[Nagios-users] over writing services from templates
Hi all,
I seem to have a working solution but an confused as to why it works,
could some one please explain or suggest a better way to do this.
I apply service to hosts via, host-templates and wanted to change a
value for a service but just for one hosts.
I didnt want to add a new service / service template hoping i could
just over ride the value for just that one host:
I am running Nagios 3.2.3 and the simplified config looks like this:
service {
name service-check
command run-some-check.sh
max_check_attempts 1
hostgroup_name host_group1
}
host {
name host-template1
use generic
hostgroups +host_group1
register0
}
host {
name host1
use host-template1
}
host {
name host2
use host-template1
}
Now I wanted to change the value for max_check_attempts used by the
service for host2.
What I did was
service {
name service-check
command run-some-check.sh
max_check_attempts 3
host host2
}
This created duplicate a warning when doing a verbose config check,
but no warning on the normal config check and it allowed Nagios to
reload and used the values from the host defined service!
My questions are,
why does this work?
Is Nagios actually running both services but only showing one of
them in the gui and ill probably have some race condition between
them.
Is there a better way to do this?
Thanks for your help,
Ritchie

[Nagios-users] check_http encrypted link
Hey guys, I'm struggling to check a http link that's encrypted. The full url works ok in a browser but I get 'unable to open a TCP socket' error when I run 'check_http -H domain/encrypted link' from the command line. I've also tried 'check_http -H domain -u /encrypted link but that's not working either. Is check_http even able to check such a thing? Thanks in advance :) Micro Peripherals Limited.

[Nagios-users] Check_Openmanage configuration question
Hello all!
I have a question regarding the initial configuration of check_openmanage. I
downloaded the version of the script dated Feb 9 (I don't see a version number
in the script) and am attempting to use the script through SNMP.
I'm attempting to begin using check_openmanage with our Dell servers. I have
installed the Dell OMSA software on one server and it seems to be working just
fine. I configured my command definition in a simple fashion, according to the
installation guide:
# Dell Check openmanage
define command{
command_namecheck_openmanage
command_line$USER1$/check_openmanage -H $HOSTADDRESS$
}
I also configured my service definition in a simple fashion, according to the
installation guide:
define service{
use generic-service
host_name Server_Name
service_description Dell OMSA
check_command check_openmanage
}
However - my Nagios console is reporting the status as (null). Also, when I
attempt to run the script from the command line (note the file is saved as
check_openmanage with no file extension, I also tried check_openmanage.pl and
receive the same results), I receive a few errors
nagios@UbuntuTest:/usr/local/nagios/libexec$ ./check_openmanage 192.168.1.5
./check_openmanage: line 27: require: command not found
./check_openmanage: line 28: use: command not found
./check_openmanage: line 29: use: command not found
./check_openmanage: line 30: syntax error near unexpected token `('
./check_openmanage: line 30: `use POSIX qw(isatty ceil);'
I have searched online for a while now and come up mostly emptyhanded. If
someone could point me in the correct direction to get this working, I would be
most greatful! I'm almost certain it is something stupid or simple that I have
overlooked with setting this up.
Thanks,

Re: [Nagios-users] over writing services from templates
exclude host2 from the first service definition, such as:
service {
name service-check
command run-some-check.sh
max_check_attempts 1
hostgroup_name host_group1
host _name !host2
}

If by encrypted you mean served over SSL (i.e., https), then all you should have to do is include the -S parameter to check_http. You probably would want to do -p 443 also. -- WhatsUp Gold - Download Free Network Management Software The most intuitive, comprehensive, and cost-effective network management toolset available today.

[Nagios-users] Question about check_disk -L option
On Red Hat 6 clients, I need to monitor some NFS mount points for conditions like stale NFS file handles. The check_disk plugin describes the -L (--stat-remote-fs) option as providing this functionality. However, either I'm not understanding how the option works, or it's not working properly. Here is an example of what I'm seeing: # df -h /usr/local Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on oxygennfs48:/usr/local 250G 214G 37G86% /usr/local # # ./check_disk -w 20% -c 10% -p /usr/local DISK WARNING - free space: /usr/local 37846 MB (14% inode=98%);| /usr/local=218154MB;204800;230400;0;256000 # # ./check_disk -w 20% -c 10% -p /usr/local -L DISK UNKNOWN - free space:| # Does anyone have any experience using this option, or have any guesses why it's generating an error? -- David Wallis Principal Computer Engineer Information Technology Group Advanced Photon Source Argonne National Laboratory -- WhatsUp Gold - Download Free Network Management Software The most intuitive, comprehensive, and cost-effective network management toolset available today.

Re: [Nagios-users] Question about check_disk -L option
it's not an error, you specify to check /usr/local only and it's a remote fs, so no local fs will be checked and the -L option just test the access to nfs.
