Re: [Nagios-users] newbie question...
So there is no way of getting just the host down alert when a host goes down ? To explain a little, lets say I'm monitoring CPU, memory and disk space on a host. The host goes down and Nagios sends an alert by email for the host down event and also for the CPU, memory and disk space events. All I need to know about this event is that the host is down. Just think that it's not neccessary to send an alert email about services on a host that is down. /Arnar Marc Powell m...@ena.com 05/31/2009 03:53 PM To Nick Hasser nick.has...@gmail.com cc nagios-user Mailinglist nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject Re: [Nagios-users] newbie question...

Regarding the host defination I have already posted it in my previous post. What you posted originally was not a host definition but rather a host _template_. The difference is critical and you even explain it in ALL CAPS above. The 'register 0' means that nagios isn't supposed to treat it as a host to check but rather as something that will be referenced in a subsequent host definition with a 'use' statement. Find where you 'use serverA' and look at that definition. If contact_groups is defined there, what's used in the template doesn't matter. It is working now. I have to put the group in the define service section also. Thanks There is a noticeable line like contact_groups admins,others; Notifications get sent to the admins by default ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^^ This wouldn't matter if the actual host definition overrides it. That's what I'm trying to determine. is there anything which prevents my non admin group ?

[Nagios-users] Host dependencies not being picked up...
The bulk of my systems are behind one of three switches. I just went
through my hosts.cfg file and added the parents line and appropriate
switch name for each, but the host dependencies aren't showing up. I do
use a host template for most of the servers and then other specifics.
Below is a sample of what's defined. Initially I thought the issue was
the Nagios server being in the same switch as one of the switches, but
the last entry below shows a switch defined as a parent and the Nagios
server is not behind the switch (Nagios is behind flscrb234srvsw5, the
last host is behind flscrb234srvsw6). The VLAN is the same for all the
hosts in the three switches... all hosts operate on 10.1.1.x/16 or
10.1.80.x/16 which is all a single VLAN. I'd appreciate any thoughts on
why it might not be working:

I see what Marc's saying... he's telling you this shouldn't be. Nagios was built to check first that the host is up and reachable, and if its not to notify you the host is down, but to not ALERT you about all host-dependent tests that are now failing. Nagios will still try all tests and fail on them and the web interface will reflect more than just the HOST DOWN, but the only email/SMS you get should be for the HOST DOWN. However, you may need to clarify what you mean by *down*. *Down* does not always mean off or 100% non-responsive. In the case of *nix systems I've seen quite a few times where a server will hang, fail, or segfault but still be reachable over the network. The reason is that parts of the OS are in memory and things like pings from remote hosts still respond, even though the overall functionality of the host itself is down (ISP's get this a lot: host pings, but you can't ssh in, for example). If Nagios can ping the host, it will then try the other tests and alert on them. Here's a quick way to narrow this down: turn off the server (shut down and pull power). The Nagios web interface should show the host down and all tests as failing, but the only email/SMS you should get is the host down. If you still get emailed/alerted then you might have a configuration error. Perhaps you didn't properly define your host checks as opposed to service checks? Do you have a check_ping or check_icmp host check for each host?

Re: [Nagios-users] Host dependencies not being picked up...
Double-checking the docs I think I just realized this...
If I understand this right, the parents option is used for Nagios
itself (prehaps better re-worded as internally) to define the network
topology for the core host check. If the switch is down, it won't mark a
host as Down, only as Unreachable.
For a host dependency, I have to define something like this:
define hostdependency{
host_nameHost A
dependent_host_nameHost C
notification_failure_criteriad
}
define hostdependency{
host_nameHost B
dependent_host_nameHost C
notification_failure_criteriad,u
}
Am I understanding this right?
What gets me is that what Nagios seems to call a parent is, to me
anyway, a network/host dependency. Hosts are dependent on the network
and services are dependent on hosts. I guess I'm missing where a host
dependency would actually be of any value...

Parents and host dependencies are not the same thing. parents is
probably what you want and have configured correctly based on the
information you've provided. Nagios doesn't count them for the summary.

use a host template for most of the servers and then other specifics.
Below is a sample of what's defined. Initially I thought the issue was
the Nagios server being in the same switch as one of the switches, but
the last entry below shows a switch defined as a parent and the Nagios
server is not behind the switch (Nagios is behind flscrb234srvsw5, the
last host is behind flscrb234srvsw6). The VLAN is the same for all the
hosts in the three switches... all hosts operate on 10.1.1.x/16 or
10.1.80.x/16 which is all a single VLAN. I'd appreciate any thoughts on
why it might not be working:
*snip*

*Checking host dependencies...
Checked 0 host dependencies.*
Host dependencies are not generated with the use of the parents
directive. Specifying parents allows you to create a topology for the
status map, and also to allow Nagios to detect a host as being
UNREACHABLE versus DOWN, if they are a child of another host. If you
want host (or service) dependencies, you must create dependency objects:

Host dependencies aren't to be confused with parent/child relationships.
Parent/child relationships are what actually define the network topology.
Host dependencies are just for defining a dependency from host A to
from host B and so on. I'm not sure the usefulness of this, but I'm
sure someone uses it.

Yes, they are very similar... hostdependencies give you more
flexibility about when it's valid and under what conditions though.
Like you, I'm hard-pressed to come up with an example of when it's
actually interesting... I guess the best example I can think of based
on my understanding is if you have your nagios server on a different
LAN than two other servers. Server B is dependent on Server A for
functioning. If ServerA and ServerB are unreachable from nagios, that
may not be a big deal; they could still be providing services locally
just fine. If ServerA is down though, that's a different matter.
*shrug* I could be completely off base on that scenario ;) I don't use
dependencies G

You shouldn't be seeing Duplicate warnings unless the definitions are duplicated. You don't want duplicates and probably have them defined in both your old and new configs, both of which you've told nagios to use (cfg_file in nagios.cfg).

If ServerA and ServerB are unreachable from nagios, that may not be a big deal; they could still be providing services locally just fine. If ServerA is down though, that's a different matter. *shrug* I could be completely off base on that scenario ;) I don't use dependencies G Ahh, yeah I guess that makes sense. I don't use them either, except for a few service dependencies. We have an i5 AS400 here where the services that we're checking are dependent on a login service. If you can't login, you can't check the services, but that doesn't mean that the other services are down. This is the only time I've ever needed to use host/service dependencies. I guess there are specific applications for the need of them. :) Regards, Max -- OpenSolaris 2009.06 is a cutting edge operating system for enterprises looking to deploy the next generation of Solaris that includes the latest innovations from Sun and the OpenSource community.

Re: [Nagios-users] duplicate services definition
In fact, to mantain a good configuration design (using automatic scripts and nice language to users) I want duplicate service names since I'm defing the same service for each host. I just want to know if this will bring me any problem at all. 2009/6/1 Marc Powell m...@ena.com On Jun 1, 2009, at 3:03 PM, Livio Zanol Puppim wrote: Hello! I'm trying to modify how my configuration files are written, and have choosed to make one CFG file per host monitored. The file contain the host itself and all the services monitored on that host. Using this configuration makes nagios3 return a bunch of WARNING messages about Duplicate definition, but works just fine. Are there any problems in using this kind of design? You shouldn't be seeing Duplicate warnings unless the definitions are duplicated. You don't want duplicates and probably have them defined in both your old and new configs, both of which you've told nagios to use (cfg_file in nagios.cfg). Bear in mind that if you're using the cfg_dir directive there, it's recursive and may be catching you as well.. -- Marc -- OpenSolaris 2009.06 is a cutting edge operating system for enterprises looking to deploy the next generation of Solaris that includes the latest innovations from Sun and the OpenSource community.

[Nagios-users] Trouble with check_nrpe+check_hpasm
I am monitoring system named locsys from NAGIOS server named Nagios. I can get check_hpasm to work locally on the system being monitored (locsys) but I am unable to get check_hpasm to work with check_nrpe when monitored through NAGIOS server. Other monitoring commands work fine with check_nrpe with the same combination. Here are some command outputs to provide a better understanding. [r...@locsys ~]# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_hpasm OK - System: 'proliant dl360 g3', S/N: 'xx', ROM: 'P31 09/15/2004', hardware working fine, da: 1 logical drives, 2 physical drives On NAGIOS server I get this: [r...@nagios ~]# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H locsys -c check_hpasm CHECK_NRPE: Socket timeout after 10 seconds. Other check_nrpe monitoring commands work fine with the same combination: [r...@nagios ~]# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H locsys -c check_memory OK: 66% (2028M) free memory.

You could have 10,000 HTTP service_descriptions as long as they're associated to 10,000 different host_name's. -- Marc -- OpenSolaris 2009.06 is a cutting edge operating system for enterprises looking to deploy the next generation of Solaris that includes the latest innovations from Sun and the OpenSource community.
