Re: [Nagios-users] SMS alert
I think it took me all of 15 minutes to get smstools3 installed/running and get our Samba75 modem installed/running. The samba75 uses the usb modem driver built into the kernel. Shows up as tty device. Just point smstools3 to that and voila! Evgeny N.Stepanov wrote: Hello. Actually sending SMS messages is not related to Nagios in any way. The same way as sending SMTP messages is not. But you can use both ways to send notifications. I now use smstools3 (http://smstools3.kekekasvi.com) for sending SMS notifications. This uses GSM modem or phone to send SMS messages connected to serial port of a server running Nagios. But you can use SMS gateways as well. www.nagiosexchange.org has lots of scripts to send SMS in either ways, be it SMS gateway or GSM terminal. The choice depends on your conditions. Using SMS gateways requires instant http (internet) access to the gateway site (usually) and you need to pay to operator. Nagios host is usually running in closed network segment for security reasons, so bringing it to outer world can be tricky. Using GSM terminal is simpler and more reliable in production environments AFAIK. And with GSM terminal you can implement more smart Nagios behaviour using incoming SMS and event handlers to issue command to Nagios, for instance. As i said, I use smstools3 with Siemens TC35i GSM terminal. Works as a breeze! There was some issues with bringing TC35i to work, but they are described in smstool3 FAQ and hardware compatibility documentation and i resolved them in couple of hours :-) (for example, it doesn't like hardware handshake, so i had to turn it off). I didn't get through sending messages in local (russian) alphabet, but that's coming soon. Also, there is a chance to get ICQ or jabber notifications as well. Check nagiosexchange.org.

Yes.

[Nagios-users] Compiling Perl check scripts
In our environment, I have roughly 1000 services being checked via perl scripts. Needless to say, it slows the nagios server down a bit *grin* What method has anyone used to compile perl scripts? I am using perl modules (mainly Net::SNMP, Net::DNS and various others) with the scripts. I tried perlcc but it didn't work. Any other ideas? Should I just bite the bullet and attempt to write a C app to do the functions of my perl scripts instead? I would really hate to do that, as my C skills don't go far beyond Hello World. -- Adam Kennedy Network Administrator Cyberlink International Phone: 888-293-3693 Fax: 888-293-3995 - This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.

[Nagios-users] Nagios box latancy + tuning
I'm having one heck of a time trying to get my service checks to be something reasonable. They are 60 seconds or less for a few minutes after starting nagios, then the service latency increases to 80 seconds or higher (usually if left go, it ranges in 120 to 160seconds or higher). Host check latency is 0 seconds. Host check is check_fping The various service checks are ping (via check_fping), roughly 5 snmp services per host, and telnet for a handful of them. There are 440 hosts, and roughly 1600 services being checked. I've followed the tuning guide on the nagios website and have done all applicable items, I think. The max_concurrent_checks is 900. Server hardware specs: - Intel Core 2 Duo 2.13Ghz - 3Ware 9550SX RAID card - Three Seagate 250Gb SATA drives running in RAID-5 - Broadcom Gigabit NIC, onboard - 3Gb of DDR2 5300 RAM - Linux Kernel 2.6.21.3 - Slackware 11.0 Any ideas? I'm going insane over here trying to figure this out. The same server also runs MySQL and Cacti. Cacti graphs roughly the same amount of services and the same number of hosts. For the tuning of nagios, I have cacti completely turned off. -- Adam Kennedy Network Administrator Cyberlink International Phone: 888-293-3693 x4352 Fax: 888-293-3995 - This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
