[Nagios-users] Event Handlers, start a java program, nohup issues.
Hello Users: I have a problem with an event handler of mine. The handler starts a java daemon-like program which loops forever waiting for connections and performs JMX queries against our java applications. The problem is that the handler times out when it is run by nagios. This is what I see in the logs: [01-07-2009 18:45:36] SERVICE EVENT HANDLER: bj-mon-01;JMX_Server_Running;(null);(null);(null);start_jmx_server [01-07-2009 18:46:07] Warning: Service event handler command '/usr/local/nagios/libexec/eventhandlers/start_jmx_server CRITICAL SOFT 1' timed out after 30 seconds The event handler should start my JMXServer both in hard and soft states. I have run the command from the console as the nagios user and it works, so the problem has nothing to do with user rights for nagios. The problem is that the handler hangs when I run nohup followed by my command for starting the server (see the red text below).

[Nagios-users] monitoring load balanced url
All, I am trying to monitor an url which is load balanced behind csm. I want it go to warnning state if 50% of the servers are unavailable behind csm. Can someone please give me some suggestion how I can achieve this.

Re: [Nagios-users] monitoring load balanced url
All, I thought of this approach. I will create a service call 'check_public_url' on host1, host2, host3, host4, and etc. Then I would create another check which will use check_cluster plugin to check the service status like below ./check_cluster -s check_public_url -d -w 0:50 -c 50:75 Am I approaching the right solution? Please advise on this. thanks On Thu, Jul 2, 2009 at 9:20 AM, shadih rahman shadhi...@gmail.com wrote: All, I am trying to monitor an url which is load balanced behind csm.

That is exactly what I am doing (or trying to do with) the character at the end of my command. But it does not appear to be working, the command looks like this: nohup $JAVA_CMD -cp $CLASSPATH $JVM_OPTIONS JMXServer $PORT /dev/null 21 $LOG_FILE Any suggestions?

Re: [Nagios-users] Event Handlers, start a java program, nohup issues.
Perhaps instead of using a java daemon to do JMX queries, you could use the check_jmx nagios plugin. (Available at the monitoring exchange site.) I've been using it in our Nagios system, and it's been working nicely (after some enhancements). I'm in the process of adopting and enhancing the code (neither of the previous 2 authors wanted to maintain it) and setting up a proper home for it on sourceforge (http://sourceforge.net/projects/nagioscheckjmx/). (Don't download it yet until I get the 1.0 release uploaded.) HTH, DR Marco Tirado wrote: Hello Users: I have a problem with an event handler of mine.

Re: [Nagios-users] Event Handlers, start a java program, nohup issues.
First, put a space in front of that . Otherwise, it may be treated as part of the variable name. Second, I believe that the 21 needs to come AFTER the redirection to $LOG_FILE. Otherwise, what you are doing is redirecting stderr to stdin - which is still the console - and THEN redirecting stdin to the log file. I always get this wrong, though - it might be exactly opposite of what I'm thinking. But if I'm right, because stderr is still attached to the console, nagios would still consider it to be in the foreground.

[Nagios-users] Send SMS via Serial
Hi all, I'm trying to set a solution to send sms via serial port (RS-232).

Files don't really matter. Nagios loads them all, and processes.
Its up to you how you want to format. Sometimes it's easier to
group by type (hosts, services, commands, etc), and others by
location (server room, etc). How you format is up to you. If you
want, you can even bundle it all in a single file.
Lines ending in \ are wrapped and should appear on a single line in
your config.

Here, nagios is running the 'host-notify-by-email' command for the

command_line work as the nagios user from the command line? Do you see
any indication of the attempt in your mail server log files on the

[Nagios-users] how does nagios locate config path?
Hi I want to build and install Nagios under a certain path (eg /opt/local) but tell it to find it's configuration (nagios.cfg, cgi.cfg) elsewhere (eg /export/nagios). There is useful configure directive for the lockfile (--with-lockfile), is there something similar for configuration path? Ideally I don't want to install anything under /export/nagios as part of the installation procedure, another process will deploy the correct configuration there, I just want to set Nagios to look there when it runs.

Re: [Nagios-users] how does nagios locate config path?
The main nagios configuration file is configurable in the init script. All other files are read based on the cfg_file and cfg_dir directives in that main nagios configuration file. So you can either use the default nagios.cfg, which then points to things in /export/nagios, or edit the init script to also use a nagios.cfg in /export/nagios -Gius mega...@gmail.com wrote: Hi I want to build and install Nagios under a certain path (eg /opt/local) but tell it to find it's configuration (nagios.cfg, cgi.cfg) elsewhere (eg /export/nagios).

Re: [Nagios-users] how does nagios locate config path?
Thanks for that reply. So the init.d script tell the nagios daemon where to find the config files and other things...what about the CGI scripts...how do they know where to look?

All other files are read based on the cfg_file and cfg_dir directives in that main nagios configuration file.
