[Nagios-users] check_dhcp issue

[Dei Bertine]

Hi all,

I need to monitor our dhcp server and came to see the check_dhcp plugin.

However I'm getting this error when initiating the command:

nag...@tool:~/libexec$ ./check_dhcp -s serveip1
Error: Could not bind socket to interface eth0.  Check your privileges...

But when I am on root, I get this: 
r...@tool:/usr/local/nagios/libexec# ./check_dhcp -s serveip1
OK: Received 1 DHCPOFFER(s), max lease time = 86400 sec

ls -als on check_dhcp:
76 -rwxr-xr-x 1 nagios nagios 72834 2009-04-27 13:06 check_dhcp

Do I need to do something like set permissions on serveip1 server? 

Please advise.

Thanks! 
DB

[Nagios-users] how can I access data stored by pnp4nagios

[Rahul Nabar]

I just updated my nagios installation so that I can get cpu-core
temperatures with lm_sensors. Works fine. I have pnp4nagios which give good
time series trends of temperatures as well.

But the problem is if I want a snapshot of CPU temperatures right now for my
whole server room hardware (or at any other past instance of time)
pnp4nagios is not useful. It gives a time series but not a spatial (trend
over servers at a point in time) graph. If I wanted to hack together my own
graphing tool what's the best place to pull out data from?

Digging in I noticed the /nagios/share/perfdata/serverxxx/ directory which
does have the xml and rrd files. Is this a good spot to pull data out from
for each monitored server?

Unfortunately that would only be for the latest time instance , right? But
since pnp4nagios can plot over a time range it must have access to historic
temperatures too. So, where are these stored? I suspect internally  as a
binary produced my rrdtool?

In which case is there another way for me to access historic_perf_quantity
at a given point in time for all servers? Or perhaps it is possible to
generate something like this using custom rrdtool queries?

Any sugesstions?

Just noticed that one of my old emails had received a pointed to the "pages"
feature in pnp4nagios. Maybe that will work this time around..

Your database table scheme is with prefix "ndo_" so you have to set that in 
your ndo2db.cfg too

and make sure you start ndo2db first and then nagios.

Re: [Nagios-users] Problem getting past main page

[Guy Waugh]

Hi again Andrew,

OK, now that you've made it to the point where nagios (and apache) appears
to be working, it looks like it doesn't know about some commands, contacts
and contactgroups that are used in the localhost.cfg file. You could read
the nagios documentation, and/or try to find where those things are defined
on your old nagios host and bring them over to the new one. They might be in
files called 'commands.cfg', 'contacts.cfg' and 'contactgroups.cfg'.

Cheers,
Guy.

Re: [Nagios-users] Server/host Inheritance

[Mark Gius]

As far as I know no. 

If you're logged in as a user that hasn't been hardcoded for full-access 
to CGIs, you can only see hosts and services that you're listed as a 
contact for (and as long as you're not going hog-wild with service 
escalations they'll get notified for those hosts/services), so that's 
one way, but if you're using service escalations I'm not aware of any 
way to see that from the web interface.

Excellent, thanks to you and Mathew ..  This is exactly the info I needed.

Re: [Nagios-users] Problem getting past main page

[Kaplan, Andrew H.]

I have made some progress. I removed the nagios.conf file from the
/etc/httpd/conf.d directory.
Once that was done, I was able to get past the main screen. My next step was to
configure 
the various cfg files fromt Nagios 2.6 to work with the Nagios 3.1.2
application. I added several 
lines to the nagios.cfg file that pointed to the location of the files that I
brought over. 
 
I ran the preflight check again, and now I have the following appearing
on-screen:
 
Checking services...
Error: Contact group 'admins' specified in service 'Current Load' for host
'localhost' is not defined anywhere!
Error: Contact group 'admins' specified in service 'Current Users' for host
'localhost' is not defined anywhere!

is not defined anywhere!
Error: Contact group 'admins' specified in service 'PING' for host 'localhost'
is not defined anywhere!

Error: Contact group 'admins' specified in service 'Swap Usage' for host
'localhost' is not defined anywhere!
Error: Contact group 'admins' specified in service 'Total Processes' for host
'localhost' is not defined anywhere!
 
I checked the /usr/local/nagios/etc/ and /usr/local/nagios/etc/objects
directories, and each has a localhost.cfg file
in it. The nagios.cfg file points to the latter as the one that it looks to for
configuration settings. I checked through it,
and there is no mention of admins anywhere. I also checked the services.cfg file
in the same directory as localhost,
with the results being the same.
 
Where is this cause of complaint originating from, and how can I correct it?
Thanks.

Hi there --
 
I can answer your questions in the order they were asked:
 
1. I made sure to restart apache after the changes were made via the

OK, great. Just making sure :-)
 


 
2. The output of the apachectl configtest is the following:

Syntax OK


Right. This indicates that the configuration options for the 'ScriptAlias
/nagios/cgi-bin /usr/local/nagios/sbin' and 'Alias /nagios
/usr/local/nagios/share' on lines 566 and 583 of your httpd.conf file aren't
taking effect. This is probably because there is a file in /etc/httpd/conf.d
(possibly 'nagios.conf'?) that is being loaded before apache parses those lines
in your httpd.conf file (see line 210 of your httpd.conf file: 'include
conf.d/*.conf'). Have a look at the file in /etc/httpd/conf.d and see what
ScriptAlias and Alias definitions exist in that file. It might in fact make more
sense to put the nagios web configuration in that file rather than in the
httpd.conf file... though it's up to you. There should only be one definition
for the nagios Alias and ScriptAlias definitions, and they should be as they
currently are in your httpd.conf file.

[Nagios-users] dynamic service name creation

[shadih rahman]

All,
   I am trying to create my service name dynamically.  Can someone tell me a
clever way to do.   What I am tyring to achive is the following.  I have a
servicename "outlet1outputcurrent".  Outlet1 is connected to host1.  I can
get the hostname for host1 by doing a snmp query.  Somehow I want to
generate the servicename to say "host1outputcurrent".  Is it possible to do
this using check_snmp plugin.  Please advise on this.  Thanks

-- 
Cordially,
Shadhin Rahman

[Nagios-users] adding custom macros/variables/objects

[Eric Pearce]

I currently use the two "url" variables for different ways of connecting to a 
host from the nagios webpage:

define host{
use generic-host
host_name   vpn-server
address 192.168.1.1
contact_groups  it
notes_url   https://192.168.1.1
action_url  ssh://192.168.1.1
statusmap_image cisco.png
}

I just click on the "notes" or "action" icon and it fires up a new browser or 
ssh window to the host.  What I would like to do is add more of these "url" 
variables, for example, connect to a digital KVM switch, turn the host power on 
and off with some SNMP commands, connect to the host RAID controller's web 
interface, etc.  Is there an easy way to add more of these variables and have 
them show up in the GUI?   I see the documentation regarding custom object 
variables, but a quick glance at the cgi source code made it appear that all 
this stuff is hard-coded.   I suppose I could use one the existing "url" 
variables to send me to another landing page with my custom buttons, but it 
would nice to have everything in one spot in the GUI.I'm also open to other 
ways to doing the same thing. 
Thanks

Re: [Nagios-users] NDOUtils and Mysql libraries assistance needed

[Michael Friedrich]

Your database table scheme is with prefix "ndo_" so you have to set that 
in your ndo2db.cfg too


and make sure you start ndo2db first and then nagios.

Re: [Nagios-users] Server/host Inheritance

[Mathew Walker]

The documentation on this is actually pretty good... 

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/objectinheritance.html

 

If you have a host that use's the template... then in that host's config you 
define the same value again, it will override... except if you use the "!" and 
"+" signs to change the behavior.

 

in the case of contacts and hosts (like in a group)... 

 

eg, 

contact_group   +management 


Using the line above will add the management group in addition to what was 
assigned via the template.

If you used "!management", it should not send to the management group even if 
it was defined in the template.

 

If you just used it without the ! or +, it will override the template and just 
email management.

 

I think I got that all straight... dont' quote me, quote the documentation.  :-)

Re: [Nagios-users] Server/host Inheritance

[Mark Gius]

You're going to want to read this: 
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/objectinheritance.html, 
specifically "implied inheritance" about 3/4 of the way down.

Host and service inheritance is (mostly) separate.  There are some 
implied inheritance rules however.  For example, if a service doesn't 
define contact_groups anywhere, it will inherit contact_groups from its 
host.  If you override contact_groups in the service somewhere, it will 
use that instead.

You can add things using the "+" syntax (see additive inheritance), and 
you can kind of delete things with "!", but I've not played with that 
very much.

I have a question about inheritance within a service/host.  First,
these are completely separate, correct?  ie, if I define a host with a
contactgroup of foo, the service does not use that contactgroup, but
rather uses the one defined by the service template, correct?  Or does
it fall back to the host contact group if a service contact group is
undefined?

Next, if I have an existing service/host template with a contactgroup
and I define a new service using that template, under what conditions is
that contactgroup superseded?  If I define single contacts, will it
still use the contactgroup?  How about if I specify a new contactgroup?
 Can I add/delete contacts and contactgroups without specifying the
inherited ones?

Thanks,

I guess I'm a timid user..(not running make earlier)
So ran make - I didn't get any errors but it still says support for database 
servers not found does that mean I need to re-run for postgresql?

Great, that's what I was hoping for. Do you have any experience of
setting this buffer to much higher values? Not that I necessarily
intend to, but it's always useful to know the effects of pushing the

Right. This indicates that the configuration options for the 'ScriptAlias

/usr/local/nagios/share' on lines 566 and 583 of your httpd.conf file aren't
taking effect. This is probably because there is a file in /etc/httpd/conf.d
(possibly 'nagios.conf'?) that is being loaded before apache parses those lines
in your httpd.conf file (see line 210 of your httpd.conf file: 'include
conf.d/*.conf'). Have a look at the file in /etc/httpd/conf.d and see what
ScriptAlias and Alias definitions exist in that file. It might in fact make more
sense to put the nagios web configuration in that file rather than in the
httpd.conf file... though it's up to you. There should only be one definition
for the nagios Alias and ScriptAlias definitions, and they should be as they
currently are in your httpd.conf file.

The answer depends a lot on whether you are using Nagios v2 or Nagios
v3; we are using Nagios v2.11.  My understanding is that in Nagios v2,
the code that communicates with the event broker module in
single-threaded.  Therefore a problem with the SQL server can jam up
Nagios to the extent that it effectively stops running commands.  In
Nagios v3, threading has been rewritten and this problem no longer
exists.

> I'm assuming Nagios will continue to monitor and send notifications as

In Nagios v2 it seems that almost all activity is suspended when you are
using NDOutils and the MySQL server is unavailable; this continues until
the SQL server is restored.  One solution is to restart Nagios without
the broker_module.

Results passing into the command pipe are stored.  The relevant
parameters are in nagios.cfg; they are external_command_buffer_slots and
check_result_buffer_slots - by default these are set to 4096 (see
documentation within the configuration file).

OK... you can see here that apache has been configured to look for the CGIs
in /usr/local/nagios/share/cgi-bin, not /usr/local/nagios/sbin. This must be
the definition in the apache configuration file in /etc/httpd/conf.d .

4. The permissions of the files would seem to indicate the apache user has read
and execute permissions. If necessary, I can change the permissions
to match those of the owner and group.
 
5. I ran the tail -f command on the error_log file, and went through the motions
of clicking on the links of the main page. The error messages appeared
   on-screen, while the following entries appeared in the log file:
 
  [Thu Jun 25 10:29:38 2009] [error] [] File does not exist:
/usr/local/nagios/share/cgi-bin, referer: http:///nagios/side.php

  [Thu Jun 25 10:29:48 2009] [error] [] File does not exist:
/usr/local/nagios/share/cgi-bin, referer: http:///nagios/side.php
 

6. When I go to the http:///nagios page, I get the splash screen for
the Nagios application. The error occurs whenever I click on any of the
links starting from the Current Status group and going down the list. 
 
7. The host in question is a CentOS 5.3 system running on the i386 architecture.
 
8. The original Nagios 2.6 directory was copied as a tar file and via sftp from
the original Nagios server to the new one. The tar file was extracted into the
/usr/local directory. The nagios user and group were created, with the
former being given a home directory and utilizing the nologin shell. The Nagios 
   3.1.2 application was compiled from source on the new server, with the
following arguments:
 
configured by ./configure, generated by GNU Autoconf 2.61, with options
\"'--prefix=/usr/local/nagios' '--with-nagios-user=nagios'
'--with-nagios-grp=nagios'\"
 
What do you think?

Hi again,

Strange...

Some questions:

You're sure you restarted apache after editing httpd.conf?
What is the output of 'apachectl configtest'?
What files are in /usr/local/nagios/sbin -- are they files like 'status.cgi',
'avail.cgi', 'cmd.cgi' etc.? Are they executable by the user that apache is
running as?
Is there anything useful in the apache error logs?
What do you see when you go to http:///nagios with your web browser?
Is that when you get the error below?
Is the nagios host a Linux or Unix host (sorry, can't remember if you've
specified this before)? If so, which flavour/version?
Did you compile nagios on this host, install it via a package manager, or copy
it from another host?

Cheers,
Guy.

Hello,
Im currently modifying our GUI to better suit our needs. However, one thing
I haven't been able to do (so far), is to extract all host macros that are
custom made, in extinfo.cgi.

Have anyone done this before?
Thanks in advance

[Nagios-users] NDO Utils Question

[Christopher McAtackney]

Hi everyone,

I have a quick question about Nagios and NDOUtils I was hoping someone
could answer.

What happens if the database that NDO Utils is using becomes
unavailable? (e.g. the server has crashed).

I'm assuming Nagios will continue to monitor and send notifications as
normal, is this correct?

What about the service check results that would normally be passed to
NDO Utils and then stored in the database? Are they queued somewhere?
And if so, how is the capacity of this queue defined? If they are not
queued, what happens? Will NDO Utils just throw an error for each
result it tries to store in the database and fails? Will this affect
the core Nagios process?

Hopefully someone can provide some insight.

Cheers,
Chris

Ah, now I understand. My apologies. I missed the part where you were 
upgrading and reading the emails showed errors that are very common to 
first time installations.


That said, all I can say is "read the log files". Quite a few issues 
I've encountered were solved when consulting various log files (httpd 
logs, /var/log/messages, mysql logs, etc).

Re: [Nagios-users] NDOUtils and Mysql libraries assistance needed

[Michael Friedrich]

Once again,

./configure --help

gives you all the help you need.

Try

ls /usr/lib/mysql | grep libmysqlclient.so

and check the output. If there is nothing found, try

find /usr/lib/ | grep libmysqlclient.so

The path to the found file (in case) is the one you need for configure e.g.

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

Same thing for mysql.h

find /usr/include/ | grep 'mysql.h'

and adjust this to your needs e.g.

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


and then give the whole configure output.

but PLEASE REPLY, do _not_ start another thread.

Kind regards,
Michael

You chose to compile NDBXT with MySQL support, but I was unable to
locate the MySQL library on your system.  If the library is
installed,  use the --with-mysql-lib argument to specify the
location of the MySQL library.
NOTE: After you install the necessary libraries on your system:
  1. Make sure /etc/ld.so.conf has an entry for the directory in
 which the MySQL libraries are installed.
  2. Run 'ldconfig' to update the run-time linker options.
  3. Run 'make devclean' in the NDBXT distribution to clean out
 any old references to your previous compile.
  4. Rerun the configure script.

 ./configure --with-mysql-lib=/usr/lib/mysql
I have a question about step 1. When I more the file all it has in it 
is this information:

Do I just add "/usr/lib/mysql" ?

Re: [Nagios-users] Problem getting past main page

[Andrew Davis]

I recognize this may sound a little terse and I don't mean it to be 
so... but as I've seen all the emails from you that are indicative of a 
first time setup, might I suggest getting a Nagios book to assist you? 
There's quite a few out there. I personally use Nagios 2nd Edition from 
Wolfgang Barth and its proven to very valuable...


Just a thought...

Re: [Nagios-users] NDO Utils is not running even after repeated attempts

[Kevin Keane]

The error message says that ndoutils is running, but can't connect to 
the database.

Can you try and see if port 3306 is open? That is the one MySQL should 
be listening on. The command to do that is:

netstat -ltunp

Next, check if there might be a firewall blocking access. For instance, 
to see the rules for iptables:

iptables -vnL

I hope this helps!

[Nagios-users] NDOUtils and Mysql libraries assistance needed

[Natalie Aloi]

Hi I am having trouble getting ndoutils to work 
during my install I found this information logged:

*** MySQL library could not be located... **
You chose to compile NDBXT with MySQL support, but I was unable to
locate the MySQL library on your system. If the library is
installed, use the --with-mysql-lib argument to specify the
location of the MySQL library.
NOTE: After you install the necessary libraries on your system:
 1. Make sure /etc/ld.so.conf has an entry for the directory in
 which the MySQL libraries are installed.
 2. Run 'ldconfig' to update the run-time linker options.
 3. Run 'make devclean' in the NDBXT distribution to clean out
 any old references to your previous compile.
 4. Rerun the configure script.
TIP: Try the following
 ./configure --with-mysql-lib=/usr/lib/mysql
I have a question about step 1. When I more the file all it has in it is this 
information:

[r...@nagios etc]# more ld.so.conf
include ld.so.conf.d/*.conf

My question is what is the syntax of the libraries I have no idea what to add 
into this file.
Do I just add "/usr/lib/mysql" ?

I am running Fedora 9
mysql has been installed (see below:)
[r...@nagios etc]# rpm -qa | grep mysql

Tore,Aren't you missing a $ at the end of $_HOSTCRM_SERVICES$ in your services definition?See Custom variables in http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/macros.htmlYou could also have some debugging set in Nagios to show the exact command being run.TonOn 24 Jun 2009, at 14:12, Tore Lønøy wrote:Hello,Sorry for double posting, but wrong subject.Ton:Command line:/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H  -c CheckServiceState -a AOS\$01 ShowAll=longOK: AOS$01: started Here is the host def:define host { use Xhost_name   Xaddress Xalias   Xhostgroups  +CRM4#max_check_attempts 3#check_interval 2 #retry_interval 1#contact_groups +#notifications_enabled  1_CRM_SERVICES   AOS\$01# Macros_REQUESTOR}The service definition:define service { # Which _template_* to use. # (e.g. standard-service-60)use standard-service-1# Service spesificservice_description CRM Servicescheck_command   check_nrpe_parameters!CheckServiceState!ShowAll=long $_HOSTCRM_SERVICES  hostgroup_name  CRM4# Per service optionsfirst_notification_delay    10process_perf_data   0notifications_enabled   1max_check_attempts  2retry_interval  5 }The check command definition:define command {    command_name check_nrpe_parameters    command_line $USER1$/check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -t 15 -c $ARG1$ -a $ARG2$}It worked on Nagios 3.0.6.

Looking at your attached httpd.conf file, you seem to have configured the
URL '/cgi-bin/nagios' to be the ScriptAlias for the nagios CGIs, but then
you are trying to access them with the URL '/nagios/cgi-bin'. Provided the
Nagios CGI scripts are in /usr/local/nagios/sbin, as they are by default,
you should probably define your ScriptAlias like this:

ScriptAlias /nagios/cgi-bin "/usr/local/nagios/sbin"

Cheers,
Guy.

My second thought:

For SLES11, you may include the repository at
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/server:/monitoring/SLE_11/.
There are prcompiled packages of nagios and nrpe. Plus you don't confuse
your server with packages that are installed alongside the package
management ;-)

Re: [Nagios-users] Escaping broke i 3.1.1 ?

[Tore Lønøy]

The service name is "AOS$01", not "AOS\$01". The backslash is added to
escape the $.

I've tried the following combination:
$$
\$
\\$
$$$
\\\$
\\\$$

But no luck :(

Re: [Nagios-users] nrpe-2.12

[David Gutierrez Gutierrez]

Hi!

You can try : ./configure --with-ssl-lib=/usr/local/ssl/lib
make all 
make instal

I had the same problem and I've solved adding the ssl libraries.

Regards

  you
can probably easilly fix with openssl-devel 
 
if you have yum... "yum install openssl-devel" is all you have to do.

Subject: [Nagios-users] nrpe-2.12
  
  Hi
   
  I’m
trying to install nrpe-2.12 on the nagios server and I receive
this
message :
  ./configure
  […]
  checking
for SSL headers... SSL headers found in /usr/local/ssl
  checking
for SSL libraries... configure: error: Cannot find ssl libraries
   
  The
openssl’s version is : openssl-0.9.8h-30.11 and there’s not
openssl.devel package available… on the other hand the version nrpe-2.8
is running !
   
  On
some forums, I’ve read that I could install this patch (see attach
file).
   
   
  How
could I run this patch?
  Which
version is better to use: nrpe-2.8 or nrpe-2.12?
   
  Thanks
  jerome

Re: [Nagios-users] nagvis requires ndoutils; how stable is ndoutils?

[Michael Friedrich]

Hi there,

you can use Nagvis not depending on installing NDOUtils - try NDO2fs 
which is a new module and fully compatible to current NagVis version. It 
gets the data from Nagios via NDO Event Broker and writes it to a 
filebased structure from where NagVis will select the data from.


http://www.vertical-visions.de/2009/01/13/introducing-ndo2fs/
http://www.vertical-visions.de/projects/nagvis-project/
http://www.nagvis.org/

"We added two backends to the main NagVis code. You can now connect 
NagVis to ndo2fs . Ndo2fs is a 
lightweight alternative to the default MySQL based NDO."


Kind regards,
Michael

I just installed ndoutils with mysql. There indeed was one

Nagios wouldn't even start up.

It turned out that it wasn't primarily the database itself, but binary
logging. It is turned on by default (at least on CentOS) but you only
need it for replication. If you are not using replication, simply turn
off binary logging and you should be good to go. At least, I hope
so; I
only made that change yesterday, so I won't know for another week
or so.


Thanks for all those helpful comments guys! You might have saved me 
from a few disasters here. I think I am staying away from Nagvis (and 
ndoutils ) for now.


Nagviz seems to me one of those tools that simply look great but the 
back-end still needs quite some work before I'd be brave enough to 
unleash it in a production environment!

A "zypper se openssl" will show you all known packages containing
openssl in their names. Maybe libopenssl-devel ist the package you're
looking for. Try "zypper in libopenssl-devel" to install it and retry
compiling.
