2012-03-26 Thread Manish_Kmr
Hope you are doing fine list,

There is one problem which I am facing continuously. I see service check time 
out issue happening very often for few remote servers. What can be the issue 
and probable fix for the same.

Thanks,

[Nagios-users] Installing the opmon agent or nrpe client on a virtual host

2012-03-26 Thread Kaplan, Andrew H.
Hello --

We run a series of virtual servers on a variety of Linux and Windows hosts. I 
wanted to get feedback from the group
on the merits, if any, of installing the nrpe and opmon agent clients on the 
virtual hosts respective operating systems.

What are the group members' thoughts on this?

Thanks.

out of curiosity, what hyper-visor you are using for these VMs?
i'm building nagios lab on VM right now.

[Nagios-users] Nagios implied and additive inheritance

2012-03-26 Thread Jim Winkle
I'd like to set up Nagios so that:
1) In general, contact_groups for a host are notified about problems with the 
host and any service on the host.
2) Occasionally, we'd like other contact_groups to be notified about problems 
with certain services on the host.

If I'm understanding the documentation at 
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/nagioscore/3/en/objectinheritance.html 
correctly, it indicates that #1 can be done using implied inheritance and #2 by 
using additive inheritance, but it's not working as expected.  I've found other 
posts from people with the same issue, but never any resolution.

For example, if I define:

define host{
    host_name   linux-server
    contact_groups  linux-admins
    ...
    }

define service{
    host_name   linux-server
    service_description l_proc_sshd
    contact_groups  +management
    ...
    }


I would like this to be equivalent to:

define service{
    host_name   linux-server
    service_description l_proc_sshd
    contact_groups  linux-admins,management
    ...
    }

But instead, the implied inheritance of linux-admins is ignored, and it's 
equivalent to:

define service{
    host_name   linux-server
    service_description l_proc_sshd
    contact_groups  management
    ...
    }

So contact_groups is overwritten rather than added to.  No warnings/errors were 
generated about the plus sign being used inappropriately or anything else.

Am I misunderstanding the documentation?  Is this possibly a bug?

If this is not the way it's intended to work, could Nagios be easily enhanced 
to support this?  It seems very logical and powerful, and apparently other 
people are thinking along the same lines as I am.  I'm not using escalations, 
but a cursory read makes it appear to be supported there.

Thanks in advance for any light you can shed on this!

I couldn't get it to work that way, either.  Instead, I defined a 
service escalation that activates on the first notification.  Something 
like this might work:

define serviceescalation {
host_name   linux-server
service_description 1_proc_sshd
contact_groups  management
first_notification  1
last_notification   0
escalation_options  w,c,r
}

I assign services to hosts with hostgroups, so I have a hostgroup_name 
in my escalation definition instead of just a host_name.
