Re: [Nagios-users] Interesting problem while trying to monitor Oracle RAC services [Solved]
check the environment of the users launching the script. Which user do you
use to launch the script locally? And which one from remote?
On nagios server I have tried executing it as root user as well as
nagios user but the problem remains.
Hello all,
I made a mistake in the plug-in. Both Perl script and KSH script were
residing in the same directory. When executing locally it knew where
to look for external shell script. The code was as follows:
my $PIPED = qx# ksh check_oracle_services.sh $SERVICE #;
But when executed from nagios server, NRPE daemon on monitored host
wouldn't know where to look for the shell script hence the wrong
output. Adding absolute path to the check_oracle_services.sh fixed
the problem
my $PIPED = qx# ksh /home/nagios/nrpe/libexec/check_oracle_services.sh
$SERVICE #;
The new code is as follows (may be someone would find it useful):
check_oracle_services.pl
#!/usr/bin/env perl
use strict;
use Getopt::Std;
my %return_value = (
OK = 0,
CRIT = 2,
UNKNOWN = 3
);
my $message = nagios;
my $exit_status;
my %opt=();
getopts(p:h, \%opt);
sub usage(){
print Usage: $0 -p service_name\n;
exit $return_value{'UNKNOWN'};
}
usage() if defined $opt{'h'};
my $SERVICE = $opt{'p'} if defined $opt{'p'} || usage();
my $PIPED = qx# ksh /home/nagios/nrpe/libexec/check_oracle_services.sh
$SERVICE #;
if ($PIPED =~ /OFFLINE/g) {
$exit_status = $return_value{'CRIT'};
$message = Critical: $SERVICE is not running.;
} else {
$exit_status = $return_value{'OK'};
$message = OK: $SERVICE is running.;
}
print $message\n;
exit $exit_status;
check_oracle_services.sh
#!/usr/bin/ksh
RSC_KEY=$1
/oracle/crs_home/bin/crs_stat -u | awk \
'BEGIN { FS==; state = 0; } \
$1~/NAME/ $2~/'$RSC_KEY'/ {appname = $2; state=1}; \
state == 0 {next;} \
$1~/TARGET/ state == 1 {apptarget = $2; state=2;} \
$1~/STATE/ state == 2 {appstate = $2; state=3;} \
state == 3 {printf %-45s %-18s\n, appname, appstate; state=0;}'
Sorry for the inconvenience caused.
Thanks

[Nagios-users] Nagios and Cacti
Hi all, I've been looking into making use of Cacti to act as an SNMP management tool which runs alongside my Nagios instance. Ideally, what I would like to do is have Cacti monitor various SNMP-exposed metrics on my hosts, and then have a service check in Nagios which parses Cacti's results (which I believe are RRD files) and send alerts etc. Nagios itself will still be used for running directly checks for services running, errors in log files etc. Does this approach make sense? One issue that I can think of is the difficulty in keeping the config files of Nagios and Cacti synchronised. I was planning on using Lilac Platform to act as my Nagios config file management tool, but how that is kept in synch with Cacti is a problem. Has anyone ever set up an arrangement like this before?

Thierry please send all your replies to the list and not to individual members - so other may learn from the information gathered by other members . second : this is a command declaration in the commands file , have you associated a service to the host ? and even before that - did you install the nagios-plugins ? the nagios-plugins are the actual check scripts executed to preform the checks , and without them you will not be able to use any of nagios capabilities.

Here are the important stats:

While the first command works fine, and sets the service to an OK

the next two (which I've tried in various combinations) show up in the
Nagios logs as having been sent, but do nothing. The check that
appears
in the config files keeps running instead of my check_ok check.
Here's how it shows up in the logs:
[1239128528] EXTERNAL COMMAND: CHANGE_SVC_EVENT_HANDLER;dummy-
host;DNS;check_ok
[1239128528] EXTERNAL COMMAND: CHANGE_SVC_CHECK_COMMAND;dummy-
host;DNS;check_ok
I've noticed the message is different if I use an invalid command, so
I'm relatively sure I'm using the right ones; they just don't do
anything.
Event handlers are enabled for these services, but even if they
weren't
the check command should change, right?
Am I doing something wrong here, or have I run into a bug?
I'm not using 3.x yet but just to provide some feedback, what you're
doing looks reasonable from my reading of the documentation. I do see
this in 3.1.0's commands.c though --
/* SECURITY PATCH - disable these for the time being */
switch(cmd){
case CMD_CHANGE_GLOBAL_HOST_EVENT_HANDLER:
case CMD_CHANGE_GLOBAL_SVC_EVENT_HANDLER:
case CMD_CHANGE_HOST_EVENT_HANDLER:
case CMD_CHANGE_SVC_EVENT_HANDLER:
case CMD_CHANGE_HOST_CHECK_COMMAND:
case CMD_CHANGE_SVC_CHECK_COMMAND:
return ERROR;
}
That's in the right section and my reading of the code is that it does
exactly that; prevent changing of those values... Maybe it's something
being worked on in the development branch?

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios and Cacti
And just an FYI from my own experience... putting Nagios Cacti on the same server has been somewhat problematic for us. We have over 400 network devices between switches, routers, WAPs, etc. We also have about 300 monitored servers. Initially I had Nagios and Cacti both on one server with Cacti running via cron every 5 minutes. About every 5 minutes, my shells would become unresponsive for roughly 30 to 90 seconds. Turning off either Nagios or Cacti resolved the issue. Running both seems to have hammered the server a bit (4Gb of RAM, 2 x dual core 2.x Ghz CPUs). We don't integrate Cacti and Nagios, however. Nagios does both trending and alerts of all servers. Cacti does trending only of all network devices/ports. Once I moved Cacti to its own server, all was fine as far as load/latency went. A.

From the first glance it looks like they just installed it and never bothered to configure anything in it . not nagios is a great tool , but it requires quite a bit of initial configuration and setup , which looks like the didn't do .

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios and Cacti
It depends on the intensity of your snmp usage. Cacti has a native
daemon to do large scale snmp getting, and it does a great job of it.
So if u have hundreds of devices, each with a lot of interfaces, u
will probably like cacti. The user interface is also well done for
graphing snmp data and thresholding on it using the threshold plugin.

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios and Cacti
If you move your mysql instance to another server, you can get much
better performance on a nagios/cacti server. Check top while cacti is
running a large install and you will see that mysql is hoarding CPU
and memory resources not leaving much for nagios.

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios and Cacti
I agree. Initially I had Nagios doing all the trending. But with 400+
network devices and many of them with multiple 48 port blades, I found
Cacti was easier to configure... it scaled a lot better. For a smaller
network, you could easily do just Nagios. I've had no issues at all with
Nagios + PNP for alerts and trending. In fact, Nagios still watches my
core network devices (but not all the ports of them... ie: Nagios
watches that switch1 is up and available and trends its CPU and memory
usage... however I use Cacti for trending the 6 blades each with 48
ports in switch1). This way, if switch1 fails or utilization is too
high, Nagios tells me, but if a particular user is hogging all our
bandwidth or having lots of packet loss, I find that via Cacti.

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios Warning Bug/Misconfiguration
Got the issue. Turns out someone installed the Cisco MIBS along with the
net snmp mibs. Thank you very much for your help.
For anyone searching and finds this check
/usr/local/share/snmp/mibs
and see if you have some-snmp-mib.txt and some-snmp-mib.my
Thanks Again!

# ./check_snmp -H 192.168.97.71 -o mib-2.33.1.2.4.0 -C secret -w 95: -c 75:
SNMP WARNING - 100 | SNMPv2-SMI::mib-2.33.1.2.4.0=100
# ./check_snmp -H 192.168.97.71 -o mib-2.33.1.2.4.0 -C secret -w 95 -c 75:
SNMP WARNING - *100* | SNMPv2-SMI::mib-2.33.1.2.4.0=100
So by intentionally triggering it again (remove :), it shows the *'s
How about if you add a -v to get verbose output?
Also, you may want to check the return code from the manual run on an OK
resultx (for example, by running echo $? aafter your check_snmp
command to make sure it matches what you see in the output).
What happens in my case occasionally is that I install a screwed-up MIB
for an unrelated service. It won't show any obvious errors, but it will
cause check_snmp to return a warning result code regardless of whether
the SNMP result falls within my thresholds.
In effect, it's warning me that my MIBs are hosed, based on
the fact that it got a non-OK result from snmpget (which is what
check_snmp calls to do the actual SNMP getting).
Not really sure what they mean by:
1. Prevent check_snmp from loading the MIBs (default behaviour) by using
numeric oids AND using the -m : option
If you a numeric OID rather than mib-2.33.1.2.4.0 and pass the -m :
then check_snmp (and, by extension, snmpget) don't need to load the MIBs
at all, so you don't get an error if you've got a bad MIB.

Hi all,

it gets the * value * in turn, showing that it is actually in the

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios and Cacti
Is there some major advantage that Cacti provides when it comes to SNMP monitoring of network devices that cannot be achieved with Nagios and the various SNMP plug-ins available for it (e.g. like these ones http://nagios.manubulon.com) ? Also does anyone have some nagios config examples integrating PNP and these SNMP plugins... I have been trying to get an idea how to create the commands.cfg and services.cfg using these parts... Any examples of host based checks would be great. I have tried to read the relevant docs but have not found explicit nagios .cfg examples... if they exist a gentle pointer would also be great. thank you, Giovanni -- This SF.net email is sponsored by: High Quality Requirements in a Collaborative Environment.

Re: [Nagios-users] Children unreachable on soft down?
I wonder if there is something you can do with notification escalations?

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios and Cacti
I agree with Daniel's post below. We have Nagios and Cacti running on the
same system; Nagios monitors 691 hosts and 1800 services while Cacti is
pulling stats for about the same number of hosts, but something like 3200
data sources. They run on a dual Xeon 2.8 Ghz box with only 2 Gb or RAM
(no swapping going on). Average load is about 1.5 and peaks at 3 about 3-4
times a day.
The key is that mysql operations are on a dedicated box with 15k SCSI
drives and RAID 10.

And just an FYI from my own experience... putting Nagios Cacti on
the same server has been somewhat problematic for us. We have over
400 network devices between switches, routers, WAPs, etc. We also
have about 300 monitored servers. Initially I had Nagios and Cacti
both on one server with Cacti running via cron every 5 minutes. About
every 5 minutes, my shells would become unresponsive for roughly 30
to 90 seconds. Turning off either Nagios or Cacti resolved the issue.
Running both seems to have hammered the server a bit (4Gb of RAM, 2 x
dual core 2.x Ghz CPUs). We don't integrate Cacti and Nagios,
however. Nagios does both trending and alerts of all servers. Cacti
does trending only of all network devices/ports. Once I moved Cacti
to its own server, all was fine as far as load/latency went.

Hello:
There are a couple of examples in the nagios exchange page of
different approachs for integrating nagios and cacti. You
should check that out.
I believe the synchronization is going to cost you time and
money, a better approach is to use nagios + pnp4naigos (this
generates nice graphs) + check_snmp_int.pl (this for bandwidth
tests). That way you have only one place to place your
configuration. There are tons of other snmp plugins you can
use for other tests (CPU, Memory, etc),

It's not. That snippet comes from Nov 30 2008 as a measure to prevent
CVE-2008-5027 (cmd.cgi authorization bypass vulnerability) and
CVE-2008-5028 (cross-site request forgery) from becoming remote command

Ethan added that snippet as an extra security measure. It's been in
Nagios since 3.0.4.
Assuming both the patches I sent are applied, it's safe to remove that
particular snippet and recompile Nagios.

[Nagios-users] Hostnames and regex
I recently changed a Nagios configuration to use a regex with
hostnames but it hasn't been entirely satisfactory. I have e.g.
define service{
use generic-service
host_name host*
service_description Total Processes
check_command snmp_procs!120!150
but for some hosts, I need to use different thresholds. I tried to use
define service{
use generic-service
host_name hostNN
service_description Total Processes
check_command snmp_procs!200!250
but hostNN still alerts based on the host* thresholds. I tried placing
the definition for host NN before AND after the host* definition - it
made no difference. From what I read of Nagios regex, they're not full
regex so it wouldn't be possible to write one which matched host* but
didn't match hostNN.
Is there a way of doing what I want, apart from the obvious one of
renaming the hosts which I don't want to match the regex?

[Nagios-users] Monitor netstat connection states using nagios.
Hi All, I am using check_tcp to check status of a particular port on the server. This is working good. I would also need to monitor LISTEN status (SYN_RECV) of that port. for ex, I have a ldap service running on port 3890, so the command netstat -anp | grep 3890 tcp0 0 0.0.0.0:3890 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 16029/java tcp0 0 10.121.30.121:3890 10.121.6.1:8831 ESTABLISHED 16029/java tcp0 0 10.121.30.121:3890 10.121.6.1:61052 ESTABLISHED 16029/java tcp 228 0 10.121.30.121:3890 10.121.6.1:49440 ESTABLISHED 16029/java tcp0 0 10.121.30.121:3890 10.121.6.1:11664 SYN_RECV16029/java The establish connections are ok to allow, but we need to monitor SYN_RECV status. If there is any such(SYN_RECV) connection appears, we immediately get an alert from nagios. Is there any way to monitor such states with nagios or check_tcp? I have written some shell script to monitor such events, but also I would like to integrate that scripts into nagios? Is that possible? Please help me Thanks -- Shankar -- This SF.net email is sponsored by: High Quality Requirements in a Collaborative Environment.
