Re: [Nagios-users] Service Escalation via Host Group
not sure with the cause of your problem
maybe you can check the values of use_regexp_matching and
use_true_regexp_matching.
but by your configuration, all services will be escalated, not only
services of norm-notify.

[Nagios-users] Service Escalation via Host Group
Hi,
I would like to have host and service escalations for all hosts that
are in a certain host group. The following hostescalation definition
seems to work fine:
define hostescalation {
hostgroup_name norm-notify
contact_groups admins-mail
first_notification 1
last_notification 0
notification_interval 120
escalation_options d,u,r
escalation_period 24x7
}
define hostescalation {
hostgroup_name norm-notify
contact_groups admins-sms
first_notification 2
last_notification 0
notification_interval 120
escalation_options d,u,r
escalation_period 24x7
}
The analogous service escalation definition is ignored:
define serviceescalation {
host_name *
service_description *
hostgroup_name norm-notify
contact_groups admins-mail
first_notification 1
last_notification 0
notification_interval 120
escalation_options w,u,c,r
escalation_period 24x7
}
define serviceescalation {
host_name *
service_description *
hostgroup_name norm-notify
contact_groups admins-sms
first_notification 2
last_notification 0
notification_interval 120
escalation_options w,u,c,r
escalation_period 24x7
}
When a service on a host which is member of host group norm-notify
goes down, notifications go out to the contact group that is mentioned
in the service definition. The service escalation definition seems to
be ignored.
Any idea what might be going wrong?
Greetings
Marc

I don't think it works like that. Personally I don't bother with servicegroups hardly at all. I use hostgroups to group various kinds of host together. I then use the hostgroup in the service definition to apply that service type to all the hosts in the group. These concepts are explained in.. http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/objecttricks.html I also recommend the book "Nagios" by Wolfgang Barth (pub. No Starch Press) as he has a quite readable way of introducing a lot of the concepts you need to understand when designing a Nagios configuration. You'll find that in Nagios there are usually about six ways to achieve roughly the same thing. Which one is 'best' will depend on what you want to do and your own preference. hth, Jim -- Learn how Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) One Node allows customers to consolidate database storage, standardize their database environment, and, should the need arise, upgrade to a full multi-node Oracle RAC database without downtime or disruption http://p.sf.net/sfu/oracle-sfdevnl ___ 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] Has anyone written plugin to monitor IIS App Worker Process Size ?
I'm running NSClient++ on some of my web servers and I was looking for ideas on how you might monitor IIS worker process size. We host a number of websites and periodically we will discover one the worker processes has grown pretty big. I am looking for a method to track largest memory usage amongst IIS worker processes on Windows 2008 server. I have some ideas on how to script the check but my solution would have privileged account dump process information to a text file and the plugin would just be a perl script to parse the text files.

Yes, it's quite easy to configure. You need to define two contacts, one for each of the email addresses, then you can specfy which contact will receive the notification using the 'contacts' directive in your service definition. See: http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/objectdefinitions.html#service and http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/objectdefinitions.html#contact In fact you might find it best to set up contactgroups too, which makes it easier to move people from one contactgroup to another without editing all your service definitions. hth, Jim -- Learn how Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) One Node allows customers to consolidate database storage, standardize their database environment, and, should the need arise, upgrade to a full multi-node Oracle RAC database without downtime or disruption http://p.sf.net/sfu/oracle-sfdevnl ___ 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] Notification email to different addresses
Wilfred, Nagios can be configured for notifications on a per service level. : Each service definition has a option that specifies what contact groups receive notifications for that particular service. Each contact group can contain one or more individual contacts. When Nagios sends out a service notification, it will notify each contact that is a member of any contact groups specified in the option of the service definition. You can get the info you need here ( for Nagios core 3.x, Nagios XI should have simular info in its docs ) http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/notifications.html http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/objectdefinitions.html Steve > From: wilf...@stachanov.com > To: nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net > Date: Thu, 30 Dec 2010 15:19:37 +0100 > Subject: [Nagios-users] Notification email to different addresses > > Dear all, > > Hopefully the people here can help me.

No, I don't think you are missing anything. I read somewhere (probably Wolfgang Barth's excellent book) that in Nagios each service should be taken to be the combination of both the service_description *and* the host_name. Certainly in Nagios it is not possible to have a service which exists without a host. If you look at the objects.cache file (probably under /usr/local/nagios/var/) then you will see how Nagios stores each service definition. Even if you have defined services based on a hostgroup, Nagios will actually internally regard each service on each host as a separate entity - every service will have an entry for both host_name and service_description. The inbuilt service/host dependency and the host parent/child relationships are important for Nagios in determining when it should notify - in particular it won't notify for a service if the host is down and usually won't notify for a host if the parent host is down. The logic Nagios uses for determining dependencies and reachability make Nagios a very powerful tool for ensuring you only receive notifications for those hosts and services which are actually causing the problem, not all the hosts and services which are down as a result of the underlying problem. I agree with you it can be a little counter-intuitive at times. In particular if you only have one service (for example ping) associated with a host, it's not always obvious whether it would be appropriate to acknowledge the service or the host when the ping fails. -- Learn how Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) One Node allows customers to consolidate database storage, standardize their database environment, and, should the need arise, upgrade to a full multi-node Oracle RAC database without downtime or disruption http://p.sf.net/sfu/oracle-sfdevnl ___ 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

I am still confused by why the service def's have a filed for hostname. As you point out, services don't necisarily relate to hosts. They are functions provided, or statuses of a machine. and I would think thta servicegroups would be where the assoctation betwen the service, and thehosts that you want to check for that service wouldbe.

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios notification

I want to achieve the following: Nagios should send notification when a host/service state goes critical, down, etc Notification should be sent only once when a state changes and finally I want to know how many ping packets is ideal for nagios to send First off. Do NOT ever respond this way. You are sending a load of crap to the mailinglist which is totally not relevant to your message. Considere yourself in read-only mode if you are subscribed in digest mode. Set the notification interval to a significant high number and you would get it once for all intends and purposes. The defaults should be good enough for you. We can't determine those for you. Use your own common sense to see what fits your needs.
