Re: [Nagios-users] Comments between versions 2 and 3 of Nagios
Hi Martine, This is a known issue between Nagios 2 and 3 - it's also the case for downtime. See the following package for how-to migrate the comments from one system to another: http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/upgrading.html#nagios2x I don't know if anyone's written a script for it, but it's a 10-second job to do manually as I did it on my test Nagios 3 system.

[Nagios-users] [Fwd: Re: Nagios 3.0b4 crashing]
Sorry, due to an error on my mail server, this didn't get through first time round. Hi, Found the cause of this: the pre-flight check isn't working correctly (see output below) which caused the confusion (the errors were off-screen in my terminal window, and I mistakenly trusted the Total Warnings: 0, Total Errors: 0 bit!! I've copied in nagios-devel to report this (also confirmed the same with today's CVS build.) Note that the servicegroup Server_Info does *not* exist (I mistakenly removed it a few days ago), so the pre-flight check should report it as an error, but it doesn't.

Debugging information can now be written to a separate debug file, which is automatically rotated when it reaches a user-defined size. This should make debugging problems much easier, as you don't need to recompiled Nagios. This is about debugging symbols which reside inside the executable binary, not about debugging output generated by the program itself. Debugging symbols and debug output is not even remotely the same. I've enabled the allow Nagios to create core dumps option (can't remember what it's called atm), and the notes for that directive do say that even with that option enabled, Nagios may not create a core dump, which it doesn't. It's supposed to. Perhaps you meant disabled the ... ? I'll try strace/ktrace, but how do you get Nagios to run in the foreground, as soon as you start it with -d it goes to the background anyway? Start it without -d, or use strace -f, although you'll still have to send the backtrace of your resulting core-dump to the nagios-devel@ mailing list if you want any help solving the problem, unless a recent CVS snapshot does the trick for you. - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Re: [Nagios-users] Fwd: Problem with availability report
Hi Pablo, Yes, it looks as if your Nagios user does not have permissions to write to /var/log/nagios2/archives. Do chown nagios:adm /var/log/nagios2/archives, then when your logs are rotated, you should get the old logs moved inside your archives directory, and you'll be able to run historical reports. What you'll probably find is that currently, the reports are only picking up the current day's data (as you only have today's log file.) Andy.

Re: [Nagios-users] Can Nagios keep the data returned from the services?
Hi Chris, I'm looking at the possibility of doing this myself over the coming months. Unfortunately, I can only give you a pointer. I believe what you're looking for is performance data - that is, when a plugin returns it's output, a specially crafted string at the end of the output (containing the statistics - e.g cpu usage, memory usage etc) for that particular plugin can be parsed by Nagios and processed in some way. However, not having done this, I'm not privy to how it works - lookup the performance-related config directives in the Nagios 2 documentation, I'm sure this will provide an insight.

Re: [Nagios-users] Opinion Sought... Essential Nagios 3rd PartyApps.
Hi Dimitry, Yep. NLG 2.0 release is code-named Padlock for this very reason! The main goal is purely on security, anything else I can get going will be a bonus, and it will feature a complete security model. In v2, you'll be able to create users and tag them to groups. Users can then be assigned to host- and/or service-groups, as well as hosts/services themselves. Users and individual groups will be able to have different permission levels, and if a user is defined in a group, but has explicit permissions on their username, the individual permissions will override that of the group (the way I see it at the moment, unless anyone has any objections / other ideas?) As for how it links in with Nagios, I'm not sure yet whether to pick up the contact group a user is in, or to leave NLG permissions completely separate to Nagios? In NLG 2, the view will also revolve around host/service groups as opposed to the hosts/services themselves. At the moment I'm thinking something along the lines of (in the network browser): - Network Status --- Web servers (host group) - Web 01 - Web 02 --- Mail servers (host group) - Mail 01 - Mail 02 --- Web services (service group) - www.websiteone.com on Web 01 - www.websiteone.com (user login) on Web 02 --- Mail services (service group) - SMTP server on Mail 01 - IMAP server on Mail 01 - IMAP server on Mail 02# Thoughts on any of the above, anyone? If you need anything quick in the meantime, NLG 1.0.6 features custom-filters, so you can only include certain hosts in the filter view filters. This only works on the hostname set in Nagios, and each host has to be explicitly set (i.e. it doesn't allow for regex's.) This was a quick-fix patch I put in for a user back in v1.0.2, and it became a popular requested feature so I put it in the trunk for the 1.0.6 release. Thanks, Andy. Sapon, Dimitry wrote: Andy, In the future release, will it allow the ability to customize which hosts you want to view, maybe by viewing only certain host groups (by specifically choosing them or through some REGEX on the name)?

Re: [Nagios-users] How do I check the services on remote machines
Hi Lingyun, Have a look at NRPE. Basically you run an NRPE daemon on the remote machines (which is configured with the commands to use.) You set up a service in Nagios to use check_nrpe to query the remote NRPE daemon. The NRPE daemon takes the command name to use, runs the command associated on the system, then sends the result back to Nagios, which determines if it was successful or not. You get the check_nrpe plugin by compiling NPRE (you just have to copy it to Nagios' libexec directory. Andy. Lingyun Yang wrote: Hi: I am running nagios to monitoring a cluster.

Re: [Nagios-users] Uptime error
I think you need to explain what you're trying to do overall, as this isn't making any sense to me! You cannot possibly determine which server is responding using it's uptime output. A more sensible option surely would be it's hostname? #!/bin/bash hostname exit 0 However you're going to run into a lot of trouble trying to use Nagios to monitor a server using its dynamic IP address. I think to start with you need to be looking at a solution such as Dynamic DNS (e.g. No-IP, DynDNS for commercial services, or Bind with DNSSEC/TSIG if you use Bind within your organisation.) Your machines would then change their DNS address when they detect their IP address has changed, and you would definite it's dynamic DNS hostname as the host_name directive to Nagios. Only thing you'd have to watch would be if your DNS service fails, Nagios will fail on everything. Re your last e-mail, please give example outputs of what you see on the command-line and what Nagios says.

Re: [Nagios-users] Uptime error
Again, as I and Patrick have said, your host's check_command is only
getting run when a service is deemed to have problems.
You're getting the difference in the uptime output in Nagios and the
console because Nagios hasn't run the uptime command for the host for
over a day.
If you're not retaining status information, then when you restart
Nagios, it re-runs all it's checks, hence why it then gets updated.
After that it is only run when a service fails.
What I still don't understand is how your uptime command ensures the
router is up? If the router is not up, then Nagios won't be running (as
you're running it on the same host) so it seems quite pointless really.
If the Lanlink checks that the LAN interface is up and connected - that
makes sense, but then a check_ping to 127.0.0.1 as your host
check_command would give the same result as the uptime, then you could
have an Uptime service with your check_uptime command.
That way you could be confident that the status detail in Nagios is
reasonably up-to-date.

where I had configured this way:

}
This is all about the 2 files. And let me give the output also.
When I type the command uptime in my router I see like this:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$uptime
15:15:50 up 4 days, 4:54, 1 user, load average: 0.76, 0.70, 0.59
And when I see the nagios page for the Host Detail section, the Status
Information shows me:
20:17:46 up 3 days, 9:56, 1 user, load average: 0.89, 0.86, 0.71
But the output that I had given you is from the running nagios page.
If i would restart nagios then everything will be ok for a while.
This is what I want to know why this output comes like this.
Again in the /var/nagios/status.dat file is there which when I do
ls -lt command , it shows me that its getting updated in each and
every minute. Now if u again have any doubt on what I am trying to
tell please do mail me. Again I do repeat that when I do
/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v /etc/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg
It doesn't give me any error. But this misbehaviour is worrying
me

Re: [Nagios-users] Uptime error
You can do it by setting scheduled host checks, but it's very performance-intensive, and *will* affect your service checks. Your uptime check will do what you want much better if you add it as a service to your host. Why are you so insistent you don't want to use check_ping as your host command and Uptime as a service?

[Nagios-users] [Fwd: Re: Uptime error]
A hostname check would be much more informative, or check_nrpe - if the other guy in your office doesn't have NRPE installed, then a check_nrpe will fail. Note that the way you have it setup, check_uptime will always run on the Nagios server, regardless, because it's a local plugin. So whatever the IP of your router (Nagios machine), it will always succeed. You need to be using NRPE in conjunction with it to get it to check by IP address. Even that will always succeed at the moment because your IP in your Nagios configuration is 127.0.0.1, which will always refer to itself. You're much better off having this as a service. For every host in my install I have a Server Availability service which is a check_ping, as this constantly monitors that the servers are up and responding, every minute, and doesn't create any havoc from host checks being run too often.

The reason is that suppose I have a machine named don whose ip is 192.102.1.2 http://192.102.1.2 and if my machine is down for 1 day. And some other guy in my office started his machine his dhcpclient will run and give my ip (Think as if for the time being). Now the ping will work in any case but the uptime wont. So that is why I decided to move on with uptime in Host check.

If i had told u my machine, then I really apolagise for stealing your precious time. No, I understand that. And is there anyway that I can trigger the check_uptime (plugin written by me) all the time when the router is up??? Yes. Define it as a service for your host that runs, say, every 5 minutes 24x7. . If so please do tell me. If the router is down and nagios doesnt run then its ok for me. Since that is a different issue. But from your reply I came to understand that check_uptime will be called for the first time when the nagios is started and then if any of the services fails then again the check_uptime is called. Yes. Nagios only checks a host status when it absolutely needs to, not any other time. This is usually when a service fails, or a network blockage is detected. check_ping to 127.0.0.1 http://127.0.0.1 on this check would work fine in your case. Andy. Sujith Bangalore. On 2/28/07, *Andy Shellam (Mailing Lists) * [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Again, as I and Patrick have said, your host's check_command is only getting run when a service is deemed to have problems. You're getting the difference in the uptime output in Nagios and the console because Nagios hasn't run the uptime command for the host for over a day. If you're not retaining status information, then when you restart Nagios, it re-runs all it's checks, hence why it then gets updated. After that it is only run when a service fails. What I still don't understand is how your uptime command ensures the router is up? If the router is not up, then Nagios won't be running (as you're running it on the same host) so it seems quite pointless really. If the Lanlink checks that the LAN interface is up and connected - that makes sense, but then a check_ping to 127.0.0.1 http://127.0.0.1 as your host check_command would give the same result as the uptime
Re: [Nagios-users] cgi.cfg
My guess is Nagios is trying to parse cgi.cfg as an object configuration file. IIRC, cgi.cfg should be in the same place as nagios.cfg, and NOT entered into the nagios.cfg as part of either a cfg_file or cfg_dir directive. As Jim said, it would help if you post the relevant portions of your nagios.cfg file. Andy. Jim Avery wrote: On 26/02/07, Michael Weiner [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I am experiencing two issues, which i am having trouble getting around. The first issue, and probably the most concerning is that whenever i define the cgi.cfg in nagios.cfg and run nagios -v /etc/nagios/nagios.cfg it fails complaining about the first unremarked line in the file It would help greatly if you could post the relevant portion of your nagios.cfg and cgi.cfg files, and the exact error you get when you run nagios -v /etc/nagios/nagios.cfg. I would strongly recommend that you consider installing Nagios and the plugins from the source tarball which can be found at http://www.nagios.org rather than from .rpm . The .rpm install is quite different to a source tarball install - it puts various bits of Nagios in various different directories and makes it more difficult to support. Also, it will install a version which has embedded perl enabled - something you might find you don't want in the future. If you install from source tarball, it may take you a little longer than an rpm install, but you will learn more about Nagios while you do the install, and will find that if you want to try some of the various excellent add-ons for Nagios in the future, they are easier to get working if you have done a standard install from tarball. - Take Surveys.

Hi Carlo, What version of PHP are you running?

Re: [Nagios-users] Notifications by SMS
I think this could spark an interesting discussion!
Both AQL and Text Anywhere (providers I've used in the past) take only
the subject and the body (up to the 160-character limit) as the text
message body.
Taking the entire e-mail including headers seems bad practice for the
obvious reasons of message length restrictions!
TextAnywhere also do some other interesting things, based upon which TA
domain you send your e-mail to:
- Take the first 11 characters of the e-mail subject as the originator
ID (instead of your mobile number) and the first 160 characters of the
body as the text message
- Take the first 160 characters of the e-mail body as the text message,
setting the originator ID to your account's default mobile number
- Take the entire e-mail body and send as many SMSes as needed to send
the complete message (up to 3 messages will get linked as 1 by your handset)
If you use the HTTP gateway there are a lot more options you can do,
including getting a delivery report back when the message has been
delivered to the handset (obviously custom programming on your side is
needed.)

Frost, Mark {PBG} wrote:
We do this as well (e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]) to receive alerts.
What's not so good about this is that most phone companies limit the
length of an SMS message. The provider includes a lot of the e-mail
header in the SMS message which eats up a good chunk of that length. We
find that regularly we get the subject, but little or none of the body
of the alert message.
It would be nice to be able to get just the alert without all the e-mail
header crap. That's what makes the notion of a service that translates
the e-mail message more intelligently and sends it via SMS an intriguing
idea to us.

Re: [Nagios-users] Notifications by SMS
There are plenty of email-to-SMS providers out there. www.textanywhere.net www.aql.com To name 2 that spring to mind (UK-based.) They all use pretty much the same approach - send an e-mail to your_sms_device_number@providers_domain.tld, and it'll relay the first 160 characters (or whatever the network allows) of the e-mail to the mobile device number. I've used both AQL and TextAnywhere, TA has a slightly quicker response time than AQL on sent messages, and they invoice us on a monthly basis rather than having to pre-pay (like AQL, where we often ran into the problem of running out of credit, then messages don't get relayed.) I'm sure there are some free providers that may do this too, but the paid ones often implement better solutions (like TA has a HTTP and SOAP protocol so you can POST a HTTP request in the correct format to generate a text message rather than using e-mail.)

Re: [Nagios-users] Host down /UNREACHABLE
Does the host have the same parent in both Nagios installations? It looks like on one Nagios server, the host goes through a parent which is down, and on the other there is no parent relationship (or it's parent is OK.) Note: UNREACHABLE is not in terms of the network packets not reaching the host, it means that the parent host of a child host in Nagios is down. Andy.

Not sure if this directly relates to your problem, but you don't need

Re: [Nagios-users] Using SSH to run remote command checks
Nagios Mail wrote: I wanted to update this problem as it appears to have never been resolved. The current version of check_by_ssh still returns an UKNOWN status in nagios. I have ran the command manually from the command line and echoed $?, and while it does return 0, nagios is putting in an UNKNOWN status. Not only that but the status appears to be flapping. The Critical and Warning status appear to work every time, but when an OK status is returned from one of the check programs (check_load, check_disk, check_process), check_by_ssh returns an UNKNOWN almost 80% of the time. I've followed up with three different people on this list who have reported the problem, and all of them just decided to move to NRPE. Has anyone gotten this plugin to work? I am assuming this is a code problem with check_by_ssh I just get the following very helpful error message: Remote command execution failed: ___ ___ _ _ Not even a reason why it failed, just a lot of underscores!

Hi Sean, If it's a standard plugin (from nagios-plugins), you can normally use the -t option in your check command definition to set the timeout to 300 seconds (i.e. 5 minutes.)

Re: [Nagios-users] Help with Nagios Looking Glass 1.0.2
Hello Gary, In your client/s3_config_stub.inc.php file, set the $Stub_ClientEnableDebugging option to 1, then append ?debug=yes to the end of your looking-glass URL: e.g. http://looking-glass.andyshellam.eu/?debug=yes That should give you a further clue as to where things are going wrong. The main causes of this error are: - HTTP authentication required to access s3_download.php, but not specified in the config - URL to s3_download.php is incorrect - No write permission to client/sync-files - No data received from s3_download.php (server-side configuration for sync'd files is incorrect) If you're still having problems, please post the output from running in debug mode.

[Nagios-users] servicegroup_name in dependencies
Can anyone see a problem with this service dependency setup? Nagios
complains with a NULL service description/host name in service
dependency definition message with this configuration, but I cannot see
anything wrong myself.
According to the manual:
--- start man quote ---
All Services In Multiple Servicegroups: If you want to create service
dependencies for all services
that belong in one or more servicegroups, you can do use the
servicegroup_name and/or dependent_
servicegroup_name directive as follows:
define servicedependency{
servicegroup_name SERVICEGROUP1,SERVICEGROUP2,...,SERVICEGROUPN
dependent_servicegroup_name SERVICEGROUP3,SERVICEGROUP4,...SERVICEGROUPN
other escalation directives ...
}
--- end man quote ---
I cannot get this to work under Nagios 2.7.
In my setup, I have a group called aseu_web_servers. Every host in
that group (currently only one) has a service called Web Service
which, using NRPE, checks that the local web server is running.
I then have a list of 13 websites assigned to a service group called
web_sites.
What I'm trying to do is setup a dependency on every website, with the
Web Service on the host being the master service, so if the web server
dies, I don't get a notification for every website that fails.
With the above manual excerpt, I figured the following would work:
define servicedependency {
hostgroup_nameaseu_web_servers
service_descriptionWeb Service
dependent_hostgroup_nameaseu_web_servers
dependent_servicegroup_nameweb_sites
inherits_parent0
execution_failure_criteriac
notification_failure_criteriaw,u,c,p
}
Config check fails with: NULL service description/host name in service
dependency definition
If I change dependent_servicegroup_name to
dependent_service_description and put a single website in, instead of
the web_sites group, it works, as follows:
define servicedependency {
hostgroup_nameaseu_web_servers
service_descriptionWeb Service
dependent_hostgroup_nameaseu_web_servers
dependent_service_description Website: www.andyshellam.eu
inherits_parent0
execution_failure_criteriac
notification_failure_criteriaw,u,c,p
}
Config check results in Total Warnings: 0; Total Errors: 0
Even if I set a specific host name instead of a host group, it still
complains whenever the dependent_servicegroup_name option is used.
This means I'll have to add in a service dependency for every website.
I cannot use a wildcard in the dependent_service_description because
there are other services on those servers that don't have a dependency
on the web server. If I add a new website, all I want to have to do is
add it into the web_sites group and have everything else taken care
of, which the manual says you can by using the
dependent_servicegroup_name directive.
Is this a bug in Nagios, or can anyone tell me I'm missing something silly?
Thanks
Andy.

[Nagios-users] Service Dependencies - refer to self
Is there any way to make a service dependency refer to the service's own
host?
For example:
I have a list of services that perform basic health checking
(disk-space, swap-space, load, uptime etc) across all servers defined in
Nagios.
There is also a service on every server that checks that NRPE is running.
What I'd like to do is create a service dependency so that all the basic
health checks only get checked/notified if NRPE is running.
However, I cannot seem to create a dependency that refers to it's own host.
E.g.
define servicedependency {
hostgroup_nameall_servers
service_descriptionRemote Monitoring Agent
dependent_hostgroup_nameall_servers
dependent_service_descriptionDisk Space (OS)
inherits_parent0
execution_failure_criteriac
notification_failure_criteriaw,u,c,p
}
What this does, and I understand why, is that one server's Disk Space
(OS) service depends on every other server's Remote Monitoring Agent,
instead of just it's own.
I'd need something like:
define servicedependency {
host_name_self
service_descriptionRemote Monitoring Agent
dependent_host_name_self
dependent_service_descriptionDisk Space (OS)
inherits_parent0
execution_failure_criteriac
notification_failure_criteriaw,u,c,p
}
So the service Disk Space (OS) is dependent on the Remote Monitoring
Agent on that same server.
The only way forward I can see for now is creating a service dependency
for every host, for every health check service (which for me means
upwards of 40 dependencies.)
I hope this is a good enough explanation of what I'm trying to do - can
this be done?
Thanks
Andy.

[Nagios-users] NRPE in FreeBSD jail
I've been struggling with this for the last 2 hours and I cannot work out where it's going wrong. I have a Nagios 2.7 server talking to an NRPE 2.6 client. The Nagios 2.7 server is running FreeBSD as does the NRPE client - however the NRPE client is being run in a FreeBSD jail (this is a hosted system which I have no control of outside of the jail.) I'm hoping I've simply missed something simple. When I run from the console of the NRPE client, as the Nagios user: $ /usr/local/bin/sudo /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_swap -w 25% -c 10% SWAP OK - 91% free (7442 MB out of 8192 MB) |swap=7442MB;2048;819;0;8192 $ When I run the check from the Nagios server: sudo -u nagios /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H mackay.mailnetwork.co.uk -c check_swap NRPE: Unable to read output If I try an invalid command: sudo -u nagios /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H mackay.mailnetwork.co.uk -c check_swapNOTEXIST NRPE: Command 'check_swapNOTEXIST' not defined So, as you can see, it is reaching NRPE fine (and I presume the SSL is working correctly.) I've tried starting up NRPE without SSL (-n), and ditto on the Nagios server - still the same error. I've also tried setting allow_weak_random_seed=1, same error. I'm guessing it has something to do with NRPE not sending the output data from the plugin to the correct stream, and as I don't know much about FreeBSD jails, I don't know whether stdin/out works as normal. As you can see, I've also set debug=1, but don't get anything in my log files other than daemon starting up. Is anyone else running NRPE inside a jail? Or can point out something obvious I'm missing!? Or how to get more debug info?

Perhaps, but this same config works fine on a Fedora Core 4 system, by changing /usr/local/bin/sudo to /usr/bin/sudo. Before I changed this I got the same error on the Fedora system, so I am leaning towards it being a permissions issue, but I can't figure out what. A side note: sometimes it helps to add wrapper function. All the wrapper function does it a cd /usr/local/nagios/libexec and then runs the command you would normally specify in nrpe.cfg The plugins I'm trying to execute are all core plugins (check_swap, check_dns etc.) I haven't had to add a wrapper on any other system (including an identical FreeBSD machine, just not running in a jail.)

Re: [Nagios-users] ANNOUNCE: Nagios Looking Glass 1.0.1 released!
Hi Randall, You can put NLG's folders wherever you want, as long as it has a URL that can be accessed via HTTP (e.g. Apache.) This can be setup as a separate virtual host, a so-called virtual directory under Apache, or simply as a subdirectory of Apache's default htdocs. The main files NLG needs from Nagios are those in 'nagios/var' and these must be accessible via the local file-system to NLG's server scripts. The client can be placed on a separate machine if required. Currently the server-side of NLG requires a HTTP URL, even if the client is on the same machine. This will be changed in future versions, but that's how it is now. The 'share' folder is where all the templates/HTML files etc are for Nagios' front-end, and this was used for sake of simplicity. This may be different on OSX, I'm not sure, someone more familiar with the OSX builds of Nagios may be able to help you further. Andy. Randall R. Saeks wrote: I am looking to get this installed on OS X, and can't seem to find a share folder inside of any of my Nagios folders. Is this something that I should be creating if it is not there?

Certainly - define yourself a time period which doesn't include these

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/xodtemplate.html#timeperiod
e.g.
define timeperiod{
timeperiod_name oracle-downtime

sunday 00:00-03:00,06:00-24:00
- repeat for monday - saturday -

Then in your Oracle service check, use oracle-downtime as the value for

just being itchy, the name leads to misunderstanding, it should be
called oracle-uptime, as this timeperiod is defined to check the running
oracle instance, not the downtimed period.
Hehe yep good point, I was just making it obvious that it's a time
period for a specific-use, but yep I agree!

Re: [Nagios-users] problems with Nagios Looking Glass
Hi Mark,
If you enable the debugging option in the client/s3_config_stub.inc.php
file ($Stub_ClientEnableDebugging) to 1, then visit
http://nagioshost/nlg/client/?debug=yes;, that will generate your
debugging output, but I'm guessing it will go as far as the error it's
already generated in the front-end.
1.0.0#PRE didn't give any error messages apart from feed download
failed - that was fixed in 1.0.0.
1.0.1 literally only changed one line of code, so it's strange if it's
giving you a different error to 1.0.0. :S
As a private e-mail, can you send me your config files and the debug
output? (Obviously strip any usernames/passwords out of your config
before-hand!)
Just glancing over your e-mail, is this just an oversight, or is this
actually in your config? - You say you're using the same server as both
client and server, and your client address starts http://nagioshost, but
your server address starts http://nagios - this would cause the delay
you're seeing, but I think I'm being a bit hopeful that this is all it is ;)
As per your question about authentication, the sync'd files are
requested from the normal file-system (when configured), but the poller
still uses a HTTP request - this is something I'm hoping to change in 1.0.2.
FYI you don't have to put NLG in the share directory of Nagios - I've
done exactly the same trick as you did with my server feed, and my
client UI is sitting on a completely different server to Nagios.
Thanks
Andy.

Hello. I've been trying to use Nagios Looking Glass and have so far
been unable to. I've tried 1.0Pre, 1.0 and now 1.0.1.
When I go to the client URL (http://nagioshost/nlg/client) it sits there
working on it for 30 seconds and gives me back an error page which
includes:
The checksum I received with the feed is invalid compared to my
local check. Network problems may be causing packet loss
The long wait before the error was consistent with behavior in 1.0Pre
and 1.0, but each version has given me different errors (or none at all
I think with 1.0Pre).
I'm running Nagios 2.6 with authentication to the Nagios share
directory. I've got both the NLG client and server on the same box
which is the same as the Nagios server itself.
One thing I'm doing differently here (and maybe I can't do this) is that
I put the NLG stuff *outside* of the nagios share directory. I tweaked
my Apache config so that it would find 'nlg' as a separate URL with no
authentication. So the NLG URLs would be something like
http://nagioshost/nlg/client or http://nagios/nlg/server/s3_poller.php
I modified the php include files per the 1.0PRE documentation (that's
still current for 1.0 and 1.0.1, right?) to use these URLs. I'm a
little unclear about authentication here because I wasn't sure that NLG
would need it as it's accessing files directly. That is, since the
entire /nlg URL tree is unauthenticated and I thought NLG would access
Nagios' files directly (i.e. not using the Nagios URLs) no
authentication was necessary.
I can't find any error logs and I'm having some difficulty figuring out
how I might turn debugging on in the code to tell me what I might have
done wrong.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks
Mark

How big is your Nagios installation? (i.e. how many hosts/services?)

Hi all.
I have created a event handler as a test to see how it works. The hard
part I have done.
I created a ssh key on on the nagios server. I tested that I am able
to connect via ssh over to the other server working 100% fine.
I then next tested my ssh connection using my ssh key to execute the
sudo apache2 restart on the other server all worked 100%.
So in thury all is working nicely from command line.
The command line command I am using is.
/usr/bin/ssh -p 222 -i /home/nagios/.ssh/id_dsa [EMAIL PROTECTED] sudo
/etc/init.d/apache2 restart
So what I did was I then added a extra line in my host
define service{
use local-service
host_name imap-1.rba.ispafrica.net
service_description HTTP
event_handler restart-httpd
check_command check_http
}
And the command
define command{

command_line/usr/bin/ssh -p 222 -i
/home/nagios/.ssh/id_dsa [EMAIL PROTECTED] sudo
/etc/init.d/apache2 res

}
So now nagios still does not want to execute my command
Any advice would be appriciated.

Re: [Nagios-users] check host alive
Most systems have 64 as default TTL, otherwise you're right. There are two variants of Time to live exceeded. One is where the there are more hops to the target than the TTL set in the packet. This is known as Time to live exceeded in transit. Hmmm something rang a bell when you've said 64, however I've just got a completely different answer to both of our theories! On Windows, the TTL is set to 127, on my FreeBSD 6.1 box it's set to 246, and on Fedora 5 it's 243.

Re: [Nagios-users] Defining different notification behavior for the same service on different hosts
As part of the hackery I would have the first (live) service have all options set, and the second (test-bed) service simply use the first service as a template, and override the notifications_enabled setting (and obviously the host too.) That way you really only have one service to change should you need to. Andreas Ericsson wrote: Scott Greenman wrote: I can't any way to have the same service on two hosts have different notification rules. Am I missing anything? Say you have two hosts, 'A' and 'B'. The service 'S' is defined as existing on both hosts. If 'S' goes down on 'A', I want notifications sent. If 'S' goes down on 'B', I don't want any notifications sent. If I set the 'notifications_enabled' directive on the service to either on or off, it's wrong for one host or the other. If I set the 'notifications_enabled' directive on the two hosts, this only affects host notifications, it seems to have no effect on service notifications on those hosts. To get what I want, It seems I'd have to create two services, one with 'notifications_enabled' set to 1 and one with it set to 0 (zero). That would be a real pain because most of my services would have to be duplicated this way. We run one group of machines as our 'production' environment where notifications are turned on and another group of machines as a 'test' environment where notifications are turned off. Both of these are monitored by the same nagios server and both run the same set of services. Unless someone can suggest an alternative, I am planning on having notifications turned on for both environments, and add filtering in the script defined as the 'service_notification_commands' for the contacts. This has the down side that Nagios will show I sent notifications to both hosts, when some of those notifications will have been filtered out by my script. Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated. Sounds sensible. Since the two services really have different options defined, you can't keep them as one service without hackery. If the hackery lets you maintain configuration in a very simple manner I'd say it's worth it. Otherwise I'd go with creating two services. -- Andy Shellam NetServe Support Team the Mail Network an alternative in a standardised world p: +44 (0) 121 288 0832/0839 m: +44 (0) 7818 000834 - Take Surveys.

I shut down the httpd - however the service did not restart auto - so the

Have you tried running the restart-httpd command as the Nagios user
from the console?
Also, on my server Apache (2.2) takes roughly 3-4 seconds to start up,
and it looks like Nagios doesn't provide any delay between running the
event handler, and the subsequent check if httpd's running.
If the command works OK, try adding a sleep for 5 seconds command
(e.g. sleep 5 for bash) to your event handler script after Apache has
started.

Yes, there is a delay between the event_handler running and the next check for services at least. Whatever retry_check_interval is set to is the time nagios will wait to check again after executing the event_handler. Travis's retry_check_interval appears to be 1 minute (60 seconds). Ah, yes, sorry I was reading the Nagios log from bottom-to-top instead of top-to-bottom (don't ask why! It's been a long day!)

Have you tried running the restart-httpd command as the Nagios user from the console? Always a good suggestion. I never was able to run anything as the Nagios user. I tried to su nagios and got: The account is currently not available. If your Nagios user's shell is set to /sbin/nologin (good practice) that's why. So use sudo not su. You need to be reading your Operating System's sudo and sudoers man page to learn how to grant passwordless access to a user to run commands - the default /etc/sudoers file has an example of how to do this. You will need to add sudo at the beginning of your command in Nagios - e.g. sudo /usr/local/nagios/libexec/eventhandler.. I ran ./check-httpd as root and when I typed that in - nothing happened. The command is usually check_http and requires the relevant parameters (website address to check, status code to cause an error on etc.) It's basically checking to see that a visitor to a website would get a valid http response from your server - if httpd is not running, this won't happen and the Nagios check will fail. Run /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_http -h for more info (substitute Nagios plugins path as appropriate.) - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

Re: [Nagios-users] check_disk_smb
Create one service definition per share.
You could do, for each extra share:
define service {
use SMB
service_description SMB2
check_command check_disk_smb!backups!guest
}
You could then set up a dependency of the extra shares on the main share
so if the SMB service fails you won't get a notification for each
additional share.
Only one check_command per service/host is processed and it's the last
one in the list - hence why you're only seeing the backup share being
checked.

Read the above line again!!
HI Andy am kinda confused here: when you say i insert the values
2000,25% to the $ARG1$ and $ARG2$ respectively do you mean that i should
insert them in the check_ping command defination or what??
Kindly explain!
Thanks
OK there are a few ways of doing it - in your current definition, you
need something like this 2000,25% in anything that uses your
check_ping command - i.e. host, service, whatever.
I'll show you an example using a host definition.
Firstly, the way you're doing it:
define command {
command_namecheck_ping
command_line$USER1$/check_ping -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w $ARG1$ -c
$ARG2$ -p 5
}
You need to be passing, for example, 2000,25% as $ARG1$ and, for
example, 4000,50% as $ARG2$.
So, your object definition (in this example, host) will need to be as
follows:
define host {
...
check_commandcmd-Ping!2000,25%!4000,50%
...
}
Your check_ping command will then turn out to be something like:
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_ping -H 127.0.0.1 -w 2000,25% -c
4000,50% -p 5
The second way is the way I'm doing it at the moment.
The check_ping command:
define command {
command_namecmd-Ping
command_line$USER1$/check_ping -p 3 -t 10 -4 -H $ARG1$
-w $ARG2$,$ARG3$% -c $ARG4$,$ARG5$%
}
The object definition:
define host {
...
check_commandcmd-Ping!$HOSTADDRESS$!1000!20!2000!50
...
}
As you can see, a few more arguments need to be passed from the object,
but you can override any of the thresholds for one particular object.
Another way is simply to hard-code the values in your command, and
have no arguments passed in from the object.
The command:
define command {
command_namecmd-Ping
command_line$USER1$/check_ping -p 3 -t 10 -4 -H
$HOSTADDRESS$ -w 2000,25% -c 4000,50%
}
The object:
define host {
...
check_commandcmd-Ping
...
}
Hopefully this clears things up - but *don't forget to copy the mailing
list in* to your replies - hit Reply to all in your mailer and it'll
sort it out for you.

Re: [Nagios-users] Plugin issue
What's the command line of your check_ping command (as defined in Nagios?) The correct syntax is: /path/to/nagios/plugins/check_ping -H ip address -w 2000,25% -c 4000,50% whereby ip address is the IP of the machine to ping, 2000 is the round-trip time (in ms) to generate a warning, 25% is the packet-loss amount to generate a warning, and ditto for the critical. Also note there's a bug in the check_ping whereby if the critical parameters are incorrect, it says the error is with the warning parameters - so check that's not the case as well. And you do need the percent signs ;) Andy. [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi guys am still running nagios and now there,s this error am getting with the check_ping command.

Re: [Nagios-users] Parents on ubuntu
There is a much newer version of Nagios available, plus the version
you've reported appears to a CVS export, not a stable release.
Try downloading and compiling 2.6 from www.nagios.org and try again -
note you will possibly need to adjust your configs to suit Nagios 2.x,
but not by much.
Note you are also including u in your notification_options for the
host - this means that if the host is unreachable (ie. parent hosts are
down) you will still get a notification.
I'd set notification_options d,r in your generic-host template and
remove the override per host.

The exspected parent feature does not work though. If my internet
connection fails, i still get a error msg for each host, instead from
the parent provider-gateway.

Re: [Nagios-users] Fw: nagios alerts to pc
Why are you re-directing to a log file?
What does the output of
smbclient -M adminmachine -I adminip
give you?
Does the nagios user have write permissions on /tmp and
tmp/smbclient.log (e.g. if smbclient.log was created by root, Nagios
won't have write access to append to it.)

Hi,
Thanks for the reply,
I tried configuring alters using smbclient as mentioned in the following

I checked following
smbclient -M adminmachine -I adminip is working properly.
redirecting output of the to log file, does not shows any input to the file.

i suspect there must some problem with contact configuration.
define contact{

i intentionaly kept email object for the contact nagios-fw1, as putting
smbclient or address throws error Error: Invalid contact object directive
'smbclient'.
Kindly suggest if there any solution for the same.

[Nagios-users] Plugin error text confusion
After playing around with Nagios 2.6 and the latest plugins (1.4.5) I found a little inaccuracy in the text displayed in the check_ping plugin. For the plugin, consider the command: /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_ping -p 3 -t 10 -4 -H 10.100.9.201 -w 1000,20% -c 2000,50% This works. Take the percentage sign off the critical indicator so it reads -c 2000,50 - and you get: check_ping: %s: Warning threshold must be integer or percentage! ... displayed in the plugin status for Nagios. However the error is on the critical threshold not the warning threshold.

Re: [Nagios-users] Service Alerts and Notifications
Hmm, that's bad news. In other time settings within in the config you can set seconds. I only did this in my new Nagios server build which I haven't gone live with yet - the config checker doesn't throw an error so I'd assumed it was valid. Anyone else know this - In my case what I'd like to do is check each service every 5 minutes, then if it goes down, check 10 seconds later 3 times - so after 30 seconds if it's still down notify me. One of my routers can be flaky, and at least once a day it will fail a Ping check, but succeed straight away with the next one - therefore I don't want to have to wait a minute since it failed to find out that it's OK. I was going to alter the interval units setting in the config, but Nagios warns that the consequences are untested - anyone have anything further on this?

Re: [Nagios-users] Service Alerts and Notifications
Thanks for the info Wes, As it appears to work OK I'll try it out on my new box before it goes live, I was a bit cautious with all the warnings about un-tested consequences etc. Can you not do your web request with the check_http plugin, or does it require something a bit more complicated? Andy. wnorth wrote: Thanks Patrick that fixed it. I had to change the interval_length from 60 to 1 which equates to seconds now instead of minutes I have to specify all my values in seconds, as follows: max_check_attempts 3 retry_check_interval 30s normal_check_interval 300 This causes it to check every 5 minutes, if it receives a non-OK message back it will try 3 times before marking it HARD down, each interval check is set to 30 seconds, so 1.5 minutes before an alert is sent out. Also, I had to specify the notification_interval, which was set to 30 minutes by default, to 1800 which equates to 30 minutes. I think that value should probably be equal to if not greater by 2X the normal check interval, at least that's what I think. This way each time it checks if the condition is still bad it will notify, then again you don't want to get flooded, so perhaps every other time it checks send an email? It's really up to me to decide that. Oh well, onto the next task, trying to see if I can build some sort of transaction based monitor, which will hit a home page, navigate to a specific screen and execute a web query. This is where something like Gomez, Mercury or Netcool would be great at, with Nagios...have to think a bit more out of the box, besides its free right?

If 30 gives you 30 minutes, then it's probably set to 60 (60 seconds/1 minute). Sticking an s on your retry interval isn't going to change anything; it'll just be ignored.

Re: [Nagios-users] parent/child setup not working
If I understand it right, your host checks should not be scheduled - but
your service checks are.
So, every time a service requires checking and Nagios finds the service
is down, it checks the host to see if the host is down. If it is, then
it suppresses notifications for the service and instead goes into the
host's notification handling.
However I'm not sure if this is the case for escalated service
notifications. You have a notification_interval set - try commenting
this out (or setting to 0) and see if you then get the same thing happening.

Hi David,
I'm not clued up on parent/child relationships between hosts, however
one thing I believe might be happening is that the example of the
alert you've sent for the service - it might be a reminder
notification that the service is still down. (Perhaps as a result of
escalation settings?)
I think this is because it has a delay in the state variable - ie.
CRITICAL for x as opposed to just CRITICAL.
What's the definition for that service?

Hi;
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.
Running nagios 2.5 on debian-stable. I have the nagios server in
one data center monitoring 30ish servers in another data center.
In the hosts.cfg file I have a gateway (firewall) defined:
define host {
use generic-host; Name of host
template to use
host_name pix
alias PIX
address x.y.z.2
check_command check-host-alive
max_check_attempts 1
notification_interval 1
notification_period 24x7
notification_optionsd,u,r
}
I then use that as a parent to all the hosts I want to monitor in
the remote data center. Those have host entries like this;
define host {
use generic-host; Name of host
template to use
host_name logweb1
alias Logweb1
address logweb1.foo.com
parents pix
max_check_attempts 1
active_checks_enabled 0
notification_interval 1
notification_period 24x7
notification_optionsd,r
}
As I read the documentation, when nagios detects that host pix is
down that it won't check or report on host logweb1.
If the network connection is broken, however, by deleting the
default route, I get three messages that the pix is down that look
like this:
Subject:** PROBLEM alert 1 - PIX host is DOWN **
* Nagios *
Notification Type: PROBLEM
Host: PIX
State: DOWN for 0d 0h 0m 0s

And a few minutes later I get notice on the child server:
Subject: ** PROBLEM alert 1 - Logweb1/Check Simple Webservers is

* Nagios *

Re: [Nagios-users] Service Alerts and Notifications
Don't know if it helps, but on my services, I check services every 5
minutes.
If it fails, it retries 3 times every 30 seconds (so a max. of 1.5
minutes) then it sends me an e-mail/SMS (because it switches to HARD state.)
What this will do...
max_check_attempts 3
retry_check_interval 5
normal_check_interval 5
...is it will check your service every 5 minutes - if it goes off-line,
it will set it to a SOFT fail, wait 5 minutes then check again, if it
still fails (2nd SOFT fail), wait 5 minutes, then check again, then if
it fails a third time, you'll get a HARD fail - so in theory, if the
service is down, you won't find out for 15 minutes.
What might be better is:
max_check_attempts 3
retry_check_interval 1
normal_check_interval 5
This will check your service every 5 minutes - if it fails, it'll re-try
3 times with a 1 minute interval between each, so you'll get notified if
it's still down after 3 minutes.
What you can also do is set retry_check_interval to a seconds interval,
like:
max_check_attempts 3
retry_check_interval 5s
normal_check_interval 5
This tells Nagios to wait 5 seconds between non-OK states, and 5 minutes
between active checks.
You could of course also set max_check_attempts to 2 and
retry_check_interval to 1 - so the first-time it fails, it waits a
minute then checks again - and if it still fails you get a notification,
so in theory you only get a minute's lag.
hope this random rambling works for you :)

That is actually interesting, when the host goes down I see a HARD service
alert as follows:
HOST ALERT: ebro;DOWN;HARD;5;CRITICAL - Host Unreachable (10.0.33.8)
But for the check_http I only see the following:
SERVICE ALERT: ebro;Website App Server MS2;CRITICAL;SOFT;3;Connection
refused
Once I changed the retry interval to 1 and the max attempts to 1 I saw the
email, so I just wasn't waiting long enough...makes sense. In theory I would
want it to try 3 times in a row, if it fails send an email, then wait 5
minutes and retry again.
For that to work I tried the following:
max_check_attempts 3
retry_check_interval 5
normal_check_interval 5
This should force it to try 3 times before setting a HARD alert and wait 5
minutes between normal intervals, however that is not what it does, it
appears it sets the retry_check_interval to 5 minutes between non-OK service
alerts, so if I tell it to try 3 times, it will try 3 times and wait
in-between tries for 5 minutes, if I set it to 2 on the retry it will wait 2
minutes in between tries, which comes out to a total of 6 minutes. I'd
rather it fail after a minute or so, so if I set it to 0 it will inherit a
standard minute...the only way to solve this is to set it at a 1 minute
interval and just wait.
Sound about right?

Hi,
This is kind of stupid/obvious, but
a) I don't see a HARD service alert in your log snip for the service.
Did it actually get to that state? Your retry interval is 3 min, so it
would take you 15 min or so to get an alert.
b) If it did get to HARD, what was the cmd it tried to run is that a
valid cmd?
c) Did you kill all the old processes and restart Nagios w/ the new config?
I don't see anything obvious in your cfgs that wouldn't be working.

Re: [Nagios-users] Problem with check_pgsql
I think on Fedora you can edit /etc/ld.so.conf, then run ldconfig. Or make sure there is a symlink to the libpq.so.5 in /lib, /usr/lib and /usr/local/lib (just to cover all bases!) I had a similar problem on FreeBSD, and linking libpq.so.5 in /lib was the trick. Andy. Patrick Morris wrote: Hi Kaplan,!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but s3_class.inc.php is publicly available, no? Either way, securing against the average Joe is neither difficult nor sufficient. Just worth considering. Yes, as I've answered before, - a) you'd need to know the application is in fact NLG, b) you'd need to know which file to use and what to do with it, c) you'd need the correct part of the returned code, d) you'd need to know it's a base64-encoded serialisation of the poller object, and at the end of the day, you should use HTTP authentication on the poller feed anyway. Also as I've said before, the poller gives out nothing more than you can access through the front-end anyway (as it's designed to be a public interface) so it'd be a waste of time trying to crack the feed. I'm more worried about securing things like XSS attacks, which I'm pretty certain NLG is not vulnerable to as the GET variables are processed in some other way before-hand, they're not printed to the page verbatim.
