[Nagios-users] Is it possible to recieve a single global notification for all checks?
Hello Nginx, I have a single host, and dozens of services of the same type (http check) monitored. When a service goes down it is normal for others to report CRITICAL at the same time. Intead of generating a notification for each independant service can I have a SINGLE email consolidate the report on whats on CRITICAL? Perhaps using a global handler, however how would this work with the part of one email per minute if my understanding is that the global event handler runs independtly for each service?

[Nagios-users] About the global handler.
Hello, Iam trying to use a global handler so that it invokes a failover by distinguishing first if the host is CRITICAL, if its then it should failover all services under that host and ignore the number of services of that particular host in trouble and NOT try to failover specific services. If specific services of that host are in trouble AND the host state is OK then it should failover only the specific services. Is this something that can be achieved by a global host handler? If yes how? according to what i read i cannot pass specific service arguments to the global handler. It only gets fed the nagios macros so it cannot distinguish what action to take according to the circumstances. Alex -- Learn the latest--Visual Studio 2012, SharePoint 2013, SQL 2012, more!

[Nagios-users] Event Handler for a group of services.
Hello Nagios Community, I have a host that has a series of checks (application checks, network stack checks, and others), i understand that event handlers can be set for specific services but what occurs when I want to execute an event handler based on a selective group of service states, or perhaps an event handler for a service group? If I assign the event handler for the host, its pointless because the actual host check can be OK but still have speific service checks in progress.

Guys, Those messages didn't show up in /var/log/messages ? That's normally where I catch that stuff with a log monitor. No, they didn't show up in syslog, but perhaps they should have. What application are you using to monitor syslog log messages such as SEC[1] works really well. You set it up as an in-line destination on your central loghost, with actions that send events back to nagios via NSCA. -tt [1] http://simple-evcorr.sourceforge.net/ Guys, thanks for the tips.

[Nagios-users] Plugin for dmesg/kernel messages
Hi, I've located a few plugins that I could modify, but does someone know of a plugin that can be used to monitor dmesg for general kernel issues? I noticed a ext4 filesystem issue on one of the servers, and realized I should be monitoring for kernel crashes, oops, or other failures. I realize there's already plugins for monitoring disk activity -- I'm looking for something specifically to monitor kernel messages. Thanks for any ideas.

Re: [Nagios-users] Disabling a host from all checks
Hi, I don't know how kosher this is, but I worked around that issue by disabling active checks and disabling notifications, then entering a passive check that showed the host as up. That way I wouldn't see reports about the downed system until I re-enabled active checks. Did that work for all services on that host as well? Or was it necessary to create a passive check (or even possible) for each service?

Re: [Nagios-users] Disabling a host from all checks
Hi, I recently had to do the same on one of my Nagios systems (v3.5.0 on a Centos 6.4 host). From the Nagios Admin web page (xx.xx.xx.xx/nagios), select Hosts, select the host that was removed. On the right side of the page is a list of Host Commands where you can 'Disable active checks of this host' and 'Disable notifications for this host'. The same can be performed for services and checks, but I am not sure if they are needed once you disable active checks. I didn't go that far when I removed the host. Thanks for the info. I've done this, but the host and all services were still being reported as down. This was particularly evident in the firefox nagios monitor plugin, so the host is still reported being available for status by nagios. It was indeed necessary for me to remove the configuration for this host, including my escalations, services, and hosts file. Had I stopped monitoring it before the host went down, none of that would have been necessary, but there was no way to bring it back up.

[Nagios-users] Disabling a host from all checks
Hi, I have a nagios-3.4.4 system on fc17 that's working properly. I physically removed a server without scheduling downtime or indicating to nagios to disable all checks. Now that the server has been removed, I'm receiving these constant alerts saying the host is down and connection refused on all services. How can I remove this host from nagios checks without having to edit the configuration file and removing all references to the hostname in all of them? I'm hoping there's an easier way. If it was possible, I'd put the host back into production, let nagios check all the services, then mark the system to not check this host, but I can't. Any ideas greatly appreciated.

Hello!
Try to use this command_line:

/home/nagios/.ssh/id_rsa -E -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no -C
/home/nagios/checkRAID.sh

Greetings, all. I’ve googled the subject above and evaluated the answers
I’ve found but haven’t yet found info that pinpoints my issue.
** **
I’m running Nagios Core 3.2.1 on RedHat 5.8. This installation has been
running for a few years, I just inherited it’s care and maintenance
recently. On one of my monitored servers I write a script “checkRAID.sh”
that calls another piece of code, looks at the results, and returns either
a 0 or a 2 (the result will always be either good or critical, depending on
whether the RAID controller is unhappy).
** **
Nagios runs as user “nagios”. The remote machine is configured to allow
user “nagios” to log in without a password, using a key pair. This works.*
***
** **
In /usr/local/nagios/etc/checkcommands.cfg I have :
define command{
command_namecheck_raid
command_line/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_by_ssh -H $HOSTNAME -l
nagios -i /home/nagios/.ssh/id_rsa -E -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no -C
/home/nagios/checkRAID.sh
}
** **
When I become nagios (“su – nagios”) and run that script, I get:
[nagios@nagios ~]$ /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_by_ssh -H remote
server IP -l nagios -i /home/nagios/.ssh/id_rsa -E -o
StrictHostKeyChecking=no -C /home/nagios/checkRAID.sh
Check failed
[nagios@nagios ~]$ echo $?
2
[nagios@nagios ~]$
** **
That “Check failed” line is what’s written to stdout just before returning
an exit code of 2. This shows me that the remote script is working fine,
and that the local nagios user is able to execute it with no problems.
However, once I add an entry to services.cfg to tie this service check to
my remote host and give it time to run the command, when I look at nagios’
“Services” page it shows :
check_raid CRITICAL 06-10-2013 21:17:250d 6h
14m 29s3/3 (Return code of 127 is out of bounds - plugin may be
missing)
** **
This has me baffled. The return code is quite clearly 2. ** **
** **
I recently set debug_level to -1 and restarted. I’m hoping that the debug

Re: [Nagios-users] Escalation issues
Hi, I have also interval_length=60 in nagios.cfg. I don't understand why admins-escal isn't consulted after three consecutive attempts at communicating with the service. What am I doing wrong? This is a silly question, but are there contacts who are members of the admins-escal group? And do they have service_notification_options that overlap the ones defined in your escalation? I haven't tried using templates for escalations yet. Have you tried defining an escalation without using a template? Does the config page for service escalations show anything? The URL would end up being something like: http://your_nagios_host/nagios/cgi-bin/config.cgi?type=serviceescalationsexpand=mailhost Thanks for the info. I've ended up almost completely rebuilding the configuration, trying to understand how it all works and get notifications working, and stop alerting either too late or too many times. I have something that at least works now, but I'm continuing to make changes to improve it.

[Nagios-users] clamav socket check times out
Hi, I have an fc17 box with nagios-3.4.4 and using the clamd plugin, among others, to check on my systems. For some reason the clamd plugin very frequently times out when run through nrpe: command[check_procs_clamd]=/usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_clamd -H /var/spool/amavisd/clamd.sock -t 15 Even with a timeout period of 15s, it still very frequently reports the following: [1367955948] SERVICE ALERT: mail01;PROCS-clamd;CRITICAL;SOFT;1;CRITICAL - Socket timeout after 15 seconds [1367955958] SERVICE ALERT: mail01;PROCS-clamd;OK;SOFT;2;CLAMD OK - 3.568 second response time on socket /var/spool/amavisd/clamd.sock [PONG] This occurs on multiple servers, not just this mail01 system, and even when the system is idle. The plugin comes from the package nagios-plugins-tcp-1.4.16-5.fc17.x86_64 and I'm using clamav-0.97.7. What is the procedure the check_clamd process uses to query the socket? What could be the reason for this timeout occurring so frequently? Could it be an issue with the maximum number of connections for clamd?

[Nagios-users] Variables for determining time before first alert
Hi all, I'm trying to configure a nagios server that was set up a long time ago, but has never worked correctly. I'm trying to understand all the variables that are involved in controlling the time before the first notify-by-email alert is sent for a regular service and one that I've configured as critical.

[Nagios-users] Help reviewing current configuration
Hi all,
I've worked hours and hours on trying to get these notifications
working properly and I'm still confused. I really hoped someone could
review my configuration to determine where I might be doing something
wrong, and provide any suggestions for improvement. I have a handful
of critical servers that I'd like to be notified by within two or
three minutes of there being a problem, such as the web server having
been stopped.
It's my understand that I first define this as a service, while in
parallel define varying types of escalations - a regular escalation
and a critical escalation. Both of these rely on checking the host for
service issues max_check_attempts times, and when that number is
reached, an event trigger occurs and the service is escalated. Perhaps
I don't understand the link between how a service is in a failed state
and a serviceescalation directive is initiated. How are they connected
or linked?
If I have the first notification for an escalated service set to 1,
and the last set to 10, with a notification_interval set to 2, there
would effectively be two minutes between each notification, correct?
I've included a few macros that I've built below, along with the
services to which they belong, and hoped someone could review them to
see where I might be going wrong.
With the configuration below, it seems I'm only notified at the 10m
mark, which I guess is the notification_interval set in the
standard-service-24x7 macro. The service never seems to escalate to
critical-services, where I should receive an alert after every second
check of the host.
define service {
namestandard-service-24x7
active_checks_enabled 1
passive_checks_enabled 1
parallelize_check 1
obsess_over_service 1

}
# test critical services
define serviceescalation {

}
Is there other information I should provide to better troubleshoot this?
Any help greatly appreciated.

Re: [Nagios-users] Variables for determining time before first alert
Hi, Hi, I apologize for the terse reply, but I think you will find all the answers to your questions here - http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/objectdefinitions.html Thanks for your help. I've actually read quite a bit of that, and I'm still confused. It wasn't clear that max_check_attempts is the number of attempts that are made for each iteration, before another alert is triggered. The check_interval is the number of minutes between each check. The notification_interval is how often to send an alert to an admin about a change in status of a service. Does that sound correct? I still don't understand this part: How does the notification_interval in the regular service definition compare with the notification_interval specified in one of the serviceescalation sections? In other words, if I set notification_interval to 10 minutes for regular services, and notification_interval to 5 minutes for escalated services, will I receive two notifications? I realize I could try this, but there seems to be so many other variables involved that I'd like to be sure my understanding is correct. What is the point of the notification_interval in a standard service definition? How is it triggered to use one of the escalation macros? If I have notification_interval specified in the escalation sections, I would think it would override the higher setting?

[Nagios-users] Escalation issues
Hi all,
I have a working nagios system on fc17, but I don't think I have the
escalations configured properly. I have the following service
templates defined:
At what point are the services converted to being escalated services
in my sample below?
define service {

passive_checks_enabled 1
parallelize_check 1
obsess_over_service 1
check_freshness 0

process_perf_data 1
retain_status_information 1
retain_nonstatus_information1
max_check_attempts 5
# number of min between checks
normal_check_interval 4
retry_check_interval1
is_volatile 0
check_period24x7
contact_groups admins
# re-notify every ten minutes
notification_interval 10
notification_period 24x7
notification_optionsw,u,c,r
register0
}
define serviceescalation {
namecritical-services
first_notification 3
last_notification 10
#contact_groups linux-admins,noc-admins,techs-phones
contact_groups admins-escal
notification_interval 10
register0
}
I also have a number of services configured such as this:
define service {
use standard-service-24x7
host_name mailhost
service_description MAILQ-pre
check_command check-host-alive
}
define serviceescalation {
use critical-services
host_name mailhost
service_description MAILQ-pre
}
I have also interval_length=60 in nagios.cfg. I don't understand why
admins-escal isn't consulted after three consecutive attempts at
communicating with the service. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
Alex

Re: [Nagios-users] About nsca and nrpe...
Does anyone have an idea of why it's not possible to send passive results over nrpe ??? NRPE is not designed for passive checks. The reason you can't send passive results over NRPE is because the only communication NRPE has with Nagios is through the output and exit code of check_nrpe. In other words, it does not submit the results directly to Nagios, rather it relies on Nagios running the command directly (the definition of an active check). NSCA is a solution for passive monitoring. You mentioned it in your subject line but not your message body: is there some reason you don't want to use NSCA, or something you're confused about regarding it?

Re: [Nagios-users] Creating a criteria:
No, this will only check once every 5 minutes. The max_check_attempts
directive is for retrying after a failed check. You need to find or
write a plugin that does all 10 requests itself and then set it up as a
*passive* check in Nagios. I believe it must be passive, otherwise
Nagios will kill it for running too long.

The format looks like this: [1342314314] SERVICE;rogue;PROCS-httpd;OK;1/5;HARD;1342314216;1342314396;ACTIVE;1;1;1;1342292439;0;OK;124332003;0;540;0;0;0;1;0;0;1;0;0.00;0;1;1;1;OK - 16 processes running with command name httpd, UID = 48 (webd) Perhaps there's a perl module that will parse the existing format and put each value in a variable that I can then output to the correct format that I need? Any ideas greatly appreciated.

Re: [Nagios-users] Disk Partitioning for Nagios
I don't think it's really necessary to have a separate /usr or /boot partition. GRUB2 can boot from LVM partitions these days. 2 GB also seems excessive for a /tmp partition. In all honesty it doesn't actually matter as much as a lot of people think it does. There are some setups which are obviously brain dead, but much of it comes down to personal preference too. Using LVM will allow you to flexibly change your partitions as your needs shift, so you should definitely use that if you're unsure of your needs.

If you are going to work with NDOUtils for example and MySQL, the best option is to create a new and independent mount point depending on the data retention that you need. Then /var/lib/mysql could be a good option. For performance, if you are going to work with pnp4nagios for example, a good option is an independent mount point for /var/lib/pnp4nagios. And for global configuration, you can create the following for example: 250MB - /boot (out of the LVM) LVM XXX - swap (depending on your requirements) 2GB /tmp 10GB /usr 8GB /var 4GB /home (it depends on that you want to do) XXX /opt (if you don't need more external software, probably you don't need it with a big reserve) 2GB / 50GB /var/lib/mysql 30GB /var/lib/pnp4nagios Also, if you are going to work with SVN to save the .cfg files versions, you probably need a new mount point for this to separate it. This is a example, it depends on each time. If you can, separete the important things in different mount points and maintain an standard operating system partitioning. Best regards, Víctor.

Re: [Nagios-users] check_procs and negating regex in --ereg-argument-array
Okay, then it appears check_procs does not support that syntax.

Re: [Nagios-users] check_procs and negating regex in --ereg-argument-array
To get around the issue of bash interpreting your regex characters as
something else, simply wrap the regex in single quotes:
./check_procs -w 25 -c 35 -m CPU -v --ereg-argument-array='^((?!john).)*$'

We want to ignore one of the processes running on a machine but when we

because it reads ! as a bash internal command:

Re: [Nagios-users] Performance data not being returned
You keep putting commas in your example output, but as someone else already pointed out, perfdata is *space*-separated. The commas shouldn't be there. It seems this probably isn't the issue though. Why don't you post your plugin's source code so I can get a better idea of what's going on.

Re: [Nagios-users] printing info from nagios db check script
I haven't fully grokked the script you posted, but I do have a few
comments. You should be quoting every single variable which is set by an
external command, unless you have some reason not to. Most unquoted
variables are bugs just waiting to show up in unexpected ways. You
should also quote any variables which are set in other ways if there is
any chance of them containing bad characters like spaces. Personally I
just quote everything to avoid having to think about the issue.
Second, you could try adding 'set -x' to the top of your script to add
debugging output and hopefully help you find problems.

hey guys,
this was kind of interesting so I thought I might report it to anyone who
might take an interest in this thread. But I just realized where the
'additional' percentage that the tablespace check is reporting comes from.
It comes from the fact that the check is attempting to report two
tablespaces and that's why the formatting is falling apart.
I altered the print statement of the loop a little bit and saw the
important difference:
while i=$($sqlplus -s -l $USERNAME/$PASS@$SID
@/opt/bin/ops/mlb_tablespace.sql | awk '{print $1}') j=$($sqlplus -s -l
$USERNAME/$PASS@$SID @/opt/bin/ops/mlb_tablespace.sql | awk '{print $3}')
k=$($sqlplus -s -l $USERNAME/$PASS@$SID @/opt/bin/ops/mlb_tablespace.sql |
awk '{print $2}') l=$($sqlplus -s -l $USERNAME/$PASS@$SID
@/opt/bin/ops/mlb_tablespace.sql | awk '{print $4}')
do
TBLSPACE=$i
PCT=$j
FREE=$k
TOTAL=$l
if [ $TBLSPACE ]
then
echo NOK $TBLSPACE is at $PCT $FREE/$TOTAL
exit 2
else
echo All OK
exit 0
fi
done
Now outputs:
[db07-dc2:~] root% /opt/nagios/libexec/check_qaecom1_tablespace.sh
NOK BAM_USER_INDX_LG MLBDATASM is at 97.50% 95.85% 820 340/32764 8191
So what I need to try and figure out is how to print additional tablespaces
that meet the threshold levels and have the output make sense visually. I
will keep working on this, but would welcome any input you might have.
Thanks

Subject: printing info from nagios db check script
Hey list,
I'm having a small but important problem with a script I am writing in
order to monitor the tablespaces of an oracle database. This is probably more
of a bash programming issue, but as the ultimate purpose of the script is to
be a nagios check I am hoping that you won't mind me asking here.
Just to give you a brief overview of what I am experiencing, I'd like to
start by giving you the output of a couple runs of the script and a couple
snippets of code.
First:
[db07-dc2:~] root% /opt/nagios/libexec/check_qaecom1_tablespace.sh
/opt/nagios/libexec/check_qaecom1_tablespace.sh: line 60: [:
BAM_USER_INDX_LG: unary operator expected
All OK
is mainly achieved through this loop:
while i=$($sqlplus -s -l $USERNAME/$PASS@$SID
@/opt/bin/ops/mlb_tablespace.sql | awk '{print $1}') j=$($sqlplus -s -l
$USERNAME/$PASS@$SID @/opt/bin/ops/mlb_tablespace.sql | awk '{print $3}')
k=$($sqlplus -s -l $USERNAME/$PASS@$SID @/opt/bin/ops/mlb_tablespace.sql |
awk '{print $2}') l=$($sqlplus -s -l $USERNAME/$PASS@$SID
@/opt/bin/ops/mlb_tablespace.sql | awk '{print $4}')
do
TBLSPACE=$i
PCT=$j
FREE=$k
TOTAL=$l
if [ $TBLSPACE ]
then
echo NOK $TBLSPACE is at $PCT $FREE/$TOTAL
exit 2
else
echo All OK
exit 0
fi
done
But as you can see a 'unary operator' error is produced by this code. As you
can probably tell, all it does is execute a few sqlplus commands (with the
SQL contained in a separate file) and assign them to a few variables. It
incorrectly produces an 'OK' state.
But if I try to fix the 'unary operator' error by putting the TBLSPACE
variable in quotes, the result changes from ALL OK to showing some output
and (correctly) produces an error state:
[db07-dc2:~] root% /opt/nagios/libexec/check_qaecom1_tablespace.sh
NOK BAM_USER_INDX_LG
MLBDATASM is at 97.50%
95.85% 820
340/32764
8191
while i=$($sqlplus -s -l $USERNAME/$PASS@$SID
@/opt/bin/ops/mlb_tablespace.sql | awk '{print $1}') j=$($sqlplus -s -l
$USERNAME/$PASS@$SID @/opt/bin/ops/mlb_tablespace.sql | awk '{print $3}')
k=$($sqlplus -s -l $USERNAME/$PASS@$SID @/opt/bin/ops/mlb_tablespace.sql |
awk '{print $2}') l=$($sqlplus -s -l $USERNAME/$PASS@$SID
@/opt/bin/ops/mlb_tablespace.sql | awk '{print $4}')
do
TBLSPACE=$i
PCT=$j
FREE=$k
TOTAL=$l
if [ $TBLSPACE ]
then
echo NOK $TBLSPACE is at $PCT $FREE/$TOTAL
exit 2
else
echo All OK
exit 0
fi
done
The SQL is designed to list any tablespaces

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios based distributed monitoring systems out there?

The cool thing is we don't have to deal with opening up ssh on a bunch of remote networks. As long as SSH is allowed out from remote networks and we allow in SSH from the remote networks everything just works.

Re: [Nagios-users] Timeout and critical error false alarms
TBH, I'm really not sure. Those settings look fine to me.

Re: [Nagios-users] puzzling no output from nrpe run of check_load
Does the nagios user have read access to /proc/loadavg? Alex Griffin --- Tech Team agrif...@nagios.com Peter N. Steinmetz wrote: Hi, hoping someone may be able to help with this odd problem running check_load on a remote nrpe server. I am running a nagios3 server on ubuntu 10.04 server (nagios3 3.2.0-4ubuntu2.2) and a nrpe server on ubuntu 10.10 (nagios-nrpe-server 2.12-4ubuntu1.10.10.1, nagios-plugins 1.4.14-5ubuntu3) Have these both basically up and running, and the server is able to run a check_disk command on the npre server and receives results. For a check_load command, however, the status information is '(No output returned from plugin)'. I have looked extensively on the web for this, and it appears there are a number of reasons this may happen. On the server, if I run sudo su - nagios -c /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nrpe -H 10.41.129.36 -c check_load there is nothing returned. If I change the user from nagios to peter, then I get the expected response. On the nrpe server, the same thing is happening. If I run sudo su - nagios -c /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_load -w 15,10,5 -c 30,25,20 there is nothing returned. If I change the user to peter it returns the expected output. I've tried making the plugins all owned by nagios:nagios, that doesn't help. I've tried adding a line for nagios to sudoers file and then adding the sudo command prefix, that doesn't fix it when invoking the command on the nagios server. I've also tried adding the nagios user to the admin group and that doesn't help. I've enabled the debugging on the nrpe server, and for the command from the nagios server, I see the connection and request in syslog when the user is peter, but no such request when the user is nagios. Neither of the local commands generate any syslog output. It is difficult to understand why this command, check_load, on the nrpe server is returning output for users 'peter' and 'root' but not for user 'nagios' when 'nagios' owns the executable. When I check executing the check_disk command locally on the nrpe server with sudo su - nagios -c /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_disk -w 20% -c 10% -p /dev/sda1 it works and returns a report. Curiously, if I change the nagios user to have a login shell, such as /bin/bash, on the nrpe server, then the check_load command is returning output, though still doesn't work from the nagios server. In neither case, however, does the nagios user have a password. Both the check_load and check_disk plugins are owned by nagios:nagios and have -rwxr-xr-x permissions, so what is the difference? Any suggestions appreciated. cheers, Peter -- Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.

Re: [Nagios-users] Use of customized macro in CONTACT definition
You said you tried to echo “EMAILID=$NAGIOS__CONTACTEMAILID”, but
echoing this string will not set EMAILID to the value of
$NAGIOS_CONTACTEMAILID. You should set EMAILID, and then echo it afterwards.
Otherwise, looking over your settings they seem to be fine.

This doesn’t work. But if I put the same customized macro into a service

it works fine.
According to the docs, I’m specifying this correctly. I’m using nagios

So, am I doing something that should work and is a bug and if so is it
fixed in a later nagios version or have I done something silly here…?

Re: [Nagios-users] How to import modified host and service files in DB from CLI
You can simply run /usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts/reconfigure_nagios.sh after dropping your config files into /usr/local/nagios/etc/import/.

Is there any way i can import these modified files into NagiosXI DB from command line without using NagiosXI User Interface.

Re: [Nagios-users] Exclude Notifications during certian hours
There may be a better way to do this, but I believe this will work.
Define a new timeperiod like so:
define timeperiod{
timeperiod_nameexclude_nights
alias No notifications 00:30-6:30
sunday 00:00-00:29,06:31-24:00
monday 00:00-00:29,06:31-24:00
tuesday00:00-00:29,06:31-24:00
wednesday 00:00-00:29,06:31-24:00
thursday 00:00-00:29,06:31-24:00
friday 00:00-00:29,06:31-24:00
saturday 00:00-00:29,06:31-24:00
}
Then in the appropriate host definitions add 'check_period exclude_nights'.

Hi all,
I have all my servers (approx. 70) monitored by PING using the 24x7 time
period and notifications set to 24x7.
Im happy with this as I want to know when my servers go down at all
times as a lot are critical and under strict SLA’s.
However I have the need to exclude notifications for 1 physical host and
6 virtual hosts that sit on this physical host during the hours of
00:30-06:30 every night.
These machines are not under any SLA and often reboot during the night
for various reasons and I’m done with waking up at all hours for these
non-critical servers!
What is the quickest way for me to exclude these 7 hosts from notifying
during these hours whilst leaving all other servers at 24x7?
Ive had a read the nagios docs but it didn’t really help me as I didn’t
really understand it.
I have edited my server.cfg to show the scenario I want to achieve and
that can be found at the link below.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/895609/servers.cfg
The layout etc is identical to my live configs, I have just edited the
number of hosts/names/contacts etc (the 3 hosts named NOT CRITICAL are
the example for the “7 hosts” I first talked about)
What is the quickest and most effective way for me to keep checking ALL
my servers 24x7 and notifying 24x7, BUT exclude 7 particular servers
from checks/notifications between 00:30-06:30 every night?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Re: [Nagios-users] Eventlog monitoring through NSClient++
You could install NagEventLog on your Windows machines to do this as well. This would involve setting up passive checks on your Nagios server as there is no plugin involved if you go this route.

Re: [Nagios-users] About check_by_ssh
check_by_ssh doesn't check the hostname using ssh's config. Perhaps it
should, but looking through the source it looks like the error is coming
from this function, which is actually a common function amongst several
nagios plugins (located in netutils.h):
void
host_or_die(const char *str)
{
if(!str || (!is_addr(str) !is_hostname(str)))
usage_va(_(Invalid hostname/address - %s), str);
}
Since it doesn't look like your machine is accessible outside of a local
network, you could set up a proper proxy or vpn or something within the
network with a public hostname. Then use check_by_ssh with the local IP,
e.g. 192.168.0.2

Re: [Nagios-users] Howto monitor udp ports using nagiosxi wizard
The send string is a raw string to send over udp, and should speak the protocol of whatever service you're trying to check. The expect string is a substring to match in the response you get. It's not very user-friendly and doesn't work well with binary protocols, but it's fairly flexible. You just need to know something about the underlying protocol of what you're monitoring.

[Nagios-users] Using NagiosStatusLog, or obtaining status info
Hi all,
I'm relatively new at using perl, but would like to write a script
that prints the status of all services on all hosts. I thought the
StatusLog module would be good, but it doesn't seem to work with the
latest v3 nagios? It's probably more likely I'm doing something wrong,
but are there any existing examples of how to use it properly with the
latest versions of nagios?
The documentation says Nagios::Service::Status has the following
accessor methods (For V1):, then lists those methods. However, many
return null, such as host_up. Are these methods only available in
nagios v1? If so, how do I get a status of each service for all hosts
and services?
I've tried something as simple as this:
use Nagios::StatusLog;
my $log = Nagios::StatusLog-new(
Filename = /var/log/nagios/status.dat,
Version = 3.0
);
my @host_info = qw(host_name status modified_attributes check_command
check_period notification_period check_interval retry_interval
event_handler has_been_checked should_be_scheduled
check_execution_time check_latency check_type current_state
last_hard_state last_event_id current_event_id current_problem_id
last_problem_id plugin_output);
foreach my $host ($log-list_hosts) {
my $obj = $log-host($host);
foreach my $hostinfo (@host_info) {
print host: $host valname: $hostinfo value: ,$obj-$hostinfo,\n;
}
}
I'm not sure this is the correct way to do it, and I don't think the
host_info array is complete. Some values also return null.
Can someone supply a more complete example of how to parse the
status.dat file or otherwise obtain real-time information about the
status of every nagios variable for every host?
Thanks,
Alex

Re: [Nagios-users] Using NagiosStatusLog, or obtaining status info
Hi, I wanted to add to my previous mail that I just found the list_tags() function (from StatusLog.pm) which returns the list of all the status variables from the status.dat file. However, it returns some others that don't appear in the status.dat file, such as time_up and time_down. Where do these variables come from? I'm trying to upgrade a legacy application that used nagios v1, and I'd like to recreate the status.log file. This log file contained those variables time_up and time_down, so I'd like to report the value of those variables in my new version. I hope someone can help me to clarify the discrepancies between the v1 log and the v3 log, and how to obtain all the variables and their values from the v3 log using perl. The documentation says Nagios::Service::Status has the following accessor methods (For V1):, then lists those methods. However, many return null, such as host_up. Are these methods only available in nagios v1? If so, how do I get a status of each service for all hosts and services?

[Nagios-users] Help needed: How do you configure dynamic thresholds depending on timeframes.
Help needed: How do you configure dynamic thresholds depending on timeframes.
Example. -w = 80 -c = 90 during business hours but -w = 90 -c = 95
outsite business hours.
How can we configure into nagios dynamic thresholds depending on
timeframes: Part II
define service{
use local-service ; Name
of service template to use
host_name localhost
service_description Current Users
check_command check_local_users!20!50
check_period nonworkhours
notification_period nonworkhours
}
define service{
use local-service ; Name
of service template to use
host_name localhost
service_description Current Users
check_command check_local_users!40!60
check_period workhours
notification_period workhours
}
In my above example i dit configure the same test twice. The two
timeframes 'nonworkhours' en 'workhours' together equals 24x7
Is this way of configuring allowed. Because this solves my problem.
1) how will the nagios scheduling react on this configuration?
2) how will the display react on this configuration?
# 'workhours' timeperiod definition
define timeperiod{
timeperiod_name workhours
alias Normal Working Hours
monday 09:00-17:00
tuesday 09:00-17:00
wednesday 09:00-17:00
thursday09:00-17:00
friday 09:00-17:00
}
# 'nonworkhours' timeperiod definition
define timeperiod{
timeperiod_name nonworkhours
alias Non-Work Hours
sunday 00:00-24:00
monday 00:00-09:00,17:00-24:00
tuesday 00:00-09:00,17:00-24:00
wednesday 00:00-09:00,17:00-24:00
thursday00:00-09:00,17:00-24:00
friday 00:00-09:00,17:00-24:00
saturday00:00-24:00
}
check_period: This directive is used to specify the short name of the
time period during which active checks of this host can be made.
check_period: This directive is used to specify the short name of the
time period during which active checks of this service can be made.
If you do not use the check_period directive to specify a timeperiod,
Nagios will be able to schedule active
checks of the host or service anytime it needs to. This is essentially
a 24x7 monitoring scenario.
Specifying a timeperiod in the check_period directive allows you to
restrict the time that Nagios perform
regularly scheduled, active checks of the host or service. When Nagios
attempts to reschedule a host or
service check, it will make sure that the next check falls within a
valid time range within the defined
timeperiod. If it doesnt, Nagios will adjust the next check time to
coincide with the next valid time in
the specified timeperiod. This means that the host or service may not
get checked again for another hour,
day, or week, etc.
Timeperiods:
Exclusions and Host/Service Checks - There is a bug in the
service/host check scheduling logic
that rears its head when you use timeperiod definitions that use the
excludedirective. The
problem occurs when Nagios Core tries to re-schedule the next check.
In this case, the
scheduling logic may incorrectly schedule the next check further out
in the future than it
should. In essence, it skips over the (missing) logic where it could
determine an earlier possible
time using the exception times. Imperfect Solution: Dont use
timeperiod definitions that
exclude other timeperods for your host/service check periods. A fix is
being worked on, and
will hopefully make it into a 3.4.x release.

[Nagios-users] How can we configure into nagios dynamic thresholds depending on timeframes
Dear Sire,
How can we configure into nagios dynamic thresholds depending on timeframes.
Example. -w = 80 -c = 90 during business hours but -w = 90 -c = 95
outsite business hours.
How can we configure into nagios dynamic thresholds depending on
timeframes: Part II
define service{
use local-service ; Name
of service template to use
host_name localhost
service_description Current Users
check_command check_local_users!20!50
check_period nonworkhours
notification_period nonworkhours
}
define service{
use local-service ; Name
of service template to use
host_name localhost
service_description Current Users
check_command check_local_users!40!60
check_period workhours
notification_period workhours
}
In my above example i dit configure the same test twice. The two
timeframes 'nonworkhours' en 'workhours' together equals 24x7
Is this way of configuring allowed. Because this solves my problem.
1) how will the nagios scheduling react on this configuration?
2) how will the display react on this configuration?

check_period: This directive is used to specify the short name of the
time period during which active checks of this service can be made.
If you do not use the check_period directive to specify a timeperiod,
Nagios will be able to schedule active
checks of the host or service anytime it needs to. This is essentially
a 24x7 monitoring scenario.
Specifying a timeperiod in the check_period directive allows you to
restrict the time that Nagios perform
regularly scheduled, active checks of the host or service. When Nagios
attempts to reschedule a host or
service check, it will make sure that the next check falls within a
valid time range within the defined
timeperiod. If it doesnt, Nagios will adjust the next check time to
coincide with the next valid time in
the specified timeperiod. This means that the host or service may not
get checked again for another hour,
day, or week, etc.
Timeperiods:
Exclusions and Host/Service Checks - There is a bug in the
service/host check scheduling logic
that rears its head when you use timeperiod definitions that use the
excludedirective. The
problem occurs when Nagios Core tries to re-schedule the next check.
In this case, the
scheduling logic may incorrectly schedule the next check further out
in the future than it
should. In essence, it skips over the (missing) logic where it could
determine an earlier possible
time using the exception times. Imperfect Solution: Dont use
timeperiod definitions that
exclude other timeperods for your host/service check periods. A fix is
being worked on, and
will hopefully make it into a 3.4.x release.
