Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios Plugin for IPTABLES Monitoring

2013-05-14 Thread Deborah Martin
Hi,
What is the wrong output being returned ? This might give us all a clue as to 
the cause of the problem.
When you run the check manually, are you doing this as the same user that 
check_nrpe will use ?

I have tested below script but it is not returning correct output to nagios

If I execute script manually, it shows correct output...

But if I execute via  ./check_nrpe - H localhost -c check_iptables,  it shows 
wrong output.

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios Plugin for IPTABLES Monitoring

2013-05-14 Thread Deborah Martin
Ok - if I look at your output, manually,  when the plugin is run as the root 
user it produces the correct result.

But, you haven't said what the nrpe user is that is running on the remote node  
and whether the same manual run of the check produces the same output.
For example, I run remote plugins through nrpe as the nagios user so if I 
want to manually test a plugin on the remote node, I would first login as the 
nagios user to ensure I've got the same environment that would be used when 
running via nrpe. It might be that the variables you have set in the script 
only work as the root user. It's never a good idea to test as the root  user 
but only as the same user as that used by nagios or nrpe.

Deborah

[Nagios-users] Configuration changes not taking effect after restart of Nagios

2013-04-24 Thread Deborah Martin
Hi,

I'm using Nagios 3.4.4 on SLES 11 SP2. This has been running for around two 
months.

Recently I needed to change the configuration for a service escalation to 
remove a contact group that would get sms alerts. I restarted Nagios and 
everything ran fine.

However, it's been reported that recently, the team that shouldn't be getting 
the sms alerts are still getting them. When I look at the Configuration for 
service escalations, I can now see two entries for the same escalation, one 
which is the new , with the sms contact group removed and one with the old 
config which has the sms contact group included. But when I look at the actual 
.cfg file for the service escalation definition, there is not mention of the 
sms group anymore. I've checked, and re-checked and still I can't see why this 
has happened.

I've even stopped Nagios for a short while and restarted it from scratch and 
this still doesn't make any difference.

Has anyone else see any oddities like this where config changes don't seem to 
take effect after a restart of Nagios ?

Is there a cache file I can remove from the configuration forcing nagios to 
recreate it from scratch so that reads the rest of the .cfg files properly ?

Any pointers / ideas on where I go from here would be really appreciated.

Regards,
Deborah

[Nagios-users] Configuring NSCA for failover scenario

Hi Folks,

I have two nagios boxes, one production and one planned to be a proper failover 
box.

If I configure NSCA, as suggested in the docs I've read so far, do I put the 
send_nsca daemon on the production box so that it sends passive check results 
to the failover box ?

Thanks,

What user is your Nagios server running as?  Is it the same as the user that 
you are using on the command line?  Could you post more details about the exact 
check_memory command that you are using, there are several of them out there.  
The output you are getting from Nagios, is this on the web gui, or in one of 
the log files.

It could be many things related to the check scripts itself, who you are 
running as where you are running the command.  The command line is not always 
the same as when the server executes.

Check in /var/log/messages (or wherever you are logging to) on the server that

communicate via nrpe.

Also check you can run /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_disk -w 20% -c 10% -p

Is it owned by the nagios user,  does it belong to the nagios group (or

[Nagios-users] Use of customized macro in CONTACT definition

2012-04-25 Thread Deborah Martin
Hi,

I'm trying to define a customized contact macro so that I can pass it to an 
event handler

My contact definition is :-

define contact{
contact_nametest-admin
alias   test-admin
service_notification_period 24x7
host_notification_period24x7
service_notification_optionsw,u,c,r
host_notification_options   d,u,r
service_notification_commands   notify-by-email
host_notification_commands  host-notify-by-email
email   
deborah.mar...@kognitio.commailto:deborah.mar...@kognitio.com
_EMAILID 
deborah.mar...@kognitio.commailto:deborah.mar...@kognitio.com
}

Then in my script test I just do echo EMAILID=$NAGIOS__CONTACTEMAILID

This doesn't work. But if I put the same customized macro into a service 
definition and change the test script to EMAILID=$NAGIOS__SERVICEEMAILID
it works fine.

According to the docs, I'm specifying this correctly. I'm using nagios 3.2.0 on 
SLES10.

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...?

Thanks,
Deborah

Re: [Nagios-users] Use of customized macro in CONTACT definition

2012-04-25 Thread Deborah Martin
Alex, 

Thanks, but I set _EMAILID in my contact definition so by echoing it in my 
script 
via defining a service that calls that script as a plugin which has a contact 
defined as test-admin 
surely I have set it. 

According to the docs, nagios prefixes custom macros with NAGIOS__CONTACT if 
it's a contact definition macro which it is. So the environment variable 
becomes  $NAGIOS__CONTACTEMAILID - note the two underlines are correct and the 
_ prefix in the definition is stripped. As documented it states it's to avoid 
name collision with $NAGIOS_nagios_macro such as the macro $HOSTALIAS$ would 
expand to $NAGIOS_HOSTALIAS as an environment variable that can be used in 
scripts such as eventhandlers. But I could also have _HOSTALIAS which would 
expand to NAGIOS__SERVICEHOSTALIAS to make a distinction with 
NAGIOS_HOSTALIAS... 

And as mentioned when i take that _EMAILID and put in my service definition 
instead, the same script that now does echo EMAILID=$NAGIOS__SERVICEEMAILID 
works but the only difference is I've moved the EMAILID from part of a contact 
definition to a service definition yet the docs supports custom macros in a 
contact definitions. 

By docs I'm referring to the documentation link on the nagios web interface and 
search for macros.

Deborah

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.

 Hi,

 I’m trying to define a customized contact macro so that I can pass it to
 an event handler

 My contact definition is :-

 define contact{

 contact_name test-admin

 alias test-admin

 service_notification_period 24x7

 host_notification_period 24x7

 service_notification_options w,u,c,r

 host_notification_options d,u,r

 service_notification_commands notify-by-email

 host_notification_commands host-notify-by-email

 email deborah.mar...@kognitio.com mailto:deborah.mar...@kognitio.com

 _EMAILID deborah.mar...@kognitio.com mailto:deborah.mar...@kognitio.com

 }

 Then in my script test I just do echo “EMAILID=$NAGIOS__CONTACTEMAILID”

 This doesn’t work. But if I put the same customized macro into a service
 definition and change the test script to “EMAILID=$NAGIOS__SERVICEEMAILID”

 it works fine.

 According to the docs, I’m specifying this correctly. I’m using nagios
 3.2.0 on SLES10.

 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…?

 Thanks,

 Deborah

[Nagios-users] Flexible downtime not working

2012-04-02 Thread Deborah Martin
Hi,

We use Nagios 3.2.0 on SLES 10 SP2 to monitor a few hundred services.

Yesterday, we put a particular service into flexible downtime from around 7am 
to 2pm. However, it seems to still be stuck in flexible downtime so any alerts 
after 2pm haven't been sent out.

I'm not entirely sure why this is happening as I've used this before and never 
had any problems. Has anyone come across this before ? Is there a way to kick 
this service back into normal monitoring ?

Thanks,
Deborah

Re: [Nagios-users] Flexible downtime not working

2012-04-02 Thread Deborah Martin
Hi Claudio,

Thanks for info. But I'm a little puzzled.

I clarified the steps that were taken. It turns out that he didn't use Flexible 
but instead used fixed. However, he's sure that the dates were set to 1st April 
for the start and end date.
So, surely once the date changed to the 2nd April, at the very least, normal 
monitoring should have resumed or is that not correct ?

In fact I took your advice and removed the fixed downtime manually.


These are the nagios log entries I see for this service :-

The last entry is when I manually put the service back to normal monitoring.

Hello Deborah,

If you use Flexible Downtimes, don't forget to select Flexible from the 
Select-Menu (Type). Otherwise the fixed dates are taken (Start Date, End Date).

To remove a host or service from a scheduled downtime, click on Downtime in 
the left navigation. There you can delete the wanted entry.

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios check frequency

2012-01-23 Thread Deborah Martin
Wadud,

Surely, a check frequency of 60 minutes is not a good idea since, it could be 
that the node has been down for an hour before anyone knows anything about it ? 
 

I would recommend checking every 10 minutes to start with since that is the 
frequency you'd want to check if it was a NON-OK status anyway. You can set 
your notifications to be a longer period between checks which is how I 
configure Nagios. 

We check a database every 20 minutes for example, for RAM usage,  but only 
notify every 4 hours. So, users still get the initial alert that ram usage has 
breached a threshold but are only reminded every 4 hours. And of course, if 
there is a recovery  to an OK status within that 4 hours, 
users would be emailed as well. 

It works well for us and doesn't bombard users with emails either which means 
they are less likely to filter nagios alerts into the Deleted email folder. 

Of course, you probably have an excellent reason for only checking every 60 
minutes which I haven't thought of so this is really just my tuppence 
worth!

Deborah

Hi Andreas,

Thanks for the reply. The retry_interval will retry to ensure the service is 
actually down, which is the case here. This is set to three in my 
configuration. However, once it exceeds retry_interval and the service is 
deemed as not-OK, it is then that I want it to increase the check frequency. I 
couldn't find anything in the documentation.

 Hello Nagios users,

 I would like Nagios to increase the check frequency once the service

 check frequency to run at, say, every 10 minutes until the check has 
 reached an OK state.


Use retry_interval.

 I have set the max_check_attempts to three, and wanted to know if 
 this is the case when nrpe times out. Does it check nrpe checks 3 
 times even if it times out on the first attempt?


That depends on how you've configured it. Timeouts doesn't matter in 
the slightest for Nagios' scheduling logic though, so it will run the 
check 3 times if that's what you've configured.

Re: [Nagios-users] Next check jumps from 5min to 24h

2011-10-31 Thread Deborah Martin
Folks, 

I had exactly the same problem with the same version on SLES10 SP2,  when I 
came in this morning and realised that the last_check time was wrong for most 
checks. 

I had to jump start Nagios by disabling all active checks and reenabling them. 

This is weird problem but wondered if it was anything to do with the clocks 
changing over the weekend in the UK ? 
Perhaps it isn't if people in a non-UK timezone had the same problem ?

instead of the usual 5min later. I had to rescheduled all checks manually this

I'm running Nagios  3.2.0

Have someone heard about a similar issue?

[Nagios-users] Check_tcp - port monitoring best practice

2011-10-13 Thread Deborah Martin
Hi,

I just wondered what would be the best practice for monitoring ports. 

At the moment we specify 10,20,25 seconds for ok, warning and critical alerts. 
Is that too little - we are seeing a few critical alerts generated and wondered 
if 
increasing the thresholds would be better. 

What does a socket timeout generally mean as some of the ports we're 
monitoring are on systems which are idle at the moment. 
Could these be caused by network glitches between the nagios box and the target 
ports - the systems we're monitoring aren't local on the nagios network but in 
different parts of the world. 

I wonder if a local nagios instance would be better to try and reduce socket 
timeouts as otherwise people oncall are going to get called out quite a 
lot (?) 


Any input / ideas would be really appreciated.

Try adding apache to the nagios group...
As Apache needs to be able to read the object file thats where the cgis get

Re: [Nagios-users] Printer error

2011-06-29 Thread Deborah Martin
I wouldn't just restart Nagios and hope the problem goes away but try and find 
out why / where the problem lies.

Have you checked by running the plugin itself as the nagios user to ensure it 
works properly from the command line  ?

Does the plugin exist in the location that you've configured Nagios to look for 
it ?

Deborah

Usually we get this problem after a nagios reload and not a restart. So just

Re: [Nagios-users] Notification after Acknowledgment

2011-05-13 Thread Deborah Martin
Andre,

I wouldn't acknowledge it unless you plan to actually do something about it.

I use escalations which instigate callouts to engineers. When the oncall 
engineer acks an alert it means they are investigating. It would be pointless 
surely to ack something which you aren't going to do anything about.

Also, think about why you'd ack at 80% if it's just a warning. We have 
thresholds of 85% for disk usage warnings but in all honesty it's there as 
exactly that - a warning. We don't send notifications for warnings on disk 
usage. We just monitor via the web interface. Notifications are sent on 
critical alerts because that is the time when action needs to be taken and 
users need to pay attention.

But this is all based on our requirements rather than yours so this is just my 
tuppence worth!

Regards,
Deborah

Subject: [Nagios-users] Notification after Acknowledgment

Hi

Can you guys please give me your input on how you handle the following 
situation.

Lets take monitoring a disk as an example. For arguments sake lets say when the 
disk reaches 80% capacity I send out a warning and at 90% I send out a 
critical. There is also a Service Escalation configured to send out 
notifications when this service reaches critical.

So at 80 percent I get my notification all is well. I then go ahead and 
acknowledge the event and in doing so Nagios will not send out any further 
notifications. Which according to the Nagios logic is correct.

The problem is if the disk in the mean time reaches critical, 90% capacity, I 
won't get another notification. Not even the Service Escalation helps here, 
because the event has already been acknowledged.

Do you guys have any suggestions on how this problem can be solved?

Regards
Andre

It might be nice to have a flag in nagios.cfg or somewhere so that the

Hi

Can the default behavior for acknowledging an event be changed. As in can the 
default be changed from the Sticky Acknowedgement being always checked, to 
always unchecked?

I have read a post on the internet that this is hard coded and you would have 
to change the source and recompile in order to accomplish this. 
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.network.nagios.user/54147

This post is very old...maybe this has changed in 3.2.3?

[Nagios-users] Plugins for informatica and microstrategy

2011-04-05 Thread Deborah Martin
Folks,

Nagios 3.2.0 / SLES 10 SP2

Does anyone know if there are nagios plugins for monitoring informatica or 
microstrategy out there. Or could anyone point me to some scripts that I could 
adapt.

I've trawled through google but I get vast amounts of results back which are 
hit and miss on what I'm trying to achieve.

Any pointers and help would be really appreciated.

Thanks,
Deborah

Re: [Nagios-users] servicedependency problem

2011-01-27 Thread Deborah Martin
Jorn, 
You haven't mentioned which version of Nagios is running so I'll assume it's
3.2.0 which is the same as mine... 

I think I'd translate your servicedependency definition differently :- 

If functionality_LB is in w,c,u state don't do functionality_cl1 because  
funcationality_cl1 relies on functionality_LB to be in a non
warning,critical or unknown state for functionality_cl1 to work ? 


define servicedependency {
host_name  s.test.com
service_descriptionfunctionality_LB  --- Parent 
dependent_service_description  functionality_cl1 --- Child 
execution_failure_criteria w,c,u
notification_failure_criteria  w,c,u
dependent_hostgroup_name   hg_test
}

Think of a parent-child relationship where a child check should only run
if the parent is running ok. And if the parent is in a specific state
(w,c,u) surpress the child check and also notifications. So
functionality_LB is the parent and functionality_cl1 is the child in your
case. 
 
Hope that helps / makes sense.

Deborah

[Nagios-users] Differences of certain parameters set in Nagios.cfg

2010-11-25 Thread Deborah Martin
Folks, 

I'm running nagios 3.2.2 on SLES 10 SP2 

# HOST AND SERVICE PERFORMANCE DATA PROCESSING COMMANDS
# These commands are run after every host and service check is
# performed.  These commands are executed only if the
# enable_performance_data option (above) is set to 1.  The command
# argument is the short name of a command definition that you
# define in your host configuration file.  Read the HTML docs for
# more information on performance data.

service_perfdata_command=command to process performanace data 

and 

# HOST AND SERVICE PERFORMANCE DATA FILE PROCESSING COMMANDS
# These commands are used to periodically process the host and
# service performance data files.  The interval at which the
# processing occurs is determined by the options above.

service_perfdata_file_processing_command=command to process performance
data 

I'm using the parameter service_perfdata_file_processing_command to
process performance data for pnp4nagios. The first parameter
service_perfdata_command is commented out. But could I still use that
first parameter? It would solve a big issue I'm having if I could use it as
I need to keep a legacy set of performance data for reports at the same time
as being able to graph a a subset of the same data. 

Any help / pointers would be much appreciated. 

Thanks, 
Deborah

[Nagios-users] More than one command defined

2010-11-18 Thread Deborah Martin
Hi, 

I have a need to run two different commands when processing the performance
data from Nagios (3.2.2) 

I want the first  command to run the process-perfdata.pl script from
pnp4nagios and the second command to log various things to a different log
file. 

The reason is that we've only just had a requirement to process performance
data for pnp4nagios graphing. But historically we've created our own
performance data log 
which is then used within a database to produce SLA reports developed
in-house (no graphing just numbers produced for the SLA reports) 

If I do the following I don't get an errors when I run nagios -v nagios.cfg
... :- 

define command {
command_name process-service-perfdata-file
command_line first command - process performance data for
pnp4nagios
command_line second command - log different data to a different
file 
}

I'd like to avoid creating a script with both commands in if I can help it
as it's extremely useful to keep it simple and visible in the
misccommands.cfg file. 

Perhaps there is some other way I can do this or is a script with both
commands really the only way ? 

Any help / pointers would be really appreciated. If I'm being dense about
this and the answer is staring right at me feel free to say so! 

Thanks, 
Deborah

Thanks for the input everyone. Much appreciated. 

I'll try with merlin and see where that goes. And the script idea as well.
The trouble is Nagios is a complicated beast (to me anyway). Coupled with
that and getting pnp4nagios working as well this week, my head hurts from
config file overload :) 

Anyway all food for thought! 

Thanks again.

You could use Merlin and set the perfdata_table option in the database
section of the daemon compound. Then you can grab the perfdata items
from the merlin database. Note that you'll have to drop old entries
from that table every once in a while though, as the table will surely
grow huge otherwise.

That doesn't really let you have things visible in the misccommands.cfg
file though, so you'll have to pick your poison on this one.

Considering the successes of the wars on alcohol, poverty, drugs and

[Nagios-users] Best use of check_ntp_time plugin

2010-05-19 Thread Deborah Martin
Folks, 

We've had a problem recently where the timestamp has been drifting hours
ahead on the VM box running nagios. (v3.2.0 with SLES 10 SP2) 

As a consequence I'm setting up the plugin check_ntp_time to ensure that the
clock on the nagios monitoring box doesn't drift too far ahead (or behind.)
without 
telling us so that we can do something about it. 

For the threshold for warning and critical, I was thinking of -w 30 and -c
60 - would this seem sensible ? 

And also, if the alert did become critical because the drift was greater
than 60 seconds what would be a sensible way of fixing this without human
intervention. 
I thought that an event handler might be the way to go here that would
restart the ntpd daemon. 

I'd be interested to know what your thoughts are / whether there is a better
way ? 

thanks,
deborah

Folks, 

I'm using SLES 10 and Nagios 3.2.0. 

We have 4 oncall engineers which rotate over a 4 week period, each being
oncall one week at a time.

[Nagios-users] Business objects plugin

2009-04-14 Thread Deborah Martin
Folks, 

Does anyone know if a plugin exists for Business Objects. 

We have a requirement to replicate end users and their use of Business
Objects so that we can determine if they are receiving a service
within their agreed SLA. 

Basically, we want Nagios to connect to the BO environment and actually run
a BO report in the same way as the end user. 
I've googled but so far not seen anything that can help. 

If anyone has any ideas, pointers etc, it would be really appreciated. 

thanks,
deborah

[Nagios-users] Service latency suddenly through the roof

2009-03-23 Thread Deborah Martin
Hi, 

I'm running nagios 2.0b4, on suse 9.3. The plan is to upgrade to 3.0.6
(nagios) and SLES10 sp1. 

Recently, during some checking of the data that I collect for SLA reporting,
I noticed the service latency has gone through the roof!

The only recent change I've made is to put ssh checks as a host check. This
was to filter ssh checks away from the service problem web interface 
as we do have to shut nodes down from time to time but we don't want to be
alerted as a service problem.

I then had to introduce check_dummy as the service check (otherwise the
pre-flight check outputs hundred of lines stating the no services was
associated with  host).  The check_dummy service check is only done on a
Sunday once per host as it's a dummy check. I thought this would put less
load on Nagios (please correct me if I'm wrong) 

We regard service problems to only be checks against our databases. 

Does anyone know of what could set this servicelatency to suddenly increase
like this ? 

regards,
deborah

Re: [Nagios-users] Service latency suddenly through the roof

2009-03-23 Thread Deborah Martin
Andreas, 

Thanks for your reply. I completely agree with the suggestion of upgrading.
I'm currently 
migrating configs across to Nagios 3.0.6 with the hope of switching to this
box in about a week. 
I was hoping to keep the configs on the nagios 2.0b4 box fairly consistent
with the new box so we can 
run them in parallel for about a month before trashing it. 

Should I expect latency to be a lot lower with the new version of Nagios ?
I'm currently looking at the 
logs produced so far for the new version to see what the latency levels are
like. 

regards,
deborah

 Hi,
 
 I'm running nagios 2.0b4, on suse 9.3. The plan is to upgrade to 3.0.6
 (nagios) and SLES10 sp1. 
 
 Recently, during some checking of the data that I collect for SLA 
 reporting, I noticed the service latency has gone through the roof!
 
 The only recent change I've made is to put ssh checks as a host check. 
 This was to filter ssh checks away from the service problem web 
 interface as we do have to shut nodes down from time to time but we 
 don't want to be alerted as a service problem.
 

Did you also enable scheduled host checks? In 2.x, nagios stops everything
as soon as it runs a host check, so latency will naturally go through the
roof.

 I then had to introduce check_dummy as the service check (otherwise 
 the pre-flight check outputs hundred of lines stating the no services 
 was associated with  host).  The check_dummy service check is only 
 done on a Sunday once per host as it's a dummy check. I thought this 
 would put less load on Nagios (please correct me if I'm wrong)
 
 We regard service problems to only be checks against our databases. 
 
 Does anyone know of what could set this servicelatency to suddenly 
 increase like this ?
 

Since you're running a beta release that's more than 2 years old, I'm not
even remotely interested to guess or investigate this matter. At least
upgrade to latest 2.x stable (2.12, I think?). If the problem still
persists, then it's worth investigating.

[Nagios-users] Host checks instead of service checks

2009-03-16 Thread Deborah Martin
Hi Folks, 

Currently, the main nagios box (running old version of SuSE) and Nagios
2.0b4 is running just with service checks, one of which is an ssh check (we
don't allow ping) 

So in the web interface, I see all hosts as up. 

However, I've built a new box (which hopefully will replace the above) with
SLES 10SP1 and Nagios 3.0.6. I've put the same config files (services.cfg
and hosts.cfg) 
on the this new system. But now the hosts all show as Pending. So I then
moved the ssh check from a service check to a host check and can see that
the more hosts I move the  less hosts are pending. That's good so far...

But, when I run the pre-flight check (/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v
nagios.cfg), I now get warnings to say some hosts don't have any service
checks associated with it! 
This is true as some nodes will only have ssh checks against them whilst
others will have other checks against them. I'd rather it didn't warn me as
I have hundreds
of hosts appear in the pre-flight check warnings and it now looks incredibly
untidy to see all this. 

How can I get rid of these warnings ? 

I'm probably missing something here so any help would be appreciated. I'm
wondering for example, if I should force the initial state to be UP for
hosts rather than 
moving the ssh service check to a host check. But then what would happen if
the service check found a node was down - would it reflect that in the host
problems ? 

regards,
deborah

You could use check_dummy for the host check and just have it always return
OK.
Or perhaps the opposite you could add a check_dummy service check for all
hosts.

Which you choose will depend upon your personal preference and how you want

Re: [Nagios-users] Host checks instead of service checks

2009-03-16 Thread Deborah Martin
Folks, 

I should have also mentioned that the reason for doing this is to filter out
host problems separately to service problems. 
If I leave ssh checks as a service and 44 nodes are switched off, I see 44
ssh critical alerts under Service Problems. I'd rather see 44 ssh critical
alerts under
Host Problems. (I thought my method below would a good way to filter these
out). When we resize database systems, we only want to know about critical
alerts 
for the database as a service problem (we may reduce a DB by 50 nodes but DB
is still valid for monitoring)

deborah

Re: [Nagios-users] Host checks instead of service checks

2009-03-16 Thread Deborah Martin
Folks, 
 
Whilst using check_dummy as a service check does resolve the pre-flight
warnings, it's not the solution I think I'm looking for. 
 
The total number of service checks now includes the dummy checks which i've
chosen to always exit as UP so that it doesn't show up as a service problem
- which to me 
doesn't sound like the right way to do this. I want all service checks to be
useful service checks rather than have checks which would need to be ignored
as they don't return
anything useful as with check_dummy - I wouldn't ever use that check in any
Nagios SLA reporting.  
 
What I really want to do is the following : 
 
Hosts -- ssh check -- When CRITICAL alert under Host problems only. 
 
The docs show a distinct difference for behaviour between Nagios 2.0b4 and
Nagios 3.0.6. 
 
From Nagios 2.0b4, under Host Definitions:- 
check_command:   This directive is used to specify the short name of the
http://193.35.206.171/nagios/docs/xodtemplate.html#command command that
should be used to check if the host is up or down. Typically, this command
would try and ping the host to see if it is alive. The command must return
a status of OK (0) or Nagios will assume the host is down. If you leave this
argument blank, the host will not be checked - Nagios will always assume the
host is up. This is useful if you are monitoring printers or other devices
that are frequently turned off. The maximum amount of time that the
notification command can run is controlled by the
http://193.35.206.171/nagios/docs/configmain.html#host_check_timeout
host_check_timeout option.  
 
 
From Nagios 3.0.6 
check_command:   This directive is used to specify the short name of the
http://193.35.206.117/nagios/docs/objectdefinitions.html#command command
that should be used to check if the host is up or down. Typically, this
command would try and ping the host to see if it is alive. The command
must return a status of OK (0) or Nagios will assume the host is down. If
you leave this argument blank, the host will not be actively checked. Thus,
Nagios will likely always assume the host is up (it may show up as being in
a PENDING state in the web interface). This is useful if you are
monitoring printers or other devices that are frequently turned off. The
maximum amount of time that the notification command can run is controlled
by the
http://193.35.206.117/nagios/docs/configmain.html#host_check_timeout
host_check_timeout option.  
 
The difference is highlighted in RED. So on changing the ssh check  from a
service to a host definition (to prevent PENDING on the hosts), the
pre-flight warnings now complain there are no services associated with the
hosts. On big systems here (100 nodes+) this makes the pre-flight output
really unreadable and not really accurate as surely we should be able to
choose whether something is a host check or service check but not have to
define BOTH!
 
Ultimately, I just want to filter SSH check problems to appear under Host
problems rather than under Service problems so users can easily spot
other service problem issues and not have to trawl through 100's of lines of
output in the web interface. Believe me, Nagios web interface users can be a
fickle bunch! 
 
A switch to tell Nagios to not complain about this would be really useful
unless anyone thinks of a good reason why this would be a bad idea. 
 
any help / pointers would be appreciated, even if it's to tell me politely
how stupid i'm being - I can take it! 
 
regards,
deborah

[Nagios-users] Using SLES10 and Nagios 3.x under VMWare

2009-02-19 Thread Deborah Martin
Hi, 

I've never used SLES10 + Nagios 3.x as a VM Ware box and I wondered if any
of you had come 
across any issues that I should be aware of. (A new environment is being
built in this way to replace 
an old PC running nagios) 

Basically, the nagios 3.x setup is very simple. We use it to monitor
database activity such as
RAM or disk usage amongst others using plugins that I wrote.

Nagios monitors a few other nodes using ping or ssh but other than that it's
not a complicated setup. 

Any feedback / advice on running Nagios within VM Ware would be really
useful. 

thanks,
deborah

Hi Christian, 

The vmware environment (i.e Sles10) is built by IT services here so I don't
have any insight on this part. 

I shall then build nagios from source so that I have a more granular control
over where things go although it's mostly 
to standard places i.e /usr/local/nagios etc

Hi,
we've used an vmware image for testing our config and new nagios packages
and everything went fine. We now changed to xen guests because I prefer xen
;)

I see no problems with running nagios in a virtual machine.

Do you use the official packages from SLES or the ones from buildservice? Or
do you install nagios from sources?

Greetings,
Christian

[Nagios-users] Is there a size limit in the Email directive of a contact definit ion

2009-01-30 Thread Deborah Martin
Hi, 

Just wondered if anybody knew of a limit as to the number of email addresses
or rather is there a limit to the number of characters I can specify in
total
for the email directive in the contact definition. 

I want to add four addresses which are of the form
mobilenumber@mail2txt160.net. 

I've looked at the docs and there is no mention of a character limitation
but I'm thinking that doesn't mean there isn't one (it could just be so
large that it's not 
likely to ever be reached perhaps (?) or it's just not documented!) 

Or would it be better practice to create four new separate contacts and then
add those to the contact groups directive in my service definition ? 
(This is only a temporary measure so I'd to do the least amount of admin in
setting this up as it it will be activated for only 3 days at most) 

thanks,
deborah

[Nagios-users] Migrating from Nagios 2.0b4 to Nagios 3.03

2008-12-29 Thread Deborah Martin
Hi,

I'm using Suse 10 / Nagios 3.03. 

I have migrated all of my .cfg files across to Nagios 3.03 and all seems to
work well except that, I still have all the host 
checks still pending on nagios 3.03. But on Nagios 2.0b4, all the hosts have
a status of up. (Each version runs on it's own dedicated box.) 

I only define service checks such as an ssh check per host to ensure a host
is up (ping isn't allowed) 

Is this a known behaviour difference between the versions ? Do I need to
make some changes to this new version ? 

Any pointers / ideas would be much appreciated. 

regards,
deborah

[Nagios-users] Alerts generated when max_check_attempts set to 3

2008-11-24 Thread Deborah Martin
Hi, 

Just a quick question - I'm changing the max_check_attempts from 1 to 3 for
a specific plugin and I wondered, does this mean that an email notification
won't go out until the 3rd attempt is reached ? (Which is what I want to
achieve). Or will all 3 attempts generate an email notification. 

The docs say the following :- 

max_check_attempts: This directive is used to define the number of times
that Nagios will retry the service check command if it returns any state
other than an OK state. Setting this value to 1 will cause Nagios to
generate an alert without retrying the service check again. 

Am I understanding this correctly ? 

Thanks,
Deborah

Yes you are.

If you have a host notification and set max_check_attempts to 1 and, let's
say you also have check_interval to 60 (1 min) for a host then disconnect
the cable, within the next minute Nagios check will fail and send immediate
notification of host down because the check attempt was 1.  If you say
max_check_attempts is 3, and do the same thing, the host will show as down,
but unless you reconnect within the next couple min before that 3rd check,
Nagios won't send out a notification.  Once it hits that 3rd check and is
still in a down state, it will then send notification of host down.  If by
the 3rd check it has recovered, no notification is sent.

[Nagios-users] Service check timeouts

2008-11-24 Thread Deborah Martin
Hi, 

I have a service check plugin which basically runs a query against our
database (It's not a database that has standard plugins already in existence
e.g Oracle, Mysql, SQL Server etc etc ) which I've written. 

Based on it's success or failure, most errors come from the database so I
can manipulate the error handling tell Nagios what it's exit status should
be. 

However, every now and again I get an error 'Service Check Timed Out' and
the exit status changes to CRITICAL automatically. But I'd rather it didn't 
Is there a way to manipulate this exit status - I'd rather it was set to
UNKNOWN. 

As far as I understand it, this error is based on the plugin itself having a
timeout which I've set to 120 seconds (nagios.cfg:
service_check_timeout=120) 
The timeouts we set for the database vary between 15 and 90 seconds
(depending on the each database requirement for this) 

Or is there a way of looking at the $SERVICEOUTPUT$ string returned by
Nagios and grepping for 'Service Check Timed Out' and manipulating the 
exit code that way ? 

I'm using v2.0b4 but I know there is a way of using the macros as
environment variables in later versions of Nagios. If I can't resolve
it until I upgrade then that's fine. 

If anyone has any pointers on the way forward for this it would be really
appreciated. 

thanks,
deborah

   if you define the check_command in the template, but want to change the

put in
   the service definition overrides the template definition. Very useful

   What you're talking about sounds like Service Profiles, which, I

[Nagios-users] Plugin to check Business Objects

2008-03-06 Thread Deborah Martin
Hi, 

Is there a plugin for nagios to check whether Business Objects is running.
We have it running through Citrix - I've implemented the 
plugin to check an Application is being published using one of the citrix
plugins but I need to monitor Business Objects to ensure it is running
properly.

Any help / pointers would be appreciated.

[Nagios-users] Accessing macros as environment variables

2008-02-19 Thread Deborah Martin
Hi, 

I want to access some of the macros such as $SERVICEOUTPUT$ as an
environment variable. I've installed and configured Nagios 3.0rc2 and its
all working fine. 
I have enabled enable_environment_macros=1 in nagios.cfg 

Does anyone have any idea of how I can access the macro from a shell script
for example ? Are the environment variables prefixed with anything ?  I
can't seem to find it in the docs or FAQs elsewhere. 
Any pointers would be much appreciated! 

thanks,
deborah

Re: [Nagios-users] how to display statusmap?

2006-08-09 Thread Deborah Martin



usually statusmap.cgi is found in /usr/local/nagios/sbin which is aliased 
to cgi-bin within apache. 

It 
could be that you need gd-devel as well as gd installed when compiling the cgi's 
as i had this problem when upgrading to nagios 2.5 

Do you 
get the same problem when trying to view trends ? 

If you 
built from source, try looking in the source directory/cgi to see if you have 
the statusmap.c and .cgi - if not check you have gd-devel installed. 


If you 
built from RPMS then try finding out if the right RPMS were installed.

actually you can use

The .htaccess is

add it to the main httpd.conf. If you have root access, its almost always

ok - somewhere in 
the nagios docs are the details with regard to setting up .htaccess but 






I think there is a 
utility in the nagios install directory under bin called htpasswd or 
htpasswd2 and you run this util to generate a htpasswd.users file 
where

all the users that 
have web interface access are stored including nagiosadmin. I store mine in 
the etc install directory. 



Then in my 
.htaccess file i have the following 



AuthName "Nagios 
Access"AuthType BasicAuthUserFile 
/usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.usersrequire 
valid-user





This file resides 
in the sbin directory (which is also cgi-bin). Note though - change the 
AuthUserFile path to wherever you are storing the htpasswd.users file. 






When i was getting 
the 'return from whence you came error', this was exactly my problem - i 
hadn't set up authorisation correctly and the above was how i fixed it. 





hope this helps.

  First off, please do not REPLY to a message if you're not replying 
  tothat message. Post a NEW message.
  
  Secondly, Nagios' design separates Hosts from Services. Nagios 
  does not actively monitor hosts. Yes, it checks hosts, but it does not 
  monitor them. What's the difference? Think of hosts as points or 
  intersectionsalong a road, services as being houses along the side of 
  these roads. Nagios only monitors houses (services). If for some 
  reason it cannot reach a house, it checks to see if there is a problem in the 
  road (host)preventing it from getting to the house (service), and 
  reports these findings to you.
  
  If 
  you wantNagios to work like CA's product, that can be done as well, but 
  you'll lose ther ability to determine where along the roadway is the 
  problem. To do this,use check_cluster for your 
  check-host-alive.

Dear All,

I am a newbie with Nagios but long time user of Enterprise Management 
(CA Unicenter in particular)...

Here is my suggestion (not sure If i implemented correctly...) or it 
has been designed this way.

Suppose I am monitoring a Server which I am trying to monitoring 
the following:
 Ping, disk space, Load...

And i set the threshold for my disk space.. and the disk space exceeds 
my critical threshold; therefore, the status for my Disk Space Watcher 
is Red (Critical)...

According to what i see right now.. the status for the whole server is 
GREEN.. I am not sure it is supposed to be green? Isn't it supposed to 
be RED because of the propagation from a child level?

Hope my explanation is clear enough.

Best regards,

It's OK for the starting of Nagios. It missed the /var/run/nagios.pid file.

Thank you.

But in Nagios, if I select menus, the message is : 

Whoops!

Error: Could not read object configuration data!

Here are some things you should check in order to resolve this error:

   1. Verify configuration options using the -v command-line option to check
for errors.
   2. Check the Nagios log file for messages relating to startup or status
data errors.
   3. Make sure you've compiled the main program and the CGIs to use the
same
object data storage options (i.e. default text file or template-based file).


Make sure you read the documentation on installing, configuring and running
Nagios thoroughly before continuing. If all else fails, try sending a
message
to one of the mailing lists. More information can be found at
http://www.nagios.org.

What want to say?

 Hello,
 
 
 
 Nagios don't start in my computer (/etc/init.d/nagios start). If I do
 /etc/init.d/nagios status, an error message appears :
 
 
 
 ERROR: list of process IDs must follow -p

Based on what you said previously, it probably means that nagios isn't
starting or isn't able to create the pid file. Try running manually and
look for errors with '/path/to/nagios /path/to/nagios.etc'.

Make sure nagios can write to the files you've specified as lock_file,
state_retention_file, comment_file, downtime_file and temp_file in
nagios.cfg. Make sure the command_file directory exists and is
configured as per the documentation if you have enabled external
commands.

As for your CGI errors, the http logs you provided show no attempted
access to any of the CGI's. Why is that?

Since you're using RHEL4, you'll want to verify that either SELinux is
disabled or you've created a policy that allows http access to the CGI's
and possibly daemon access to other files. If you see 'avc denied'
errors related to nagios in /var/log/messages then you need to disable
or modify your SELinux policy. There are several discussions in the
archives on how to do this.

If the configuration can't be read, check the paths in the nagios.cfg
correspond to the correct locations of the 
.cfg files. Check permissions and owner of the files. 

When you run the nagios -v nagios.cfg preflight check what is the output ?

Hi all !

My S.O. is a RedHat 3.0 ES.
Any idea?

RE: [Nagios-users] service dependencies problem

2006-05-31 Thread Deborah Martin
One of your (many) definitions is : 

define servicedependency{
  host_name   sonorys_gateway
  service_description PING
  dependent_host_name sonorys_checkpoint
  dependent_service_description   PING
  notification_failure_criteria   c,u
  execution_failure_criteria  c,u

I don't think you can have dependency_service_description being the same as
the 'service_description' as it will just loop. 

In the nagios -v check, you should probably have also seen under 'Checking
service dependencies' an error 
along the lines of 'dependency definition for service 'yourservice' on
host yourhost is circular (it depends on itself'  

I've just tested this scenario and errors are the same as yours.

I also noticed the errors only occur when the dependent service is the same.
When different, there doesn't appear to be a problem. 

Test this! Remove all of the definitions so that you are only left with the
ones that match in both the service_description and the
dependent_service_description and run the nagios -v check again. You'll get
the 
same errors again. Then add one definition where the descriptions were
different. You'll see the difference.

Does Nagios support service groups ? I want to create a group called
Fil Print Servers which contains all the servers that perform file and
print duties. That service group would then have a group of commands
associated with it, so that any server that's part of that group also
inherits these services ?

I'm finding that most of my servers fall in to one of four groups, each
group sharing similar services.

Thanks!!

I do not believe you have to restart.  I have added components to my
nagios configuration and it just took effect without any issues.  I
think that state retention might cause problems with this, but I am not
sure.  If it does, you could have nagios reread the configuration files
using '/etc/init.d/nagios reload'.   I am not too experienced in this
area, so I defer to other more experienced users here who may be able to
give you a better answer.

you.

My question still remains. If the configs are rebuilt does nagios need
to be 
restarted?

 I will try that. Does Nagios need to be restarted everytime the script
 rebuilds the config? (say if there is a new host added to the DB or
one
 changes) to recognize the changes?

RE: [Nagios-users] Is this possible: Debugging Nagios -- logging commands and their exit codes.

2006-04-25 Thread Deborah Martin
Have you tried manually running the plugin on the command-line ? 

'No output' usually means Nagios doesn't get a result back that it
understands. 

A manual test of the plugin may tell you why...

Subject: [Nagios-users] Is this possible: Debugging Nagios -- logging
commands and their exit codes.


Using Nagios 2.1. When adding things to the .cfg files sometimes things
go wrong. The output of a plugin is then for example  'No output'. This
is NOT very usefull at all. It would be usefull to see which cmd is
really being executed. Am I missing here something or.

Older msgs on the mailinglist (don't know for which versiion) suggest
trying to log things usings commands like 'ps -efUnagios PID or top
and putting things in a logfile. Doesn't workl that well for me.

The only thing I can come up with is the following. Hopefully you can
provide me with a better solution.

Extending the command_line option for a command.

define command {
 command_name check_ping
 command_line  command_to_exec
}

When I change  it to the following I get things logged in a logfile

define command {
 command_name check_ping
   command_line  /bin/echo command_to_exec   /tmp/ping.log
}

Of course this is NOT a very good solution. Though  the commands you
want to log is added to the logfile but the command is NOT executed. 
UNFORTUNATELY the following is NOT possible.

command_line  command_to_exec ; echo command_to_exec  
/tmp/ping.log

Everything after the ; is removed be Nagios (checked objects.cache). 

The only thing I can imagine which hopefully  wil do the trick is the
followig.

define command {
 command_name check_ping
 command_line /user/home/jbessels/log_and_exec_cmd.sh
command_to_exec  
}

The log_and_exec_cmd.sh script should do the following:

Parse the commandline args  supplied to  log_and_exec_cmd.sh  to get
the cmd to execute (will be called $cmd)
echo $cmd  /tmp/logfile
execute $cmd and store contents in pluginoutput variable
store exit code of cmd run in returncode variable
echo $pluginoutput variable  /tmp/logfile

echo $pluginout 
exit $returncode

The last two lines are crucial I think. Because command_line has to
return an ascii string and and exitcode.

Does perhaps anyone have created such a script. If so I would be VERY
happy if you could supply me with it. Haven't that much time to figure
it all out..

If what I do is nonsense and can be accomplished in a better way I
would like to know also.

PS.  I had hoped Nagios would have had support for this kind of things
out of the box, but maybe I didn't RTFM thoroughly enough.

Grtz,
Jan Bessels

[Nagios-users] DEPENDENCIES

2006-02-08 Thread Deborah Martin
Hi, 

I have dependencies working mainly fine. However, i'm still not 100%
satisfied that its behaving correctly. 

Using Nagios 2.0rc2 on suse 9.2 (i've used later releases for testing but
behaviour is the same) 

I have one main service which is a database connection plugin to ensure the
database is up and running. 
I have 3 additional dependency plugins which do various other checks such as
ram and disk usage. 

When the main database plugin check goes to warning or critical I want to
suppress email notifications on the 3 remaining checks as there is no point
in running these (they won't return anything useful apart from timeouts). 

However, this rarely happens. Usually, I get the main check email
notification plus 1 other email notification from one of the dependencies
(though it may not always be the same dependency) 

Is there something i'm missing here ? Why can't it supress all three as i
would expect ? Do i need to set a parameter setting somewhere ? 

My main plugin checks every 5 mins with the dependencies every 20 mins.
Should i change these timings to something different and if so why ? 

This is driving me somewhat insane and any pointers / help would be very
welcomed. 

regards,
deborah

[Nagios-users] Plugin return codes

2006-02-02 Thread Deborah Martin
Hi, 
I'm using Nagios 2.0b4 on Suse 9.2 

I have some plugins which do various database checks such as disk usage. In
the plugin, I want to define
the exit codes depending on the status of the check. I noticed that there is
an exit status of 
STATE_DEPENDENT (defined in utils.sh which comes with the nagios plugins
package) 

When should this exit status be used. I'm guessing it should be when a
service check is a dependency and its
master service has failed and therefore the dependency should exit with this
status. Am I correct ? The documentation
lists the other exit state codes (0,1,2,3) but doesn't mention 4. I've
checked 2.0b6 docs as well.

BTW - When i use the STATE_DEPENDENT exit code for a dependency service
check I get the error 
'Return code of 4 is out of bounds' 

I have the dependency service check defined in dependencies.cfg 

Any pointers / help would be very appreciated. 

thanks,
deborah

RE: [Nagios-users] Dependency issue

2006-01-09 Thread Deborah Martin
thanks for the tip but this doesn't work. 

It seems that its very dependent on when the next scheduled check will be.
If I set max_check_attempts to 5 for services
B or C, and then have max_check_attempts set to 1 on service A, it makes no
difference. Service B or C could still
be scheduled to be checked before service A. In fact, on the first check
attempt for service B, for example, a critical 
alert is generated. 

I want Nagios to detect that Service B or C is a dependency on Service A,
and then if Service A is alerting, suppress alerts for Service B or C. 
But nagios doesn't seem to do any kind of dependency lookup if a dependency
is already alerting. Kind of defeats, in my view, the logic
of dependencies. There is no point in Nagios telling me that Service B or C
is down, when Service A is down. Service A must be UP for any of its
dependencies to work. 

If however, Service A is OK, then yes - Service B or C should alert if
necessary. 

If I were to have 20 dependencies against a master service, I don't want 20
potential alerts being generated! Plus I want to know the EXACT cause of the
problem not have to hunt it down every time. Isn't that one of the points of
Nagios - to be able to finely tune plugin checks so that we can 
easily investigate a problem ? It seems that I needn't bother with
dependencies if this is how it's going to work. 

Does anyone else agree / disagree because it seems to me that either the
docs are not explaining dependencies correctly, or Nagios 
is not behaving correctly. I would appreciate feedback on this issue. 

regards,
deborah

If Service B happens to be queued to be checked before Service A is, you'll
get notified of it's problem first, so that's why it's only sometimes that
you get this behavior.

As for simple solution to your question, increase the max_check_attempts of
Service B/C, so that Service A will error out before Service B/C does, thus
skirting the check queue phenomenon.

Is there a way in Nagios that can flip over to only alerting for Service A
in this situation and supress anything for Service B and Service C until
recovery occurs. 

Do I need to define further service dependencies or use inheritance of

couple of situations where Service B or Service C may fail first, generate an 
alert AND then Service A fails which also generates an alert. 

Is there a way in 
Nagios that can flip over to only alerting for Service A in this situation and 
supress anything for Service B and Service C until recovery occurs. 


Do I need to define 
further service dependencies or use inheritance of parent ? I've read the docs 
(several times) but can't seem to find the answers there. 
 

I'm using Nagios 
2.0b4/ Suse 9.2. 

Any help, pointers 
to docs that can help, or even a padded cell would be much appreciated!

[Nagios-users] Dependency issue

2006-01-06 Thread Deborah Martin



Hi, 

I have setup 
dependencies which all seem to work fine to a point. 

Example : I have 1 
host with 3 services 

 
HOST A 
 
| 
Service 
A(master service) 
|
---
 
||
Service 
BService 
C

If service A 
fails, checks and notifications are suppressed for Service B and Service C which 
is fine. 

However, i've had a 
couple of situations where Service B or Service C may fail first, generate an 
alert AND then Service A fails which also generates an alert. 

Is there a way in 
Nagios that can flip over to only alerting for Service A in this situation and 
supress anything for Service B and Service C until recovery occurs.

RE: [Nagios-users] Sound notification on nagios server

2005-12-14 Thread Deborah Martin
Have you enabled sound in cgi.cfg ?

Subject: [Nagios-users] Sound notification on nagios server


Hello all.

I searched the web for this but could not find a proper solution. I am
trying to make the nagios server (not the web gui) play a sound when
there is something wrong. In this effort, I set:



misccommands.cfg:

define command{
command_nameplay_siren
command_line/sbin/sirene.sh
}



/sbin/sirene.sh:

#!/bin/bash
data=`date`
echo $data Making noise  /var/log/buzina.log
/usr/bin/aplay -q /usr/share/nagios/htdocs/media/critical.wav



contacts.cfg:

define contact{
contact_namesirene
alias   Sound card on sever
service_notification_period 24x7
host_notification_period24x7
service_notification_optionsw,u,c,r
host_notification_options   d,u,r
service_notification_commands   play_siren
host_notification_commands  play_siren
email   [EMAIL PROTECTED]
}



contactgroups.cfg:

define contactgroup{
contactgroup_name   buzina
alias   Placa de som na cedro
members sirene
}



hosts.cfg:

define host{
use generic-host
host_name   teste
alias   Just for fun
address 10.0.0.124
check_command   check-host-alive
max_check_attempts  20
notification_interval   60
notification_period 24x7
notification_optionsd,u,r
}




services.cfg:

define service{
use generic-service
hostgroup_name  teste
service_description PING
is_volatile 0
check_period24x7
max_check_attempts  3
normal_check_interval   5
retry_check_interval1
contact_groups  router-admins,buzina
notification_interval   240
notification_period 24x7
notification_optionsc,r
check_command   check_ping!100.0,20%!500.0,60%
}



I have a sound card attached to the server, and issuing this command by
hand I can hear the sound. But when the test server is down the command
is not executed. The machine is an ubuntu 5.10 running kernel
2.6.12-10-k7, and nagios-mysql 1.3-cvs.20050402-4ubuntu3.

Please let me know if you need further information. Thanks in advance
for any help or hint.

Best regards,

RE: [Nagios-users] Sound notification on nagios server

2005-12-14 Thread Deborah Martin
probably a dumb question - but why have the sound on your server and not
through a client front-end ? 
Surely a nagios server would be hosted in a computer room somewhere and the
clients would be those monitoring
from their desktops ? Or why not have a web browser open on the server then
?

Yes, but this regards only for web clients browsing nagios, and it is
working fine. BUT, I want the sound to be played on the nagios server,
not my workstation.

RE: [Nagios-users] CGI error in 2.0b4 2.0b5

2005-11-23 Thread Deborah Martin
Actually, just looking at my 2.0b4 build directory under sample-config and
nagios.cfg 
states 

[EMAIL PROTECTED]@/nagios.log

so i don't think that can be the issue.

 Same here.

 Not tried within all cgis, but status.cgi gives me this error  
 sometimes.
 Not sure if it is about 3% of time, but i've seen this error before.
 SuSE9.3, x86, with practically the same configure options.

I've got a small Nagios 2.0b5 installation I am playing with, but  
haven't come across this.

I've run a small loop to hammer the status.cgi but no errors after  
1000 iterations:

cd /usr/local/nagios/sbin
i=0; while [[ $i -lt 1000 ]] ; do REQUEST_METHOD=GET  
REMOTE_USER=admin ./status.cgi  /dev/null; if [[ $? -ne 0 ]] ; then  
echo Error; break; fi; let i=$i+1; done

I'm running on Debian 2.6.8-2-386.

I notice that the error Hans got from the strace was for nagios.log.  
However, the sample configuration file for Nagios 2.0b5 has  
status_file=nagios.dat (used to be status.log). Could you be using a  
Nagios 1 config file for a Nagios 2 install?

RE: [Nagios-users] Non-US date formats in CGIs

2005-11-23 Thread Deborah Martin
Ian, 


On my version of nagios (2.0b4) in nagios.cfg there is the following set of
options you
can tweak for the date option. 

# DATE FORMAT OPTION
# This option determines how short dates are displayed. Valid options
# include:
#   us  (MM-DD- HH:MM:SS)
#   euro(DD-MM- HH:MM:SS)
#   iso8601 (-MM-DD HH:MM:SS)
#   strict-iso8601  (-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS)
#

date_format=euro

This might help although i've never used earlier versions of nagios

regards,
deborah

Hi,

Is there any way to coax the CGIs, specifically when you set downtimes,
so that they use the British date format (DD/MM/)?
