Re: [Nagios-users] Error while configuring NRPE on solaris
Hi, came across this just now while browsing my NAGIOS mail folder. From my notes on installing NAGIOS on Solaris 10: If getting SSL handshake error from nrpe, it may be that you don't have the SUN Solaris crypto packages SUNWcrman, SUNWcryr and SUNWcry installed. Install them in the order: SUNWcrman, SUNWcryr, and SUNWcry Note: they are in the Solaris_10/Product subdirectory of the Solaris 10 DVD # pkgadd -d . SUNWcrman SUNWcry SUNWcryr For the other error with the svc:/network/nrpe/tcp, I would suggest you delete the SMF profile for NRPE and recreate it following the instructions by Stephan Windmueller mailto:stephan.windmuel...@cs.uni-dortmund.de at http://ls5-www.cs.uni-dortmund.de/~windmueller/nagios-solaris10.html.

Re: [Nagios-users] Read Only CGI Patch
Hi, One option is to backup all your existing cgis then run make install-cgis. If anything goes wrong, you just copy the original cgis back into place. Alternatively, don't run make install-cgis, just backup your existing cgis, then manually copy the newly compiled cgi to your NAGIOS cgi directory (e.g., /usr/local/nagios/sbin) overwriting what's there already. If anything goes wrong, replace them with the backup.

Re: [Nagios-users] Custom report showing weekly Average/Max valuesfor CPU/RAM/SWAP/Availability
Hi, Thanks for the response. I will look into the RRDTool command line option. Yes, I am using NDOUTILS. I have actually examined a few of the tables and it looks like the base values that can be manipulated are in there (somewhere :-). I have looked at the NAGIOS email reporter and it's not what I want. In fact, I have implemented the same thing it does myself - i.e., query the standard NAGIOS cgis. The issue with this output is that what you get from the CGIs are not the performance data values, but the percentage of the time a particular measurement is over the warning/critical threshold. By the way, are there comprehensive entity-relationship type diagrams for the tables making up the NDOUTILS tables anywhere? Thanks.

That will give you a good basis for the concepts you will need to do do this. To obtain the textual values for these parameters, you'll need to use the command-line rrdtool program to fetch the values from the rrd files directly. rrdtool can fetch the AVERAGE value at each stored point during the week and you'll need to add those up and divide by the number of values to determine the single average value (man rrdfetch). You could also pick the MAX value from that output or maybe PNP also includes a MAX rra you can fetch. and Availability using a single row per server. The duration for the report is the previous one week (Monday 00:00 to Sunday 11:59PM) Nagios Email Reporter might be the ticket here. I think it should be possible if one knows the right tables to query and possibly how to string the right query together, but with very little idea of the tables, their relationships (not to mention that I am not a DBA) it's a very tall order for me.

Hi All, I would like to use both NTLM authentication and htpasswd authentication to grant access to the NAGIOS web interface.

I suspect I need to incorporate AuthType Basic in there somehow, but I have tried various option (specifying the htppasswd file too, but I usually end up with the authentication not functioning at all) The first access dialog box has the text Enter username and password for http://mynagios; and if I enter a valid Windows AD credential, I get logged in. If instead, I select cancel on this dialog box, I get a second access dialog box with the text A username and password are being requested by http://znlnagios. The site says: NAGIOS. If I supply a valid Windows AD credential, I get logged in also. This also brings me to a related issue, I cannot use the Downtime module - and any other module by which I can submit a command.

Re: [Nagios-users] Using both NTLM and htpasswd file authentication for NAGIOS web interface
I don't mind the users authenticating from one source, but the submit commands don't appear to work when authenticating against Windows AD (see my mail below). The reason I am using the NTLM auth module is to get single sign-on so that users are not prompted for their username/passwords once they are already logged into the Windows domain (which works). If I go with the apache password text file, then I will have another credential database to maintain (user account maintenance) and it means my users will have to learn another set of passwords. I also don't want to go the way of setting up a full SAMBA installation just to proxy the authentication to the domain controller. Thanks.

[Nagios-users] PNP swap template HOWTO
Hi All, By default I have nothing in the templates directory of my PNP installation so all my graphs use the Default Template. I noticed that this inverts the SWAP utilization graph i.e., the red and yellow lines (warning/critical) are very close to the bottom of the graph while the utilization shows as almost 100% (close to the top) instead of very low is it actually is. I have copied the check_swap.php from the templates.dist directory into the templates directory, deleted all the existing swap.xml and swap.rrd files, and restarted the npcd daemon. I have also tried renaming check_swap.php to swap.php. I noticed also that all my graphs use the Default Template and the XML files for all of them have TEMPLATEcheck_nrpe/TEMPLATE. As these files are generated automatically, how do I get the SWAP graph to use the SWAP template? What else do I need to do? I am using PNP version 0.4.13 Thanks.

Re: [Nagios-users] PNP swap template HOWTO
Hi All/Jim/Marc-Andre, Thanks for the response. I was actually able to figure it out while waiting - I didn't RTFM - not all at first :-) Here is what I did in case someone else finds it useful (and if possible correct me if I am wrong): # cd /usr/local/nagios/etc/pnp/check_commands # cp -a check_nwstat.cfg-sample check_nrpe.cfg # grep CUSTOM_TEMPLATE check_nrpe.cfg CUSTOM_TEMPLATE = 0,1 # cd /usr/local/nagios/share/pnp # cp -a templates.dist/check_swap.php templates/check_nrpe_check_dsk_swap.php # /etc/init.d/npcd restart Jim: The SWAP graph looks OK and I haven't noticed any changes in the other graphs (CPU, RAM, filesystems, PING, etc) - possibly because the check_nrpe defaults are the same as in the nwstat.cfg-sample file I created the check_nrpe.cfg from, and the check_nrpe_check_dsk_swap.php is only used for the SWAP graph while the default check_nrpe settings continues to be used for the other graphs? Marc-Andre: I assume apart from just placing your SWAP template in the templates directory, I still need to create the check_nrpe.cfg and check_nrpe_check_dsk_swap.php files as I did above?

The NRPE daemon and client binaries are located in the src/ subdirectory. ** If this is your monitoring host ** - Copy the check_nrpe client to the directory that contains your Nagios plugins. - Create a command definition in your Nagios config file for the NRPE client. See the README file for more info on doing this. ** If this host will be running the NRPE daemon ** - Copy the nrpe daemon to /usr/sbin, /usr/local/nagios or wherever you feel it fits best. - Copy the sample nrpe.cfg config file to /etc, /usr/local/nagios or wherever you feel it fits best. - Modify the /etc/services file and configure NRPE to run under inetd, xinetd, or as a standalone daemon. See the README file for more info on doing this.

RE: [Nagios-users] nrpe checks failing because of low ping
Is it possible to get your modified check_nrpe code? -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Steve Shipway Sent: 15 November 2005 00:00 To: 'Matt Rae'; nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: RE: [Nagios-users] nrpe checks failing because of low ping i'd like to just get the ping notification and to ignore the nrpe checks until ping has recovered. is there an easy way to do this? I modified the check_nrpe (and check_nt, too) code so that a 'connection refused', timeout or protocol error would result in an unknown, rather than a critical. This also means I get 'unknown' if the NRPE agent is not running (which is what I want, since the host is not necessarily in a critical state). Works for us, but you might want a failing agent to produce a critical. If this is the case, just add a flag to make this behaviour disableable.
