Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios Exploit
Fixed in the Nagios 3.4.4 release candidate, as well as in the Core 4 trunk. Announced last week: All, I have uploaded a release candidate tarball for Nagios Core 3.4.4 to SourceForge. If you are so inclined, please download a copy from https://sourceforge.net/projects/nagios/files/nagios-3.x/nagios-3.4.4/ and give it a test run. Any feedback would be appreciated. I plan to create the release mid-week next week. The change log is as follows: * Fixed bug #408: service checks get duplicated on reload (Eric Stanley) * Fixed bug #401: segmentation fault on Solaris when parsing unknown timeperiod directives. (Eric Stanley) * Added NULL pointer checks to CGI code. (Eric Stanley) * Fixed buffer overflow vulnerability in CGI code. Thanks to Neohapsis (http://archives.neohapsis.com/archives/fulldisclosure/2012-12/0108.html) for finding this.

Can you explain a little bit more on having to clean up the checkresult directory? You shouldn't ever have to do this manually, Nagios reaps the results from this directory every X number of seconds as defined in nagios.cfg. How large is your installation? What are the permissions on the leftover files in this directory? If the checkresults directory perpetually grows in the number of files, then that would probably explain the sluggishness, because directory scan alone would make Nagios have to work much harder...

Re: [Nagios-users] Inconsistency of Nagios
Typically when I've seen behavior like this, it's because there are multiple parent processes of Nagios running, so both instances are launching checks, and reaping each others results. Try killing off all Nagios processes, and then starting it fresh again to see if that resolves the issue. /etc/init.d/nagios stop killall -9 nagios /etc/init.d/nagios start On 1/2/2013 4:38 AM, Srikanth Gumma wrote: Hi, I need some help regarding nagios.

Re: [Nagios-users] service checks running too often
Although some of those start times do seem close together, it's important to know that the check_interval in Nagios is not necessarily a hard number. Nagios is continually adjusting and recalculating the check schedule, so if you need a check to run on a hard 5mn schedule, you might be better off using cron, and then pushing the result to Nagios passively. With that said, access the service details for this service. When new results come in does the scheduler set the Next Check 5mn out as expected?

Re: [Nagios-users] High Service Check Latency
What kind of information do you have about average CPU load or I\O wait time? Whether Nagios is using ndoutils or not there will be a hardware limit as to how many disk writes it can handle in a given period of time. Even though you're only running a few active checks, it could be a symptom that your machine is having to wait on itself to write to disk for other things as well. The doc below is written for Nagios XI, but of a lot of the items apply to Core as well. I would consider exploring some options with a RAM disk in order to reduce disk activity. http://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagiosxi/docs/Utilizing_A_RAM_Disk_In_NagiosXI.pdf On 5/22/2012 7:55 AM, Simone Felici wrote: Il 22/05/2012 13:55, C.

Re: [Nagios-users] Averages of aggregated services?
I don't know of any plugins or addons that do this out of the box, but you could just write a custom plugin that ran the list of memory checks against all of the servers then added them together. It could be as simple as: ./check_many address1 address2 address3 address 4 and the check just runs the nrpe check for memory, adds the results, and returns it to Nagios. Otherwise, there are quite a few cluster checking plugins on exchange.nagios.org, but I haven't used any of these myself. http://exchange.nagios.org/index.php?option=com_mtreetask=searchItemid=74searchword=cluster On 5/14/2012 6:18 PM, Michael Halligan wrote: Hi, I was wondering if there's a plugin or 3rd-party package which allows one to set rules over averages of aggregated services?

I removed the commas, and I'm now using only spaces. It still isn't showing up in Nagios, though. I'm slightly perplexed, since the perfdata used to show up in Nagios in the form that I already posted it to the list. I don't know what changed. Does anyone know any good ways of debugging this? Try using floats for your thresholds instead of integers. Those are two different data types being compared. For debugging I usually set up a local passive check with hard-coded status text and performance data, and then I just play with the format until it starts being processed for a graph.

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios 3.4.0 complilation error (and trivial fix)
Hey Phil, Thanks for the clarification on this. I was trying to figure out why we hadn't come across this issue on our local dev environments. Maybe some other users can chime in on this, but my understanding was that compiling with the embedded perl option tends to be problematic due to memory leaks and other unpredictable behaviors. (??) Let us know anything you find out, we appreciate the input!

Re: [Nagios-users] The router - two providers - only one can be up
You could monitor this using Nagios BPI. You can create a business process out of these two hosts and then monitor the business process so that you only get alerted if both hosts are down. http://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Addons/Components/Nagios-Business-Process-Intelligence-%28BPI%29/details It could be a little overkill if you only have to do this once, but if you have multiple scenarios like this it could come in handy.

Re: [Nagios-users] Looking for a good to great book for Nagios
Hi Robert, I got started with Nagios Core using the following book, which I felt was pretty straight forward, but this would be more of a getting started book: http://www.amazon.com/Learning-Nagios-3-0-Wojciech-Kocjan/dp/1847195180/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8qid=1330614890sr=8-1 Although the absolute best resource I know of for Nagios are the manuals that come with our training partner's Nagios Training. Obviously this is more expensive than just buying a book, but it's more interactive and would pretty much equip you to be able to do whatever you ever needed to do with Nagios.

Re: [Nagios-users] High check latency in a machine with low load
Just to double check, are you locking your tables or stopping mysql when you do your repair runs? You'll actually risk corrupting your DB tables which will tank your CPU if the tables are being written to while a repair run is occurring. As far as the checks go, how many checks per second is your machine running (on average)? Javier Vela Diago wrote: Thank you for the advise, but due some problems in the past, I already have the mysql database in another machine with 2 cpus and 2GB of ram. Also, because of the problems I suffered, I have a script that every nigth optimizes and repairs the ndoutils database. My goal now is to change the engine from MyISAM to INNODB and apply some tunnig to the database. The engine change is because when problems start, with MyISAM I have to truncate the database because optimize hangs out, but with InnoDB, in the tests I've made, works fine.

This Nagios runs together with NDO and PNP (in bulk mode) in a server with 4GB of Ram and 4 cpus. One day I realized that the check delay in the performance CGI was very high (300-400 seconds). It was very strange so I took the tunning guide form nagios (_http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/tuning.html_) and applied all the points I could. In particular I adjusted the max_concurrent_checks to zero (no limit): max_concurrent_checks=0 The reaper event: service_reaper_frequency=5 max_check_result_reaper_time=15 and checked that the host checks where not forced. In addition I configured 15 seconds of host check cache. cached_host_check_horizon=15 But the problem remains. And the load of the server is not very high. Load of 2,5, 2 GB of free memory and an average utilization of disc of 7%. I disabled NDO and PNP but it was useless. After the first round of checks, the delay returns, while the load of the server doesn't grow. I have searched in google but all the problems area because of the load in the server, but here this is not the main problem. So my question is ¿what can I do now?¿There is some variable that shows me where to look? I'm a bit lost right now and I don't know how to find the problem. ¿Or maybe the only way is to configure a master-slave nagios in order to maximize the server utilization? In addition, I have pretty big timeouts (60 seconds) because of the high latency on the network. All your help is appreciated.

A rare occasion indeed, so many thanks to Ethan, Mary and Nagios Enterprises for arranging such a high-quality event. I won't mention their talks, since I don't want to inflate their egos too much, but check out the one on visualizations by Mike Guthrie. Pretty cool stuff :) I agree, the conference was very cool. I'm still decompressing from all of the ideas that I got from other users. Thanks for the shout out, I'm flattered ; ) Much of the focus was on scaling up Nagios. mod_gearman and livestatus seem to be the most known and used projects for achieving that goal. Reading status files is just too slow when viewing the UI, and a single server just doesn't scale to enough checks (yet). DNX also seemed very well investigated and used in some places, although a documentation mishap seems to have lead many potential users away from it. For those wondering, DNX can indeed distribute checks to workers based on host- groups, just as mod_gearman can. It's just not well documented. LivestatusSlave also got a lot of interest, although it didn't seem to be as well used as either of the other three. Kudos to Sven Nierlein (mod_gearman author/maintainer) Mathias Kettner (mk_livestatus author/maintainer) and Lars Michelsen (LivestatusSlave author). Your stuff is being used in production for positively *huge* installs, so well done guys :) I sure hope you go to the conference next year so you can talk about future development and gather even more interest for your projects. Merlin wasn't much discussed, although the DNX maintainers (and I) recommend it as the only sane way to get redundancy and automagic loadbalancing. Probably because of the misconception that you're required to run a separate UI and a fork of Nagios when using it. At least that's what my slightly hurt ego wants to believe ;) I will admit my own ignorance in realizing what Merlin can do, along with several other projects I learned about last week. I think one of the biggest things I took away from the conference is just the enormous need to document and better publicize existing projects and also how to implement some of the powerful set ups that many users have had to figure out the hard way. Nagios is incredibly flexible and there's so much that can be done with it, after this week I'm realizing that the existing documentation just scratches the surface of what can be done with it. If there's a need from the community, it's more documentation, tutorials, and publicity. There's a wealth of great projects and Nagios tricks out there and I for one would love to see that users are getting all of the information that they need for the environments that they run. General tips for running large installations is to offload the various spool directories to ramdisk, along with status.dat and objects.cache (since they're read quite frequently). Work is under way to make that unnecessary by simply getting rid of disk I/O as much as possible. It was pretty much headnodding when these tips were iterated in one talk after another, so it seems the attending part of the Nagios community have reach consensus that that's the best way to do it. Mounting all disks with the noatime option is also a very good tip that'll get your disk write operations (the slow ones) down to a fragment of what they were before you latched that option on. Many have large headaches with getting various graphing solutions to scale properly. Some resorted to using Fusion I/O cards with exabyte performance (quite expensive...), since using ramdisk to store the tens or hundreds of gigabytes of rrd-files generated in large installs isn't really an option. It would be nice to hear Joerg Linge's (author of PNP4Nagios) take on other paths to increase performance next year. It seems his project is the most widely used for graphing, so getting it to perform exceptionally well would be time well spent. Apart from that, there were plenty of other good presentations and very awesome drinking^H^H^H^H^H^H^H mingle sessions. I highly recommend you attend it next year if you're managing nagios install at $dayjob, or if you're working on a Nagios addon project and want to get immediate feedback on what users are looking for. -- Mike Guthrie Technical Team ___ Nagios Enterprises, LLC Email: mguth...@nagios.com Web:www.nagios.com -- All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains
Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios - Check for Updates

When 3.3.1 came out, I waited for a week, and never saw the update available banner displayed on the Nagios main landing page (main.php). I've been playing with the main.php page to get it to display the date/time of the last update check, and it returns blank (no value), so I'm assuming that too mean it's not actually checking. Is your system running behind a proxy? If so, I'm wondering if the update check is attempting to check against the later version API directly... I am currently running Nagios 3.3.1 on the Novell SLES v10 server (Nagios compiled from source). Can anyone give me some troubleshooting steps to get me started? For example, is there a way to enable logging of the check for updates feature, and is there a way to manually start the update check (the API, not the web page URL link)? /**/ /*Florida's Capital County*/ /*Jon Adcock*/ Network Systems Administrator Leon County MIS 301 S.

Hello.
I want to check a service only once a day. So I tried this configuration:
define timeperiod {
timeperiod_name once-a-day
alias On mornings
monday 08:00-08:30
tuesday 08:00-08:30
wednesday 08:00-08:30
thursday08:00-08:30
friday 08:00-08:30
saturday08:00-08:30
sunday 08:00-08:30
}
define service {
use generic-service
check_periodonce-a-day
normal_check_interval 1440; 24 hours
...
}
Do you need the check to run between 8-8:30, or just every 24 hours?
Your check_interval will not exceed the maximum check spread that's in
the main nagios.cfg file. I would try either setting the timeperiod for
the check *or* setting the wide check interval.
Now when I check the service's next schedule time, Nagios is still
showing that the next check is scheduled to 24h after the previous check
and at 22:53 (pm). Restarting Nagios does not change that. Any tips for
what's wrong in the configuration?
If Nagios wants to schedule a check at a certain time, but it's not in
the timeperiod then it won't run it.
That's interesting. Documentation says:
Specifying a timeperiod in the /check_period/ directive allows you to
restrict the time that Nagios perform regularly scheduled, active
checks of the host or service. When Nagios attempts to reschedule a
host or service check, it will make sure that the next check falls
within a valid time range within the defined timeperiod. If it
doesn't, Nagios will adjust the next check time to coincide with the
next valid time in the specified timeperiod.
So I guess documentation is wrong then?
If you don't mind what time of day your check is run, then use the
standard 24x7 timeperiod.
If you want a check to run at a specific time of day, you need to run
it from cron so it submits the check result to Nagios as a passive
check.
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/nagioscore/3/en/passivechecks.html
Alternatively, if you don't mind your check being run a couple of
times each day, I would think you could leave your config as it is,
but set the normal_check_interval to 12 (minutes) or so to give it a
good chance of being scheduled within your 30-minute window.
Personally I would use cron, but it can be a bit fiddly to set up the
first time you try it.
OK, I guess I'd have to go with the passive checks through crontab
then (because I do mind what time the checks are run).
Ah yes, previously I just restarted Nagios every day (from crontab) so
that the checks would be re-scheduled, but in the new installation
Nagios does not re-schedule the checks on startup. Is there an option
for that? I don't seem to find it...
