[Nagios-users] Regarding snmp databyte multiplication

[Sujeet Mulmi]

Hi,

   I have used nagios to get some information of disk usage of my 
NAS . However I could get the correct parameter with the correct OID, 
but I felt to scaled it . I was wondering how can I do multiplication of 
the output value with some units to get the exact result. Any highlight 
will be appreciated.

 Thanks in advance.

Rgds,
Sujeet

It is either or.

I have tried it with $HOSTADDRESS$ as well. The command defined is for
$HOSTADDRESS$

[Nagios-users] ping dependency

[Jeremiah Jester]

For some reason I'm having a hard time understanding exactly how
dependencies work.

What I'm trying to do is create a service dependcy  that will halt
notifications of any number of servers file if that host cannot be pinged.

Can anyone assist?

Here is the required basic syntax of a basic servicedependency definition in
nagios2.


define servicedependency{
  host_name
  service_description
  dependent_host_name
  dependent_service_description
}


Much appreciated,

Jeremiah

[Nagios-users] Host UP alert 0, email weirdness

[jeff]

Hello!

We have updated our Nagios installation from 2.12 to the latest stable
3.x. For the most part, things seem to be working okay. One bit of
weirdness, though, is that we are occasionally getting email delivered
to "$@.com" instead of "@.com". Our head
IT person is getting all these alerts, since he is the designated bounce
address for the domain.

Here is our host notify by email command:

define command {
  command_name host-notify-by-email
  command_line /usr/bin/printf "%b" "* Nagios  *\n\nNotification
Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\nHost: $HOSTNAME$\nState: $HOSTSTATE$ for
$HOSTDURATION$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nInfo: $HOSTOUTPUT$\n\nDate/Time:
$LONGDATETIME$\n\nACKed by: $HOSTACKAUTHOR$ \nComment: $HOSTACKCOMMENT$
\n" | /bin/mail -v -s "Host $HOSTSTATE$ alert $HOSTNOTIFICATIONNUMBER$
for $HOSTNAME$!" $CONTACTEMAIL$
}

The other weird thing is that the notification # seems to be resetting
back to 0 when the host recovers. Is this normal?

Thanks!

Re: [Nagios-users] Generic SNMP query

[Mark Gius]

You may find this perl script helpful.  It takes a base OID, does an 
snmpwalk on it, and then compares the results to a specified regex or 
warning/critical threshold.

check_snmp, in the standard plugins, is pretty darn generic letting  
you query any OID and searching for numbers, strings or regexes and  
alerting based on those values. Do you need more than that?

Re: [Nagios-users] ndoutils 1.3.1

[Carsten Schmidt]

Hello Natalie,

you need to compile ndoutils with mysql-support. A normal ./configure 
should find the required files, so maybe:

a) your system lacks the mysql-development-libraries (on debian/ubuntu 
the package is called "libmysqlclient-dev" I think).
configure should write out the following lines:
-
checking mysql/mysql.h usability... yes
checking mysql/mysql.h presence... yes
checking for mysql/mysql.h... yes
MySQL library and include file(s) were found!
-
If you have installed the development files just do "./configure && 
make" again.

b) configure can't just find them, for that case the README at 
ndoutils-1.4b7 told the following:

-
Use the following commands to compile the NDO broker module, NDO2DB 
daemon, and
additional utilities:

./configure
make

If the configure script is unable to locate your MySQL or PostgreSQL 
development
libraries, you may need to help it out by using the --with-mysql-lib or
--with-pgsql-lib options.  Here's an example:

./configure --with-mysql-lib=/usr/lib/mysql
-

good luck
-- Carsten

You can't get that much more granular out of the box I don't think.

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios SLA tool

[Ulf Karlsson]

Hi Felipe,

I have written a small Python script that uses pycurl to retrieve the
Nagios availability web page, and then PyQuery to parse the HTML and
retrieve the table with the availability report and put it into a
custom HTML body and then smtplib to send an email. It was pretty
straight forward, tell me if you're interested and perhaps I can
prepare a version without passwords etc.

Re: [Nagios-users] socket time out

[Param Srinivas]

Connectivity is excellent, check_ping works fine. No firewall and DNS -
using host by ip only.

Also for the socket time out error tried increasing the time by 50 sec but
still the same.

Now NC_NET when installed , it requires few changes in its configuration
right ? Like in active_ip_accept_list  included the ip address of the Nagios
server , and changing the startup.cfg file by commenting out port and
ipaddress.

Note :  When opening the config files for NC_NET i select open as word pad

Is this right ?

There is not proper documentation on how to troubleshoot issues with NC_NET


Thanks

Re: [Nagios-users] REPOST: Problem in Preflight Check with commands.cfg

[Kevin Keane]

I would suggest that you use grep to be sure you really caught all 
configuration files (grep -ri "check_dns" /etc/nagios3).

My guess, though - just a hunch - is that you may be accidentally 
including the same file twice in your nagios.cfg. For instance, you may 
have explicitly specified it in nagios.cfg, and it may also get 
automatically included because it is in the conf.d directory.

Another possibility is that the directory structures of the old and new 
nagios servers don't match, and you somehow ended up with two separate 
command.cfg files.

Hi guys,

We are currently about to fully engage with Nagios.

Our current VM which has aprox. 1200 services and 200 hosts will be deleted
and a new "distributed monitoring" will be setup.

Thing is, we need to monitor aprox. 500 hosts with aprox. 6000 services.

Almost all Servers are in a single location. So there should be no need for
Nagios "probes" distributed on big locations...

Has anyone had an experience with Nagios with this ammount of hosts/services
to be monitored? I need a basic guidance regarding hardware and distribution
model to be used.


Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

Regards,

Harald

Re: [Nagios-users] nagios dont care about time periods

[Guy Waugh]

Hello,

I might be misunderstanding you here, but it looks like the timeperiods
might not be defined correctly for what you want.

It looks like the first timeperiod is defined as the entire week except for
Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, midnight to 9 mins past midnight, and
10:00pm to midnight. So the only times in the week that aren't lying within
the timeperiod are about two hours and nine minutes on each of those three
days. The second timeperiod is defined similarly, but for the days Monday,
Wednesday and Friday instead of Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.

Here is a timeperiod we use to define 'non-working hours' -- it might give
you a bit of help in crafting your own timeperiods...:

define  timeperiod {
timeperiod_name nonworkhours
alias   Non Working Hours
sunday  00:00-24:00
monday  00:00-09:00,17:00-24:00
tuesday 00:00-09:00,17:00-24:00
wednesday   00:00-09:00,17:00-24:00
thursday00:00-09:00,17:00-24:00
friday  00:00-09:00,17:00-24:00
saturday00:00-24:00
}

Regards,
Guy.

Re: [Nagios-users] REPOST: Problem in Preflight Check with commands.cfg

[Gabriel - IP Guys]

I would suggest that you install version 2.6 on ubuntu, and then upgrade
through the versions. It will take some time, but jumping from 2.6 to
3.0.6 is asking for issues. There are just too many things that have
changed. Besides, it will also teach you about the upgrade process :)

[Nagios-users] nagios dont care about time periods

[Gabriel Sosa]

guys,

we are two sysAdmin and for that I added two time periods for alerts
but nagios still sending alerts to both. It was working fine but from
one week ago when I added some other services to check we both
starting getting alerts.

And I'm sure about something its working wrong because when I go to
nagios and check the log or alerts sent I can see that were sent to
both.

Any ideas? Thank you!

Re: [Nagios-users] Return code of 142 is out of bounds

just a thought... 

 

is $HOSTNAME$ valid?  sure you don't mean $HOSTADDRESS$ instead?

I am using the snmp commands. The following are a coupld of examples:

check_snmp_ntpstat -H $HOSTNAME$ -C COMMUNITY_NAME
check_snmp_disk -H $HOSTNAME$ -C COMMUNITY_NAME

I have seen the faqs mentioned by you and it says the same thing as mentioned

version 3.x. I did not find that in any previous versions.

I think this can also happen when some checks returns -no- value, or return a 
string when expecting an integer, etc.  essentially encountering something the 
plugin isn't expecting which could be leading to "bad exit" from the script.

Can you recreate this from the command line?

Hi All,

I am running Nagios 3.0.2 on FC5 server.

I have been encountering this strange error intermittently on a few checks.

(Return code of 142 is out of bounds)

I am using the nagios with snmp (net-snmp-5.2 & net-snmp-5.3) on a few servers.

This normally happens with snmp-load checks or snmp-disk checks.

I could not find anything related to this problem over the internet. Hoping to 
get a solution to this problem here.

Hi guys,

We are currently about to fully engage with Nagios.

Our current VM which has aprox. 1200 services and 200 hosts will be
deleted and a new "distributed monitoring" will be setup.

Thing is, we need to monitor aprox. 500 hosts with aprox. 6000 services.

Almost all Servers are in a single location. So there should be no need
for Nagios "probes" distributed on big locations...

Has anyone had an experience with Nagios with this ammount of
hosts/services to be monitored? I need a basic guidance regarding
hardware and distribution model to be used.


Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

Regards,

Harald

Re: [Nagios-users] StatusMaps Nagios With Google Maps

[Traiano Welcome]

Hi Deocir

I have a (not very elegant) but working implementation of this, below is 
a description that you may be able to use as a rough example to 
construct your own, and attached is the scripts I use:



The system is composed of a number of components

1. Google API Frontend (NAGIOS-monitored sites over a map display):
--

The GoogleMaps frontend scripts are based on examples provided in the 
API tutorial, and modified to display sites stored in a mysql database 
table. The scripts draw individual sites with markers coloured blue or 
red depending on whether the site is up or down, and also links 
(representing WAN links) between sites defined by two GPS end-points.



2. Node and Link Editing Interface (so users can edit WAN links and site 
markers)

---

PHP scripts provide an interface to define single nodes on a map, which 
represent sites monitored by NAGIOS, and also WAN links between two
sites that have been defined. Basically, the scripts allow you to enter 
site details and GPS coordinates into a database table, which the Google API

code will read and represent on the GoogleMap.

3. Database Backend (to hold site GPS coordinates and site status info):
-

Mysql database tables hold information defining a "site" on the map, i.e 
GPS coordinates, colour of the marker, name of the site and
a short textual description of the site which will pop up on the map "on 
mouse-over ".


The GoogleMap frontend code reads these tables in order to draw links 
and individual sites. The tables are edited through a simple HTML/PHP 
frontend in order to define sites and links.


4. Site Marker update script (to update the status of site markers on 
the map according to NAGIOS alerts)

--

NAGIOS sends alerts via email to an email alias on the web server, the 
alias is to a perl script which parses the email and updates the status 
of the site in the database table. Depending on the status of a site 
(UP/DOWN) the colour of the marker for a given site is changed between 
Blue and Red, and this will show up on the GoogleMap frontend.



Attached are the scripts that comprise the system, below is a 
description of how they're arranged in the file hierarchy on my web server:


Web front-end scripts:

Re: [Nagios-users] Infrastructure help!

[Mathew Walker]

Alot depends on the type of checks, the check frequency, and timeout values.

 

For example, we have ALOT of webinject (perl script) tests which can take 20-40 
seconds to complete.  With a retry_interval of 1min, when we have some 
"issues", we can quickly have many checks running simultaneously (even hanging, 
waiting for the 60sec timeout).  This can quickly suck memory and may cause 
Nagios to crash.

 

In my situation, I have several small VPS systems that do external monitoring, 
testing and development that check to ensure Nagios is running on the our core 
monitoring box and page me to death if that check fails.  :-)


On a very reasonable spec'd server I'm sure you should be able to handle it.

[Nagios-users] WG: nagiosgrapher-1.7.1 -> graphs performance tools?

[Meyer Jerome]

Hi again,

 

I've read some webpage about nagiosgrapher... and it will be replace
with netwaysgrapher2 ;(

So, nagiosgrapher doesn't run well and I want to install a new
performance graph tools.

I've seen on Internet about: PNP4Nagios, opcp, nagiosgraph, n2rrd, and
so on...

 

Do you have experience feedback about performance graphs?

 

 

Thank a lot for your help,

jerome

Betreff: nagiosgrapher-1.7.1

 

Hi

 

I've installed nagiosGrapher-1.7.1 and a icon (without image) appears at
side from the PING service into the < Service Status Detail > webpage.
When I clic on it the explorer open a new windows with < NETWAYS Nagios
Graph > Title with some infos at the top and with some Current graph,
Daily graph,... boxes at the bottom (see attach file)!

The problem are that no graph appears at all! The only possibility is to
view the graph as PNG,PDF,and so on...

 

I've checked all config. files, read the doc again but I don't find the
problem ?

Re: [Nagios-users] REPOST: Problem in Preflight Check with commands.cfg

[Guy Waugh]

Hi there,

All I can suggest is:

1. "cd /etc/nagios3/conf.d; grep -r check_dns *" and see if the command
definition appears twice anywhere;
2. Vet your nagios.cfg carefully and make sure you're not inadvertently
including the same file twice, files from somewhere else etc.; and
3. Deleting the lines around the definition of the check_dns command, and
the command definition itself, and retyping it manually (to make sure no
strange characters have found their way in there somewhere).

You've probably done the equivalent of all those already, but that's all I
can think of...

Cheers,
Guy.

We currently have ~850 host and ~13000 service checks running on a
single, standalone server. The hardware is nothing fancy, a plain HP
ProLiant DL360 G5 with 8GB of RAM. You should be fine with a single
server, but there are a few things to look out for:

  * The 'enable_environment_macro' should be set to 0. Enabling this
config option seriously increased the load on our server.

  * PNP4Nagios and similar addons may significantly increase the load on
your server. We collect perfdata and use PNP4Nagios for only a few
select services.

  * The Nagios embedded perl interpreter (ePN) was a major PITA, it
leaked memory and we ended up compiling Nagios without ePN
completely.

  * You may have to adjust the command_check_interval and similar config
settings.

  * We mostly use NRPE plugins and only monitor UNIX/Linux hosts. You
may have to take care not to use plugins that consume a lot of
resources on your Nagios server.

These are the only tuning tips I can think of for now, but YMMV :)

We don't use distributed monitoring, but are looking into it. When a
more streamlined clustered Nagios setup becomes available for production
use (probably with the Merlin backend), we will definately be
interested.

[Nagios-users] REPOST: Problem in Preflight Check with commands.cfg

[Kaplan, Andrew H.]

Hi there--
 
I am reposting this question due to a lack of response. I really am in need of 
help here, and any would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I have completed the installation of Nagios 3.0.6 onto an Ubuntu 9.04 server
using the apt-get utility. We currently have a Nagios 2.6 server running, and 
I wanted to import the configuration files into the newer server. To that end, 
I have placed the appropriate configuration files in the /etc/nagios3/conf.d
directory, and modified the nagios.cfg file to reflect the location of the
configuration files.
 
I ran the preflight check and the following error message appeared on-screen:

[Nagios-users] Infrastructure help!

[Harald Böhmecke]

Hi guys,

We are currently about to fully engage with Nagios.

Our current VM which has aprox. 1200 services and 200 hosts will be
deleted and a new "distributed monitoring" will be setup.

Thing is, we need to monitor aprox. 500 hosts with aprox. 6000 services.

Almost all Servers are in a single location. So there should be no need
for Nagios "probes" distributed on big locations...

Has anyone had an experience with Nagios with this ammount of
hosts/services to be monitored? I need a basic guidance regarding
hardware and distribution model to be used.


Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

Regards,

Harald

Are you opposed to adding NagEventLog with an NCSA service for the
passive checks?  You can write an event check filter in NagEventLog to
look for the specific events in the Event logs.
 
I don't believe the bult-in UPTIME check supports thresholds but you
could "wrap" it in some code to do it.

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

[Jimmyboy]

Hi Ian,

You were absolutely correct. I just had to edit the 'command.cfg' and
'windows.cfg' files to get the system uptime value within Nagios' web
interface.

Also, 'hrSystemUptime.0' fetches the Windows-based system's uptime, whereas,
'sysUpTime.0' fetches the uptime of SNMP service.

Hats off to you!!

Now, I need to do some more research for additional parameters. Will keep
you updated.


Thanks,
Jim

[Nagios-users] Nagios SLA tool

[Felipe Ferreira]

Hello fellow nagios fan,

I am looking for an addon that provides me easy and clean reporting 
capabilities, to allow correct SLA reports.


For the front end I use Centreon 2.0.2 and it is a really nice tool, but 
the Reporting does not allow
me simple things like selecting timeperiod, SLAs are only from 8:00 to 
17:00 and how can I get that information?
I saw few scripts but they are all outdated, NaReTo seems to work only 
with v2.0 anyone got it working for nagios 3?


Functions I would like to see:

   * /Allow to create groups of services/hosts to genereate report from/
   * /Define time periods /
   * /Sort by problems/
   * /Export to CSV,PDF/
   * /Auto email reports previsouly defined, weekly or monthly,/
   * /Get TOP X most downtime servers/services./


Any advise is very welcome.

cheers,
Felipe

[Nagios-users] nagiosgrapher-1.7.1

[Meyer Jerome]

Hi

 

I've installed nagiosGrapher-1.7.1 and a icon (without image) appears at
side from the PING service into the < Service Status Detail > webpage.
When I clic on it the explorer open a new windows with < NETWAYS Nagios
Graph > Title with some infos at the top and with some Current graph,
Daily graph,... boxes at the bottom (see attach file)!

The problem are that no graph appears at all! The only possibility is to
view the graph as PNG,PDF,and so on...

 

I've checked all config. files, read the doc again but I don't find the
problem ?

 

Has anyone some idea?

 

Best regards

Jerome

Nagvis-1.4 added support for Merlin's database, which has a much slimmer 
profile than NDO. Merlin is not quite recommended for production use yet 
but we are working on it so it will be in a few weeks time, you might 
want to check it out.

Maybe the problem was a previous problematic restart. In our
installation, nagios (nagios3, but previously nagios 1) is working
smoothly. We don't have any problem like you, but sometimes when we
restart it to reload configuration (if we have added hosts or services).
Sometimes, the restart fails and we have several instances of nagios
running and appears a similar problem. Killing all nagios processes and
starting again fix the problem.

We configure nagios with centreon and we don't know if this a
problem
related with centreon or with a startup scripts (centreon uses them).

But, if we don't reload nagios, it runs without problems.
