[Nagios-users] check_nrpe from Nagios Dashboard
I seem to be having an issue here. It is with various checks that don't have an argument value. If I run check_nrpe -H XXX -c check_uptime from the shell on my nagios server, I get the correct return. However if I setup the serveice check with check_nrpe|check_uptime I get (No output returned from plugin) in the Status information window, and an Unknown status. If I use check_nrpe_noargs - [this doesn't have -a $ARG1$ $ARG2$ $ARG3$ at the end] then the service check on the host works from the webpage. I assume that this is because on these checks there are no actual arguments. Im just wondering if I send a zero value on the end,, which does work, would this be acceptable. As this will be across architectures, im trying to use the same tests, and on some machines there will be actual argument values. I am just using the check_uptime above as an example. There are a few others that this is affecting also. Thanks B The information in this email is confidential and may be legally privileged. It is intended solely for the addressee.

Re: [Nagios-users] Final stage of getting MRTG working with Nagios v2
I may be wrong here but i thought you had to point the check_mrtg to a rrd
file and not the rrdtool log file.

*Subject: * [Nagios-users] Final stage of getting MRTG working with
Nagios v2
Hello,
I have been fluffing around with Nagios for a couple of weeks, and have
nearly finally nailed it.
I just have one thing to go.
I am trying to get MRTG to work with Nagios.
I have got MRGT working locally on my machine , and can see it working
bygoing to these 2 sites (locally)
in a browser:
file:///usr/local/mrtg-2/share/mrtg2/icons/index.htmlhttp://m33.mail.qq.com/cgi-bin/frame_html?sid=6AuAxsNrmrW1bmsgr=31ef6d4e0997510a3066d059ab83e370#
and
file:///usr/local/mrtg-2/share/mrtg2/icons/localhost_2.htmlhttp://m33.mail.qq.com/cgi-bin/frame_html?sid=6AuAxsNrmrW1bmsgr=31ef6d4e0997510a3066d059ab83e370#
I followed the tutorial below to set up my router with Nagios:
http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2008/11/how-to-monitor-network-switch-and-ports-using-nagios/
however I am yet to get MRTG working with Nagios:
PING OK 11-14-2009 13:13:56 21d 16h 10m 13s 1/3 PING OK - Packet loss = 0%,
RTA = 1.38 ms
Port 1 Bandwidth Usage UNKNOWN 11-14-2009 13:09:49 21d 16h 8m 43s 3/3
*check_mrtgtraf:
Unable to open MRTG log file*
Port 1 Link Status OK 11-14-2009 13:11:29 12d 22h 37m 5s 1/3 SNMP OK -

Uptime OK 11-14-2009 13:10:29 12d 22h 27m 57s 1/3 SNMP OK - Timeticks:
(152738042) 17 days, 16:16:20.42
My switch.cfg currently has the following:
# Monitor bandwidth via MRTG logs
define service{
use generic-service ; Inherit values from a template
host_nameBillion
service_description Port 1 Bandwidth Usage
check_command*
check_local_mrtgtraf!/usr/local/mrtg-2/share/mrtg2/icons/localhost2.log!AVG!100,100!500,500!10
*
}
My localhost2.log is at the location above: *
/usr/local/mrtg-2/share/mrtg2/icons/localhost2.log* ,however I still must
have something wrong for it to not work.
When I run: /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v
/usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg , it says: *Things look okay - No
serious problems were detected during the pre-flight check*
When I run: /usr/local/mrtg-2/bin/mrtg /home/mrtg/cfg/mrtg.cfg , it says:
---
ERROR: Mrtg will most likely not work properly when the environment
variable LANG is set to UTF-8. Please run mrtg in an environment
where this is not the case. Try the following command to start:
env LANG=C /usr/local/mrtg-2/bin/mrtg /home/mrtg/cfg/mrtg.cfg
---
When I run: env LANG=C /usr/local/mrtg-2/bin/mrtg /home/mrtg/cfg/mrtg.cfg
, there are no errors.
Does anyone know what I am still doing wrong
Thanks for any help,
Kind regards,
Anthony

[Nagios-users] What would you want in a replacement web interface?
Hi there. I've been working on a replacement web interface for Nagios, and it's coming along great! However, I wanted to take the time to ask the community some questions to get your feedback and roll it into the interface. So I have 3 questions to ask you all. If you could answer with as much detail as possible, it would be fantastic. #1) What is the most important thing you want to see in a Tactical Overview replacement? What are the most essential components? #2) When looking at a Host or a Service, what are the details you want/need to see? What can you not live without? #3) What is your biggest gripe regarding the existing Nagios web user interface? -- Taylor Dondich (tdond...@gmail.com) CEO at Lilac Networks (http://www.lilacnetworks.com) Provider of quality support for open source monitoring solutions View our open source Nagios Configuration Tool at http://www.lilacplatform.com -- Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.

[Nagios-users] Check external hosts using NRPE
Hi every:
I'm trying to check some services in a remote host (Ubuntu Linux 9.04
Server) using NRPE. I have the NRPE plugin installed on both machines:
the nagios server and the remote host. I describe below what I've done
until now:
Remote Host (machine to check)
1) Compile and install the nagios plugins and NRPE
2) Check NRPE connection:
~# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H localhost
NRPE v2.12
3) Install and cofigure xinetd service (/etc/xinetd.d/nrpe)
* 10.128.50.2 (is the Nagios Server IP)
service nrpe
{
flags = REUSE
socket_type = stream
port= 5666
wait= no
user= nagios
group = nagios
server = /usr/local/nagios/bin/nrpe
server_args = -c /usr/local/nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg --inetd
log_on_failure += USERID
disable = no
only_from = 127.0.0.1 10.128.50.2
}
4) Add the NRPE daemon to services file (/etc/services)
5) Check if NRPE daemon is running correctly
~# netstat -at | grep nrpe
tcp0 0 *:nrpe *:* LISTEN
6) Allow NRPE on iptables
## NRPE Nagios Plugin
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 5666 -j ACCEPT
7) Configure all services at /usr/local/nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg
command[check_ping]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_ping!100.0,20%!500.0,60%
After all this changes, off course, I restart all services (xinetd,
iptables and so on)
Server (machine where Nagios is running)
1) Install the NRPE plugin
2) Check connection to remote host
~# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H 10.128.50.11
NRPE v2.12
3) Create command definitions (/usr/local/nagios/etc/commands.cfg)
#'nrpe' command definition
define command{
command_namecheck_nrpe
command_line$USERS1$/check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -c $ARG1$
}
4) Create host and service definitions
Host Template:
--
define host{
namelinux-server
use generic-host
check_period24x7
check_interval 5
retry_interval 1
max_check_attempts 10
check_command check-host-alive
notification_period 24x7
notification_interval 30
notification_optionsd,u,r
contact_groups admins
register0
}
Define Host (bacula-server.cfg) (the server to check):
--
define host{
use linux-server
host_name bacula-server
alias bacula
address 10.128.50.11
}
Define Services:
--
define service{
use generic-service
host_name bacula-server
service_description PING
check_command check_nrpe!check_ping
}
Just one for now for testing purpose.
5) Restart Nagios
~#/etc/init.d/nagios restart
After all this I'm getting, constantly, these errors:
[1258389533] Warning: Return code of 127 for check of service 'SAN Space
SDB1' on host 'bacula-server' was out of bounds. Make sure the plugin
you're trying to run actually exists.
[1258389583] Warning: Return code of 127 for check of service 'SSH' on
host 'bacula-server' was out of bounds. Make sure the plugin you're
trying to run actually exists.
[1258389633] Warning: Return code of 127 for check of service 'Swap
Usage' on host 'bacula-server' was out of bounds. Make sure the plugin
you're trying to run actually exists.
[1258389813] Warning: Return code of 127 for check of service 'Total
Processes' on host 'bacula-server' was out of bounds. Make sure the
plugin you're trying to run actually exists.
[1258389813] SERVICE NOTIFICATION: nagiosadmin;bacula-server;Total
Processes;CRITICAL;notify-service-by-email;(Return code of 127 is out of
bounds - plugin may be missing)
The funny part is if I run this command (from nagios server):
# ./check_nrpe -H 10.128.50.11 -c check_users
USERS OK - 1 users currently logged in |users=1;5;10;0
What I miss here? Where is the error?
Cheers and thanks in advance

[Nagios-users] pnp4nagios, check_snmp, and the `-m' flag
I have a system all setup and running with Nagios and PNP4Nagios. Some
of the SNMP checks are not making graphs for me. My general habit has
been to anchor the SNMP check with the `-m' flag on the check_snmp
command.
My command:
define command {
command_name check_snmp
command_line $USER1$/check_snmp -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -m $ARG1$ -o $ARG2$
}
My service:
define service {
hostgroup_name power_meters
service_description Demand KiloWatts
use snmp-service
check_command check_snmp!
EATON-PWR-MTR-MIB!.1.3.6.1.4.1.534.8.3.1.5.1.1.4.1
servicegroups power_meter_checks
}
My result:
temporary configs # /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_snmp -H 10.1.25.11 -m
EATON-PWR-MTR-MIB -o .1.3.6.1.4.1.534.8.3.1.5.1.1.4.1
SNMP OK - 19 kilo-watts |
Notice that there's no perfdata. If I leave out the `-m', I get it:
temporary configs # /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_snmp -H 10.1.25.11
-o .1.3.6.1.4.1.534.8.3.1.5.1.1.4.1
SNMP OK - 19 | iso.3.6.1.4.1.534.8.3.1.5.1.1.4.1=19
It would be nice to keep the units on these calls, just for the sake of
it, but this is what's keeping the performance data from being reported
in these instances. Just thought I'd post this to the list for future
reference. If past experience is any indication of future trending, I'll
find this through Google in about 3 years when I can't figure out why I
can't get performance data in Nagios again. ;-)

Re: [Nagios-users] prioritizing state returns
So the issue is that you have a single check that checks all the drives on the machine, and then return whatever it considers the worst state - in this case UNKNOWN? Couldn't you simply have one check per drive? This way, you'll know if more than one drive goes out of disk space at the same time as well as give you better history for graphs etc. It's late and I am a bit tired so let me know if I'm missing something obvious here :-) Regards, Martin Melin On Mon, Nov 16, 2009 at 8:23 PM, Terry td3...@gmail.com wrote: On Fri, Nov 13, 2009 at 2:44 PM, Terry td3...@gmail.com wrote: Hello, I have an nsclient++ checkdrivesize check in place.

Re: [Nagios-users] prioritizing state returns
This is what I ended up doing. Here's a snippet of checking both
cluster nodes and the cluster drives themselves. Sorry for not
thinking outside of the box to begin with:
define service {
use service-active-perf-30
host_name cluster1a,cluster1b
service_description disk drives - nrpe
check_command
check_nrpe_win_drives_free!3G!1G!'D:\\'!'K:\\'!'Q:\\'
}
define service {
use service-active-perf-30
host_name cluster1

The problem is that check_snmp parses the output from snmpget and it
appears that when you load the MIB it detects the result as a string (if
you post the full debug output (-vvv switch) I will be able to confirm).
The best fix would be to use the SNMP C library instead or running
snmpget (which would be more reliable too). This is a major rewrite and
we don't have time for that right now.

Hello,
I have been fluffing around with Nagios for a couple of weeks, and have nearly
finally nailed it.
I just have one thing to go.
I am trying to get MRTG to work with Nagios.
I have got MRGT working locally on my machine , and can see it working by
going to these 2 sites (locally) in a browser:
file:///usr/local/mrtg-2/share/mrtg2/icons/index.html and
file:///usr/local/mrtg-2/share/mrtg2/icons/localhost_2.html
I followed the tutorial below to set up my router with Nagios:
http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2008/11/how-to-monitor-network-switch-and-ports-using-nagios/
however I am yet to get MRTG working with Nagios:
PING OK 11-14-2009 13:13:56 21d 16h 10m 13s 1/3 PING OK - Packet loss = 0%,
RTA = 1.38 ms
Port 1 Bandwidth Usage UNKNOWN 11-14-2009 13:09:49 21d 16h 8m 43s 3/3
check_mrtgtraf: Unable to open MRTG log file
Port 1 Link Status OK 11-14-2009 13:11:29 12d 22h 37m 5s 1/3 SNMP OK - up(1)

(152738042) 17 days, 16:16:20.42
My switch.cfg currently has the following:
# Monitor bandwidth via MRTG logs
define service{
use generic-service ; Inherit values from a template
host_nameBillion
service_description Port 1 Bandwidth Usage
check_command
check_local_mrtgtraf!/usr/local/mrtg-2/share/mrtg2/icons/localhost2.log!AVG!100,100!500,500!10
}
My localhost2.log is at the location above:
/usr/local/mrtg-2/share/mrtg2/icons/localhost2.log ,however I still must have
something wrong for it to not work.
When I run: /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg ,
it says: Things look okay - No serious problems were detected during the
pre-flight check
When I run: /usr/local/mrtg-2/bin/mrtg /home/mrtg/cfg/mrtg.cfg , it says:
---
ERROR: Mrtg will most likely not work properly when the environment
variable LANG is set to UTF-8. Please run mrtg in an environment
where this is not the case. Try the following command to start:
env LANG=C /usr/local/mrtg-2/bin/mrtg /home/mrtg/cfg/mrtg.cfg
---
When I run: env LANG=C /usr/local/mrtg-2/bin/mrtg /home/mrtg/cfg/mrtg.cfg ,
there are no errors.
Does anyone know what I am still doing wrong
Thanks for any help,
