Re: [Nagios-users] Why is check_openmanage so slow on PowerEdge R510?
Hi Trond, Am 13.04.2011 um 17:39 schrieb Trond Hasle Amundsen: The simple answer is that omreport commands take time. They represent the vast majority of the plugin execution time. First, thanks for the fast reaction. The reason that 'check_openmanage --only fans' takes significantly more time than the corresponding omreport command is that the plugin first runs 'omreport -?' to determine if this is a blade or not. If you add the time it takes to run 'omreport -?', the omreport fans command and perl interpreter time you should arrive at about the time it takes 'check_openmanage --only fans' to finish. OK, then this is the price for convenience. After having close looks into the alternative plugins I choosed this one because of the automagic, the very good documentation and the good practice Perl code. Congratulations - fine code. I will try check_linux_bonding too. The plugin is much faster if used in SNMP mode, especially if you lots of storage. Example from a 2950 with a couple of MD1000 shelves of extra storage: $ time ./check_openmanage -H foo OK - System: 'PowerEdge 2950 III', SN: 'XXX', 16 GB ram (8 dimms), 3 logical drives, 32 physical drives real0m1.725s user0m0.397s sys 0m0.013s Yesterday after posting my question I took a look in the Perl code for maybe finding the reason. And then I tried SNMP mode: root@xen10:/# time perl /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_openmanage -H localhost --only fans FANS OK - 5 fan probes checked real0m0.191s Thus over SNMP it is 3-4 times faster and CPU consumption is ~40% lower. Another question: I always get on all of the R510s (few days old): root@xen11:~# /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_openmanage Cache Battery 0 in controller 0 is Charging (Ready) [probably harmless] root@xen11:~# uptime 12:08:35 up 2 days, 1:22, 1 user, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 I wonder a little bit that the batteries are not full after some days powered, or if the information is wrong. Also I tried to '--blacklist bat_charge=0,0' (and other combinations), but blacklisting does not work.

[Nagios-users] Nagios from master/slave to chained configuration
Hi, I'm new to Nagios, but have been asked to add another Nagios server to our current configuration. Our current setup has a master Nagios server (master-nagios1) and a slave (slave-nagios1) that monitors a different part of the network. There are also 2 other standalone master servers (nagios-master2 and 3) monitoring their own networks. I've been asked to add another overview Nagios. So all it's checks set to passive and the 3 masters replicate to the overview Nagios server. Connecting the 2 standalone masters to the overview Nagios seems simple enough as a normal master/slave config, but I'm not certain whether the master/slave setup can be chained with the overview Nagios. My googlefu hasn't given me any answers but I'm assuming that if it's possible, I should set up master-nagios1 with ocdp/nsca/send-nsca so it's got the configuration of a master and a slave. So slave-nagios1 replicates to master-nagios1 which in turn replicates to the overview Nagios. Is anyone aware of obvious problems with the idea or know of any documentation covering this sort of configuration? The things I did find were all simple master/slave set ups.

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios from master/slave to chained configuration
Let me get this right , you want the slave to report to a master , but that master is a pass-through slave to another server which is the final master ? Why not just send to the final master and the other server as an easier way ? You can add the send line in the send_nsca script to submit the data to another server and that way you get the data on both servers , and adding the other slaves to the final server is not that complicated .

Introducing state in the plugin complicates things. There is another reason that you would want to know that the battery is charging, and I suspect that this is also why Dell has OMSA report it as a non-critical (warning) status. During (some of) the charge cycle, write-back for vdisks (i.e. use of the cache) is disabled. This means that the RAID performance is degraded, and depending on the nature of your disk usage you'll want to know about this when it happens. OMSA also lets you delay the charge cycle for up to seven days. Cheers, -- Trond H.

Re: [Nagios-users] pnp4nagios?
Thanks Benny.
I've configured pnp and it has been successfully graphing data since the actual
installation. However, I have nagios perfdata logs from the past year
(host_perfdata.log, service_perfdata.log) that are not being parsed that I want
to be included.
Currently my nagios.cfg is using the following commands:
define command{
command_nameprocess-service-perfdata
command_line /usr/bin/perl
/usr/local/pnp4nagios/libexec/process_perfdata.pl -d
/usr/local/pnp4nagios/var/perfdata/service-perfdata.log
}
define command{
command_nameprocess-host-perfdata
command_line /usr/bin/perl
/usr/local/pnp4nagios/libexec/process_perfdata.pl -d
/usr/local/pnp4nagios/var/perfdata/host-perfdata.log
}
Is there a certain method, configuration I need to follow if I want to include
this historical data?
Thanks,

Re: [Nagios-users] pnp4nagios?
that should be an RRD issue, not pnp4nagios at all. if you would like to include the historical data, you need a process to restore them into the RRD files. after that pnp4nagios can show all honestly and add new data for you from now on.

It’s only showing data from the install date forward. Thanks,JJ Jeremiah Jester Informatics Specialist Microbiology – Katze Lab 206-732-6185 From: Phil K.

I've noticed ubuntu and apt can mark some dependancies as unused and safe for removal depending on how you installed nagios in the first place.
