Hello 

I've been using nagiosgraph for a while , and i am slowly adding new graphs to 
the nagios , now i am 
trying to add a graph for our windows based machines , to show the Page file 
use , 

this is what i have now now in my map file :
# Service type: ntcount
#   check command: check_nt -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -t 20 -p 1248 -v COUNTER -l $ARG1$ 
-w $ARG2$ -c $ARG3$
#   output: Paging file usage is 53.07 %
#   perfdata:Paging file usage is %.2f %%=1.899340%;35.00;90.00;
#/prefdata:Paging file usage is.*=([.0-9]+)%;([.0-9]+);([.0-9]+)/
/output:Paging file usage is (\d+)%/
 and push @s, [ pagecounter,
[ pageused , GAUGE, $1 ],
#   [ pagewarn , GAUGE, $2 ],
#   [ pagecrit , GAUGE, $3 ],
];

As you can see i tried the prefdata , and output options but with no success .


From the nagiosgrapg.log :

 Thu Apr  9 10:51:38 2009 insert.pl debug - processdata data = [
  '1239270667',
  'Host',
  'Page file use',
  'Paging file usage is 1.90 %',
  'Paging file usage is %.2f %%=1.897430%;35.00;90.00;
'
];
Thu Apr  9 10:51:38 2009 insert.pl warn - perfdata not recognized:

servicedescr:Page file use
output:Paging file usage is 1.90 %
perfdata:Paging file usage is %.2f %%=1.897430%;35.00;90.00;


Can anyone help me understand where my mistake is ?

Thank You

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagis connection refused error

Hello 

A couple of things pop to mind :

1) is the windows firewall active ?

2) have you configured the windows NSClient to accept queries from  the nagios 
server ?

3) do you have a firewall in between the nagios server and the target machines ?

 Hi All,

 I am using check_tcp to check status of a particular port on the

 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 or provide some suggestions
You can integrate almost any shell script you want into Nagios. All you 
need to do is implement the Nagios plugin specification, which is fairly 
trivial to do for most scripts. Return 0, 1 or 2 (OK, warn or critical) 
to as exit code, and return the actual result data via stdout in a 
single line. The details are in the Nagios documentation.

On the windows machine in nsclient installation directory look for a

In the file you have several sections defined by [] find the one
relating to NSclient .
In that section you have a directive allowed_hosts  - you will need to
add the nagios server ip .
Below it you have directive port - you need to un comment it and
define the  port you wish to

once that is done , stop the nsclient service and restart it.

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios and Cacti

2009-04-09 Thread Christopher McAtackney

 With parallel checks in Nagios 3 and some configuration tuning and
 well-written SNMP checks, I'd argue that Nagios is as good if not a
 better poller than cactid :).   our instance is not huge, but
 currently we do 7000+ SNMP-based checks in 3 minutes on a dual
 quad-core Linux-based server.

 Before PNP I used to use Cacti and Nagios.  I like Cacti, but with PNP
 around I would never go back to that combination again .. Nagios + PNP
 really does simplify life for Nagios administrators and provides a lot
 of flexibility as far as how you scale your graphing as your node base
 grows.

 - Max

Hi Max,

Do you all of your SNMP management manually? I'm still learning a lot
about SNMP, and was under the impression that Cacti took a lot of the
pain out of SNMP management, but I'd be interested in hearing how you
administer it in your system just using Nagios + PNP4Nagios if you
don't mind?

Cheers,
Chris

Re: [Nagios-users] Monitor netstat connection states using nagios.

2009-04-09 Thread asam30

Hi All,

thank you for prompt response.

I am trying this on one of the linux test server and I am monitoring port 80
(web server) to monitor port status TIME_WAIT. which means if netstat  -anp
| grep 80 returns any state as TIME, then get an alert on nagios.


STATE_OK=0
STATE_WARNING=1
STATE_CRITICAL=2
STATE_UNKNOWN=3

netstat  -anp  | grep 80  synport
err=`cat synport | grep  TIME | wc  -l |awk '{print $1}'`
if [ $err -gt 0 ]
then
echo WARNING - STATUS= TIME_WAIT port status on $HOSTNAME | WARNING -
STATUS=TIME_WAIT port status on $HOSTNAME
 #exit ${STATE_WARNING}
fi


Can you tell me if this ok? Guide me where I am missing? This is my first
script to integrate to nagios.

Thanks

  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 or provide some suggestions
 You can integrate almost any shell script you want into Nagios. All you
 need to do is implement the Nagios plugin specification, which is fairly
 trivial to do for most scripts. Return 0, 1 or 2 (OK, warn or critical)
 to as exit code, and return the actual result data via stdout in a
 single line. The details are in the Nagios documentation.

 Hi Assaf,

 I have checked all the things that you mentioned below. I think
 something related to the configuration. Please suggest.

You should send configuration information then so that we do not have  
to guess what you've done. You should also detail which windows client  
you installed and how you installed and configured it.

You'll need to copy the script to the remote host then use one of the  
standard remote plugin execution methods (NRPE, check_by_ssh, etc) to  
run it from nagios on the remote host.

 Hello

 I've been using nagiosgraph for a while , and i am slowly adding new graphs 
 to the nagios , now i am
 trying to add a graph for our windows based machines , to show the Page file

 this is what i have now now in my map file :
 # Service type: ntcount
 #   check command: check_nt -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -t 20 -p 1248 -v COUNTER -l 
 $ARG1$ -w $ARG2$ -c $ARG3$
 #   output: Paging file usage is 53.07 %
 #   perfdata:Paging file usage is %.2f %%=1.899340%;35.00;90.00;
 #/prefdata:Paging file usage is.*=([.0-9]+)%;([.0-9]+);([.0-9]+)/
 /output:Paging file usage is (\d+)%/
  and push @s, [ pagecounter,
        [ pageused , GAUGE, $1 ],
 #       [ pagewarn , GAUGE, $2 ],
 #       [ pagecrit , GAUGE, $3 ],
        ];

 As you can see i tried the prefdata , and output options but with no success .


 From the nagiosgrapg.log :

  Thu Apr  9 10:51:38 2009 insert.pl debug - processdata data = [
  '1239270667',
  'Host',
  'Page file use',
  'Paging file usage is 1.90 %',
  'Paging file usage is %.2f %%=1.897430%;35.00;90.00;
 '
 ];

 output:Paging file usage is 1.90 %
 perfdata:Paging file usage is %.2f %%=1.897430%;35.00;90.00;


 Can anyone help me understand where my mistake is ?

 Thank You


The normal version of check_nt doesn't do performance data very well.
You might be better off querying the NSClient++ agent using check_nrpe
rather than check_nt.

Alternatively I guess you could try the enhanced version of check_nt
which comes with nc_net.  See

[Nagios-users] Centreon

Hi all,

Does anyone have any experience using Centreon? http://www.centreon.com/

It seems like a really nice front-end to Nagios, but I'd like to hear
of other people's experiences using it before installing and setting
it up.

Cheers,

Re: [Nagios-users] Monitor netstat connection states using nagios.

2009-04-09 Thread asam30

Hi,

I did copy the scipt to the remote host as check_netstat and used check_nrpe
method to excute from nagios server. It looks when executing the command on
remote server works well,

[r...@airlin libexec]# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_netstat
WARNING - STATUS= TIME_WAIT port status on airlin | WARNING -
STATUS=TIME_WAIT port status on airlin


as there are some TIME wait connections on port 80. but from the nagios
server, it always reports that the port is up and no TIME wait connections
established. This is wrong.

[r...@lnx-nagios libexec]#  /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H
172.16.17.18 -c check_netstat
OK - The port is up and running NO established connections on airlin

It looks something is worng between with nagios server or nrpe plug ins.

please help me

thanks

[Nagios-users] nagios upgrade

2009-04-09 Thread Anirudh Srinivasan

Hi I was planning to upgrade nagios from 2.9 to 3.0.6. We already have the
pnp tool (performance graph at the side bar).
My first question , while upgrading will the pnp tool get affected or messed
up by any chance?
I just want to be careful enough because nagios is one of our heavely used
application.

As a backup plan already the complete nagios is being backed up by the cron
job.
My second question :
Can i know which directory is the one that is dynamic meaning that keeps on
changing day by day. Let me list some of them here as far as i know:

1)nagios/etc
2)nagios/var

If there is any can you please list them

Hi All,

We have installed nagios (3.0.5) on Solaris sparc box and configured 
rrdtool (1.2.19) along with pnp4nagios- npcd (0.4.13) for dashboard/graph. 


By default we are getting following graph for locolhost free swap. I want 
to configure  following requirements :

(1) can we add more variable (i.e say Total Swap ) in graph ?

(2) Can we create different-different color in graph for 
different-different status critical- RED,OK-Green,Warnijng-Yellow ?

(3) last question how can we change graph updation time interval (here 
it's showing as 20 Minutes) however in our service definition,it's 10 
Minutes

Following is default graph for your better understanding :

That's impressive and good to hear about the high snmp performance you've 
achieved with nagios.

With parallel checks in Nagios 3 and some configuration tuning and
well-written SNMP checks, I'd argue that Nagios is as good if not a
better poller than cactid :).   our instance is not huge, but
currently we do 7000+ SNMP-based checks in 3 minutes on a dual
quad-core Linux-based server.

Before PNP I used to use Cacti and Nagios.  I like Cacti, but with PNP
around I would never go back to that combination again .. Nagios + PNP
really does simplify life for Nagios administrators and provides a lot
of flexibility as far as how you scale your graphing as your node base
grows.

Hi Max,

Do you all of your SNMP management manually? I'm still learning a lot
about SNMP, and was under the impression that Cacti took a lot of the
pain out of SNMP management, but I'd be interested in hearing how you
administer it in your system just using Nagios + PNP4Nagios if you
don't mind?

Cheers,
Chris

Re: [Nagios-users] nagiosgraph for paging file


Jim 

Thanks for the advise , i will try it .

My confusion is that i am able to get graphs from the check_nt for other checks 
:
# Service type: ntdisk
#   check command: check_nt -H Address -v USEDDISKSPACE -lc -w 75 -c 90
#   output: L: - total: 200.00 Gb - used: 188.43 Gb (94%) - free 11.56 Gb (6%)
#   perfdata: L:\ Used Space=4.10Gb;19.40;23.28;0.00;25.87
/perfdata:.*Space=([.0-9]+)Gb;([.0-9]+);([.0-9]+);([.0-9]+);([.0-9]+)/
 and push @s, [ ntdisk,
[ diskused, GAUGE, $1*1024**3 ],
[ diskwarn, GAUGE, $2*1024**3 ],
[ diskcrit, GAUGE, $3*1024**3 ],
[ diskmaxi, GAUGE, $5*1024**3 ] ];
works and i have the graphs  and also :

# Service type: ntmem
 #   check command: check_nt -H Address -v MEMUSE -w 50 -c 90
 #   output: Memory usage: total:2467.75 Mb - used: 510.38 Mb (21%) - free:

 and push @s, [ ntmem,

[ memwarn, GAUGE, $2*1024**2 ],

 The normal version of check_nt doesn't do performance data very well.
 You might be better off querying the NSClient++ agent using check_nrpe
 rather than check_nt.

 Alternatively I guess you could try the enhanced version of check_nt
 which comes with nc_net.  See

Re: [Nagios-users] nagios upgrade

2009-04-09 Thread Randal, Phil

Is there any way you can clone your nagios box to a VM and test on the
cloned box?
 
I've just done that here testing for a planned 2.12 to 3.0.6 upgrade.
 
You'll need to edit your nagios.cfg file to remove one obsolete option,
and there are a few new options to merge in from the example nagios.cfg.
 
I tested the worst-possible migration case - from self-compiled 2.12 to
RPMForge-packaged 3.0.6 RPM.
 
It was fun dealing with all the default directory changes, but not
impossible.
 
If you're compiling from source for both versions it should be a fairly
painless migration.
 
The side.html file is, as far as I remember, the same in both versions,
so I think you can keep your old one and copy over the newly installed
3.0.6 version.
 
My word, of course, is not gospel (and rarely is), so I'd advise you to
test, test, and test again if you can.
 
The directories which change depend on your config - a look at the paths
specified in your nagios.cfg etc will point yopu in the right direction.
(your logs might be in /var/log/nagios/, for example).
 
Cheers,
 
Phil

Hi I was planning to upgrade nagios from 2.9 to 3.0.6. We already have
the pnp tool (performance graph at the side bar). 
My first question , while upgrading will the pnp tool get affected or
messed up by any chance?
I just want to be careful enough because nagios is one of our heavely
used application.
 
As a backup plan already the complete nagios is being backed up by the
cron job. 
My second question :
Can i know which directory is the one that is dynamic meaning that keeps
on changing day by day. Let me list some of them here as far as i know:
 
1)nagios/etc
2)nagios/var
 
If there is any can you please list them

Re: [Nagios-users] Pppnp4nagios graph customization

2009-04-09 Thread MAD

I managed to create some templates graphing in different colors according to 
the threshold defined with your services

This will graph in green if the value is under the warning threshold, in yellow 
if it is between warning and critical threshold and red if it is beyond 
critical threshold or unknown...

I don't know how to do this if the performance and the state are independent 
(for example if perf are the execution time of the check script...)

(2) Can we create different-different color in graph for different-different

Re: [Nagios-users] Pppnp4nagios graph customization

2009/4/9  mohanda...@tcs.com:

 Hi All,

 We have installed nagios (3.0.5) on Solaris sparc box and configured rrdtool
 (1.2.19) along with pnp4nagios- npcd (0.4.13) for dashboard/graph.

 By default we are getting following graph for locolhost free swap. I want to
 configure  following requirements :

 (1) can we add more variable (i.e say Total Swap ) in graph ?

 (2) Can we create different-different color in graph for different-different
 status critical- RED,OK-Green,Warnijng-Yellow     ?

 (3) last question how can we change graph updation time interval (here it's
 showing as 20 Minutes) however in our service definition,it's 10 Minutes

 Following is default graph for your better understanding :


I believe there's a typo in the default.php template which means
default graphs don't show the maximum value.  Copy the file
default.php from /usr/local/nagios/share/pnp/templates.dist/ to the
../templates folder, giving it the name check_local_swap.php.  Then
edit this file to correct the problem.

The erroneous section is:

if ($WARN[$i] != ) {
$warning = $WARN[$i];
}
if ($CRIT[$i] != ) {
$critical = $CRIT[$i];
}
if ($MIN[$i] != ) {
$lower =  --lower= . $MIN[$i];
$minimum = $MIN[$i];
}
if ($CRIT[$i] != ) {THIS LINE IS WRONG!!
$upper =  --upper= . $MAX[$i];
$maximum = $MAX[$i];
}
if ($UNIT[$i] == %%) {
$vlabel = %;
}

In the line I've pointed out here, it should read $MAX not $CRIT.

Whether that fixes your problem will depend also on whether your
plugin returns the performance data in the correct format.

You can also edit the template to change colours and so on.

As for the time interval, I'm not too sure.  If you want to tinker
with the template, you'll need to read up on how it all works, for
example at http://oss.oetiker.ch/rrdtool/doc/rrdgraph.en.html and edit
the template accordingly.

For in-depth discussion of PNP, I recommend you subscribe to their

Hi Chris, Daniel,

I write about a number of the configuration decisions we made in order
to achieve our current level of performance on my blog:

http://www.semintelligent.com/blog/?q=Nagios

Please note that a number of configuration steps we have done go
against what the Nagios documentation recommends, so if you wish to do
anything similar to what we have done, make sure you understand the
Nagios documentation and understand the risks of violating the
recommendations in it.

We have done a lot of custom development to help make implementing
SNMP-based checks across a large number of hosts easier for us:
1)  We develop agent-specific checks (we currently use Net-SNMP and
SysEdge, starting to do Cisco monitoring) using perl that run clean
under ePN.  These groups of checks are associated with host groups
specific to each agent type (e.g. net-snmp-host).
2)  We create a custom base template for each agent type.  The
template has custom attributess that associate SNMP version, community
string etc with the host template.  We also use custom attributes in
each agent-specific check (e.g. CPU), so that all thresholds are
defined at the host level and we can provide default thresholds.  For
example

define host {
name net_snmp_host
  hostgroups +net_snmp_hosts
   __snmp_version 2c
   __snmp_community myreadonlycommunity
__snmp_port161
__snmp_version 2c
__snmp_storage_partitions all
__snmp_storage_warn 90
__snmp_storage_crit 95
__snmp_la_warn 15:10:5
__snmp_la_crit 30:20:10
__snmp_mem_warn free,lt,8
__snmp_mem_crit free,lt,5
__snmp_swap_warn 50
__snmp_swap_crit 65
__snmp_cpu_warn wait,gt,20
__snmp_cpu_crit wait,gt,30
  ...
  register 0
}

for custom communities we create separate templates, e.g.

define host {
name southwest-region-host
   hostgroups +southwest-hosts
  __snmp_community southWestRegionCommunity
}

so now our end users can easily tell Nagios to poll their hosts with
SNMP and they can override our thresholds if they want at the host
level without having to know a thing about programming:

define host {
   use generic-host, net_snmp_host, southwest-region-host
   #  Override CPU default thresholds
   __snmp_cpu_warn wait,gt,40
   ...
}

3)  We have developed, and hope to release sometime this year, a
perl-based, ePN friendly SNMP check script that handles counters and
gauges well, it lets you check multple SNMP OIDs at once.  This has
been extremely useful for custom SNMP application agents .. a service
definition ends up looking like this:

define service {
use check_snmp_oids-base
service_descriptionCustom App  - 5 minute SNMP checks
__snmp_oids_spec -O 'TimeMin:g:1.3.6.1.4.1.1900.5.5.2.2.1.0' \
  -O 'labelFor1sttOid:g:1.3.6.1.4.1..1.3.0' \
  -O 'labelFor2ndOid:g:1.3.6.1.4.1..1.4.0' \
  -O 'labelFor3rdtOid:g:1.3.6.1.4.1..1.5.0'\
 __snmp_oids_crit_spec labelFor1stoid,lt,0
hostgroup_name   custom-agent-group
servicegroupscustom-service-group
}

In some cases we check 15-20 OIDs at once using this methodology.
Our script uses memcached to cache counter data to get delta output
properly and we have code that adjusts data properly for over samples,
under samples, and large deltas.

Many of our checks are based off of the code I wrote that can be
downloaded here:

http://www.nagios3book.com/nagios-3-enm/checks/

Though we have significantly enhanced things.

So, a lot of development time up front but the end result is we get
terrific performance and a lot of flexibility.  We are using Nagios to
replace $$$ COTS products, so our company is happy to have us spend
time doing custom development.  I realize many of you do not have that
luxury so I understand that this won't be ideal for many of you.
sorry.

Development time with two people to get to where we are now - about 3-4 months.

We have permission to release a lot of the code we have done, just
need time to package it properly for a public release .. so hopefully
we can share some of  our tools and help others do something similar
without the 3-4 months development time :p.

hope this helps more than it confuses.

 Hi all,


Hi,



 Does anyone have any experience using Centreon? http://www.centreon.com/

 It seems like a really nice front-end to Nagios, but I'd like to hear
 of other people's experiences using it before installing and setting
 it up.


I use it since the first version. It was named oreon before. I think you
should give it a try, it's a really good project. Maybe it is difficult to
install the first time but you have some documentation to help you:
http://en.doc.centreon.com/Setup

Then you have to understand that Centreon overwrites all nagios cfg files.
Some people disagree this kind of feature because they want to modify the
nagios cfg files by hand... but if it is not a problem for you, go!

Give it a try, if you have questions, the forum may help you:
http://forum.centreon.com/

Hope it helps.

 Thanks for the advise , i will try it .

 My confusion is that i am able to get graphs from the check_nt for other 
 checks :
 # Service type: ntdisk
 #   check command: check_nt -H Address -v USEDDISKSPACE -lc -w 75 -c 90
 #   output: L: - total: 200.00 Gb - used: 188.43 Gb (94%) - free 11.56 Gb (6%)
 #   perfdata: L:\ Used Space=4.10Gb;19.40;23.28;0.00;25.87
 /perfdata:.*Space=([.0-9]+)Gb;([.0-9]+);([.0-9]+);([.0-9]+);([.0-9]+)/
  and push @s, [ ntdisk,
        [ diskused, GAUGE, $1*1024**3 ],
        [ diskwarn, GAUGE, $2*1024**3 ],
        [ diskcrit, GAUGE, $3*1024**3 ],
        [ diskmaxi, GAUGE, $5*1024**3 ] ];
 works and i have the graphs  and also :

 # Service type: ntmem
  #   check command: check_nt -H Address -v MEMUSE -w 50 -c 90
  #   output: Memory usage: total:2467.75 Mb - used: 510.38 Mb (21%) - free:

  #   perfdata: Memory usage=510.38Mb;1233.88;2220.98;0.00;2467.75
  /perfdata:.*usage=([.0-9]+)Mb;([.0-9]+);([.0-9]+);([.0-9]+);([.0-9]+)/
  and push @s, [ ntmem,
        [ memused, GAUGE, $1*1024**2 ],
        [ memwarn, GAUGE, $2*1024**2 ],
        [ memcrit, GAUGE, $3*1024**2 ],
        [ memmmax, GAUGE, $5*1024**2 ] ];

 works.

 I tried to use the same mechanism and a similar regex , but still it fails .


Yes, some of the -v options work okay and others (in particular -v
COUNTER) don't work well or at all with the default check_nt plugin.

Cheers,

Hi Christopher,

 

I am using the latest version of Centreon now with Nagios 3 on Ubuntu.
There were a couple of gotchas but overall it works beautifully.

 

See this link for their Wiki that has step by step installation
instructions.  I am going to be adding some Ubuntu specific tweaks that
I ran into on their Wiki in the next few days.  But, this is how I got
mine set up.  Feel free to email me directly if you have any questions!

 Hi All,

 We have installed nagios (3.0.5) on Solaris sparc box and configured rrdtool
 (1.2.19) along with pnp4nagios- npcd (0.4.13) for dashboard/graph.

 By default we are getting following graph for locolhost free swap. I want to
 configure  following requirements :

 (1) can we add more variable (i.e say Total Swap ) in graph ?

 (2) Can we create different-different color in graph for different-different
 status critical- RED,OK-Green,Warnijng-Yellow ?

 (3) last question how can we change graph updation time interval (here it's
 showing as 20 Minutes) however in our service definition,it's 10 Minutes

 Following is default graph for your better understanding :
 
 
 I believe there's a typo in the default.php template which means
 default graphs don't show the maximum value.  Copy the file
 default.php from /usr/local/nagios/share/pnp/templates.dist/ to the
 ../templates folder, giving it the name check_local_swap.php.  Then
 edit this file to correct the problem.
 
 The erroneous section is:
 
 if ($WARN[$i] != ) {
 $warning = $WARN[$i];
 }
 if ($CRIT[$i] != ) {
 $critical = $CRIT[$i];
 }
 if ($MIN[$i] != ) {
 $lower =  --lower= . $MIN[$i];
 $minimum = $MIN[$i];
 }
 if ($CRIT[$i] != ) {THIS LINE IS WRONG!!
 $upper =  --upper= . $MAX[$i];
 $maximum = $MAX[$i];
 }
 if ($UNIT[$i] == %%) {
 $vlabel = %;
 }

This issue is fixed since SVN Revision 555 and also in 0.4.13

[Nagios-users] NRPE_NT Checks on Mapped Network Drive

2009-04-09 Thread Michael McCoy

For off let me say this is my first mailing list, so I'm new at this, so please 
excuse any mailing list etiquette that I violate :-)
 
I am attempting to monitor the file count of a directory on a remote Windows XP 
machine.  I have installed NRPE_NT on the remote box and check_nrpe on my 
Nagios machine.  The two are talking to one another fine.  The problem is that 
the directory that I need to monitor is on a mapped network drives.  Here is 
the command I am running...
 
command[directory_file_count]=c:\WINDOWS\system32\cscript.exe //NoLogo //T:30 
c:\temp\nagioschecks\file_count.wsf g: \folder1\folder2\ 0 10
 
Basically if run this command from the DOS command line on the XP machine it 
works fine.  Once I try to run the command from check_nrpe on the Nagios host 
it gives me the following error...
 
c:\temp\nagioschecks\file_count.wsf(123, 2) Microsoft VBScript runtime error: 
Path not found
 
I have switched out the G:\folder1\folder2 for c:\temp in the command and 
Nagios checks it fine, so the problem is with the network drive.  I have looked 
into the NRPE_NT service itself and changed the log on account for it to one 
that should be able to see the drives and still nothing.  Any assistance would 
be helpful, thank you!

Hello Michael - Just a quick stab in the dark here, but in your command
def above, you have a space character after your g: - is that correct,
or could it be causing your issue?

Also, are your drives mapped as persistent, as I'm not positive the user
running the script would see them either way if not logged on
interactively. 

Can you use UNC pathing instead? Ie \\machine\share$ ? That should work
if the user has rights, and you won't have to deal with the mapped drive
issue(s) .

HTH,

Regards,
jamie

[Nagios-users] Excluding a hostgroup from a service check

2009-04-09 Thread Edward Trochim

I have a service template that specifies several host groups and one  
host to check. One of the services that inherits this template should  
not be executed by one of the host groups defined. I read the object  
tricks documentation page and found that I could include a ! before  
the name in a hostgroup_name definition in the service definition to  
exclude that hostgroup from that service. However, when I do that  
nagios excludes all hostgroups from the list from running that service.

That explanation of the problem might be a little thick so here is an  
abbreviated example.

I have a service template like this:

define service{
 name   standard-check
 usegeneric-service
 hostgroup_name hostgroup1, hostgroup2, hostgroup3,\
hostgroup4, hostgroup5, 
hostgroup6,\
hostgroup7
 host_name  host1
 servicegroups  standard_checks
 register   0
}

And a service definition like this. I want to exclude hostgroup5 from  
this one service definition:

define service{
 usestandard-check
 hostgroup_name !hostgroup5
 service_descriptionDisk Space
}

Instead of doing what I want this excludes every hostgroup defined in  
the template. host1 still gets the service though.

I am currently running nagios version 3.0.6.

Is this a bug in nagios or am I misunderstanding the way this should  
behave?

The line hostgroup_name !hostgroup5 will completely
supercede anything previously specified for hostgroup_name in the
template.

If you want it to be processed as an addition to what was in your
template, you need to prefix the list with a +. So in your service
definition, you need to put:

hostgroup_name +!hostgroup5

I've only ever used this syntax myself for specifying additional
contacts, but I guess the logic would be the same for hostgroups too.
Give it a try anyway and come back if it doesn't work.

I assume you're using Nagios 3. I don't think use of + in this way
was possible in version 2.

I believe you're just missing the magic + that indicates additive 
inheritance instead of making it override.

Try:

define service{
   use  standard-check
   hostgroup_name   +!hostgroup5
   service_description  Disk Space

Re: [Nagios-users] Excluding a hostgroup from a service check

 I believe you're just missing the magic + that indicates additive
 inheritance instead of making it override.

 Try:

 define service{
   use  standard-check
   hostgroup_name   +!hostgroup5
   service_description  Disk Space
 }

Sean is right. Otherwise, you're REDEFINING the hostgroup_name directive.

Re: [Nagios-users] NSClient not providing results

2009-04-09 Thread Anthony Montibello

IF you are running all your checks through Check_nt you could convert over
to NC_NEt or to NSCLient(the older version)

but several things to try,
I am not sure now NSCLient installs, but read its manuals and nsclient++
forum to see if you can find a solution.

NC_Net installs as a service then you can configure it to startup
automatically using window service manage.

If you MUST use NSCLient and the ONLY way you can get it runnng is by the
commadn line, then load a schedualed task that runs a bat file to start it.

Hope this helps

 Hi,

   When I set NSClient++ to start automatically in services, its running but
 not providing the results. All I'm getting is

 could not fetch information from server .

 Even when I run the check_nt plugin manually also, I'm getting the same
 result.

 [r...@nagios libexec]# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nt -H 192.168.0.119
 -p 12489 -v MEMUSE  -w 80 -c 90
 could not fetch information from server

 After searching and reading mailing lists I've tweaked certain things like
 disabling firewall,  enabling DEP, etc. Still the same result.

 Only one way I could make the NSClient to respond is,  running it in
 Command line with -test option.

 c:\NSClient++NSClient++.exe -test

 When I run this, I'm getting the CHECKS GREEN..

 [r...@nagios libexec]# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nt -H 192.168.0.119
 -p 12489 -v MEMUSE  -w 80 -c 90
 Memory usage: total:4308.71 Mb - used: 1606.41 Mb (37%) - free: 2702.30 Mb
 (63%) | 'Memory usage'=1606.41Mb;3446.97;3877.84;0.00;4308.71

 Everytime I reboot the machine. I need to start this in command line.  Any
 solution, inputs ?   Please provide...

 Thanks.

Re: [Nagios-users] Centreon

2009-04-09 Thread Simon Finch

Chris,

Centreon is a very powerful addition to Nagios, so good that I have managed to 
replace a large enterprise deployment of IBM Tivoli monitoring with Nagios, but 
only by using Centreon, Nagios by itself wouldn't have stood a chance.

I started using it from version 2.0 beta 4 and the doco was terrible or non 
existent. I am currently using version 2.1 and the doco is still non existent, 
but the wiki / forum support more than makes up for it. If you compiled Nagios, 
nrpe, ndo and got it all working then you could easily get Centreon working.

I work in IT for a moderately large bank in Australia who has recently been 
taken over by a larger bank. The new IT top dog is an American who used to run 
IT for a huge US aircraft manufacturer, he was impressed by what he saw in our 
NOC / war room. It was Nagios3 front ended by Centreon with management eye 
candy provided by NagVis, so I truly believe it when I say it's worth the 
effort because I am in the middle of doing it.

If you want more details the feel free to ask as I found a number of traps in 
the beginning, eg, I don't recommend Redhat RHEL5 for the main server that runs 
Centreon, I switched to Ubuntu 8.04 , but I still use Redhat RHEL4  5 for the 
remote satellite Nagios servers.

Rgds,
Simon
