[Nagios-users] check_snmp syntax question
Hello -- I am testing out check_snmp on our printers, and I have been successful using the following syntax: ./check_snmp -H ip adddress -C public -o sysDescr.0 which has provided the following output: SNMP OK - HP ETHERNET MULTI-ENVIRONMENT,ROM R.22.01,JETDIRECT,JD95,EEPROM R.25.57,CIDATE 05/02/2006 | What I am trying to do now is get the status of the printer with the goal of generating output that would indicate if toner is low, or if other components are in need of service.

Hello -- I did try the check_hpjd plugin. While it did provide some information concerning an issue with a test printer, it did not go in-depth as to what was the actual error condition.

[Nagios-users] disabling e-mail notifications for nagiosadmin account
Hi there -- We are running Nagios 3.3.1, and have a two contacts set up for the e-mail notifications. One of the contacts is the nagiosadmin user. This is the user account that was first setup during the initial installation of the application. When the account was set up it was configured with the e-mail address of one of our network administrators. A second account was set up that was based on the administrator's login account along with his e-mail address. When notifications are sent out, he gets two notifications for each event due to both contacts having the same e-mail address. We want to prevent the e-mail notifications being sent to the nagiosadmin account with the administrator getting only one notification per event as the intended result. One thought was to set up a dummy account on the Nagios server as a solution, and another idea was to set up a flag in the contacts.cfg file, but we are not sure what the would be the correct syntax for the latter. What would be the best solution here? Thanks. The information in this e-mail is intended only for the person to whom it is addressed.

exclamation point due to another command that also has
arguments passed to it. For example:

NConf utility database of the Nagios server. Among the files that were imported
was the
commands.cfg file. During the importation process, the commands.cfg file data
was imported into a field called checkcommands. When the NConf utility was
subsequently
used to generate new files, a checkcommands.cfg file was among the them.
This file, along with the original commands.cfg file, is located in the
/usr/local/nagios/etc/objects directory. However, the nagios.cfg file does not
reference it. One idea that
I had was to remove the reference within nagios.cfg to commands.cfg, and replace
it with a reference to checkcommands.cfg, and see what are the results.
What do you think?

Hi,
Please show the command definition of database_connection-time.
Furthermore in the service definition you use the following line:
check_command database_connection-time!
Didn't you want to pass arguments to the command? If they're already hardcoded
in the command definition you can leave the exclamation mark off.

Hi there --
I found the answer to the problem. Working in conjunction with you and another
colleague, I noticed the checkcommands.cfg and commands.cfg files were both
present
in the objects directory. Additionally the two files were found to have the same
command syntax with the exception of the former having the command reference in
it.
I then checked the nagios.cfg file, and there was a line referring to
commands.cfg but not the checkcommands.cfg file. I changed the reference to
point to the latter file,
and that solved the problem.
Thanks for the help in any event.

Did you replace the $ARGX$ options by database etc or did you really write
them like this?
The command definition should look like this:
define command {

command_line /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_mssql_health
--server=$HOSTADDRESS$ --username=$ARG1$ --password=$ARG2$ --port=$ARG3$

And the service should then pass the arguments to the command:
define service {

check_command database_connection-time!username!mypasswd!1433

With this you're passing three arguments to the command (username, password and
port). The value for --server is automatically using the IP-Address (or DNS
name) of your defined host ($HOSTADDRESS$).

[Nagios-users] e-mail notifications not being sent
Hi there -- I completed the installation of Nagios 3.3.1, and I am going through the testing process. The server is able to successfully monitor our various clients, but e-mail notifications for critical conditions are not being sent to the intended recipient. The e-mail server that is on the Nagios server is the Postfix message transfer agent. The troubleshooting steps that I have taken so far are the following: 1. I have been able to send a test e-mail from the Nagios server to the intended recipient using two different mail commands. The test e-mail was done from the command line using the mail and mailx commands using the command syntax: mail e-mail address /etc/fstab mailx -s test e-mail address /etc/fstab 2. I checked the contacts.cfg file, and confirmed the intended recipient is listed with the correct address. 3. I checked the nagios.log, and there were entries that were similar to the following: [1321385615] Warning: Attempting to execute the command /usr/bin/printf %b * Nagios 2.6 *\n\nNotification Type: PROBLEM\nHost: ... Date/Time: Tue Nov 15 14:33:35 EST 2011\n | /bin/mail -...e-mail address resulted in a return code of 127. Make sure the script or binary you are trying to execute actually exists... I did a search for the mail binary, and there was none at that location. To correct the problem, I created a symbolic that pointed to the actual location of the mail binary which was located at the /usr/bin/ folder. 4. As far as I can tell, all hosts have e-mail notifications enabled on them. What other steps do I need to take in order to get e-mail notifications to work here? Thanks.

Re: [Nagios-users] e-mail notifications not being sent

Once that was done, notifications were sent to the recipient. As a follow-up, the address of the Nagios server is shown to be nagios@localdomain. I would like to change that to reflect the name of the server. What file(s) do I need to modify in order to make that happen? Thanks.

That's always one of the first things I change in a new Nagios installation. What OS are you using? Try to install the required programs (mail/mailx...) if they can't be found in your system.

[Nagios-users] check_nis plugin not getting responses
Hi there -- We are running a Nagios 3.3.1 server, which is being deployed to replace an older 3.1.2 server. Part of the process involved importing the plugins that were in use on the old server to the new one via the Nconf utility. One such item is the check_nis plugin. This plugin has been proven to work without issue on the older Nagios server, so it was thought it should be able to work like the others on the new server. The plugin does appear to run without errors on the new server, but when it queries the NIS server, it gets the following error message: NIS CRITICAL - domain domainname not answering I have checked the syslog.log log file of the target NIS server for any reference for errors pertaining to the plugin, but there were none. I did a similar check on the Nagios server, but there were no entries as such in the nagios.log, messages, or syslog files. I also did a restart of the nrpe daemon on the client to see if that would make a difference, but it did not appear to do so, neither did running the plugin from the command line yield the desired results. Does anyone have any idea as to why the script is no longer working? Thanks. The information in this e-mail is intended only for the person to whom it is addressed.

Re: [Nagios-users] Monitoring a Microsoft SQL Server
Hi there -- I finally got both the check_mssql and check_mssql_health scripts to work with the server in question. Listed below are the notes that I took during the testing process. I hope they are of use, and if there are any questions, please feel free to contact me at your convenience. Thanks again to everyone for the help. NOTE: The SQL Server in this scenario uses named instances, which result in dynamic TCP/IP ports being used rather than static ones. The ports can be identified by running the SQL Server Configuration Manager utility. Once the utility is open, go to the SQL Server Network Configuration section. Select the database in question from the list of Protocols for... entries. Double-click on the TCP/IP option listed in the right pane. Select the IP Addresses tab of the window that appears on-screen. Scroll down to the IPAll section, and make note of the value that is listed next to the TCP Dynamic Ports field. That value is what will be used in the command syntax when running the script. The user account, sa, along with its password will be needed to successfully access the database. The command syntax, with the resulting output is shown below. check_mssql -H ip address --username sa --password password --port dynamic TCP port OK: Connect time=0.022503 seconds. When using the check_mssql_health plugin, the first thing that needs to be done is to add an entry of the SQL server to the /etc/freetds/freetds.conf file. This file is used by the plugin to connect to the server. An excerpt of the file is shown below: # SQL Server Name [name of sql server]- name of the server used in the command syntax host = ip address or fqdn port = dynamic tcp port - TCP Dynamic port used by the server instance tds version = 7.0 An example of the command syntax that is used to connect to the server is the following: /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_mssql_health --server=name of sql server --username=sa --password=password --port=dynamic tcp port --mode=connection-time The output of the above command is shown below: OK - 0.06 seconds to connect as sa | connection_time=0.06;1;5 From: Claudio Kuenzler [mailto:c...@claudiokuenzler.com] Sent: Thursday, November 17, 2011 3:33 PM To: Kaplan, Andrew H.

Hi there --
Thanks for your reply. I tried your suggestion on the two plugins, and here are
the results.
When the command syntax for check_mssql was the following:
./check_mssql -H ip address -U domain\\username -P password
or
./check_mssql -H ip address -U 'domain\\username' -P password
The error message displayed on-screen was:
UNKNOWN: Invalid characters in the username.
Using a similar command syntax with check_mssql_health:
./check_mssql_health --hostname=ip address --username=domain\\username
--password=password --mode=connection-time
Resulted in the following:
CRITICAL - cannot connect to 172.27.45.6. DBI connect(';host=ip
address;port=1433','domain\username',...) failed: (no error string) at
./check_mssql_health line 2175
One thought came to mind: It is possible the port that is the target of either
script, 1433, may not be the correct one. Is there a way to determine what port
the SQL server has open?

Re: [Nagios-users] Monitoring a Microsoft SQL Server
Hi there --
I made some progress on my end. To start off, I confirmed the firewall is
disabled on the SQL server. I then investigated the possibility that a named
instance was being used
on the server. It turns out that is the case. I then went to the SQL Server
Configuration Manager utility/Network Configuration, and made note of the TCP
Dynamic Ports value.
Using that information, I entered the following command syntax:
check_mssql -H ip address --username sa --password password --port dynamic
port
The result was the following:
OK: Connect time=0.006639 seconds.
I then tried to run the check_mssql_health plugin using the syntaxes shown
below:
./check_mssql_health --hostname=ip address --username=sa --password=password
--port=dynamic port --mode=connection-time
./check_mssql_health --hostname ip address --username sa --password password
--port dynamic port --mode connection-time
The error message that I encountered in both cases was the following:
CRITICAL - cannot connect to ip address. DBI connect(';host=ip
address;port=62502','sa',...) failed: (no error string) at
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_mssql_health line 2175
If I can get the latter plugin to work, that will enable more extensive checking
of the server. What could be the problem here?
Thanks.

following error message appearing on-screen:
CRITICAL - cannot connect to 172.27.45.252. DBI
connect(';host=172.27.45.252;port=1433','ahk',...)
failed: (no error string) at ./check_mssql_health line 2175
Has anyone had success working with either of these plugins, and if so, what
would be the correct syntax to use here?
Also, the SQL servers all have the OpMon agent installed on them as a means to
monitor disk space usage, and other
services. Does OpMon have the means, or is there a plugin that can be installed
on the Windows servers that would enable
the monitoring of the SQL servers?
Thanks.

[Nagios-users] check_mssql_health connection problem
Hi there --
I have completed the installation of the check_mssql_health plugin onto a Nagios
3.2.3 64-bit server running on the CentOS 6.0 distribution.
When I try to connect to a remote server running MSSQL Server 2008 R2, the
following command syntaxes are used:
./check_mssql_health --server=fully qualfified domain name
--username=username --password=password --mode=connection-time
./check_mssql_health --hostname=fully qualfified domain name
--username=username --password=password --mode=connection-time
The error message that I am receiving is the following:
CRITICAL - cannot connect to fully qualified domain name. DBI
connect(';server=fully qualified domain name',username',...) failed:
OpenClient message: LAYER = (0) ORIGIN = (0) SEVERITY = (78) NUMBER = (41)
Server fully qualified domain name, database
Message String: Server is unavailable or does not exist.
at ./check_mssql_health line 2175
I have confirmed the hostname of the SQL server, as well as username and
password to access the database. The syntax for the username
was either username or domainname\username during the testing. The port of
the server is the default port which, if I am not mistaken,
is port 1433.
I have tried several sql modes with the same error message appearing each time.
Can someone lend a hand here?
Thanks.

[Nagios-users] Problem accessing the status map page
Hi there -- This e-mail is sort of a sequel to a previous e-mail that I posted about a similar issue. The Nagios server' is the 3.2.0 release on an Ubuntu LTS 10.04 32-bit system.

Re: [Nagios-users] added host not appearing in web interface
Hi Daniel --
Thanks for your reply. I took your advice concerning the configuration file, and
I have to confess my having done a rookie mistake.
There were older versions of the configuration files in the
/usr/local/nagios/etc directory, and I made the modifications to those files.
The problem
is, the current files used by Nagios are located in the
/usr/local/nagios/etc/objects folder. Once I made the changes in that location,
the host
appeared without issue.
Thanks again for the help.

Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] added host not appearing in web interface
Hi Andrew,
wheater the NRPE daemon is running or not has nothing to do with your
host not appearing in the WebUI. In fact, it would be a little silly
if a host is only shown if its reachable ;) First check that Nagios
actually reads your config file (nagios.cfg: cfg_file/cfg_dir
parameters). Be sure you have defined that host in your nagios config
with at least one service (define host { }; define service {
}). Also make sure your host/service definition has no register 0
parameter and that your user is allowed to see the host (by a
contact(group) or via authorized_for_all_hosts parameter in
cgi.cfg).

Hi there --
We are running Nagios 3.1.2 with the NRPE 2.12 client on our systems. We
recently installed the VirtualBox application
on one of our monitored systems, and have Ubuntu 10.04 LTS 64-bit as the
guest operating system. We want to monitor
the disk usage, processes, mysql server, and rsyslogd daemon on the virtual
machine, so the NRPE client was installed
and configured to start on system boot. After that was done, the appropriate
changes were made to the various config files
on the Nagios server. The virtual machine and Nagios server were rebooted,
in that order, after the changes were made.
When going through the web interface on the Nagios server, the virtual host
does not appear listed in any of the pages.
I confirmed the nrpe daemon was operational on the client, and also verified
that port 5666 was open, and the firewall on the
client was deactivated. The nrpe daemon is run via the /etc/rc.local file
using the following command syntax:
/usr/local/nrpe/bin/nrpe -n -c /usr/local/nrpe/etc/nrpe.cfg -d
I checked the Nagios server, and confirmed the virtual host was listed in
the /etc/hosts as well as the nagios configuration
files. The nslookup command, run on server and client, confirmed the
presence of the virtual host in the DNS database.
What would cause the client not to appear in the Nagios web interface, and
how can I correct it?
Thanks.

[Nagios-users] Problem with check_mailq and check_smtp plugins
Hi there -- I recently rebuilt an e-mail server from scratch, and part of the process was restoring from disk backup the nrpe directory that was one the original server. The original server ran on the Fedora Core 7 32-bit distribution, while the new one is running on the CentOS 5.6 64-bit operating system. The version of nrpe that was restored to the new server is 2.6, while that of the plugins is the 1.4.5 release. The Nagios server is version 3.1.2 running on a CentOS 5.3 32-bit distribution. Two of the plugins that I use to monitor the e-mail portion of the server, check_mailq and check_smtp, do not appear to be working. The error messages that appear on the Nagios server web interface are shown below: Check Sendmail Queue http://romonitor/nagios/cgi-bin/extinfo.cgi?type=2host=hadronservice=Check+Se ndmail+Queue (check_mailq) CRITICAL04-15-2011 15:41:36 0d 3h 7m 54s4/4 CRITICAL: Error code 78 returned from /usr/bin/mailq Check Sendmail Server http://romonitor/nagios/cgi-bin/extinfo.cgi?type=2host=hadronservice=Check+Se ndmail+Server (check_smtp) CRITICAL04-15-2011 15:41:36 0d 3h 7m 54s4/4 Connection refused I tried running both locally on the e-mail server, and while check_mailq appears to work based on the output shown below: /usr/local/nrpe/libexec/check_mailq -w 30 -c 40 -M sendmail OK: mailq is empty|unsent=0;30;40;0 the check_smtp plugin has the following output: Connection refused SMTP CRITICAL - 0.059 sec. response time|time=0.058524s;;;0.00 Other plugins that I run on the server, i.e: check_disk, check_zombie_procs, check_imap, are all running without issue.

[Nagios-users] Correct syntax to check paging file usage on Windows 2008 R2 64-bit server
Hi there --
I am running Nagios 3.1.2 with OpMon, formally NSClient, agent 2.0 installed on
a Windows 2008 R2 64-bit system. I have several
counters that are being monitored on the client including CPU Load, Disk Usage,
Memory Usage, Server Uptime, and Paging File Usage.
All counters except Paging File Usage appear to be running without issue.
The error message that I am seeing with Paging File Usage is the following:
NSClient - ERROR INVALID COUNTER - PagingFile(_Total)% Usage - ERROR CODE:
0xCBB8 -
I have a Windows 2003 R2 64-bit server that is being monitored with the same
counters, and the Paging File Usage counter does not
return an error. The syntax for the command in question, taken from the
commands.cfg file, is shown below:
# 'check_nt_pagingfile' command
define command{
command_namecheck_nt_pagingfile
command_line$USER1$/check_nt -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -p 5667 -v COUNTER -l
\\PagingFile(_Total)\\% Usage,Paging Fileusage is %.2f%% -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$
}
Does anyone know what change(s) are needed to the above command, assuming it can
still be used, in order for it to accurately
keep track of the paging file in the Windows 2008 server?
Thanks.

Re: [Nagios-users] CHECK_NRPE: No output returned with check_iptables.sh script
Hi there -- When you run it manually - how do you do it ? check_nrpe -H host -c check_iptables from the nagios server ? or local on the client ? I have run the script on the Nagios server, and on the client system. When I ran the script on the server, the syntax I used was the following: /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H hadron -c check_iptables The output of that command was: CHECK_NRPE: No output returned from daemon. I ran the script on the client using the following syntax: /usr/local/nrpe/libexec/check_iptables.sh The output of that command was: OK INPUT 20 rulesbrOK BLACKIN 497 rulesbrOK BLACKOUT 497 rulesbr When I ran the command on the client, I did so as the root user. The nagios user account exists on the client, but as a means of security it is set up with the /sbin/nologin shell. I confirmed with other administrators, as well as in practice, this should not intefere with operations. If you have not put in return codes how do you expect nagios to know what was the exit status of the script ? how will it know if it finished running or failed - those are not covered from NRPE but determined in the plugin. I looked at the plugin, and I am not sure what the syntax is for entering the return codes. -Original Message- From: Assaf Flatto [mailto:nag...@flatto.net] Sent: Monday, January 17, 2011 4:24 PM To: Nagios Users List Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] CHECK_NRPE: No output returned with check_iptables.sh script Kaplan, Andrew H. wrote: Hi there -- Thanks for your reply.

[Nagios-users] CHECK_NRPE: No output returned with check_iptables.sh script
Hi there --
I am running the check_iptables.sh script on one of our clients, and while the
script presents output whenever it is
manually run on the server with the firewall, this output is not being
transmitted to the Nagios server. The error message
that I am encountering is the following:
CHECK_NRPE: No output returned from daemon.
The check_iptables.sh script is located in the /usr/local/nagios/libxec
directory, and has been added as a definition to
the /usr/local/nagios/etc/commands.cfg file with the syntax shown below:
# 'check_iptables.sh' command definition

}
The definition for check on the Nagios server has been added to the
/usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/services.cfg file
with the following:
# Service definition
define service{

service template to use

normal_check_interval 5
retry_check_interval1

notification_interval 960
notification_period workhours
check_command check_nrpe!check_iptables
}
The check_iptables.sh script has been added to the /usr/local/nrpe/libexec
directory on the client, and the definition
of the check shown below is included in the client's nrpe.cfg file:
command[check_iptables]=/usr/local/nrpe/libexec/check_iptables.sh
The client system is situated outside the company filewall in a DMZ, and
connections are made through the firewall
via an SSH connection. There are several other services that are monitored by
the Nagios server, and the output from
their respective chceks are getting through to the Nagios server.
The NRPE client is version 2.6, while the Nagios server is running the 3.1.2
release. I checked the nagios.log and
messages log files, but I did not see any errors relating to the script. What
other step(s) do I need to take in order
for the output that is generated on the client be transmitted to the server?

Re: [Nagios-users] Determining what is causing a highloadreportedby check_load plugin
Hi there -- I ran the command syntax you suggested, and outputted it to a file. When I checked the file, I noticed there was a large amount of updatedb and slocate instances that were running going back to August of this year. When I tried to kill those processes, I ran into the same problem that I encountered with the kjournald instances. I did some further investigating, and it turns out a high number of the updatedb and slocate processes are symptomatic of a corrupted filesystem. Accordingly, I rebooted the server and had it run fsck on all filesystems. The server is now up, and I will monitor it for the next week to see if the problem returns.

However, when the installer gets to the Livestatus Socket, it looks for it in the /usr/local/nagios/rw/live directory, but says it is missing. The installer lists the valid socket formats, and asks me to enter the MKLivestatus socket.

The configuration that I described is not unique to this client. This same setup is working for other clients that are monitored by the server. Does anyone have any idea as to why this is occurring, and what I can do to correct it? Thanks. The information in this e-mail is intended only for the person to whom it is addressed.

[Nagios-users] Improving performace of the check_folder_size script
Hi there --
I am running Nagios 3.1.2 with the nrpe 2.12 client. One of the scripts that I
am using is the
check_folder_size script. The Nagios server is on one subnet, while the client
is on another.
The connection between the two is via a 10GB WAN connection. The script is
configured on
the client to send warnings when the folder in question reaches 500 gigabytes.
The entire
disk that the folder is on is four terabytes.
The script appears to be doing its job pretty well, but I notice that
occasionally I will get
timeout issues with the script. I suspect the configuration of the script on the
Nagios server is
the cause, and I wanted to get feedback as to the best settings to have for the
script. The current
configuration is shown below:
# Service definition
define service{
use generic-service ; Name
of service template to use
host_name hostname
service_description Folder Size Active 1
is_volatile 0
check_period24x7
max_check_attempts 1
normal_check_interval1440
retry_check_interval720
contact_groups linux-admins
notification_interval 1440
notification_period 24x7
notification_optionsw,u,c,r
check_command check_nrpe!check_folder_size1
}
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what settings would be better here?
Thanks.

[Nagios-users] Alternate Configuration for PNP4Nagios in Nagios
Hi there -- Through the much appreciated help of members of this list, I was able to get PNP4Nagios up and running. I wanted to return the favor so I am sending this e-mail out to the membership with the intent of sharing knowledge. If there are problems with what I implemented, please let me know and I will endeavor to rectify them. I experimented with implementing the application within Nagios, and I came up with an alternate method of accessing it. This method is not meant to replace what the documentation offers, rather it is simply another way of viewing the data. I don't know if this has been done by anyone else. If it has, my apologies for repeating something that has already been done. The idea that I came up with was to add a link on the side panel that points to the PNP4Nagios page. The example shown here will place the link under the Event Log link of the Reports section. The panel is under the control of the side.php file. The steps that I took to complete the process are shown below: 1. Make a backup copy of the side.php in case there was a problem. 2. Open the side.php file using a text editor. 3. Do a search within the file for the syntax: Event Log 4. Add the following line immediately after that which references Event Log: lia href=/nagios/pnp/index.php target=?php echo $link_target;?PNP4Nagios/a/li 5. Save the changes that were made. Once the above steps are completed, the administrator can refresh any of the screens, and the side bar will look like the attachment to this e-mail. side.php.jpg I have tested this configuration for about two weeks, and so far there have not been any problems.

[Nagios-users] External Command File Error
Hi there - I completed the installation of the Nagios 3.1.2 application onto our CentOS 5.3 server. Everything appears to be working fine with one noticeable exception: If I go to the host information page of any host, and select Schedule a check of all services on the host, and subsequently click on commit, I get the following error: Error: Could not open command file '/usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd' for update! The permissions on the external command file and/or directory may be incorrect. Read the FAQs on how to setup proper permissions. An error occurred while attempting to commit your command for processing. I went through and verified the following: 1. The nagios user account has the bash shell. 2. The permissions on the nagios directory, and its subdirectories are as follows: user:group ownership= nagios:nagios permissions = rwxrwxrwx What did I miss here, and what can I do to correct it?

Re: [Nagios-users] External Command File Error
Hi there -- Thanks for your reply. The answers to your questions are the following: Does /usr/local/nagios/var/rw exist? Yes, it does. Does /usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd exist after starting nagios? Yes, it does. The external commands option is set to 1 in the nagios.cfg file. Is the ownership of /usr/local/nagios/var/rw nagios:nagios? Yes, the ownership is set to nagios:nagios. Is the ownership of /usr/local/nagios/var/rw nagios:nagios? If so, review the Fedora Quickstart Guide, specifically Step 1, Create Account Information; you've missed setting the ownership of the files and apache group membership correctly. Apache will need to be restarted after making those changes. I went ahead and ran the usermod command for Apache that was mentioned in step one of the Fedora Quickstart guide. Once that was done, I restarted Apache, and that appears to have solved the problem. Thanks for the help. -Original Message- From: Marc Powell [mailto:m...@ena.com] Sent: Wed 7/8/2009 6:03 PM To: Nagios Users Mail-list Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] External Command File Error On Jul 8, 2009, at 3:56 PM, Kaplan, Andrew H. wrote: Hi there - I completed the installation of the Nagios 3.1.2 application onto our CentOS 5.3 server.

Re: [Nagios-users] Problem getting past main page
Hi there -- Thank-you for your reply. I did indeed check out several books prior to posting my messages, and while all of them are thorough with doing a scratch installation, there were none that I read which delved deeply into doing an upgrade. The upgrade scenario is what I am involved with at this time. The purpose of this exercise is to be able to preserve the configuration, and have it available in the newer version of the Nagios application. I am hoping to avoid having to rebuild all checks from the beginning. The amount of checks that I have in place would require a great deal of time that I am hoping I will not have to commit. My previous upgrading experince, from Nagios 1.x to Nagios 2.x was not very difficult. I am hoping to accomplish that here.

Re: [Nagios-users] Problem getting past main page
Hi there -- I can answer your questions in the order they were asked: 1. I made sure to restart apache after the changes were made via the sudo /etc/init.d/httpd restart command syntax. 2. The output of the apachectl configtest is the following: [Thu Jun 25 10:22:48 2009] [warn] The ScriptAlias directive in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf at line 566 will probably never match because it overlaps an earlier Alias. [Thu Jun 25 10:22:48 2009] [warn] The Alias directive in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf at line 583 will probably never match because it overlaps an earlier Alias. Syntax OK 3. The files that are located in the /usr/local/nagios/sbin directory are the following: -rwxrwxr-x 1 nagios nagios 229964 Jun 24 15:48 avail.cgi -rwxrwxr-x 1 nagios nagios 225272 Jun 24 15:48 cmd.cgi -rwxrwxr-x 1 nagios nagios 193036 Jun 24 15:48 config.cgi -rwxrwxr-x 1 nagios nagios 246284 Jun 24 15:48 extinfo.cgi -rwxrwxr-x 1 nagios nagios 197292 Jun 24 15:48 histogram.cgi -rwxrwxr-x 1 nagios nagios 176684 Jun 24 15:48 history.cgi -rwxrwxr-x 1 nagios nagios 172812 Jun 24 15:48 notifications.cgi -rwxrwxr-x 1 nagios nagios 168460 Jun 24 15:48 outages.cgi -rwxrwxr-x 1 nagios nagios 172844 Jun 24 15:48 showlog.cgi -rwxrwxr-x 1 nagios nagios 234156 Jun 24 15:48 status.cgi -rwxrwxr-x 1 nagios nagios 190220 Jun 24 15:48 statusmap.cgi -rwxrwxr-x 1 nagios nagios 188940 Jun 24 15:48 statuswml.cgi -rwxrwxr-x 1 nagios nagios 172588 Jun 24 15:48 statuswrl.cgi -rwxrwxr-x 1 nagios nagios 193100 Jun 24 15:48 summary.cgi -rwxrwxr-x 1 nagios nagios 184940 Jun 24 15:48 tac.cgi -rwxrwxr-x 1 nagios nagios 201388 Jun 24 15:48 trends.cgi 4.

The error messages appeared on-screen, while the following entries appeared in the log file: [Thu Jun 25 10:29:38 2009] [error] [nagios server] File does not exist: /usr/local/nagios/share/cgi-bin, referer: http://nagios server/nagios/side.php http://132.183.12.194/nagios/side.php [Thu Jun 25 10:29:44 2009] [error] [nagios server] File does not exist: /usr/local/nagios/share/cgi-bin, referer: http://nagios server/nagios/side.php http://132.183.12.194/nagios/side.php [Thu Jun 25 10:29:48 2009] [error] [nagios server] File does not exist: /usr/local/nagios/share/cgi-bin, referer: http://nagios server/nagios/side.php http://132.183.12.194/nagios/side.php 6.

The error occurs whenever I click on any of the links starting from the Current Status group and going down the list. 7. The host in question is a CentOS 5.3 system running on the i386 architecture. 8.

The nagios user and group were created, with the former being given a home directory and utilizing the nologin shell. The Nagios 3.1.2 application was compiled from source on the new server, with the following arguments: configured by ./configure, generated by GNU Autoconf 2.61, with options \'--prefix=/usr/local/nagios' '--with-nagios-user=nagios' '--with-nagios-grp=nagios'\ What do you think?

Some questions: You're sure you restarted apache after editing httpd.conf? What is the output of 'apachectl configtest'? What files are in /usr/local/nagios/sbin -- are they files like 'status.cgi', 'avail.cgi', 'cmd.cgi' etc.? Are they executable by the user that apache is running as? Is there anything useful in the apache error logs? What do you see when you go to http://nagioshost/nagios with your web browser? Is that when you get the error below? Is the nagios host a Linux or Unix host (sorry, can't remember if you've specified this before)? If so, which flavour/version? Did you compile nagios on this host, install it via a package manager, or copy it from another host? Cheers, Guy.

Re: [Nagios-users] Problem getting past main page
I have made some progress. I removed the nagios.conf file from the /etc/httpd/conf.d directory. Once that was done, I was able to get past the main screen. My next step was to configure the various cfg files fromt Nagios 2.6 to work with the Nagios 3.1.2 application. I added several lines to the nagios.cfg file that pointed to the location of the files that I brought over. I ran the preflight check again, and now I have the following appearing on-screen: Checking services...

I checked the /usr/local/nagios/etc/ and /usr/local/nagios/etc/objects directories, and each has a localhost.cfg file in it. The nagios.cfg file points to the latter as the one that it looks to for configuration settings. I checked through it, and there is no mention of admins anywhere. I also checked the services.cfg file in the same directory as localhost, with the results being the same. Where is this cause of complaint originating from, and how can I correct it? Thanks.

[Nagios-users] Problem getting past main page
This issue is an offshoot of the Problem in preflight check with commands.cfg. I went ahead and copied the nagios directory from our original server to the new one. Once that was done, I did the upgrade to version 3.1.2 of nagios. The main page of the application appears without a problem. However, whenever I try to go to any one of the links from the main page, an error message similar to the one below appears on-screen: Not Found The requested URL /nagios/cgi-bin/status.cgi was not found on this server. I noticed that after I inserted the snippets from the nagios.conf file into the httpd.conf file, and subsequently restarted the Apache server, the following errors appeared on-screen: Starting httpd: The ScriptAlias directive in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf at line 566 will probably never match because it overlaps an earlier ScriptAlias. [warn] The Alias directive in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf at line 583 will probably never match because it overlaps an earlier Alias. I have enclosed a copy of the httpd.conf file in its present version.

[Nagios-users] REPOST: Problem in Preflight Check with commands.cfg

Re: [Nagios-users] Recommended Plugin for Monitoring iptables
Hi Marc -- Thanks for your reply. I downloaded the script, and I am currently testing it. I had to make one modification within the script: The -S argument is not known by the version, 1.3.8, of iptables on the server in question, so I replaced it with the -L argument. One question to all members who have used the script: Is the script designed to run in the background, or is it simply invoked by Nagios and then closed when it is done running? The reason I ask is I am manually running it, and it does not immediately close.

[Nagios-users] Configuring pnp4nagios questions
Hi there -
We are running Nagios 2.6, and I am going through the motions of configuring
pnp4nagios on it.
I have come to the step in the procedure where I set up the nagios web frontend.
The templates
that need to be configured are shown below:
define host {
name host-pnp
register 0
action_url /nagios/pnp/index.php?host=$HOSTNAME$
}
define service {
name srv-pnp
register 0
action_url /nagios/pnp/index.php?host=$HOSTNAME$srv=$SERVICEDESC$
}
I had two questions concerning the templates:
1. What file(s) do I need to modify to properly configure pnp4nagios to
operate correctly with
the Nagios application?
2. Do the above definitions need to be individually applied to all hosts,
or will they automatically
cover all hosts that are currently, and in the future will be, monitored
by the Nagios server?
Thanks.

[Nagios-users] Problems with two plugins timing out
Hi there - I am monitoring a system that functions as a mail and ssh server. Along with the check_ssh and check_smtp plugins, I am also monitoring the mailq, check_mailq, the diskspace, check_disk, and also the processes, check_procs. The latter three plugins are working fine, but the first two, check_ssh and check_smtp, are getting socket timeout errors. The Nagios server and NRPE client are running the 2.6 version. I ran the two plugins from the command line on both the Nagios server, via check_nrpe, and on the client in question, using just the plugins. I included the -p option to specify the port. Both instances resulted in timeouts occurring. The client system is running iptables, and I had configured it to allow what I thought was the appropriate traffic to go and come from the system. Listed below is an excerpt that deals with this issue: ### Accept connections from ip address # Make sure to include these entries in the OUTPUT chain. $IPTABLES -A INPUT -p icmp -s ip address -j ACCEPT $IPTABLES -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 5666 -s ip address -j ACCEPT $IPTABLES -A INPUT -p udp --dport 5666 -s ip address -j ACCEPT $IPTABLES -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -s ip address -j ACCEPT $IPTABLES -A INPUT -p udp --dport 22 -s ip address -j ACCEPT $IPTABLES -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 25 -s ip address -j ACCEPT $IPTABLES -A INPUT -p udp --dport 25 -s ip address -j ACCEPT ... $IPTABLES -A OUTPUT -p icmp -d ip address -j ACCEPT $IPTABLES -A OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 5666 -d ip address -j ACCEPT $IPTABLES -A OUTPUT -p udp --dport 5666 -d ip address -j ACCEPT $IPTABLES -A OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -d ip address -j ACCEPT $IPTABLES -A OUTPUT -p udp --dport 22 -d ip address -j ACCEPT $IPTABLES -A OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 25 -d ip address -j ACCEPT $IPTABLES -A OUTPUT -p udp --dport 25 -d ip address -j ACCEPT Are there any additional ports that I need to provide exceptions for in order to get the two plugins to work?

Re: [Nagios-users] Problems with two plugins timing out
Since the command is failing locally on the client in question, this may not be iptable issue. Do you have these plugins in the correct location? The location of the plugins is the same as the others: /usr/local/npre/libexec Do they have required nagios user ownership. The ownership of the plugins, along with the others is as follows: -rwxr-xr-x 1 nagios nagios 62638 2007-11-28 11:40 check_ssh -rwxr-xr-x 1 nagios nagios 334907 2007-11-28 11:40 check_http Have you enabled debugging options in nrpe to check? I did have debugging turned on via the nrpe.cfg file on the client. However, even after I tried manually running the plugins in question, there was no record of the plugins recorded in the /var/log/messages file on the client, or in a similar file on the server. Please post the command which you are running locally and from Nagios server? The commands that I tried are listed below: -bash-3.2$ ./check_ssh -H ip address CRITICAL - Socket timeout after 10 seconds -bash-3.2$ ./check_ssh -H hostname CRITICAL - Socket timeout after 10 seconds -bash-3.2$ ./check_ssh -H hostname -p 22 CRITICAL - Socket timeout after 10 seconds -bash-3.2$ ./check_ssh -H ip address -p 22 CRITICAL - Socket timeout after 10 seconds -bash-3.2$ ./check_smtp -H hostname CRITICAL - Socket timeout after 10 seconds -bash-3.2$ ./check_smtp -H ip address CRITICAL - Socket timeout after 10 seconds -bash-3.2$ ./check_smtp -H ip address -p 25 CRITICAL - Socket timeout after 10 seconds -bash-3.2$ ./check_smtp -H hostname -p 25 CRITICAL - Socket timeout after 10 seconds The information transmitted in this electronic communication is intended only for the person or entity to whom it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.

[Nagios-users] Problem with check_nis script
Hi there -
I have installed the check_nis script on our Nagios 2.6 server, and have been
able to manually run it. My next step is getting it to run within Nagios.
The script has been copied to the libexec directory, and I have added a command
definition to the commands.cfg file. Here is the syntax of the entry:
# 'check_nis_space' command definition
define command{
command_name/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nis -H space
-d nisdomain
command_line /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nis -H
space -d nisdomain
}
I then went to the services.cfg file and added an entry there for the
aforementioned command. The syntax there is the following:
# Service definition
define service{
use generic-service ; Name of service
template to use
host_name space
service_description Check NIS Service
is_volatile 0
check_period 24x7
max_check_attempts 3
normal_check_interval 5
retry_check_interval1
contact_groups linux-admins
notification_interval 120
notification_period 24x7
notification_optionsw,u,c,r
check_commandcheck_nis_space
}
When I run the nagios -v check, I get an error message stating that the
check_nis_space check_command in services.cfg is not defined anywhere.
Is there another file(s) that I need to configure to get this to work? Thanks.

[Nagios-users] Running Nagios 1.x and 2.x on the same server
Hi there - I am currently monitoring a group of HP-UX 10.20 systems with out Nagios 1.4 server. A new 2.6 server is being implemented, but the 2.6 NRPE client will not compile on the 10.20 systems. I am not aware of any 2.6 binaries that will work on the 10.20 systems, so the decision was made to continue using a 1.x server to monitor the workstations in question until they get retired. One idea was to have both Nagios 1.x and 2.x running on the same server and have virtual machines set up for both. Aside from compiling and installing the two servers into separate directories, are there any other issues that I should consider before proceeding? Thanks.
