[Nagios-users] nagios and nsclient++ wont work
Hi there, I guess that here are alot users who have made it working...Nagios on a debian system to monitor a Win2003 Standard Server. For testing purposes both machines are virtualized, the Debian is in a VirtualBox and the W2K3Std Server is virtualized with VmWare. I'm just saying that to be as precise as somehow possible. So, I downloaded the latest stable nsclient++ on the W2K3 from sourceforge, as it is suggested. I walked through the install process as stated in the Reference Manual, but the nsclient seems to be misconfigured, because I get errors once I run nsclient++ /test. Neither do I get the Systray Icon in the systray. I said nsclient++ Systray install to get it installed and there the client didn't complain about whatsoever. And the nsclient doesnt complain once I start him, but as said the /test option shows errors: # C:\Programme\NSClient++nsclient++ /test Launching test mode - client mode d NSClient++.cpp(1216) Enabling debug mode... d NSClient++.cpp(557) Attempting to start NSCLient++ - 0.3.9.327 2011-08-16 NSCore not loaded...

Yes printf works I had the same version of Nagios with the same config files working OK with fedora 14 It is only when I installed it on fedora 16 the notifications don't work I think it's a bug within Nagios Did you also do printf 'this is a test' | /bin/mail -s test_email em...@mydomain.com ?

Re: [Nagios-users] notification emails
Did you by accident disable the notifications? On the Nagios web interface, click on Tactical Overview. At the end of the page (Monitoring Features) check that Notifications are green/enabled. It would make sense as you don't have SELinux and all commands seem to work from command-line (you also checked them with your Nagios user, not root, right?).

Re: [Nagios-users] monitor printer from Windows server
Hi Robert,
This sounds like the kind of thing that I am interested in. I have not done
any powershell scripting before so would be very interested in seeing what you
have if you are able to release it; as well as your integration with NSClient
and Nagios.
Thanks
James

I've had good luck using System.Printing from Powershell and then running the
scripts from NSClient++.
I just wrote the PowerShell Scripts to use the standard nagios plugin status
codes.
I used the following links to develop the PowerShell scripts:
http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/PrintServerManagementps1-7676ed28
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.printing.aspx
If there is interest, I'll ask my boss about sharing the PowerShell scripts.

Besides of course the Spooler Service, you should also monitor the Windows
Event Log.
I've experienced a lot of driver issues on an old Windows print server which
temporarily caused the affected printer(s) to appear as 'offline'. Such
problems appeared in the event log as Warnings with the message content
something about the driver. That was on a Windows Server 2003, but I think such
driver problems are still logged to the Event Log.

I query the windows performance counter for number of print jobs
spooling. If a printer breaks then usually this counter starts
ramping up quite rapidly as more and more print jobs get stuck in the
queue.
For example, the [external alias] section of your nsc.ini (assuming
you use NSClient++), you can have:-
alias_CheckCounter-PrintQJobs=CheckCounter Counter:jobs=\Print
Queue(_Total)\Jobs ShowAll MaxWarn=250 MaxCrit=500
Then your service definition would look something like this:-
define service {
host_name printserver1,printserver2
service_description PrintQJobs
use srv-pnp,generic-service
check_command check_nrpe!-c PrintQJobs
max_check_attempts 6
check_interval 15
retry_interval 5
contact_groups notify-admins
notes Records the number of Active
Jobs on a Print Server
register1
}
And the command definition I use is just a generic one for any nrpe
check like so:-
define command {^M
command_namecheck_nrpe
command_line$USER1$/check_nrpe -H
$HOSTADDRESS$ -u $ARG1$
register1
}
Our servers aren't quite as recent as Windows 7, but I guess the
counter would still be the same.
I hope that helps.
Jim

[Nagios-users] Passive monitoring multiple servers with 1 NAT IP
Hi, in the case where I want to monitor several servers in a remote office where all outbound traffic from that office originates from a single IP (NAT) is there any way I can monitor those with Nagios without putting a Nagios server in the remote office? On the face of it it would seem impossible as Nagios identifies hosts by their IP (and therefore each needs a unique IP) but would be good to get that confirmed or otherwise, thanks for any ideas, Andy. -- All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity, and more.

Thanks a lot to both of you Regards Niels P.S.: Sorry for not quoting, but its hard to do that on a Blackberry :-( 2011/12/2 Assaf Flatto nag...@flatto.net: I am trying to understand what you are saying is not working , as the log snippet does not say anything about tests coming from the Nagios server , if it is about the Tray icon,the answer is in the log : \TrayIcon.cpp(53) Failed to load: ChangeWindowMessageFilter aparently we are not on Vista... So what are you trying to do ?? - Original Message - From: Niels Jende nielsje...@googlemail.com To: nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net Sent: Friday, 2 December, 2011 8:10:30 AM Subject: [Nagios-users] nagios and nsclient++ wont work Hi there, I guess that here are alot users who have made it working...Nagios on a debian system to monitor a Win2003 Standard Server. For testing purposes both machines are virtualized, the Debian is in a VirtualBox and the W2K3Std Server is virtualized with VmWare. I'm just saying that to be as precise as somehow possible. So, I downloaded the latest stable nsclient++ on the W2K3 from sourceforge, as it is suggested. I walked through the install process as stated in the Reference Manual, but the nsclient seems to be misconfigured, because I get errors once I run nsclient++ /test. Neither do I get the Systray Icon in the systray. I said nsclient++ Systray install to get it installed and there the client didn't complain about whatsoever. And the nsclient doesnt complain once I start him, but as said the /test option shows errors: # C:\Programme\NSClient++nsclient++ /test Launching test mode - client mode d NSClient++.cpp(1216) Enabling debug mode... d NSClient++.cpp(557) Attempting to start NSCLient++ - 0.3.9.327 2011-08-16 NSCore not loaded...

Re: [Nagios-users] Passive monitoring multiple servers with 1 NAT IP

On the face of it it would seem impossible as Nagios identifies hosts by their IP (and therefore each needs a unique IP) but would be good to get that confirmed or otherwise, Yes you can do that no problem. Send the checks to the Nagios server using send_nsca and configure all the hosts in Nagios with passive host and service checks. You can use freshness checking to alert you if no checks have been received at all lately from the remote host. The send_nsca transmission identifies the host to Nagios so it won't matter if the address is NATted. Note that for the active check in Nagios you will need to use check_dummy or similar so that if the freshness check fails then Nagios will run this and alert you to the fact the freshness check has failed. I normally use something like .. check_dummy!3 UNKNOWN: Nagios didn't receive a check result lately from the server! You haven't said if the servers are Unix, Windows or what. If Windows, then it's easy to configure the NSClient++ agent to send checks using NSCA. If Unix or linux you will need to install send_nsca and the relevant plugins and run the checks from cron, maybe using the nsca_wrapper script which you'll find on Nagios Exchange. You will of course need to configure NSCA on your Nagios server to receive the incoming checks. hth, Jim -- All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity, and more.
