Re: [Nagios-users] Connection refused
It may well be correct, but is a completely different setup! You have an SSH tunnel; that's a rather critical piece of information. You have an SSH tunnel from the Windows machine to somewhere else, instead of having an NSClient++. Maybe you meant to do a remote port forwarding and instead set up local port forwarding.

[Nagios-users] Nagios Monitor Server, and NRPE clients, giving funny results
Dear All, I'm trying to get my Nagios instance to behave properly! It seems to be monitoring my servers just fine, but for some reason, all my servers, which are different from each other show the same swap space, and the same free disk space to within 10 megs. Now the above tells me that there is a config error somewhere. In order to test this, I log into my monitor server, and issue the following command; ./Check_nrpe -H client_ip -c check_disk 50 80 My understanding tells me that the following happens * The check_nrpe plugin on the nagios monitor server runs, and accesses the client at client_ip * It initiates its local check_disk plugin with the parameters of 50 and 80. * This causes the check_disk plugin on the client to run, as if typed locally in this manner check_disk -w 50 -c 80 Running check_disk 50 80 on client_ip returns data on the disk state Running ./Check_nrpe -H client_ip -c check_disk 50 80 on Nagios monitor server returns unknown argument I cannot figure out what is causing this discrepancy - check_nrpe -H client_ip returns Nagios version so I know the communication works.

Re: [Nagios-users] The icinga on the cake ...
Hi all. First of all, let me say I'm not writing this post for Ethan's sake, but because I'm a member of the Nagios Community Advisory board and I feel this is information the community should take part of. Secondly, Ethan's under quite a bit of stress right now. If anybody wants to cheer him up, send him a postcard or a picture of a screen showing Nagios. He told me once it would be quite cool to get such postcards but he never found an opportunity to ask for it. I can't think of a better time than now ;-) The address to Nagios Enterprises is Nagios Enterprises, LLC P.O. Box 8154 Saint Paul, MN 55108 Now read on and, in the words of The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy: Don't panic. Jim Avery wrote: I'm surprised nobody's mentioned this yet... http://www.icinga.org/ I only noticed it myself when I visited Nagios Exchange today. Not being a developer myself, I'm not quite sure what to say or think, It's really the input from the community that matters the most. I *am* a developer, and as a developer I applaud the effort to create a better product, but as a human being I really don't like the way it's being done. It's been discussed quite a lot on the nagios-devel mailing list. The facts so far seems to be thus: * Netways registered Nagios as a trademark in Germany last year. * The Icinga team is managed by Bernd Erk, who is also the chief programmer of Netways (to me, this makes it seem as if Netways instigated the fork). * Ethan has been absent from the community for too long, stating legal issues against Netways for trademark violation as the reason for this. * The primary reason stated for the fork is that the Icinga team feel that development isn't being done openly enough. * Some german nagios-tribute sites claim to have received email from Nagios Enterprises requesting that they add a paragraph on their page stating that they're not affiliated with Nagios Enterprises in any way, and this has caused bad blood in the community (I have no details about this, and can therefore not give any). * The icinga team has released no sources (ie, making a *worse* mistake than they feel Ethan is doing, who at least keeps his source repo publically available). * The roadmap for Icinga focuses mainly on 3rd party addons that could easily have been created *without* forking. * Some prominent developers and community members (no, I won't give names, but I'm one of them) think this is primarily an attempt from Netways to usurp the Nagios community. * The german community developers that have responded on the nagios-devel list seem honest about their desire to create a better product. * The development method of the Nagios core *will* change in some way. More on that later in this mail. Later, it appears, is now. So far, we (we being originally me and Ethan, and two emails later the community advisory board, which presently consists of Ethan, myself, Ton Voon, Alex Burger and Thomas Guyot-Sionnest) have discussed (nothing is decided) increasing the number of people with commit access to the nagios core repository. I have been asked to join this team, and I've suggested two others whom I feel can add value to the development process. I won't name any names since neither have accepted or declined yet. Me and Ton Voon argued that it would be a good idea to have all tecnical and socio-technical (ie, patch-submission alternatives) on nagios-devel instead of on a hidden list where a large part of the community have no insight into the development process. Ethan hasn't responded to this yet, but that's not so surprising as it was 2AM in Minnesota when me and Ton wrote our emails, and it's currently 5AM (I think). From what I've gathered from the discussions, it seems we agree on incorporating Icinga patches into Nagios if they hold good quality and add value to Nagios. Since many of the developers on the Icinga team are quite good programmers, this should benefit Nagios rather quickly. To make it easier to incorporate patches from the Icinga team, we have also discussed moving the core Nagios repository to git from CVS. Read- only users won't necessarily see any changes at all, as there already exists a cvs-server capable of serving git repositories. For tarball users and software distributions, it has zero impact. Anything apart from the above that's been going on is either loose speculation, bad research or misunderstanding on my behalf or relates to information I haven't seen. I may also have missed something, in which case I'm sure someone will point out my mistakes. except that I'm continuously deeply grateful to everyone who bring us Nagios itself, and the plugins and tools which make it greater than the sum of its parts. Don't be. Well, be, but reserve some gratitude for yourself for using it. Without a userbase, a project is just an academic exercise with as much real value as a bucket of sand in a desert.

If this is the case, then I think I found where the guy I replaced made a mistake! I think you may not fully understand how NRPE works - check_nrpe just tells a client to run a predefined check. In your scenario, with a typical NRPE setup, there would be a check on the Nagios server : define command { command_namecheck_remote_disk command_line$USER1$/check_nrpe2 -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -c check_disk -a $ARG1$ $ARG2$ } And a corresponding entry in the client nrpe.cfg: command[check_disk]= /usr/local/libexec/nagios/check_disk -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$ Now to actually make it check: define service{ host_name server.example.com service_description Disk Space Check use generic-service check_command check_remote_disk!50!80 } On the Nagios host, this check is expanded to `check_nrpe2 -H server.example.com -c check_disk -a 50 80`, which is seen by the NRPE daemon, and exanded to `/usr/local/libexec/nagios/check_disk -w 50 -c 80`. Even if you can't pass arguments to the client NRPE because of policy or security reasons, you can still pass arguments on to the client-local check scripts with a few minor changes. On Nagios: define command { command_namecheck_remote_disk command_line$USER1$/check_nrpe2 -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -c check_disk_default } define service{ host_name server.example.com service_description foo.txt file age use generic-service check_command check_remote_disk } And finally on the client nrpe.cfg: command[check_disk_default]= /usr/local/libexec/nagios/check_disk -w 50 -c 80 The only real tradeoffs to doing it this way are relating to templating and configuration centralization, so the hit is restricted to management overhead. -- Sean McAfee System Engineer -- The NEW KODAK i700 Series Scanners deliver under ANY circumstances!

[Nagios-users] Remote Acknowledge
Hi Group I'm trying to find a way of letting our users acknowledge their own servers faults without the need to log in to Nagios, I have seen that there are remote commands you can issue which allow this to happen, but this is where I need a little instruction on how to use them. http://www.nagios.org/developerinfo/externalcommands/commandinfo.php?command_id=39 In the Nagios book I have been reading it mention's the use of Ticket Systems and making sure that Nagios can integrate with them and when I goggled the question the one of the results I got was OTRS.

I followed the Quick Start guide for Ubuntu, and everything went swimmingly, installing Nagios, the Plug-ins, Apache, et al. Nagios started up and monitored itself, and following the quick-starts for Linux and Windows, I've been able to get it to monitor all my hosts. So I'm now trying to get it to monitor a Cisco ASA 5510 VPN. On the ASA, I enabled SNMP, and pointed it to the Nagios machine for reporting. On the Nagios box, I copied up the switch.cfg, changed the IP address and hostname, etc, following the instructions: http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/monitoring-routers.html Restarting, I see these errors such as this. Posting the error, then the corresponding portion of the switch.cfg: Inside Interface CRITICAL 05-07-2009 16:54:07 0d 2h 53m 31s 3/3 (Return code of 127 is out of bounds - plugin may be missing) --- define service{ use generic-service ; Inherit values from a template host_name CCLogan-ASA5510-1 service_description Inside Interface check_command check_snmp!-C public -o ifOperStatus.INSIDE -r 1 -m RFC1213-MIB } --- I changed ifOperStatus.INSIDE from ifOperStatus.1 because an snmpwalk on the device said that's what this port name was, but I can change it back. But googling the error (Return code of 127 ...) seems to indicate I'm missing net-snmp or net-snmp-util, but I'm not sure how to install them -- can't do a rpm -qa on Ubuntu, and I don't know what the corresponding command is with apt-get. But searching the Ubuntu repositories, I can' find an equivalent to net-snmp-util, so I think that's the problem. Snmpwalk works though, so I figure I have something half-working...

I'm not 100% sure if this will give you everything you are asking for though. Cheers, Jim -- Ok , but IPMI is a standard while OpenManage is just for Dell Servers That's true and in an ideal world I agree, but often you will find that the tool provided specifically by the manufacturer to monitor the hardware which they designed will give you more detail than the open more general-purpose one. That's not alway the case though of course, sometimes the manufacturer's tools are a pile of junk! Me, I use whatever will get the job done. I inherited some servers which already had OpenManage installed so I used it. Cheers, Jim -- The NEW KODAK i700 Series Scanners deliver under ANY circumstances!

Re: [Nagios-users] check_http -s
HTTP reply 200 means that the webserver found the page you requested . if you want to get an ERROR you should either point to a non existing page , which will give you the 404 error , in the example you provide it seem you are trying to submit some string to the jsp and expecting it to return an error , but you are not submitting any string .

[Nagios-users] check_by_ssh error: Remote command execution failed: You don't exist, go away!
I'm not finding much current documentation on check_by_ssh -- does it work? I have set up the nagios account with /bin/sh as its shell on 2 Linux Nagios servers and several clients (RHEL/SuSE/Sol10).

I'll answer you in English so that anybody in the list can understand and participate in this subject. I think that if you don't know exactly which parameter to monitor you should browse the whole OID list that you receive when you do a snmpwalk on your switch, and identify the ones that fit your needs, with the help of the website I said yesterday, or any other OIDs reference. My case: The only thing I want to detect is if there is any damaged port in any of my switches. So what I did was to snmpwalk on a switch which I positively knew that had its port #2 damaged, and discover which OID was significantly different for this port. And the one I found is: iso.3.6.1.2.1.10.7.2.1.7 (maybe you can find it as its equivalent: SNMPv2-SMI::mib-2.10.7.2.1.7) defined as: a count of frames for which the first transmission attempt on a particular interface is delayed because the medium is busy. The thing is that it's the only OID I found that gave a very high value for port #2 (about 65,000 or so) and 0 for the rest of ports that work properly. The command I defined for this was like this: define command { command_name check_port command_line $USER1$/check_snmp -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C password -O iso.3.6.1.2.1.10.7.2.1.7.$ARG1$ -w 1 -c 10 -u retries } For sure there must be somebody else in the list who can give to you a more detailed or a more formally correct answer...

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?

[Nagios-users] check_by_ssh problem
In order to monitor the remote linux server we are using check_by_ssh as root. I know it is not advisable to use it as root , but we are in a transition to NRPE slowly which uses nagios. Here's what i did : 1) As root copied the id_rsa.pub to the remote server's root user's .ssh directory and pasted it to the authorized_keys . 2) Then did ssh remote server ip and was able to login without password. 3) Then excecuted the check command remotely: check_by_ssh -t 30 -l root -H remote server ip -C /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_load -w10,15,20 -c15,20,25 OK - load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00|load1=0.00;10.00;15.00;0.00 load5=0.00;15.00;20.00;0.00 load15=0.00;20.00;25.00;0.00 check_by_ssh -t 30 -l root -H remote server ip -C /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_uptime UPTIME OK - System up for 6 HOUR(s) and 38 Minute(s) Looks perfectly fine!!!

It seems to be monitoring my servers just fine, but for some reason, all my servers, which are different from each other show the same swap space, and the same free disk space to within 10 megs. This tells me that you're most likely not monitoring those through NRPE on the remote machines. I suspect that this is the value for your nagios machine. Config examples would help clarify. ./Check_nrpe -H client_ip -c check_disk 50 80 My understanding tells me that the following happens * The check_nrpe plugin on the nagios monitor server runs, and accesses the client at client_ip Correct. * It initiates its local check_disk plugin with the parameters of 50 and 80. Incorrect. check_nrpe does not pass arguments to the remote NRPE daemon unless -- - it was compiled with the --enable-command-args flag - dont_blame_nrpe is set in nrpe.cfg - you pass them with the -a switch to check_nrpe - See the SECURITY document for NRPE for documentation and examples. * This causes the check_disk plugin on the client to run, as if typed locally in this manner check_disk -w 50 -c 80 No, but you may specify those arguments in the command definition in nrpe.cfg instead of trying to pass them via check_nrpe. Running check_disk 50 80 on client_ip returns data on the disk state Running ./Check_nrpe -H client_ip -c check_disk 50 80 on Nagios monitor server returns unknown argument I cannot figure out what is causing this discrepancy - check_nrpe -H client_ip returns Nagios version so I know the communication works. I expect you see now that the '50 80' is being interpreted as an argument to check_nrpe itself, not check_disk, hence the 'unknown argument' error. If they're static numbers, you're probably fine just specifying them in each host's nrpe.cfg file. -- Marc -- The NEW KODAK i700 Series Scanners deliver under ANY circumstances!

Re: [Nagios-users] check_snmp - warning numbers
1. Make sure snmpd is running on the host. (classic mistake) 2. Make sure your community string and/or credentials are the same on the host and client. 3. Make sure you're using the same snmp version on client and server (v1, v2c, or v3) 4. Try running a tcpdump on the host while you're attempting the snmpwalk to verify that the snmp requests are reaching the host. At the same time verify that the host is trying to send out responses. # tcpdump udp port 161 I'm sure there are more tests you can do but this is a start. -f On Fri, 8 May 2009, Matias Blanco wrote: Date: Fri, 8 May 2009 13:02:28 -0300 From: Matias Blanco mat...@valastro.com.ar To: 'Alejandro S?nchez Mero?o' alejandro.sanc...@ite.es, Nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] check_snmp - warning numbers Hello, When i made an snmpwalk to a ip computer there is no response.

I'll answer you in English so that anybody in the list can understand and participate in this subject. I think that if you don't know exactly which parameter to monitor you should browse the whole OID list that you receive when you do a snmpwalk on your switch, and identify the ones that fit your needs, with the help of the website I said yesterday, or any other OIDs reference. My case: The only thing I want to detect is if there is any damaged port in any of my switches. So what I did was to snmpwalk on a switch which I positively knew that had its port #2 damaged, and discover which OID was significantly different for this port. And the one I found is: iso.3.6.1.2.1.10.7.2.1.7 (maybe you can find it as its equivalent: SNMPv2-SMI::mib-2.10.7.2.1.7) defined as: a count of frames for which the first transmission attempt on a particular interface is delayed because the medium is busy. The thing is that it's the only OID I found that gave a very high value for port #2 (about 65,000 or so) and 0 for the rest of ports that work properly. The command I defined for this was like this: define command { command_name check_port command_line $USER1$/check_snmp -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C password -O iso.3.6.1.2.1.10.7.2.1.7.$ARG1$ -w 1 -c 10 -u retries } For sure there must be somebody else in the list who can give to you a more detailed or a more formally correct answer...

Re: [Nagios-users] The icinga on the cake ...
Not being a developer myself, I'm not quite sure what to say or think, except that I'm continuously deeply grateful to everyone who bring us Nagios itself, and the plugins and tools which make it greater than the sum of its parts. This is, IMHO, one of the greatest problems with open source development. Too much bickering, splintering and forking dilutes the value of the product. It's unfortunate that the main nagios devs and these icinga people could not work together to simply improve the existing code base. There are a lot of great features that could be added to nagios, yet it feels like development on some of these major features has been very slw. Ethan, if you're reading this, cheer up mate.

Nope, not social, although if I don't get it fixed soon (or find another solution) it might become a social problem :-) I didn't post it here because I thought some might get annoyed with me cluttering the list with non-nagios problems, but here goes. Thanks to a recent company acquisition made by my company (Frontier Flying), we are now dealing with two separate networks (they will eventually be combined, but that's a ways off still). The company we bought (Era aviation) uses a piece of software called Sabre for their flight reservations, which contacts a central server to which their network has a direct connection. The Sabre server itself is on a third network, but there are a couple of routers that link the two (Sabre and Era) across a private network, so asside from a couple of routing and NAT statements they are effectively on the same network. In order to be able to run Sabre on our network, we established a VPN tunnel between our network and Era's. As far as I can tell, the VPN is functioning. I can ping computers on the Era network, including the Sabre server, and can access and control various computers on the Era network. For initial testing purposes we installed the sabre software (windows only) inside a parallels installation on one of our Mac laptops. This worked perfectly. So far so good. Until we tried installing the software on one of our Windows desktops. Then the problems started. The Sabre software would make the initial connection and log in the user, but when it tried to download the initial info it needs, it just timed out. Every time. Meanwhile, the laptop, which was connected through the same dumb switch, continued to work perfectly. Every time. We took the Windows machine off our network and put it on Era's (different location, obviously) and it started working. Put it back on ours, timeout. Since then we have tried installing Sabre on a number of different computers on our network. A second Mac laptop running parallels works fine, while a mac desktop with an identical install of parallels doesn't. We have managed get one Windows machine running the software on our network, while a stack of four windows machines that Era sent us which had been working on their network just fine don't work. On one hand it seems impossible that it could be an issue with the network, because you would expect that to affect all computers equally, not the hit-and miss (but mostly miss) scenario that we are facing. On the other hand, it can't be a problem with the individual computer, because the same computer with the exact same configuration (including network settings - DHCP) works fine on the Era network, but stops working when moved to ours. We thought maybe it was a DNS problem (since obviously DHCP on our network would give different DNS servers than DHCP on Era's network), so we tried putting the Era DNS servers in statically, but while it worked as far as DNS went (we still got name resolution) that didn't help with Sabre. We are going bald here tearing our hair out trying to figure out what could be causing this issue. Sabre technical support is no help - they just say it's our problem. Management is coming down on us pretty hard to get something working here, so any help anyone can provide would be GREATLY appreciated :-).

I had a similar problem with a VPN from home to work a while ago. After lots of googling I found the home router I was using had some problem with packet reassembly (whatever that is) which was fixed by upgrading to the latest firmware. It was a bit strange because when I wasn't using the VPN to work (just using normal internet) the router seemed to work flawlessly. It was only when I was connected to the work network over SecuRemote that the problem reared its ugly head. Once I'd upgraded the firmware, it was fine ... ... then I replaced the router with a wireless one from a different manufacturer and even when I connected wired the problem was back again! Served me right for buying a cheapo one. Not sure if that will help you at all though :-( Jim -- The NEW KODAK i700 Series Scanners deliver under ANY circumstances!

Thanks to a recent company acquisition made by my company (Frontier Flying), we are now dealing with two separate networks (they will eventually be combined, but that's a ways off still). The company we bought (Era aviation) uses a piece of software called Sabre for their flight reservations, which contacts a central server to which their network has a direct connection. The Sabre server itself is on a third network, but there are a couple of routers that link the two (Sabre and Era) across a private network, so asside from a couple of routing and NAT statements they are effectively on the same network. In order to be able to run Sabre on our network, we established a VPN tunnel between our network and Era's. As far as I can tell, the VPN is functioning. I can ping computers on the Era network, including the Sabre server, and can access and control various computers on the Era network. For initial testing purposes we installed the sabre software (windows only) inside a parallels installation on one of our Mac laptops. This worked perfectly. So far so good. Until we tried installing the software on one of our Windows desktops. Then the problems started. The Sabre software would make the initial connection and log in the user, but when it tried to download the initial info it needs, it just timed out. Every time. Meanwhile, the laptop, which was connected through the same dumb switch, continued to work perfectly. Every time. We took the Windows machine off our network and put it on Era's (different location, obviously) and it started working. Put it back on ours, timeout. Since then we have tried installing Sabre on a number of different computers on our network. A second Mac laptop running parallels works fine, while a mac desktop with an identical install of parallels doesn't. We have managed get one Windows machine running the software on our network, while a stack of four windows machines that Era sent us which had been working on their network just fine don't work. On one hand it seems impossible that it could be an issue with the network, because you would expect that to affect all computers equally, not the hit-and miss (but mostly miss) scenario that we are facing. On the other hand, it can't be a problem with the individual computer, because the same computer with the exact same configuration (including network settings - DHCP) works fine on the Era network, but stops working when moved to ours. We thought maybe it was a DNS problem (since obviously DHCP on our network would give different DNS servers than DHCP on Era's network), so we tried putting the Era DNS servers in statically, but while it worked as far as DNS went (we still got name resolution) that didn't help with Sabre.

It's difficult to give any hints -- it seems you should try to solve this as methodically as possible, e.g. with root cause analysis or some other troubleshooting method. At least, try to record what is working and what is not working in some kind of matrix. Maybe some trend comes out. For example, you mention that Sabre works inside a VM on Mac; how about in a VM on Windows? Maybe some network sniffing could be useful also. What TCP/UDP ports are used with the software. What kind of VPN you
Re: [Nagios-users] [OT] Network help?
Hi, sounds like classic MTU issues to me. Path MTU discovery is broken due to firewalls blocking ICMP and the VPN overhead is introduced, things break in very strange ways. Take one of the windows machines while connected to the non-working network and lower it's MTU, reload and test again: http://www.pctools.com/guides/registry/detail/280/ You can also try this theory out by varying the size of the ping packet you test with. See if your ping breaks at a certain MTU. Get some wireshark packet captures of a session too, this may point you in the right direction. -Robin On 5/8/09 6:38 PM, Israel Brewster isr...@frontierflying.com wrote: On May 8, 2009, at 1:40 PM, Jim Avery wrote: 2009/5/8 Israel Brewster isr...@frontierflying.com: I apologize for the off-topic post, but I figure the people here tend to be involved with networking, so perhaps someone can direct me to the right place to post a question about some networking problems I am having.

First result for 'nagios failure prediction' on Google: http://www.google.com/search?btnI=q=nagios+failure+prediction And it appears that first result has not been updated since 2002. Is the failure detection feature just a vestigial organ that never finished developing? As far as I can see, the failure_prediction_enabled flag does absolutely nothing right now. I can certainly imagine a reason for this. Failure prediction is *hard*. To get it right, you need to take into account 1. The current check thresholds (currently specified as arguments to Nagios plugins, so Nagios core knows nothing about them) 2. The average delta between several checks over a possibly *very* long period of time. 3. The number of times the potential problem is being taken care of before it becomes a problem, and how this affects the average delta. 4. Artificial intelligence to learn about previous problems in other areas of the network that could, potentially, lead to problems with the monitored host. /Andreas DISCLAIMER: I wrote this email very, very late on a friday evening, after having drunk several glasses of wine in very pleasant company.

Re: [Nagios-users] The icinga on the cake ...
Sean Carolan wrote: Not being a developer myself, I'm not quite sure what to say or think, except that I'm continuously deeply grateful to everyone who bring us Nagios itself, and the plugins and tools which make it greater than the sum of its parts. This is, IMHO, one of the greatest problems with open source development. Too much bickering, splintering and forking dilutes the value of the product. Personally, I think you're wrong. GCC (one of the most portable and portability-friendly compiler collections in the world) suffered a big fat fork in 1997, and it ended up being extremely good for the project. The X windowing system *remains* forked into at least 4 different schisms. Right now, it looks as if X.org is winning. A few years ago, everyone used XFree86. It's unfortunate that the main nagios devs and these icinga people could not work together to simply improve the existing code base. There are a lot of great features that could be added to nagios, yet it feels like development on some of these major features has been very slw. True. That's a major complaint of the forkees too. The majorest (err..) is that development hasn't been open enough though. Ethan and some other prominent community members are working on fixing that. I'm guessing info regarding that will be publicly available on monday afternoon, European time. Ethan, if you're reading this, cheer up mate. You are sitting on a virtual gold mine. Nagios is hands-down the best network monitoring system available, you should be minting money selling support contracts for it. If you aren't then hire some good salespeople to sell your support contracts and maybe a find good web developer to give the GUI an upgrade! I agree about the GUI. Rumor has it that discussions are under way to solve that too very shortly. Ethan will send something out very early next week (not he may do so or I hope he will do so; He *will* do so, or I'll go to minnesota and thump him on the head). The email he'll send out will contain, among other things, his future plans to make Nagios development move along faster. Possibly, there'll be something about GUI discussions in there as well. It's friday night here (2:32 AM), and I really don't know everything. This time, I feel confident that noone will be disappointed when I say: Just wait and see.

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios 3 ACK author
If your accounts are in LDAP you can do some scripting to sync between LDAP and Nagios. Since it seems you more care about individual usernames but not strong security, you can just make the password the same for each account when you create the HTTP AUTh account on the Nagios poller. Either that or you can use the same philosophy, script to sync Nagios user accounts from LDAP queries, and then use one of the Apache LDAP authentication modules to authenticate the user so they use their real password to authenticate. - Max -- The NEW KODAK i700 Series Scanners deliver under ANY circumstances!
