[Nagios-users] service escalation on all services of all hosts
Hi, I'm having a problem with an example given in the Tips & Tricks
documentation page. Currently I'm running: Nagios Core 3.2.0
Anyway, the tip I'm trying is from here
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/nagioscore/3/en/objecttricks.html#serviceescalation
The particular tip reads:
All Services On Same Host:
If you want to create service escalations for all services assigned to a
particular host, you can use a wildcard in the service_description directive.
The definition below would create a service escalation for all services on host
HOST1. All the instances of the service escalation would be identical (i.e.
have the same contact groups, notification interval, etc.).
If you feel like being particularly adventurous, you can specify a wildcard in
both the host_name and service_description directives. Doing so would create a
service escalation for all services that you've defined in your configuration
files.
##
So I tried the following:
define serviceescalation {
nameemail-all
first_notification 1
last_notification 0
notification_interval 120
contact_groups ops-group
register 0
}
define serviceescalation {
use email-all
host_name *
service_description *
}
And when I go to restart nagios I get the following:
Error: Could not expand hostgroups and/or hosts specified in service (config
file '/etc/nagios3/conf.d/services.cfg', starting on line 34)
Error processing object config files!
Anyone know why this is a problem? Am I missing something in the
documentation, or is it just incorrect?

Re: [Nagios-users] Fwd: Question about NDOUtils DB population
Ok great information, thank you. data_processing_options is -1 (process all) which looks correct. Also the data broker is correct for Nagios 2. My config_output_options are set to 2 however. From what I have read, this would explain why the rest of my database is not getting populated. I will assume I have too much load to run at 1 or 3 for long. What is the correct and lowest impact process for updating the table now? Set the option to 3, reload ndo2db, then set back to 2 and reload again? Will this work, or any other better ways of doing it? Thanks. On 6/6/2011 11:03 AM, Michael Friedrich wrote: > Gene Horodecki wrote: >> Sorry if this is a repost.

[Nagios-users] Help with Plugins
Greetings, I have only been familiar with Nagios for a few weeks, so please bare with me. I have installed Nagios 3.2.3 with plugins 1.4.15 on Ubuntu Server 10.04. I am currently monitoring a few Windows servers and I would like to monitor switches and routers with check_snmp and check_mrtgtraf found in usr/local/nagios/libexec. I am failing to understand how to take a plugin and turn it into a command, and then a service. Any help with this would be extremely appreciated.

Sorry if this is a repost. I jumped the gun and posted before I was a member of the list and didn't see my emali go through. Hi there, I have a production environment that runs Nagios + NDOUtils and I got called in because the environment got neglected for a year. When I look at the NDOUtils database, it looks like someone tried to rebuild it because it is populating with statehistory but the hosts, hostgroups, and services tables are blank. I'd like to try to fill these tables in but I don't really understand when NDOUtils populates these tables. I found the original dbconfig script but it just creates the schema with no data.

[Nagios-users] Reporting emails
Hey guys, I'm fairly new to Nagios and I'm monitoring about 100 hosts, each doing several checks and things are going great. I'd like to take things up a notch by somehow getting emailed report daily and weekly to tell me what host/services where down, when and for how long? In essence I'm trying to create a systems issues report that I can give to my directory to justify my existence.. :) Many thanks. Tristan Micro Peripherals Limited.

Subject: [Nagios-users] Monitoring Windows Mount Points
Dear fellow Nagios users,
I was just wondering if anyone is monitoring Windows mount points? If
yes, are there any plugins available for it?
I tried searching the archive and Google but couldn't find anything
relevant.
Any advise/pointers are appreciated.
Thanks
Hi,
What do you want to monitor exactly?
Do you want to check if a share is available remotely or are you running
the check from the Windows machine?
We use Perl scripts running smbclient:
$cmd = '/usr/bin/smbclient //' . $host . '/' . $share . ' -U "' .
$username . '" "' . $password . '" -c "dir" 2>/dev/null';
In this case this output is the parsed to check for the age of a
particular file, but once you have the output you can do what you want
with it.
So far these are the error codes I am aware of and what they mean:
if ($lastLine =~ m/Error NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME/) {
print "UNKNOWN: Can't connect to $host\n";
exit 3;
} elsif ($lastLine =~ m/NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME/) {
print "UNKNOWN: Can't find share $share\n";
exit 3;
} elsif ($lastLine =~ m/NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED/) {
print "UNKNOWN: Could not connect to $host, is SMB enabled and $share
shared?\n";
exit 3;
} elsif ($lastLine =~ m/NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE/) {
print "WARNING: Username/Password incorrect\n";
exit 1;
} elsif ($lastLine =~ m/NT_STATUS_ACCOUNT_LOCKED_OUT/) {
print "CRITICAL: Account Locked\n";
exit 2;
} elsif ($lastLine =~ m/NT_STATUS_CONNECTION_REFUSED/) {
print "UNKNOWN: Connection refused.\n";
exit 3;
}
Hope this helps.
