Re: [Nagios-users] Im confused about scheduled downtime and notifications

[Jim Avery]

2009/5/5 Frater, Greg J gjfra...@bechtel.com:
 Hi All,

 We've just migrated from Nagios 1 to 3.0.6.  I have a host that was in
 scheduled downtime and turned off.  I turned it back on, while still in
 scheduled downtime, and got a HOST UP alert for it.  Is this expected
 behavior?  Could I have a misconfiguration somewhere, where should I look?
 Has anyone else seen this?

I've occasionally seen notifications for hosts in scheduled downtime,
but only in the few seconds after restarting the Nagios daemon.  I
don't think it's expected behaviour, no.

I've not bothered to find a fix for it, as it happens only rarely and
so long as I don't restart the daemon at three in the morning, it
won't bother anyone.

Cheers,

Jim

Re: [Nagios-users] Hosts with dynamic IP addresses

[Jim Avery]

2009/5/5 Ken Tang kent...@berkeley.edu:
 I'd like to monitor a few user laptops in our environment.  They use
 wireless so they often get dynamic IP addresses.  Is there a way that
 Nagios can accept any connections, or, a range of addresses for a host?
 I don't have control of the DHCP server so I cannot assign a fixed IP
 address.

I would have the laptops send passive checks back to Nagios.  You can
use nsca if you have your own plugins or use NSClient++ which is also
capable of sending results to Nagios via nsca.

hth,

There is no way nagios can accept a range of ip-addresses for a host,
since it wouldn't know which of the presumably multiple hosts in the
range is responding to what.

Since you don't have control over the DHCP server, following Jim Avery's
advice and letting the laptops send passive check-results to your nagios
server is definitely the best solution.

Re: [Nagios-users] Hosts with dynamic IP addresses

[Kevin Keane]

Does your network use dynamic DNS by any chance? If you do, you could 
use the laptop's DNS name rather than its IP address.

You may also be able to use a script that enumerates all the machines in 
the network. On Windows, look into the commands net view /Domain: 
and nbtstat -c as some starting points (Samba also has similar commands)

[Nagios-users] Identical weird data returned by NRPE on eight different hosts?

[Gabriel - IP Guys]

Dear All,

I have the following configuration for my hosts, but for some reason, my
hosts are all reporting the same data, even though I'm using NRPE. For
example, swap data, is exactly the same for each host. I have included a
link to a CFG file that I am using, can someone have a look, and make
sure that I've not screwed anything up? :) Thank you

 Hi again...

 Sorry to bother all but surely someone has wanted to get the tactical display

Yes indeed!

 Has anyone managed to get this to work?

I haven't.  Although the Nagios Checker plugin for Firefox can do
this.  http://code.google.com/p/nagioschecker/

[Nagios-users] NDO Utils Error Support for the specified database server is either not yet supported

[BipinDas-Gmail]

Hello Everybody

 

I have setup nagios for the Datacentre. Now I need to setup NDO for database
logging. Setup everything according to the DOC.

I got an error when I tried to start the daemon using à
/usr/local/nagios/bin/ndo2db-3x -c /usr/local/nagios/etc/ndo2db.cfg.

 

“Support for the specified database server is either not yet supported, or
was not found on your system.”

 

What went wrong ? I have followed the official NDO documentation.

Thanks in advance

Re: [Nagios-users] checking host alive or service ping check

[Jim Avery]

2009/5/6 Felipe Ferreira fferre...@osiatis.es:
 Hello all,
 What is the difference between checking a host is alive with a check in
 the host template (check_command check-host-alive), witch I have defined
 as a PING.
 And creating a ping service applied to the host ? I did a test with both
 configurations, and didn't see a different behavior.
 The only big advantage I have with the Ping is the graphics witch I
 really need, so I am wondering if I could disable host-alive check, and
 make it depend on the ping service check? BTW I use centreon.

 cheers,
 www.felipeferreira.net

Host checks (especially for routers, switches, and other network
nodes) are important in determining reachability.  See
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/networkreachability.html

If you have no other active checks for that node, then I would
normally recommend configuring ping as both host and service check, as
it just makes it easier to see what's going on in the Nagios cgis.  If
you are already actively monitoring other services (for example FTP)
on the host, then personally I wouldn't bother having ping as a
service check too (I'd just use ping for the host check).

You might want to use different parameters for the host check ping,
for example if you want the host check to send more pings with a
longer timeout than the service checks to make absolutely sure the
host is really 'down'.  On the other hand, you might want to make your
host checks really simple and quick so that Nagios doesn't get bogged
down doing host checks if you have a major network outage affecting a
lot of hosts.

hth,

Jim

yes , i am using this right now. Currently the below service check is done

[Nagios-users] check_icmp and check_host

[Meyer Jerome]

 

Hi

 

I still have many questions about nagios J. 

Yeah, there're many documentations on the Web, but that is not always
obvious to find what I seeks...

 

1)  So, I've create a link for my check_host to check_icmp! But I want
to known what do you think about that, is ok? Or is there a special
plugins for check_host?

2)  Some cgi files doesn't exist under /usr/local/nagios/sbin/ like:
statusmap.cgi, trends.cgi and histogram.cgi! why and where could I find
this files?

3)  I want to have some graphs for by example the availability! Has
someone ideas where I can find documentation about that? It's easy to
implement??? 

 

Thanks 

 

Regards

Sorry, just realizing The reason you don't have statusmap.cgi, trends.cgi 
and histogram.cgi is may be becaus you don't have one of the graphic library 
installed on your server. Check if you have libjpeg-devel, libgd-devel and 
libpng-devel installed on your server (if your running under Debian, it should 
be libjpeg62-dev, libpng12-dev and libgd2-xpm-dev or libgd2-noxpm-dev).

Hi Marc-André

Thanks for your answers!
Here are the installed librairies on my RedHat Server :

# rpm -qa|grep libjpeg
libjpeg-6b-37
libjpeg-6b-37
# rpm -qa|grep libpng
libpng-1.2.10-7.1.el5_3.2
libpng-1.2.10-7.1.el5_3.2
# rpm -qa|grep gd
gd-2.0.33-9.4.el5_1.1

Is Ok??
And here're the procedure :

./configure --with-gd-lib=/usr/lib --with-gd-inc=/usr/include 
--enable-embedded-perl --with-perlcache --prefix=/usr/local/nagios 
--sysconfdir=/etc/nagios --localstatedir=/var/nagios --with-nagios-user=nagios 
--with-nagios-group=/nagios --with-command-group=/nagcmd
make install-init
make install-commandmode
make install-config


Ok, On the left side, there is a column with reporting and availability. Then I 
must to selected Hosts,services, etc... then create availability report the 
results appears in a table with all the value in % but without graphs

Linking check_icmp to check_host is, generally, a Good Thing(tm). I
assume we're talking filesystem links here btw. This is so because
check_icmp does some special magic if it's called by the name
check_host which can tremendously speed things up when services go
haywire but the host is still up and running just fine.

 2)  Some cgi files doesn't exist under /usr/local/nagios/sbin/ like:

make install-cgis

should build and install the cgi's for you.

 3)  I want to have some graphs for by example the availability! Has

It's far from easy to implement, and especially so if you want to get
all the corner-cases right. Fortunately though, there are solutions
ready-made for this, although I don't know how most of them work.

There's one at http://www.op5.org (check under code library, I think)
that's a bit of a challenge to set up unless you're using RPM-based
system, but it's just pure awesome when it's actually up and running.

Re: [Nagios-users] check_icmp and check_host

[Meyer Jerome]

Thanks for your help!

 
  Hi
 
  I still have many questions about nagios J.
  Yeah, there're many documentations on the Web, but that is not
  always obvious to find what I seeks...
 
  1)  So, I've create a link for my check_host to check_icmp! But I
  want to known what do you think about that, is ok? Or is there a
  special plugins for check_host?
 
 You don't need a special plugin. Anything that will return a non-OK
 state when the host is down is fine. A ping/icmp check is most common
 for this purpose and check_icmp will work fine.
 
  2)  Some cgi files doesn't exist under /usr/local/nagios/sbin/ like:
  statusmap.cgi, trends.cgi and histogram.cgi! why and where could I
  find this files?
 
 This is in the FAQ. The GD libs are not installed or were not found at
 compile time. The output of ./configure will likely contain references
 to this as well.

I've installed somes packages : 

# rpm -qa|grep libjpeg
libjpeg-6b-37
libjpeg-6b-37
# rpm -qa|grep libpng
libpng-1.2.10-7.1.el5_3.2
libpng-1.2.10-7.1.el5_3.2
# rpm -qa|grep gd
gd-2.0.33-9.4.el5_1.1

 
  3)  I want to have some graphs for by example the availability!
  Has someone ideas where I can find documentation about that? It's

 Nagios has integrated availability reporting via the Availability menu
 option(s) though I wouldn't necessarily call it a graph. I think what
 you're looking for is the histogram mentioned above...

Do you means that the graphs will be on the Alert Histogram reports??

Re: [Nagios-users] check_icmp and check_host

[jmoseley]

As per Marc, you need the 'devel' packages installed as well.  Did you
install Nagios via RPM or compile from source?  If the latter, I would
suggest you install Nagios from RH's yum repository, thay way, all the
library dependencies will be installed as well.

  Hi
 
 
 
  I still have many questions about nagios J.
 
  Yeah, there're many documentations on the Web, but that is not
always
  obvious to find what I seeks...
 
 
 
  1)  So, I've create a link for my check_host to check_icmp! But I
want
  to known what do you think about that, is ok? Or is there a special
  plugins for check_host?
 
 
 Linking check_icmp to check_host is, generally, a Good Thing(tm). I
 assume we're talking filesystem links here btw. This is so because
 check_icmp does some special magic if it's called by the name
 check_host which can tremendously speed things up when services go
 haywire but the host is still up and running just fine.

Yes, it's a filesystem links!
 
  2)  Some cgi files doesn't exist under /usr/local/nagios/sbin/ like:
  statusmap.cgi, trends.cgi and histogram.cgi! why and where could I
find
  this files?
 
 
 make install-cgis

So, that's was my way :
./configure --with-gd-lib=/usr/lib --with-gd-inc=/usr/include
--enable-embedded-perl --with-perlcache --prefix=/usr/local/nagios
--sysconfdir=/etc/nagios --localstatedir=/var/nagios
--with-nagios-user=nagios --with-nagios-group=/nagios
--with-command-group=/nagcmd 
make install-init 
make install-commandmode 
make install-config

Could I just make install-cgi now, it's not to late

 
 should build and install the cgi's for you.
 
  3)  I want to have some graphs for by example the availability!
Has
  someone ideas where I can find documentation about that? It's easy
to
  implement???
 
 
 It's far from easy to implement, and especially so if you want to get
 all the corner-cases right. Fortunately though, there are solutions
 ready-made for this, although I don't know how most of them work.
 
 There's one at http://www.op5.org (check under code library, I think)
 that's a bit of a challenge to set up unless you're using RPM-based
 system, but it's just pure awesome when it's actually up and running.

Do you means that the aren't graphs by default?

Thanks

[Nagios-users] PNP swap template HOWTO

[Ayotunde Itayemi]

Hi All,
By default I have nothing in the templates directory of my PNP
installation so all my graphs use the Default Template.
I noticed that this inverts the SWAP utilization graph i.e., the red and
yellow lines (warning/critical) are very close to the bottom of the
graph while the utilization shows as almost 100% (close to the top)
instead of very low is it actually is.
I have copied the check_swap.php from the templates.dist directory into
the templates directory, deleted all the existing swap.xml and swap.rrd
files, and restarted the npcd daemon.
I have also tried renaming check_swap.php to swap.php.
I noticed also that all my graphs use the Default Template and the XML
files for all of them have TEMPLATEcheck_nrpe/TEMPLATE. As these
files are generated automatically, how do I get the SWAP graph to use
the SWAP template?
What else do I need to do?
I am using PNP version 0.4.13
Thanks.

[Nagios-users] check_snmp - warning numbers

[Matias Blanco]

Hi, I am using the check_snmp nagios`s plugin. And when we check the
ports status of a 3com Baseline 2250 Plus, we recibe many ports results:

SNMP OK – 0
SNMP WARNING - *1*
SNMP WARNING - *84*
SNMP WARNING - *2*
SNMP WARNING - *2*
SNMP WARNING - *4*

The question is, what´s the meaning of the warning numbers?


Other information:
--

# 'check_snmp' command definition

}

Depends on what you're checking...

[snip]

 Example of service
 ---

 define service {
   use service-15x3x5-switchs
   host_name   3COM2250P
   service_description Port 03 [In Errors]
   check_command   check_snmp!-C public -o ifInErrors.3 -w
 0 -m RFC1213-MIB
   notifications_enabled   0
   }

Assuming the numbers above are related to this service --

 From the RFC1213-MIB --

ifInErrors OBJECT-TYPE
 SYNTAX  Counter
 ACCESS  read-only
 STATUS  mandatory
 DESCRIPTION
 The number of inbound packets that contained
 errors preventing them from being deliverable to a
 higher-layer protocol.
 ::= { ifEntry 14 }

For this example service, the number being returned is the number of  
input errors since last counter reset, roll or device restart for the  
interface with SNMP index 3. Note that this does not necessarily  
correspond to Port 3 thanks to the joys of various SNMP  
implementations and device types. You can identify the specific  
interface that currently has an index of 3 using 'snmpwalk -C public - 
v1 ip of device ifDescr'. You may need to substitute '-v2c' for '- 
v1' if you're using SNMP version 2.

Re: [Nagios-users] check_snmp - warning numbers

[Alejandro Sánchez Meroño]

Hola Matías... :-) and hola everyone...

There exists a magical website where to identify every OID you can check with 
SNMP, the link is: 

http://support.ipmonitor.com/mibs_byoidtree.aspx

For your particular issue, if you type RFC1213-MIB at the Search for: form, 
click the result given (RFC1213-MIB), and then View: Oid-tree, you'll be 
able to locate ifInErrors(14) at the tree shown, and clicking it you'll find 
its Description, which reads literally:

The number of inbound packets that contained errors preventing them from being 
deliverable to a higher-layer protocol.

That's the answer to your question!!

Now some other questions appear...

Wouldn't it be nicer to know what exactly are you monitoring before you monitor 
it, so you could properly interpret the results?

Is that parameter (number of inbound packets that contained errors and blah 
blah blah...) significant enough to determine if a port is working properly or 
not? 

Hope this helps...

Best regards, 

 Alejandro

Re: [Nagios-users] Centreon

[Bruce Reed]

Interesting thread on Centreon. I evaluated it when it was Oreon 4 years ago
and it was horrid then, difficult to install, unpredictable and had very
little English information available. Looks like it has come a long way. Is
the English conversant community as large as the French now?

Has anyone compared Centreon to Groundwork Open Source? We are currently
using the Groundwork community edition and have considered going to the
Professional edition to gain log processing based alerts and dashboards. I
know Centreon has a dashboard, but I don't know if it's static or
customizable and I don't see any indication Centreon has the ability to
monitor and process log information. Groundwork is quite pricey for what
they offer, has its share of bugs, and frankly doesn't present information
as well as Centreon from what I can see in its screenshots. The Groundwork
status/action screens are NOT an improvement over base Nagios.

Re: [Nagios-users] PNP swap template HOWTO

[Jim Avery]

2009/5/6 Ayotunde Itayemi ayotunde.itay...@zain.com:
 I noticed also that all my graphs use the Default Template and the XML
 files for all of them have TEMPLATEcheck_nrpe/TEMPLATE. As these
 files are generated automatically, how do I get the SWAP graph to use
 the SWAP template?

You'll notice that the graph produced by the default template tells
you what check command is being run (in the bottom right hand corner
of the graphic).  This is the name you need to use for your template,
so in your case you will need to name your new template file
check_nrpe.php.

It's not quite as simple as that though, because if you set up a
check_nrpe.php template which makes your swap graphs look lovely, it
might make all the other checks you run using check_nrpe look awful!
You might need to consider setting up a separate command definition in
Nagios just for your swap checks.  Make it the same as check_nrpe but
call it something a little different, for example check_nrpe-swap.
Of course you'll need also to change your swap service definition to
use this command.  You can then rename your check_nrpe.pnp template to
check_nrpe-swap.pnp and it won't mess up all your other nrpe checks.

It's not necessary to remove .rrd or .xml files when you tinker with
the templates - just hit refresh in your browser when viewing the
graphs in PNP to see if the template is working.

[Nagios-users] NSclient++ Performance Counters Help ??

[Mirza Dedic]

Hello,

I am trying to use NSClient++ to monitor performance counters; previously I 
only used it to check disk space etc, but I am trying to make sure of the -v 
COUNTER -l switch more now as it is very powerful.

In my config I have:

define command{
command_name check_nt_exchange_messages_delivered_per_min
command_line $USER1$/check_nt -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -s password -p 12489 -v COUNTER 
-l MSExchangeIS Mailbox(_Total)\\Messages Delivered/min -w 25 -c 120
}

However, when I try to test this from my box with:

./check_nt -H van-mail01 -s xr1p71c -p 12779 -v COUNTER -l  MSExchangeIS 
Mailbox(_Total)\\Messages Delivered/min -w 25 -c 120

I get:

bash: syntax error near unexpected token `('

Also, on Nagios it reports as null; which I would assume is because of the 
above syntax issue.

How can I fix this?

The source I got my counter from is:
http://www.hackmyidea.com/wordpress/2007/11/14/misc-windows-checks-for-nagios/

Also, I noticed in my NSClient++ installation in the windows box (Exchange 
2005/Win2003) there is a counters.defs file, should I be making use of that and 
entering the counters in there as opposed to calling them from commands.cfg ? 
If so, how could I use the ./check_nt to call a performance counter defined in 
counters.defs ? (assuming this is what its for?).

Thanks.

[Nagios-users] check_disk and CD/DVD in Solaris

[Andrew Davis]

I have check_disk setup to do monitor all local disks so that I don't 
have to make edits everytime I add a new filesystem or mount point. 
Unfortunately, on Solaris, mounted CD's and DVD's show as local volumes 
and as 100% full. Unfortunately, check_disk (the stock one) is not a 
simple shell script that I can edit to throw in a grep -v cdrom line. 
I'm curious how you guys are handling this? Do you define all your 
filesystems manually for Solaris hosts? Are you using an alternate test? 
Any suggestions would be much appreciated...

Re: [Nagios-users] PNP swap template HOWTO

[Ayotunde Itayemi]

Hi All/Jim/Marc-Andre,
Thanks for the response. I was actually able to figure it out while waiting - I 
didn't RTFM - not all at first :-)

Here is what I did in case someone else finds it useful (and if possible 
correct me if I am wrong):

# cd /usr/local/nagios/etc/pnp/check_commands
# cp -a check_nwstat.cfg-sample check_nrpe.cfg
# grep CUSTOM_TEMPLATE check_nrpe.cfg
CUSTOM_TEMPLATE = 0,1

# cd /usr/local/nagios/share/pnp
# cp -a templates.dist/check_swap.php templates/check_nrpe_check_dsk_swap.php
# /etc/init.d/npcd restart


Jim: The SWAP graph looks OK and I haven't noticed any changes in the other 
graphs (CPU, RAM, filesystems, PING, etc) - possibly because the check_nrpe 
defaults are the same as in the nwstat.cfg-sample file I created the 
check_nrpe.cfg from, and the check_nrpe_check_dsk_swap.php is only used for the 
SWAP graph while the default check_nrpe settings continues to be used for the 
other graphs?

Marc-Andre: I assume apart from just placing your SWAP template in the 
templates directory, I still need to create the check_nrpe.cfg and 
check_nrpe_check_dsk_swap.php files as I did above? Will try your template in a 
minute ...

Ach! I lost all my SWAP history by deleting the RRDs!

Thanks again.
Regards.

 Hi All,
 By default I have nothing in the templates directory of my PNP
 installation so all my graphs use the Default Template.
 I noticed that this inverts the SWAP utilization graph i.e., the red and
 yellow lines (warning/critical) are very close to the bottom of the
 graph while the utilization shows as almost 100% (close to the top)
 instead of very low is it actually is.
 I have copied the check_swap.php from the templates.dist directory into
 the templates directory, deleted all the existing swap.xml and swap.rrd
 files, and restarted the npcd daemon.
 I have also tried renaming check_swap.php to swap.php.
 I noticed also that all my graphs use the Default Template and the XML
 files for all of them have TEMPLATEcheck_nrpe/TEMPLATE. As these
 files are generated automatically, how do I get the SWAP graph to use
 the SWAP template?
 What else do I need to do?
 I am using PNP version 0.4.13
 Thanks.

I think for some reason you think you have an ordinary double-quote
there but it's been replaced with some strange character which looks
like one but isn't.  I'd delete that section in you configuration file
and re-type it, maybe using a different editor.  If you're using a
word-processor of some sort to edit your config files, it might be
trying to insert left and right double-quotes rather than the
bog-standard ordinary straight-up ones.

Other than that, I can't see a problem with what you've put there
(although you might need another \ or two to escape the backslash -
I don't have my Nagios system to hand so can't check for sure.

Cheers,

Jim

I use check_snmp_storage.pl from http://nagios.manubulon.com/ to
monitor Solaris (and various other) filesystems.  I usually monitor
each filesystem individually but sometimes use the regular expression
matching to bundle similar filesystems together.

I would love to be able automatically to pick up new filesystems as
you say (and it's possible using this plugin), but firstly it would
break the pnp4nagios graphing and secondly our Unix admins frequently
mount filesystems for test restores and suchlike and I really don't
want to be bothered with those.

That's my 2p worth.  There are lots of ways to skin this metaphorical cat.

[Nagios-users] service escalation problems

[Bruce Thayre]

Hello,
I'm not new to nagios, however his is the first nagios installation i 
have done with nagios 3.x.  I've set up several service escalations in 
my services.cfg, they are being recognized and registered with nagios, 
however they are not actually doing anything.  Despite the escalations 
being there, i see each of my services spamming notifications every 30 
minutes.  Is there any additional options i need to enable in Nagios 
3.0.4 to get make the escalations effective.  Or is there any reason 
that when i run nagios -v nagios.cfg and i get this as output:

Nagios 3.0.4

So nagios clearly can see the 973 service escalations, they just don't 
seem to be working.  So it would seem my syntax is correct, so an 
example of one of my service escalations (they're all more or less 
identical for different services):

define serviceescalation{
host_name*,!Rambo, !localhost, !nagios, !t2gw04, !uaf-3
service_descriptioncondor_master_alive
first_notification1
last_notification2

}


define serviceescalation{

last_notification4

}

Any help/input/ridicule would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

Hi! 

On Wed, 06 May 2009, Jim Avery wrote:
 It's not quite as simple as that though, because if you set up
 a check_nrpe.php template which makes your swap graphs look
 lovely, it might make all the other checks you run using
 check_nrpe look awful! You might need to consider setting up a
 separate command definition in Nagios just for your swap
 checks.  Make it the same as check_nrpe but call it something a
 little different, for example check_nrpe-swap. Of course
 you'll need also to change your swap service definition to use
 this command.  You can then rename your check_nrpe.pnp template
 to check_nrpe-swap.pnp and it won't mess up all your other nrpe
 checks.

I did something else: I patched PNP so that it removes the
check_nrpe! prefix if it's there, then does processing as usual.
I've sent this (trival, four-line) patch to the PNP maintainer
but never got an answer :/

It is most useful to me, no doubt. Still I would have expected
that the original author noticed this issue. I suspect 90% of
Nagios users have *way* more usefully graphable NRPE/NSCP/SNMP
checks than plain ones.

Regards,
Tobias

Re: [Nagios-users] service escalation problems

[Bruce Thayre]

Hi,
Thanks for the idea, i gave it a shot and it does not seem to be of any 
help.  I was under the impresion that service escalations were for 
taking the nag out of nagios by curbing its tendency to spam admins with 
notifications for large networks, or for specific services.  More 
specifically, if say i don't address a critical state because it's not 
important to me, i don't want to get hourly notifications.  I want a 
reminder after say three hours, maybe another after another three hours, 
and then i want all subsequent reminders to take longer and longer.  Now 
i set this up last time with nagios 2, and had zero issues.  I'm 
wondering if something has changed in nagios 3, or if there is some 
essential step i'm forgetting/missing.  If this continues not working, 
i'll just have to try host escalations, and see if i can do anything 
with those. 
Thanks,
Bruce

 Hmmm.  I don't know if it's the cause of your problem, and I could be
 completely wrong (sorry can't test because I'm at home) but the
 purpose of an escalation is surely to notify an alternative recipient
 if the first (ordinary) notification fails?  I would think if this
 were so then having first_notification = 1 wouldn't make sense.  I'd
 configure the service itself to send the first notification and only
 use escalations for the 2nd or subsequent notifications.

 Other than that I can't see any particular problem with your syntax.
 I would however try setting the escalation_options directive
 explicitly just in case.

 I don't know if, in the absence of an escalation_option directive the
 notification options would be inherited from the service definition.
 A common problem with those is accidentally to include the n option
 which means send no notifications.

 hth,

 Jim

[Nagios-users] Nagios Service Dependencies

[Dei Bertine]

Basic question guys: 

Which file do you normally place your service dependencies in? 

It stated here: http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/dependencies.html
to place in objects cfg file which I thought placing it in my nagios.cfg

But when I did, it complained about this error after running -v:
Error in configuration file 'nagios.cfg' - Line 2859 (NULL value)


Here's a sample of my definition:
define servicedependency{
   host_name   ciscoasa-router
   service_description PING
   dependent_host_name ciscosw-router
   dependent_service_description   PING
   execution_failure_criteria  o
   notification_failure_criteria   w,u
   }

Please advise. 

Thank you! 
DB

Re: [Nagios-users] Centreon

[Simon Finch]

Hi Chris,

First does the file /etc/centreon/conf.pm exist ?
It should have the database hostname, dbname, dbuser and dbpassword in it.

Who owns the /var/lib/centreon directory structure ?
The apache user that centreon runs as needs full rights to this directory and the directories below it.

These dirs should have been created by the centreon install, what version on centreon did you install and did the install run smoothly ?

Thanks,
Simon
