[Nagios-users] Weird phenomenon with hostgroup expansion
Hi folks,
I have Nagios 3.0.6 running on CentoOS 5.3 (current patches). I have
defined 72 hosts with 716 services. Everything works fine so far.
Now I have added a new hostgroup consisting of 2 new servers, and have
added this hostgroup_name to 16 service definitions. Running
/usr/bin/nagios -v /etc/nagios/nagios.cfg suddenly shows 15 hosts
having no service definitions!
After careful reediting of configs and systematic testing I found the
following:
I have some service definitions with two lines of hostgroup_name because
of the amount of hostgroups to add to that service. For example:
define service{
use generic-service
hostgroup_name
Mailserver,Mailstore,Nameserver,Headserver,Management,Webserver,PhysLinux,Testserver-Linux,Templates-Linux
hostgroup_name
Masse-CentOS,Masse-Ubuntu,Testserver-NetBSD,MySQLserver
service_description RES-Swap
check_commandcheck_ssh_swap!22!20!10
}
This works fine so far. But there is one, ONE CERTAIN service definition
that must NOT have two lines of hostgroup_name. If it looks like that:
# check memory
define service{
usegeneric-service
hostgroup_name
Mailserver,Mailstore,Nameserver,Headserver,Management,Webserver,PhysLinux,Testserver-Linux,Templates-Linux,Masse-CentOS,Masse-Ubuntu,MySQLserver
service_description RES-Memory
check_commandcheck_ssh_memory!22!100:!50:!M
}
everything is fine so far, but if I devide the hostgroup_name line into
two lines like in the first service definition above then suddenly
Nagios claims 15 hosts to have no service definitions.
I have tried a lot, have even copied the above service definition and
changed just the differing part, but to no avail.
And then there is one more problem:
Before adding the new hostgroup with the 2 new servers, I have 716
services. After adding the new hostgroup to 16 service definitions 697
services are remaining.
Is there any known problems with hostgroup_name expansion with bigger
amounts of hosts? I do not know where to look at any more.
Any hint or help is appreciated.

The -S option turns on TLS (also known as starttls), not SSL. They are *almost* the same, with one critical difference: with TLS, the initial conversation (the EHLO and one or two more commands and responses) occurs in plain text, and THEN the client and the server negotiate encryption. That way, you can run encrypted and unencrypted traffic at the same time over the same port (25 or 587). On port 465, the server turns on encryption first, and then expects the EHLO to already be encrypted.

[Nagios-users] checking for results of external commands
Hello all, I know I can use external commands to enable/disable service checks and host checks - I already use that in scripts. But is there an external command I can use to check for the result of the enable/disable command - in other words, can I check the current state (enabled/disabled) of the service checks and host check for a certain host? I did not find anything that sounded fitting to me in the documentation of external commands. The reason is that it takes some time for the external commands to be worked upon; at the moment I use sleep 120 steps in my scripts to wait for that which is quite ugly.

Re: [Nagios-users] checking for results of external commands
HTH, thanks for your fast reply. I was referring to nagios service checks, not to operating system or application services. My question is if there is a CHECK... equivalent to ENABLE_HOST_SVC_CHECKS, e.g. Dirk Am 10.02.2009 um 20:12 schrieb rjustinwilli...@gmail.com: Dirk This is largely going to depend upon the setup of the service. In RedHat, you can use service foobar status to return the current status of the service, foobar. Likewise, you can use service foobar stop/start/restart to stop/start/restart said service. In Gentoo, you use the init scripts directly, as /etc/init.d/foobar start/stop/restart/status Other flavors may differ further.. In any case though, you should get feedback in the form of Foobar is (not) running. You can write a script on the remote machine to parse that and, if it sees not, it can exit with whatever nagios value you choose (3 for unknown, 2 for critical, 1 for warning, 0 for OK), which will cause Nagios to alert as you see fit; likewise, it not seeing a not, you can have the script exit with a different value.

[Nagios-users] Nagios checks and DNS queries
Hi folks, I have two servers running Nagios, one is 2.3.1 on Debian, the other 3.0.5 on CentOS. With both I have a peculiar problem: Both of the servers have 3 different nameserves in /etc/resolv.conf, but when the first nameserver fails, then more than half of the service checks fail (plugin timed out). The failure does not occur just shortly, but takes as long as the first nameserver is not running. This first nameserver in /etc/resolv.conf is not the master nameserver (all of them are slaves), so it is not a problem of the slave stopping answering when the master fails or any misconfiguration between the nameservers. This should not be occuring, but it can be reproduced reliably. Now I hope that there is some configuration item I overlooked, but googling did not deliver any hint. Any help is appreciated.

[Nagios-users] Nagios 3.x on PowerPC
Hi folks, I am running several instances of Nagios 2.x on Linux machines. My main instance monitors 30 hosts and 400+ service from a xen vm on an old PIII dual - not noticable load on the machine involved. No I have setup Nagios 3.03 via Macports on a dual cpu PowerMac G5 with only 3 hosts and not even 100 services - and cpu usage is constantly between 150 and 200 %. Is Nagios 3.x compared to 2.x using much more resources, or must there be a problem with it running on PowerPC and MacOS X especially? Has anybody experienced this, too? The other problem is that Nagios on the G5 sometimes stops working: no checks are done any more; in other cases a sub process (e.g. one generating an email notification) stops in the middle of action and resides in the running process list for hours or days without errors showing anywhere. I am stuck and do not have a good idea what to look at. Any hint or help is appreciated.

[Nagios-users] check_procs argument-array via check_by_ssh
Hi folks, I have a problem with the plugin check_procs (current version): I would like to use the argument-array (-a) to check the startup parameters of daemons, but that does not seem to work when used via check_by_ssh. For example: Testing locally with PATH/check_procs -w 1:10 -c 1:15 -a '/usr/sbin/clamd -c /etc/clamd.conf' works fine. The same from remote with PATH/check_by_ssh -H FQDN -C $USER1/check_procs -w 1:10 -c 1:15 -a '/usr/sbin/clamd -c /etc/clamd.conf' fails with check_procs: Critical Process Count must be an integer! I guess somehow the single quotes around the argument-array are not transferred correctly by check_by_ssh. I tried a few workarounds, but: - using single quotes instead of double quotes for the -C expression: does not work (unknown option -c) - using -a for ever part of the argument-array: -a '/usr/sbin/clamd' -a '-c' -a '/etc/clamd.conf': does not work (could not open pipe ...

[Nagios-users] NagiosGrapher weird entries in logfile
Hi Folks, is this the right place to ask for help with NagiosGrapher? If not, please point me to an appropriate mailing list. I am trying to run NagiosGrapher on Centos 5. I have installed and configured it according to Wolfgang Barths new Nagios book, but I am running into a weird problem. I have configured Nagios to write the service perf data into a file which is renamed with a time stamp using the service_perfdata_file_processing_command directive. That works fine. The resulting files are named service-perfdata with the unix timestamp as extension. NagiosGrapher is configured with interface file and perffile_path /path/to/perffiles/. It apparently reads the files, but there is two weird entries in ngraph.log: ... REGEX: No blocks found for XXX # while x is the timestamp extension of the perfdata file ... PIPE: [SERVICEPERFDATA] ... # although no pipe is used for transferring performance data The perfdata entries in the PIPE lines are correct, they contain all needed data. I have also configured NagiosGrapher to include /etc/nagios/ngraph.d/ and placed a ping.ncfg there (copies from the examples). It refers to service ping which is used in the nagios config as service_name. NagiosGrapher does not generate any rrd dbs in /var/lib/nagios/rrd/ which is configured to be the rrdpath.

[Nagios-users] check_mem errors
Hello nagios fellows, I am running a nagios test environment on CentOS 4 and RHEL4/5, and came to recognize some errors in check_mem.pl: - if used with option -f (checks free memory), it does not report back free memory - the amount reported corresponds to cached memory. - if used with option -u (checks used memory), it reports wrong percentages, e.g. if 2.6 GB of 4 GB on a 32Bit System is used it reports 93 % used. Are these known errors? I did not find much relating to that. Is there a replacement for check_mem.pl? Regards, Dirk - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

Hi Folks, can I break long lines within a config file in several lines? I have tried the usual backslash, but nagios -v did not like it.

[Nagios-users] different contact_groups not used
Hi folks, we are running Nagios 2.3.1 and use different email contacts that are consolidated in different contact_groups which are used within the host definitions. But ALL email notifications are sent to the same contact(_group), not minding which contact_group is used in the host/service definition that email is concerned about. I have tried to find a fault in nagios.cfg and in the several other cfg files, but there seems to be none. Any help or hint is appreciated. Dirk - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

[Nagios-users] Timeouts
Hi folks, I have a problem concerning timeouts. First the basics: I run Nagios 2.3.1 on Debian Sarge stable. I have configured service_check_timeout=60, but in certain circumstances (e.g. slow dns) I get the erorr: Plugin timed out after 10 seconds or Socket timed out after 10 seconds. Is there another timeout value I have to configure to get rid of this 10 seconds threshold? I know that I should work on my dns first, but I want to understand what decisions Nagios makes there.

[Nagios-users] Understanding service checks
Hi folks, today both our dns servers went out of function. As a result every service check in nagios timed out after 10 sec. and was CRITICAL. EVERY one of several hundred! Since service check definitions depend on host definitions and host definitions contain ip addresses I would not have expected a dns outage to have any effect on nagios' service checks. Can anyone explain why there IS an effect? I would like to understand it more deeply.

Can anyone explain why there IS an effect? I would like to understand it more deeply. Rhis sounds like it depends only on your Nagios setup and your network. For example, if you _only_ use IP adresses and not DNS in your Nagios configuration, all your routers do _not_ need DNS, and all your services do _not_ depend on DNS (think of verifying reverse mapping for mail address verification, or SSL certificate checks, for example, or nrpe or (x)inetd or TCP wrappers... lots of opportunities to need DNS without being aware of it) having a DNS outage should not affect service state. In other words: Since you experienced service failures, something _must_ depend on either DNS or some outage not directly monitored affected DNS as well as all other checks you run. Or it's all been a great coincidence... You are right. I have written out of only half reduced panic. Of course it need not be nagios service checks depending on dns but the services themselves. Since most checks are done via ssh and ssh communication can depend on mutual dns verification ... Maybe I find the time to dig into it somewhat deeper. Thanks for getting me back on the track!

It works as a breeze, thanks developers. we also check several Oracle servers among other things. Couple of days ago i faced the situation when oracle listener was working but database instance was broken. The problem is that i don't have oracle client installed on nagios host, so i check only oracle host is alive and TCP port 1521 is open. Obviously this is not enough for Oracle checking. I don't have possibility to install oracle client on nagios host due to several reasons. You could also read out the oracle logfiles with a local nagios client.

Is there a way to monitor a directories size via snmp As far as I understand SNMP it is quite easy to tell: If there is an object for that in the MIB of the SNMP client on this windows machine, then it should be fairly easy to rewrite check_snmp_storage.pl (or write your own script) to query that object.

Re: [Nagios-users] Network outage not handled correctly
Hi Chris, Chris Wilson schrieb: Hi Dirk, this night we had a router down. As I understand ist, Nagios should not have notified about host down for the hosts set behind those routers (I have set up a fitting parent structure, and the map looks okay). But for every host behind the died router there was a host down message as well as a host up message. Did you get a host down for the router? Was it detected before the host down (hard state) of the hosts behind the router? The router was detected first as down (2 x soft, then hard state), and half a minute later the hosts behind it. A host down message was sent first, then a host unreachable message. Is there anything additional to configure to get network outages handled right? Did you disable unreachable host notifications for the hosts behind the router? That's it. Thank you. Dirk --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
