[Nagios-users] Check that processes run as more than one user
I need to check on a Windows server that a processes is running, but for two users. (So two instances should run, one as user1 and one as user2). I'm running nc_net on the server (which is running Win server 2008 R2) and can test for the process running using something like: check_command check_nt!PROCSTATE -l myprogram.exe This will say OK as long as at least one of the processes is running, but I need a warning/critical if not both of them are running. The -l parameter can take more than one process name, so I tried doubling it, (and even tripling it), but that seemed to work just as if it was only one. check_command check_nt!PROCSTATE -l myprogram.exe,myprogram.exe I cannot find anything in the docs about specifying user name.

The reason I asked about parity is because I got the exact same error with Verizon and Sprint, except that qpage would decide that the page was not sent (when it had been), so it would retry five times (thereby sending five identical pages).

As I understand it, on the chile I need to invoke something that looks like: /usr/share/nagios/sbin/submit_check_result $HOSTNAME$ '$SERVICEDESC$' $SERVICESTATE$ '$OUTPUT$' That script then does something like this: /usr/bin/printf %s\t%s\t%s\t%s\n $1 $2 $return_code $4 | /usr/sbin/send_nsca pnoc -c /etc/send_nsca.cfg Ny current issue is that $OUTPUT$ does ot seem to be getting expanded. Insteadit is literaly showing up on the Nagios run time web screen as $OUTPUT$. Check the docs for what macros are available for obsessive host and service check commands. Or use merlin. It was designed for things like this. losure for the list archives: THis sugestion led to a Google search for Nagios Macors Which led to a page listing the macros and where they are avail;able. Turns out that the actual macro is $HOSTOUTPT. Question, why does the Nagios parser not complain about invalid macros? Because they could be environment variables. The syntax for describing macros is a bit fragile. -- Andreas Ericsson andreas.erics...@op5.se OP5 AB www.op5.se Tel: +46 8-230225 Fax: +46 8-230231 Considering the successes of the wars on alcohol, poverty, drugs and terror, I think we should give some serious thought to declaring war on peace. -- Lotusphere 2011 Register now for Lotusphere 2011 and learn how to connect the dots, take your collaborative environment to the next level, and enter the era of Social Business. http://p.sf.net/sfu/lotusphere-d2d ___ 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

[Nagios-users] Antoher distributed config question
Sorry for the torment of questions on this. We are trying to get this working with end of year money, so we are supposed to have it working before Jan 1 :-) We have the parent and child talking to each other using NSCA. We are getting updates on the child system on both the host detail, and service detail screens. On the parent system only the service detail screen is updating. The host detail screen continues to show PENDING, with the red X thta indicates active checks are disabled. I am looking at the data stream coming in on the pipe, and all I see are messages like this: [1292539309] PROCESS_SERVICE_CHECK_RESULT;AW210B;RDP;0;PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 0.37 ms Should I be seeing ones with something like HOST_SERVICE_CHECK_RESULT ? -- A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.

Re: [Nagios-users] CPU monitor for a single Linux user spaceprocess ?
I also modified one of the other plugins to do a user-space, check_ps.pl I think was it, so I added a -u user option that basically does a ps aux for all that user and then totals all the results. I can probably get a copy if you wanted it. Mainly because I don't use snmp for process checks is why I did it as a local check.

Is this not true? Hi, Yes it is true. You don't need to install Java on your Nagios server to use check_jmx4perl. You just have to deploy a .war on your TomCat (and certainly GlassFish, I didn't try it) servers and then you just have to send some HTTP request to your server to obtain readings about your JVM. That's why I choose it. But for now, it seems it is only capable to check Java on JEE servers and not Java on its own as I need right now.
