Re: [Nagios-users] little question about disable notification and schedule downtime
Correct. The former will cause notifications to remain disabled until told otherwise; the latter only for as long as specified. You should read up on the difference between Fixed and Flexible scheduled downtime while you're at it. If you want service/host checks disabled, you need to select that option from the web GUI (or drop that command into nagios.cmd).

Re: [Nagios-users] RFC/RFP Nagios command workers
-Original Message- From: Andreas Ericsson [mailto:a...@op5.se] Sent: May-18-11 10:44 To: Nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net; nagios-devel Subject: [Nagios-users] RFC/RFP Nagios command workers Ahoy again. Since discussion on the last requests for comments and patches has splintered off and gotten somewhere, it's time for the next mail in the series of what us awesome gods of the Nagios core decided to work on for the next grand version of Nagios. This idea comes from Shinken, mod_gearman and DNX which have all implemented versions of it, so creds and kudos to the authors of those projects. Currently, Nagios eats quite a lot of I/O when writing, scanning for and reading the check result files. This becomes especially noticeable in large installations. There's also the problem of Nagios using a lot more copied memory per fork than it's supposed to, and the fact that embedding scripting languages inside the Nagios core to speed up execution is a potentially disastrous action (as the debacle with embedded Perl has proven to be). The idea to solve all of that is to fork() off a set of worker threads at startup that free()'s all possible memory and re-connects to the master process via a unix domain socket (or network socket that by default only listens to the localhost address) to receive requests to run commands and return the results of those commands. This has several benefits, although they're not immediately user visible. * I/O load will decrease significantly, leaving more disk throughput capacity for performance data graphing or status data database solutions. * Scripting languages can be embedded regardless of memory leaks and whatnot, since worker daemons can be killed off and respawned every 5 checks (or something), thus causing the kernel to clean up any and all leaked memory. * Nagios core can be single-threaded, which means higher portability, less memory usage and more robust code. * Eventbroker modules that use a socket to communicate with an external daemon can instead register a handler for inbound packets and then simply own that connection and get all future packets from it forwarded as eventbroker events. This will ofcourse reduce the module complexity quite a bit for nearly all much-used modules today (Merlin, livestatus, DNX, mod_gearman, NDOUtils, etc...) * It becomes possible to receive responses from Nagios when submitting commands (the current FIFO pipe is one-way communication only). Drawbacks: * It's quite a large and invasive change to the nagios core which will require a lot of testing. I know some people I met in Italy have already volunteered to help implementing and testing this (Hi Cheik), but it would definitely be helpful to get feedback from module authors and users when making this change to Nagios. Please note that a compatibility daemon which continues to parse the simple FIFO will ofcourse have to be implemented so that current scripts and whatnot keep on working, and the API to scan for and read check result files will also remain for the foreseeable future, although possibly implemented as an external helper program which can ship check results into the Nagios socket instead. Comments, patches and (before summer's out) testing is very much appreciated. -- Andreas Ericsson andreas.erics...@op5.se OP5 AB www.op5.se Tel: +46 8-230225 Fax: +46 8-230231 Sounds like a fantastic idea.

Subject: [Nagios-users] check_ntp offsets
I am running check_ntp plugin and I have setup an offset threshold of
-w 200 -c 300 but Nagios is still showing Offset -102.234564 secs
(Warning)
Running check_ntp from command line shows NTP OK
(/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_ntp -H hostname -w 200 -c 300)
Output: NTP OK: Offset -102.234564
secs|offset=-102.234564s;200.00;300.00;
Here is what I have added:
edit /etc/nagios/objetcs/command.cfg and add:
define command{
command_name check_ntp
command_line $USER1$/check_ntp -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w $ARG1$ -c
$ARG2$
}
edit /etc/nagios/objetcs/server.cfg and add:
define service{
use critical-service
host_name hostname
service_description NTP
check_command check_ntp!200!300
}
According to your check definition, the result is absolutely correct.
You asked it to warn you if the offset is more than 200 seconds, and go
critical if over 300 seconds.
What you were probably hoping for were thresholds in milliseconds. In
that case, you'll want to set -w and -c to fractional values (-w 0.2 -c
0.3, or whatever values you actually want as thresholds).

you can use -s and run a specific application (a batch file or

Couldn't you use a virtual framebuffer X server to allow for clients to
connect back, thereby redirecting screen output to the bitbucket?
That way, the logout script (a batch file with shutdown -l -f in it,
most likely) could accomplish the user-less session quite nicely, I

Re: [Nagios-users] check_snmp plugin stopped working
Today, for some reason, the check_snmp plugin stopped working. SNMP is configured for this server and I'm able to run commands like smpget and snmpwalk to the remote host; however, when I try to run the check_snmp plugin, I keep getting no data received from host.

Re: [Nagios-users] NRPE vs local check_procs = different result?

I'll post my configs later, but once you have confirmed that SMS is setup and working (make sure that for every email alert, you also get an SMS alert), then you define your network topology and put them into hostgroups. In my case, I have a hostgroup of network-core which includes my core routers, firewalls, Exchange server, Exchange storage, and the switch connecting the Exchange system with the firewall. I then have a contactgroup of the SMS addresses of three key people (myself included). If any of those device fail, Nagios sends notification via SMS. If anything else fails, it goes via emails. The kewl thing is I'll often sleep through emails, but if I get an SMS, I know something serious failed and I force myself to get up... Additionally, I tend to define a sanity check: a ping to yahoo and http to MSN and non-caching dns query of Google. If all sanity checks fail and are not resolved within 4 hours, then through escalations, an SMS is sent to the manager of the support team at our ISP as we likely have a bandwidth down issue. If sanity checks AND a core network device fail, my ISP doesn't get notified as we know its us... A.

Re: [Nagios-users] Antwort: Here Script for Formatting Nagios StatusPage for Mobile Devices
Well, that would mean you have to allow a DMZ machine to initiate connections into your internal LAN - which is a very, very, very bad idea... In most circumstances, yes, but (if I understand the setup correctly) an organization with a Blackberry Enterprise Server could pass web traffic from registered devices into the internal network. From there, internal firewalls and routes permitting, the BES could enable access to such a service from outside. Not exactly ideal from a pure security perspective, but it's a damned sight better than a direct DMZ connection. I, personally, am intrigued but the idea, and am going to give it a shot (if I ever get a few spare moments).

Re: [Nagios-users] RHEL4 selinux and nagios
Our current Nagios install (2.0b2) is running on an RHEL3 box. I'm setting up a new instance (2.8) on RHEL4; I set SELinux to Warn at install time, so that we don't get confused trying to figure out why things aren't working (we haven't had much need for SE before, but are starting to look at it now). On a somewhat-related note, if anyone is installing RHEL4 into a VM under VMware ESX 2.5, you've likely encountered the issue where the guest OS clock lags behind real time, even with ntp and VM guest clock sync set up. The fix, as I've discovered, is to update ESX to v2.5.4 build 36502 (three patch bundles from a stock 2.5.0 install). Apparently the issue doesn't affect ESX 3.0+, but we haven't tested - waiting for FY08 to start so we can start spending the budget and upgrade. :-) Just thought I'd share...
