[Nagios-users] Set up user for monitoring purpose
Hi All, I would like to set up a new user (say monitor) for the purpose of monitoring the nagios GUI interface alerts. He should be having less privileges than a user nagiosadmin. Is that possible? I just want to give him a basic privileges like acknowledge host and services. can you tell me is there anyway to accomplish such task?

Hi Marc,
I've tried doing as you suggested, but my post check command does not
seem to be being executed for some reason. Do you have any idea what I
might have done wrong? Here is the setup I've used;
In nagios.cfg
obsess_over_hosts=1
ochp_command=host_check
And then in commands.cfg;
define command
{
command_namehost_check
command_line/usr/local/nagios/host_check.pl $HOSTADDRESS$
$HOSTEVENTID$
}
Finally, my simple Perl script to test the output;
#!/usr/bin/perl
open MYFILE, data.txt;
print MYFILE Logging for server $ARGV[0], Event ID: $ARGV[1] \n;
close (MYFILE);
Unfortunately, the script is not being called for some reason. I know
the script itself is working fine, as I've tested it independently.
I've made sure that Nagios is restarted, and the pre-flight check
doesn't report any problems. Any thoughts on what the problem might
be?
Cheers,
Chris

Further to the above email, I've also made the nagios user owner of
the host_check.pl file, but still no luck in getting it to execute.
Sorry for the monologue here, but I was messing around with it a bit
more and moved the script file into nagios/libexec to see if that made
any difference. It didn't, but in the interim period between moving
the files, updating the configs and restarting Nagios, I noticed that
the following was logged to nagios/var/nagios.log;
[1237804472] Warning: Attempting to execute the command
/usr/local/nagios/host_check.pl 127.0.0.1 53 resulted in a return
code of 127. Make sure the script or binary you are trying to execute
actually exists...
So it appears that Nagios is picking up the command OK, and is at
least *attempting* to execute it, but for some reason, nothing is
happening. Is there some permissions issue here that I'm unaware of?
Thanks again,
Chris

[Nagios-users] Using $SERVICESTATEID$ and $LASTSERVICESTATEID$ macros in notes URL
Hi all This may be a dummy question. I would like to use the $SERVICESTATEID$ and $LASTSERVICESTATEID$ macros to define a note URL for some services, but for some reasons, these macros are not processed by Nagios. For example, I defined a notes URL as : /nagios/notes/?host=$HOSTNAME$service=$SERVICEDESC$state=$SERVICESTATEID$ This gave me the following note URL : http://my_serveur/nagios/notes/?host=my_hostservice=my_servicestate=$SERVICESTATEID$ instead of the waited one : http://my_serveur/nagios/notes/?host=my_hostservice=my_servicestate=0 I checked on the macros chart given in the documentation but the $SERVICEDESC$ macro and the $SERVICESTATEID$ and $LASTSERVICESTATEID$ ones have the same ranges of use. Is it possible to use those macros in notes URL (and in that case where am I doing wrong ?) or should I use an other way to generate my note pages dynamically depending on the service's state ?

I've never installed Nagios before. I was asked to take over an existing installation. I'm going to install the latest version of Nagios on a clean CentOS build. We've never used Opsview before, but I looked into it and like the idea of using Opsview to configure all of the hosts, hostgroups, contacts, contactgroups, etc via a web browser.There isn't very detailed installation instructions on the Opsview website. Is it very difficult to install Opsview and integrate it into Nagios?

[Nagios-users] Service latency suddenly through the roof
Hi, I'm running nagios 2.0b4, on suse 9.3. The plan is to upgrade to 3.0.6 (nagios) and SLES10 sp1. Recently, during some checking of the data that I collect for SLA reporting, I noticed the service latency has gone through the roof! The only recent change I've made is to put ssh checks as a host check. This was to filter ssh checks away from the service problem web interface as we do have to shut nodes down from time to time but we don't want to be alerted as a service problem. I then had to introduce check_dummy as the service check (otherwise the pre-flight check outputs hundred of lines stating the no services was associated with host). The check_dummy service check is only done on a Sunday once per host as it's a dummy check. I thought this would put less load on Nagios (please correct me if I'm wrong) We regard service problems to only be checks against our databases. Does anyone know of what could set this servicelatency to suddenly increase like this ? regards, deborah *** This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.

How do you verify that the program isn't getting executed? Does it
log something to a file with modes 666 every time it's run, or do you
just assume this because it doesn't insert the data into the database?

Re: [Nagios-users] Service latency suddenly through the roof
Andreas, Thanks for your reply. I completely agree with the suggestion of upgrading. I'm currently migrating configs across to Nagios 3.0.6 with the hope of switching to this box in about a week. I was hoping to keep the configs on the nagios 2.0b4 box fairly consistent with the new box so we can run them in parallel for about a month before trashing it. Should I expect latency to be a lot lower with the new version of Nagios ? I'm currently looking at the logs produced so far for the new version to see what the latency levels are like. regards, deborah -Original Message- From: Andreas Ericsson [mailto:a...@op5.se] Sent: 23 March 2009 14:02 To: Deborah Martin Cc: 'nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net' Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] Service latency suddenly through the roof Deborah Martin wrote: Hi, I'm running nagios 2.0b4, on suse 9.3. The plan is to upgrade to 3.0.6 (nagios) and SLES10 sp1. Recently, during some checking of the data that I collect for SLA reporting, I noticed the service latency has gone through the roof! The only recent change I've made is to put ssh checks as a host check. This was to filter ssh checks away from the service problem web interface as we do have to shut nodes down from time to time but we don't want to be alerted as a service problem. Did you also enable scheduled host checks? In 2.x, nagios stops everything as soon as it runs a host check, so latency will naturally go through the roof. I then had to introduce check_dummy as the service check (otherwise the pre-flight check outputs hundred of lines stating the no services was associated with host). The check_dummy service check is only done on a Sunday once per host as it's a dummy check. I thought this would put less load on Nagios (please correct me if I'm wrong) We regard service problems to only be checks against our databases. Does anyone know of what could set this servicelatency to suddenly increase like this ? Since you're running a beta release that's more than 2 years old, I'm not even remotely interested to guess or investigate this matter. At least upgrade to latest 2.x stable (2.12, I think?). If the problem still persists, then it's worth investigating. -- Andreas Ericsson andreas.erics...@op5.se OP5 AB www.op5.se Tel: +46 8-230225 Fax: +46 8-230231 Considering the successes of the wars on alcohol, poverty, drugs and terror, I think we should give some serious thought to declaring war on peace. *** This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.

When you test it manually, do you test as the same user as Nagios runs
as? If not, are you removing the file the script should write to before
you try letting Nagios run it? Does Nagios have write access to the
directory where the file resides?
It's quite common that people try things like this as root, and then
the file is not writable by nagios, but the script has no sensible way
of letting the user know that, so they think Nagios isn't running the
script at all. I'm 99% sure it's something like that in this case too,
or this list would be cluttered with questions why ocsp/ochp commands
don't work.

I can't speak to the specifics of what RPMForge does for defaults but
generally, your host's check_command doesn't work or doesn't
accurately reflect the status of the host.
What is the Status Information?
What is the host{} definition?
What is the command{} definition it references as it's check_command?

the host remotely via HTTP it isn't down. Any thoughts on how to fix
this? Also, this was a clean install of the OS that I installed

An somewhat arbitrary guess is that the host check_command tries to
ping localhost and that doesn't work. Can you ping localhost as the
nagios user? If not, you may need to SUID /bin/ping so that it can be
run by non-root users.

[Nagios-users] Service Template Inheritance
I am working on setting up Nagios for the first time and am trying to search
different forums to find my answers, but it appears forums.meulie.net has
been down for several days (or I can't seem to get there from my network)
and SF is giving me Search Server timeout errors when I try and search this
forum.
This is a long way of apologizing up front if this question is therefore
redundant to topics already covered at length in the past.
I am struggling with getting service template inheritance to work properly
as it relates to placing the check_command in an inherited template
I did see a brief post about this from around 2003, but I wasn't able to
fully follow the chain.
Having read the documentation and doing some pondering, I am looking to
break my service monitoring into two notification trees: Production and
Development. That way, I am not bothered by development services alerting
off hours and only get production notifications off hours. (If there is a
better way to set this up, I'm open to suggestions.) Additionally, when I am
working with one platform, I can define the one command centrally and not
have to worry about changing it in several places if I choose to go a
different route.
Therefore, I am setting up my services as follows:
define service {
name global_service # All the settings found in the global-service
example in the quickstart setup
register 0
}
define service { name windows_service
use global_service
servicegroups windows_services # This will group all windows services
together
register 0
}
# Define the central definition of Client Version
define service {
name w_client_version # Windows Service, get Client Version of
NSClient++
use windows_service
service_description NSClient Version
check_command check_nt!CLIENTVERSION
register 0 # Don't register this yet as it will be referenced
later!
}
# No inheritance here, begin the production shell of notification periods to
override any global settings
define service {
nameproduction_service
notification_period 24x7# Set 24x7 notification and other
intervals/options
.
register 0
}
## Now for putting the command and the service level together such that it
is production and will notify based on the production_service entry when the
w_client_version command is executed:
define service {
name production_client_version
use production_service,w_client_version # Merge the
Production definition with the service command
}
I keep getting an error when validating the configuration (nagios -v
nagios.cfg) that the w_client_version is a duplicate within the config files
and I have searched for it only finding it in one location.
Can the check_command only be defined at the lowest level? Is this a valid
configuration or are there better examples of separating development alerts
from production alerts?
(I'm using Nagios v 3.0.6)
Thanks,
Ken

[Nagios-users] Code of 139 when checking mapped unit
Hello everybody,
I am pretty novice at Nagios, so I hope that my question were easy to answer,
or at least, I could get a hint...
The thing is that I want to monitor a mapped unit on a Windows host, just to
check the available disk space (i.e., drive U:, that might be myuser at
server\users).
What I have done is the following:
At windows.cfg:
(...)
define host {
use windows-server
host_name myhost
alias My Windows host
address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
}
(...)
define service {
use generic-service
host_name myhost
service_description Check C: disk space
check_command check_nt!USEDDISKSPACE!-l c -w 80 -c 90
}
define service {
use generic-service
host_name myhost
service_description Check mapped unit U: disk space
check_command check_nt!USEDDISKSPACE!-l u -w 80 -c 90
}
(I had previously installed NSClient++ at the host...).
The thing is that I get a correct answer from C:, but U: gives me the error
Return code of 139 is out of bounds.
So obviously I guess that it's not that what I should have done.
I checked the log file at the Windows host and it only says -repeatedly: NSCA
Configuration missmatch. I don't think it has anything to see with my problem
though...
Any hint?
Thanks in advance.

[Nagios-users] extra garbled characters at end of plugin result output
Dear All, I seem to get extra garbled characters at the end of the data returned by the various plugins running on Solaris clients. Unfortunately, it's messing up my graphing (pnp4nagios) output. My NAGIOS server is on a RedHat 5.3 system while most of my clients are Solaris 9/10.

I keep getting an error when validating the configuration (nagios -v

and I have searched for it only finding it in one location.
Can the check_command only be defined at the lowest level? Is this a valid

[Nagios-users] Example setups for a newbie
Hi! I'm relatively new to Nagios but for a number of reasons we want to migrate away from Hobbit. I've read the manual, read some of the book Nagios 3 Enterprise Network Monitoring, setup most of our hosts and some services but I cannot really get all the groups (service group, host group, contact group) and their relation to templates etc. So could you give me a short description of your setups (maybe some of them candidates for the manual)? What templates you have, what groups you have and so on. Just to give newbies some pointers to how to organise stuff. -- Fredrik Rambris fredrik.ramb...@it.cdon.com -- 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] Hosts are Critical
Marc,
The status (of the host in Nagios) is down.
The host definition is:
define host{
use linux-server; Name of
host template$
; This host
definition $
; in (or
inherited by) $
host_name localhost
alias localhost
address 127.0.0.1
}
This is how it is out-of-the-box. How would I impliment a check_command?
Thanks,
Andy

I can't speak to the specifics of what RPMForge does for defaults but
generally, your host's check_command doesn't work or doesn't
accurately reflect the status of the host.
What is the Status Information?
What is the host{} definition?
What is the command{} definition it references as it's check_command?
Obviously since I'm accessing
the host remotely via HTTP it isn't down. Any thoughts on how to fix
this? Also, this was a clean install of the OS that I installed
Apache, MySQL, PHP, and Nagios onto (including dependencies).
An somewhat arbitrary guess is that the host check_command tries to
ping localhost and that doesn't work. Can you ping localhost as the
nagios user? If not, you may need to SUID /bin/ping so that it can be
run by non-root users.

Re: [Nagios-users] Code of 139 when checking mapped unit
In regards to your NCSA Mismatch, are you intending to use NSClient++
through NCSA or only through the check_nt option? If you aren't using NCSA,
you may need to double check your nsc.ini file to make sure it is commented
out.
There is a pretty good tutorial here
http://trac.nakednuns.org/nscp/wiki/doc/usage/nagios for configuring
NSClient for simple check_nt usage.
As far as the other error goes, I'm not sure how NSClient handles mapped
drives. I know there was a post a while back about someone accidently
monitoring a CDROM drive that caused errors.
You can also run the NSClient from the command line with /test argument and
then run any command through there to see what the output is. That may help
identify what is causing the 139 error. (here is the link on how to use the
/test argument in NSClient http://trac.nakednuns.org/nscp/wiki/doc/Usage)

Hello everybody,
I am pretty novice at Nagios, so I hope that my question were easy to
answer, or at least, I could get a hint...
The thing is that I want to monitor a mapped unit on a Windows host, just
to check the available disk space (i.e., drive U:, that might be myuser at
server\users).
What I have done is the following:
At windows.cfg:
(...)
define host {
use windows-server
host_name myhost
alias My Windows host
address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
}
(...)
define service {
use generic-service
host_name myhost
service_description Check C: disk space
check_command check_nt!USEDDISKSPACE!-l c -w 80 -c 90
}
define service {
use generic-service
host_name myhost
service_description Check mapped unit U: disk space
check_command check_nt!USEDDISKSPACE!-l u -w 80 -c 90
}
(I had previously installed NSClient++ at the host...).
The thing is that I get a correct answer from C:, but U: gives me the error
Return code of 139 is out of bounds.
So obviously I guess that it's not that what I should have done.
I checked the log file at the Windows host and it only says -repeatedly:
NSCA Configuration missmatch. I don't think it has anything to see with my
problem though...
Any hint?
Thanks in advance.

Service checks can inherit their notification period from their

production servers with different notification periods, but I can use
the same service templates for both since I haven't got a notification
period defined in my service template.. The production server host
template can notify 24x7, but the dev server host template is limitited
to notifying during work hours. The check period is 24x7 for both types
of hosts, so Nagios always knows what's going on, even if it isn't
saying anything about it.
Services can also inherit their contacts from their associated hosts, so
my prod host template includes a pager contact group that my dev host
template does not.

I keep getting an error when validating the configuration (nagios -v
nagios.cfg) that the w_client_version is a duplicate within the config
files and I have searched for it only finding it in one location.
I haven't tried referencing two templates in a definition before, so I
can't tell you if that works or not. My instinct is to try it with just
one template and see if the error goes away.
Can the check_command only be defined at the lowest level? Is this a
valid configuration or are there better examples of separating

You can set the check_command in the service template and/or the service
definition. Anything you set in the service definition that's already
been set in the service template will override the template's settings.
For example, I have an SSL-enabled site service template defined to use
/ as its URL (my standard_service template has other things defined):
define service {
use standard_service
nameSSL Site
check_command check_ssl_site!/
notes blah blah blah
register0
}
For a host where I want to check /, all I need is:
define service {
use SSL Site
host_name foo
}
But for a host where I want to check a different URL, I use:
define service {
use SSL Site
host_name different-foo
check_command check_ssl_site!/foo/bar/bat.asp
}
The second one is still inheriting everything except the check_command
from the SSL Site template.
However, I think the answer to splitting up your dev and prod service
types is just letting them inherit the notification period from the
host. You'll have half the service templates to manage if you can do that.
Look for implied inheritance on this page:

Re: [Nagios-users] Service Template Inheritance
Chris,
Thanks for the detailed info. I had gone through the inheritance
documentation you'd listed below, but I didn't put the facts together that I
can mix my host template with my service template such that I can have a
host's notification settings apply to a service. I had been trying to figure
out how to merge the two since I want the service checks associated with my
development hosts to take on the host notifications. I'll have to go back
and re-evaluate this and see if I can get this working. If so, I agree, it
will cut down on the number of templates and areas I have to define
notifications.

check_command check_ssl_site!/foo/bar/bat.asp
}
The second one is still inheriting everything except the check_command from
the SSL Site template.
However, I think the answer to splitting up your dev and prod service types
is just letting them inherit the notification period from the host. You'll
have half the service templates to manage if you can do that.
Look for implied inheritance on this page:

2009/3/23 acarl...@princeton-il.com: Marc, it also is giving me the following error: Return code of 127 is out of bounds - plugin may be missing Sorry for not mentioning that before. Thanks, Andy yeah, that's probably the problem - nagios can't find / can't run the plugin. Make sure that the plugins are installed, nagios can run them, and nagios knows where they are. presumably you already installed the plugins through the RPMForge repository, so they should be executable by the nagios user. As for telling nagios where they are, you should have a commands file that defines commands. It'll use one the $USER$, most likely $USER1$. Edit resources.cfg and point $USER1$ (or whatever) to the correct location of your nagios plugins, which will be where you installed them.

I like to think I'm relatively competent with Nagios, but I fought with nagiosgraph for a while before I ran out of patience and gave up. Unfortunately it's been several months since I did this, so I can't remember why I hated it so much. It didn't help that there are multiple packages out there named 'nagiosgraph'. pnp4nagios, otoh, installed quickly, easily, and just works. I'm disappointed that Nagios doesn't have a graphing engine built in. It's silly to go to the trouble of setting up checks to build datapoints (e.g. ping RTT, memory, disk space) and then throw away data that could have great historic value.

Re: [Nagios-users] Scheduling Queue
Hi Ricardo I believe that a better approach is to change your script to schedule a new service check through nagios pipe. What you think about that? Using pipe we can insert a new service check to our Nagios and this server can schedule service checks dinamically. thats a interesting option, i made a new script to be used as a plugin which can detect and optional fix service checks through the command interface. Works well on my system.

For this project our aim is to inject Nagios's alert message to Service Desk system and it can create a 'Trouble Ticket' automatically. So I want to find out basic requirement of Nagios at Nagios side and it how to provide interface (E.g. Application programming interface (API)) for the Trouble Ticket system.

Re: [Nagios-users] Example setups for a newbie

I've read the manual, read some of the book Nagios 3 Enterprise Network Monitoring, setup most of our hosts and some services but I cannot really get all the groups (service group, host group, contact group) and their relation to templates etc. So could you give me a short description of your setups (maybe some of them candidates for the manual)? What templates you have, what groups you have and so on. Just to give newbies some pointers to how to organise stuff.

[Nagios-users] Nagios and email
Hello, I have a kind of custom nagios setup, so maybe this is a byproduct of that... I had to reboot my nagios server today, and it didn't come right back up. By the time it did, it realized that the service checks weren't fresh, and started sending out lots of notifications. I stopped sendmail to keep from flooding my inbox...so here's the question: I just want to clear out the outgoing email queue. mailq and sendmail -bp both show nothing queued up. When I restart sendmail, it starts sending again. Has nagios passed all the emails over to sendmail, and I just need to clear out sendmail's queue, or is nagios holding onto them while sendmail isn't running, and then once it sees sendmail running, it starts dumping email into the queue? Which is it, and how do I clear them from the queue?

It's probably Nagios. Does the blizzard of emails stop when you stop the Nagios service?
