Something like check_nt -V client_version would do the trick (forgive me if my syntax isn't quite right - going from memory). You could alternatively do an snmp query of the switch port the host is connected to, but that's a bit complicated I guess. -- This SF.net email is sponsored by Make an app they can't live without Enter the BlackBerry Developer Challenge http://p.sf.net/sfu/RIM-dev2dev ___ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null E-mail Disclaimer: The information contained in this message is confidential and is intended for the addressee only.

Re: [Nagios-users] What Switch Metric Are You Monitoring
Hello Rab,
I monitor the following services on my Cisco Switches.
Ping
Uplink status + bandwidth utilisation
CPU (Avg 5 mins)
Environment (FAN, PSU)
If my server was connected to the network as below:
Server1 = Switch1 = Switch2 = Localhost (Nagios)
I would configure the parent/child relationship this way.
Server1 Parent = Switch1
Switch1 Parent = Switch2
Switch2 Parent = Localhost
If you do this you will end up with the Nagios network map looking like
your network documentation. Also If switch2 does down Nagios will
assume Switch1 and Server1 are also unavailable and will suppress
notifications.
I have also setup service dependencies so that all my switch as follows
define servicedependency {
dependent_host_name HPK3044
dependent_service_descriptionCPU 5 min
average,Environmental monitoring,Link to HPD-LRE Bandwidth,Link to
HPD-LRE Status,Link to HPKDC1 Bandwidth,Link to HPKDC1 Status,Vlan 1
Bandwidth,Vlan 1 Status
host_nameHPK3044
service_description Ping
inherits_parent 1
execution_failure_criteria w,u,c
notification_failure_criteriaw,u,c
dependency_period24x7
This makes all the monitored services on the switch dependant on the
switch being pingable. If the ping service is in the warning, critical
or unknown state all the other services will not produce notifications.
Hope this helps

Re: [Nagios-users] check_proc --metric=CPU - alternatives?
Hi According to the documentation, the -n option is used to give a regex which selects which process(es) you are monitoring and the -u option should work on the sum of the CPU for those selected processes only. The example given is: ./check_snmp_process.pl -H 127.0.0.1 -C public -n http -w 3,8 -c 0,15 -m 9,25 -u 70,99 This is what I tried but as I described all processes have the same name :-( which should alert if the total cpu of all processes haveing 'http' in the name is 70. And I want to get an alert if ANY of these processes uses more than the given value. To get the plugin to do exactly what you describe, you will need to edit the perl code a bit. Bear in mind that you can never have more than one process using 90% cpu in the same period! Not really true ;-) As this machine has 8 real CPU-Cores with HT enabled there can be up to 16 Processes with more than 90% CPU usage ;-) I will have a look in the perl code.

Re: [Nagios-users] Passive freshness checks - active checks
Hey All, I'll check out the stats and turn on debugging next to see if there is anything there. In the mean time, what version of nagios are you running? Nagios Core 3.2.1 This seems to be the problem right here. I upgraded to nagios 3.2.1 from 3.2.0 and nagios now honors my thresholds properly. I looked at the change log and didn't see this listed as a fix, but maybe I'm just blind. Either way, this is the fix (upgrading) for those that follow in my foot steps.

Other than that, I monitor link bandwidth where it really interests me, for example on the ports serving our most busy systems and one or two which link main data centres together. The usual rule with Nagios parent relationships is that the parent is the device closer to the Nagios server than the child. Don't forget you can have more than one parent if that's how your network is. hth, Jim -- This SF.net email is sponsored by Make an app they can't live without Enter the BlackBerry Developer Challenge http://p.sf.net/sfu/RIM-dev2dev ___ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null The information in this internet E-mail is confidential and is intended solely for the addressee.

[Nagios-users] Exclude host from status map
List, I would like to exclude a host from the status map. Is there a way to accomplish this? Basically, I am trying to monitor some IP aliases without cluttering up my map. kind regards, Terry -- This SF.net email is sponsored by Make an app they can't live without Enter the BlackBerry Developer Challenge http://p.sf.net/sfu/RIM-dev2dev ___ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null

Basically, I am trying to monitor some IP aliases without cluttering up my map. I don't think you can do that unless you use an alternative map addon like NexSM for example. You could maybe monitor the IP Aliases as services rather than hosts? -- This SF.net email is sponsored by Make an app they can't live without Enter the BlackBerry Developer Challenge http://p.sf.net/sfu/RIM-dev2dev ___ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null
Re: [Nagios-users] Email echo monitoring
Shane I currently doing a similar thing to check for delivery delay and did not find any existing plugins that do that. I wrote a couple of scripts one to send email via gmail with the time stamp in the subject field and a second script to check the Exchange mailbox and calculate diffelrence between the received time stamp and the sent time stamp in the subject field. I completed these scripts and need to finish the last script to calculate the delay and pass the values it to Nagios. The scripts are written in perl, if you are interested I will post them.
