[Nagios-users] Nagios Web Interface - restrict service checks but show all hosts
Hello, I am relative new to nagios and i wanted to ask, if it is somehow possible to show only the service checks a user is a contact of but also all hosts. (without all service checks beeing viewable) We use Nagios 3.0.1 and find that this is not possible here. Is it a bug? If so, is it fixed in higher versions?

Re: [Nagios-users] Oracle DB Server
Jim, thanks for your reply to Kaushal's request about Oracle databases. I am trying to do the same thing (configure Nagios to monitor Oracle dB's). I already have the instant client installed on my Nagios server thanks to a previous employee, and my dBa has edited my tnsnames.ora file on the Nagios server; so now I am just trying to verify that the instant client is configured properly. I checked the directions in the second link you sent. In step 4 it tells you to cd to /etc/ld.so.conf and edit/create a file called oracle.conf and insert the following path in the file: /opt/oracle/lib Is this referring to a path on the Oracle server I will be checking, because this path (/opt/oracle/lib) does not exist on my Nagios server. The instant client does get installed on the Nagios server, correct?

You should be able to test the instant client is working by running sqlplus and querying a database. Your DBA can help you with that.

Re: [Nagios-users] passive service and notification email
On 26 October 2010 10:09, Andrea Imparato imparato.and...@gmail.com wrote:
Hello to all ml,
I have a simple request for you. I have a passive service check
scheduled on my nagios server and a cron script on my clients (they are
all natted) that send me the informations. The question is: which is the
parameter for nagios that say after some period send me an email if you
see nothing happens?. Sorry but I found the documentation a bit
chaotic :\
See:
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/freshness.html
So the important bits are ...
Make sure it's a passive check:
active_checks_enabled 0
passive_checks_enabled 1
Check whether a fresh check has been received recently:
check_freshness 1
freshness_threshold 93600
Run this this if not fresh:
check_command no-backup-report
In this case, instead of a normal check command, you have a command
defined which will always give you a non-ok warning:
define command{
command_nameno-backup-report
command_line/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_dummy 2 CRITICAL:
Results of backup job were not reported!
}
Note the check_dummy plugin takes two arguments - the exit code you
want it to return (0=ok, 1=warning, 2=critical, 3=unknown) and the
check result text you want Nagios to display.
I normally do something similar, but with pedantically correct text like so:
define command{
command_namecheck_dummy-checkfail
command_line/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_dummy 3 UNKNOWN: Nagios
didn't receive a check result from the cron job on this server!
}
Whether you choose to use warning, critical or unknown is up to you.
hth,
Jim

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios Core | VC Monitoring
Agent or not, that is depending on what you want to check and how much information you can draw from virtual center. For example I', checking hosts that are not in my serverpark, but still checking for example if I can reach them on http, how many credit we have left at our text provider and so on. So yeah, you can check some stuff without agent /Leif Den 27-10-2010 07:08, Himanshu Arora skrev: Wondering if it is possible to setup the monitoring for vmware, i have 100s of guest operating systems running on ESX hosts and want to monitor all guest os without installing agent on 'em. and the requirement is to monitor atleast disk space or memory usage on those guests, which plugin i should use. My idea is to install the agent on virtual center coz it has all the information about all the esx hosts plus info about all the guest operating systems that esx is handling. Please let me if thr is any other agent i can install to achieve this. or suggest what else can be done.
