Re: [Nagios-users] mbstring not loaded error message with nagvis

[Simon Kainz]

Hi !

Please try the following:

Create a file test.php with the following content:



Put this somewhere in you html folder, e.g where the nagvis config.php
and index.php reside).

Then acess it via a browser  http:///test.php

You will see a list if php modules. Check if mbstring is shown.

Please also check if apache was restarted in order to let the php module
notice thate mbstring is available. Eventually restart apache and check
the output if test.php if the module is available.

Assuming the service doesn't have its own contact, or contact_groups,
it'll inherit from the host.  See the section on implied inheritence
at  http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/objectinheritance.html.

If you want to add additional contacts, I believe you can add more
contacts/contact_groups simply using the + in the service definition.

Re: [Nagios-users] random nrpe socket timeout

[Simon Finch]

 
>> i have troubles in our infrastructure with nrpe giving critical alerts when the nrpe socket timeout. 
If you add the -u switch to the nrpe_check it will return a status of unknown for the nrpe timeouts instead of critical.
The second thing is to add a check on nrpe itself and then setup all of the checks that are run by nrpe as dependancies of the nrpe check.
This will stop all of the remote checks from generating critical alerts if the nrpe check times out.

This is a host notification, not a service notification so I can't  
show you *exactly* what to do but I'll give you the example for the  
above and let you extrapolate --

 command_line/usr/bin/printf "Subject: [Nagios]  
$SERVICESTATE$: $SERVICEDESC$ $HOSTNAME$\nFrom: nag...@$hostname 
$.mascorp.com\n\n * Nagios *\n\nNotification Type:  
$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\nHost: $HOSTNAME$\nState: $HOSTSTATE$\nAddress:  
$HOSTADDRESS$\nInfo: $HOSTOUTPUT$\n\nDate/Time: $LONGDATETIME$\n" | / 
usr/sbin/exim "[Nagios] $HOSTSTATE$ $HOSTOUTPUT$" $CONTACTEMAIL$
 }

Note the change after '|/usr/sbin/exim'. That's where the Subject is  
specified. For a service notification, you'd use $SERVICE*$ instead of  
$HOST*$. You may not need $HOSTSTATE$ depending on if the plugin  
includes the CRITICAL text already.

I'm trying to configure nagios to include the disk full percentage in the

This is good. Nagios is trying to execute the notify-service-by-email
command.

   

[1244096600.198454] [032.0] [pid=7951] 1 contacts were notified.
Next possible notification time: Thu Jun  4 19:23:20 2009
[1244096600.198514] [032.0] [pid=7951] 1 contacts were notified.
 


... and nagios believes it was successful

   

I'm able to manually use the mail command to send external e-mail
(have attempted this several times) and can confirm that I can
manually execute the command_line for the notification option:
 


as the nagios user? (just covering the base)...

   

I have addjusted the command_line and changed it to something like
(for example):

 command_lineecho "testing" | /usr/bin/mail -s "** TEST
SUBJECT **" m...@email.address
 


How about eliminating /usr/bin/mail entirely and dumping text to a
file in /tmp?

command_line echo `date` ' - I notified!'>>  /tmp/notif.log

   

All this said I'm not seeing anything in the mail server logs
indicating that Nagios is even attempting to use notify-service-by-
email and send e-mail.
 


That's interesting and my money is on it being some problem related
to /usr/bin/mail. You might try capturing the output of /usr/bin/mail
by redirecting to a log file --

command_lineecho "testing" | /usr/bin/mail -s "** TEST SUBJECT **" 
m...@email.address
   >>/tmp/mail.err 2>&1

I have requested '-' as an enhancement.

I'm not sure how I could use "hostgroups actuallocation, 
!mainlocation", though. My thought was that I'd have a hostgroup 
'unlocated' with membership consisting of all hosts not in any of our 
location hostgroups. This would make it straightforward to find hosts 
without a specified location and add an appropriate location hostgroup 
to each.

Thanks,

Chris Pepper

[Nagios-users] mbstring not loaded error message with nagvis

[Kaplan, Andrew H.]

Hi there --

I went through the motions of installing NagVis 1.4 onto our Nagios 3.0.6
server, and when I try
to access the nagvis page from the server console, the following error message
appears on-screen:

the php module "mbstring" is not loaded

I verified the php-mbstring package was installed by running the yum utility.
What do I need to
do in order to get NagVis operational? Thanks.

Since you mentioned my application in your post I would like to clarify that
iNag does not require you to modify your Nagios server, What iNag does do is it
allows you to get your Nagios status in a secure and fast way, Using the
inag.php scrip allows you to access this information without exposing Nagios to
the whole world.  

iNag is not a screen scraper or a web app, it supports all major versions of
Nagios 1.x-3.x  and also supports SSL. (even self signed), it allows you to view
the daily event log, and acknowledge host/service problems right from your 
phone. 

Thanks

Alright, now the information is getting to nagios. I had the hosts added
and enabled in centreon, but they were enabled in a host group. When I
applied to nagios, the hosts seem to be there in the config file, but
still not showing up in the gui. 

Close now!

If the previously mentioned ! notation doesn't work then I don't  
really have any suggestions. I haven't had a need to use that kind of  
functionality before (I use dead simple inheritance) so I don't have  
anything to fall back on. If it doesn't work, that'd be a nifty and  
logical feature IMHO.

You're essentially looking for
host_name *
service_description *

If that doesn't work with regexp matching on, then I think the next  
best path is using servicegroups --

All Services In Multiple Servicegroups:
If you want to create service escalations for all services that belong  
in one or more servicegroups, you can do use the servicegroup_name  
directive. The definition below would create service escalations for  
all services that are members of servicegroups SERVICEGROUP1 through  
SERVICEGROUPN. All the instances of the service escalation would be  
identical (i.e. have the same contact groups, notification interval,  
etc.).

define serviceescalation{
servicegroup_name   
SERVICEGROUP1,SERVICEGROUP2,...,SERVICEGROUPN
other escalation directives ...
}

Specific example at 
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/objecttricks.html#serviceescalation 
. You must have 'use_regexp_matching' enabled --

All Hosts:
If you want to create identical service escalations for services of  
the same name/description that are assigned to all hosts that are  
defined in your configuration files, you can use a wildcard in the  
host_name directive. The definition below would create a service  
escalation for all services called SOMESERVICE on all hosts that are  
defined in your configuration files. All the instances of the service  
escalation would be identical (i.e. have the same contact groups,  
notification interval, etc.).

define serviceescalation{
host_name   *
service_description SOMESERVICE
other escalation directives ...
}

There's also an example for all hosts in specific hostgroups.

No it doesn't. I had suspected this was an issue a while back, but got
side tracked by all the ndo problems. Any idea how centreon sends the
information to nagios?

Yes, of course. Your shell passes each space-separated value as a  
unique $VAR; that's expected for any shell script. That's why I  
originally recommended quoting $SERVICEOUTPUT$ in your command  
definition - '$SEVICEOUTPUT'. That will prevent the breakout from  
happening and the shell will assign the entire quoted sentence to a  
single $VAR.

Yes right! I made some test and it's running well...
The only problem that I've seen, it's when a macro contains a sentence such as 
$SERVICEOUTPUT$ -> "NTP CRITICAL: No response from NTP server", each word is a 
parameter instead of a string

And nagios is showing this host in it's GUI?

event_broker_options is still -1? Have you restarted nagios since  
fixing the ndo2db issues? I've never used Centreon so I'm just trying  
to cover logical things...

host_name is not a valid column (see below). If I select * from
nagios_hosts I only see localhost and Centreon-Server, not the host I
added.

This is good. Nagios is trying to execute the notify-service-by-email  
command.

How about eliminating /usr/bin/mail entirely and dumping text to a  
file in /tmp?

command_line echo `date` ' - I notified!' >> /tmp/notif.log

That's interesting and my money is on it being some problem related  
to /usr/bin/mail. You might try capturing the output of /usr/bin/mail  
by redirecting to a log file --

command_lineecho "testing" | /usr/bin/mail -s "** TEST SUBJECT **" 
m...@email.address 
  >>/tmp/mail.err 2>&1

If you query the database directly, do you see data?

SELECT * FROM nagios.nagios_hosts WHERE host_name = 'your host_name';

SELECT * FROM nagios.nagios_services s, nagios.nagios_hosts h WHERE  
h.display_name='your host_name' AND h.host_object_id=s.host_object_id;

[Nagios-users] services alert interval and customization

[Cyril Vieville]

Hi everybody,


My services notification interval is 60 (1 hour) but ideally I would like to be 
able to send only 1 by day if the percent of my disk usage doesn´t change in 
the warning state. For example, if my /var is full at 91% but doesn't grow to 
reach 92% so only 1 alert by day. If it grows to reach 92% so alert.

However, I want to get an alert following my services notification interval of 
60 if the disk usage is in the critical state.



My actual threshold for disks are 90% (warning) and 95% (critical).

Best Regards,

Cyril Viéville

1 - Yes and also to receive the words OK, WARNING, RECOVERY, etc
2 - I checked the web's link and now I understood why this macro never comes. 
For testing that, I made a script which gives me all parameters and I noticed 
indeed that this macro does not exist for the event_handler! 

Do you known how many parameter could send the event_handler? 
Because my script received a max. of 9 parameters, is't that right??

There's effectively no limit within nagios that I am aware of. If  
there is, I suspect it's if the total command_line length exceeds 1024  
or 65536 characters but I don't really think those limits exist unless  
your shell imposes them.

> Because my script received a max. of 9 parameters, is't that right??

In the example from your e-mail, you only saw 8 because the 9th, and  
last one, was $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ which isn't valid for event_handlers  
and was therefor null. If you passed other macros that are valid for  
event_handlers, you would see more.

Do you have the embedded perl interpreter enabled? Are all your perl  
plugins specifically built to work with the embedded perl interpreter  
(they need to be). I'd try disabling the embedded perl interpreter in  
nagios.cfg and see if that makes a difference. If so, you can try to  
identify the specific plugin(s) that are a problem by re-enabling it,  
disable ePN for all the plugins with '# nagios: -epn' then re-enable  
individually to see if the leak re-appears. Information on how to  
control plugin execution through the ePN can be found near the bottom  
of http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/embeddedperl.html

2 - Is this command being used as a service_notification_command for a

A notification to nagios is just running a script. It doesn't matter,  
know, or care what that script actually does. It could send an e-mail,  
send a trap, log to a file, and/or ring alarm bells in an underground  
fortress to send out battalions of techs. In all cases, any macro that  
is valid for notifications can be passed.

[Nagios-users] Nagios does not run any check anymore

[MAD]

Sorry if that question was already answered but I wasn't able to find a 
solution.

I have Nagios v3.0.6 running some test to check the access to some URL and 
supervising some local metrics (cpu load, disk space...). For some reason I 
can't figure out, Nagios stopped running the test and re-scheduled them to June 
the 6th instead of running them every 5 minutes. I tried to restart it and 
everything seemed to work fine again for 10 minutes and then the checks 
were postponed again to June the 6th.
Besides, when I restarted the server, Nagios unloaded the ndo module 10minutes 
after the restart.

Here is the last lines of the logfile:

I'd like to receive in my snmp trap the nSvcNotifyType like :

Notification Type: PROBLEM 

Notification Type: RECOVERY

...

 

Do a trap snmp sending only a nSvcEvent NOTIFICATION-TYPE or a
nSvcNotify NOTIFICATION-TYPE too ?

What's the difference between them 

Where should I find documentation about that 

 

regards

jerome 

 

Hi !

NAGIOS_NOTIFY_MIB says :

nHostEvent  NOTIFICATION-TYPE

DESCRIPTION

"The SNMP trap that is generated as a result of an event with the
host

in Nagios."

 

nHostNotify NOTIFICATION-TYPE

DESCRIPTION

"The SNMP trap that is generated as a result of an event requiring

notification for a host in Nagios."

 

 

$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ is a string and the MIB uses integer.#

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/macrolist.html#notificationtype

 

Does send_trap cover that?

 

if not:

Today I finished a  small C program to translate the string into integer
and send traps (for nHostNotify and nSvcNotify) based on Nagiosmib 1.0.1

If you are interested in...  (maybe some parts need a bit of improvement
as I am not an advanced c programmer )

 

 

regards

Gerald

Re: [Nagios-users] SNMP configuration for Nagios: sysUpTime.

[Ian Masters]

If your command is working from the command line chances are it will succeed if
you configure your cfg file as I indicated.

I have noticed that hrSystemUptime.0 gives more accurate information than
sysUpTime.0 if you have access to that oid.

On the system I'm checking (a linux box) hrSystemUptime.0 agrees with the uptime
command but sysUpTime.0 does not. I have no idea why. I'd be interested to know.

Re: [Nagios-users] SNMP configuration for Nagios: sysUpTime.

[Kevin Keane]

No. These two files are related to the SNMP daemon and the SNMP trap
handling, respectively.

Basically, SNMP has two different ways it operates. You can query client
machines using SNMP, or the client machines can actively send you
information (usually only when some event occurs). Actively sending
information is called a trap. While you can probably make it work with
Nagios, that would be somewhat unusual, and is not what you are looking
for here. The snmptrapd.conf file deals with traps.

check_snmp (and snmpwalk, snmpget etc.) use a plain client/server
approach. On the nagios machine, you have a client - check_snmp. On the
monitored client, you have an SNMP "server" called snmpd (in Linux).
Windows, as well as many routers, switches etc. all also have similar
SNMP servers running.

As the name suggests, snmpd.conf is used to configure this daemon. In
other words, you would need to set that up on the monitored client if it
is a Linux client. check_snmp and snmpget don't use it.

Off the top of my head, I don't know how to configure snmp (probably a
file called snmp.conf - without the d, along with a whole directory tree
under /etc/snmp), but in most Linux distributions it should be pretty
much already configured the way you need it. You may need to install a
couple MIBs for devices you want to monitor.

Most of what you would need to do is done on the command line to the
check_snmp command.

[Nagios-users] Nagios not sending host or service notifications

[Tim Philips]

Hi,

We have hit a weird situation with Nagios and I hope someone in the 
community can assist or provide some details of additional 
troubleshooting steps we can/should take.


The situation is Nagios doesn't seem to be sending out host or service 
notifications.  I have done the following debugging:


  1. Ensure there is no Nagios configuration errors with nagios -v
 nagios.cfg (no configuration errors)
  2. Stopped and started Nagios to ensure there are no configuration
 errors that -v isn't aware of (and no errors and Nagios restarts
 correctly)
  3. Stopped Nagios and deleted both objects.cache retention.dat and
 restarted to ensure there was nothing legacy in the configuration
  4. Ensure that both on a service, host and global basis that
 notifications are enabled (and they are)
  5. Reviewing the nagios configuration (both in the files and via
 "view config" from the Nagios UI)


When a host (or service) experiences a problem the normal process seems 
to be happening (from what I see in the UI and the logs):


[1244096420] SERVICE ALERT: localhost;root 
/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00;CRITICAL;SOFT;1;DISK CRITICAL - free 
space: / 17736 MB (4% inode=99%):

/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00;CRITICAL;SOFT;2;DISK CRITICAL - free 
space: / 17739 MB (4% inode=99%):
[1244096540] SERVICE ALERT: localhost;root 
/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00;CRITICAL;SOFT;3;DISK CRITICAL - free

/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00;CRITICAL;notify-service-by-email;DISK 
CRITICAL - free space: / 17739 MB (4% inode=99%):


After enabling debugging (debug_level=32) I see the following in the 
debug log:


[1244096600.182820] [032.0] [pid=7951] ** Service Notification Attempt 
** Host: 'localhost', Service: 'root /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00',

(incremented)
[1244096600.183016] [032.1] [pid=7951] Service notification will NOT be 
escalated.
[1244096600.183042] [032.1] [pid=7951] Adding normal contacts for 
service to notification list.
[1244096600.198454] [032.0] [pid=7951] 1 contacts were notified.  Next 
possible notification time: Thu Jun  4 19:23:20 2009

[1244096600.198514] [032.0] [pid=7951] 1 contacts were notified.

I'm able to manually use the mail command to send external e-mail (have 
attempted this several times) and can confirm that I can manually 
execute the command_line for the notification option:


# 'notify-service-by-email' command definition
define command{
command_namenotify-service-by-email
command_line/usr/bin/printf "%b" "* Nagios 
*\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\n\nService: 
$SERVICEDESC$\nHost: $HOSTALIAS$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nState: 
$SERVICESTATE$\n\nDate/Time: $LONGDATETIME$\n\nAdditional 
Info:\n\n$SERVICEOUTPUT$" | /usr/bin/mailx -s "** $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ 
Service Alert: $HOSTALIAS$/$SERVICEDESC$ is $SERVICESTATE$ **" 
$CONTACTEMAIL$

}

I have addjusted the command_line and changed it to something like (for 
example):


command_lineecho "testing" | /usr/bin/mail -s "** TEST SUBJECT 
**" m...@email.address


Nagios doesn't have any configuration errors, starts up but still 
doesn't seem to fire the command!!



All this said I'm not seeing anything in the mail server logs indicating 
that Nagios is even attempting to use notify-service-by-email and send 
e-mail.


Would really appreciate any suggestion anyone can assist with.


Cheers

[Nagios-users] Rebuild Nagios-packages for RHEL 5

[Kenneth Holter]

Hi all.


I'd like to rebuild (from source RPM) a few RHEL 5 Nagios-plugins found in
the EPEL repo. Examples of such plugins are "nagios-plugins-load" and
"nagios-plugins-disk".

The only relevant source RPM I've found is the "nagios-plugins" package.
This package seems to include all plugins. Should I use this package to
build the above mentioned plugins? If so, does anyone know how to stip the
spec file down to just a selected few plugins? I'm quite new to building
RPMs, and could use some guidance.

Regards,
Kenneth Holter

Re: [Nagios-users] SNMP configuration for Nagios: sysUpTime.

[Jimmyboy]

I have snmpd.conf and snmptrapd.conf files within the path '/etc/snmp/'.
Shouldn't one need to make changes within these configuration files in order
to pass/retrieve relevant information to the web interface of Nagios?

What I feel is Nagios is unable to query the network entity and so unable to
get the needed information.

Appreciate your help!!

Thanks,
Jim

Have you tried the command from the command line first? e.g.
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_snmp -H 192.168.1.1 -C  -o sysUpTime.0
