Have you checked the nagios.cfg file and ensured the path for 
command_file is the same in both the nagios.cfg and nsca.cfg? Nagios 
should be creating the command file on start up.  If they are the same, 
check that nagios has write permissions to /var/lib/nagios3/rw.  Also, 
the command file is a pipe, not a simple file, so "touch" isn't good 
enough, you'll need to use mkfifo or mknod.

[Nagios-users] NSCA w/ secondary nagios machine monitoring separate network segment

[Andy Graybeal]

I've read this http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/distributed.html a 
few times, but I'm having a hard time understanding it.  I will keep 
reading it until it makes sense.

I'm running Ubuntu 10.04.  I've installed nagios and nsca with the 
package manager.


I have most hosts/services on 192.168.2.x network, but there are a few 
on a 10.0.0.x network behind a gateway machine 192.168.2.200<->10.0.0.1.

My nagios box is 192.168.2.201

The nsca daemon is running fine.  I can do a send_nsca from 
192.168.2.200 and get an Okay Packet sent.  In my syslog it says:

Oct 30 14:04:36 nagios nsca[713]: Connection from 192.168.2.200 port 8853
Oct 30 14:04:36 nagios nsca[713]: Handling the connection...
Oct 30 14:04:37 nagios nsca[713]: SERVICE CHECK -> Host Name: 'monarch', 
Service Description: 'TestMessage', Return Code: '0', Output: 'This is a 
test message'
Oct 30 14:04:37 nagios nsca[713]: Command file 
'/var/lib/nagios3/rw/nagios.cmd' does not exist, attempting to use 
alternate dump file '/var/run/nagios/nsca.dump' for output
Oct 30 14:04:37 nagios nsca[713]: Could not open alternate dump file 
'/var/run/nagios/nsca.dump' for appending
Oct 30 14:04:37 nagios nsca[713]: End of connection...

I wonder why nagios.cmd does not exist, if I touch this manually, the 
error goes away, but it happens again if I restart the nagios service.

Does anyone have example config files of a distributed nagios where the 
only reason that it's distributed is because of network topology, not 
for redundancy.

I'm sorry I don't understand the documentation and need a little more 
hand holding.

-Andy

pnp4nagios is based on rrdtool and not mysql

::: Please

[Nagios-users] Advanced notifications configuration questions.

[Javier Domingo]

Hi everybody:
I'm working hard with Nagios 3.0.4 on Debian Lenny.
I have some questions. I can't find any information about these issues.
I have hosts with a first_notification_delay of 60 minutes.
And I have the whole day a Nagios controlling the same hosts. It's good to
know if the same host is turned on during the night, but my work period
begins at 10:00 am and it finish at 22:00 pm, I'm not a lucky boy [?]  So I
have configured a notification Period to 10:00 am to 22:00 pm.

Question 1: If a host goes into hard state CRITICAL, I know that Nagios
waits 60 minutes to send a notification, but What happens if the host
recovers before the first_notification_delay period ( for example, 30 min
before)?
Does it send the recovery notification or not?
Question 2: If a hard state happens at 21:59. Does Nagios wait until the
10:00 am of the day after to send the notification?
If the host recovers at 9:00 am of the day after is the notification message
cancelled?

Thanks a lot in advantace.
