[Nagios-users] check_disk reporting incorrectly
The output of check_disk doesn't seem to be making any sense. Can someone tell me what's going on here? It looks like it's got it's gigabytes and terabytes confused, but something is clearly wrong. Using the -u GB or -u MB switch doesn't help any. Oh, and this is on a PPC XServe MAC running OS X 10.5.6. The device that's reporting wrong is an NFS disk on another server.

[Nagios-users] Acknowledgement after escalation, sends email to the escalation email?
Hi all,
Okay, here's the problem. I set up nagios to send emails to our RT
system for certain problems. For example:
define serviceescalation{
host_name server
service_description Uptime
contact_groups admins,rt
first_notification 3
last_notification 3
notification_interval 0
escalation_period 24x7
escalation_options c
}
This worked perfectly today, 'server' failed the 'Uptime' service
check, and on the third notification, it went into the RT system.
I logged into the Nagios web interface, and acknowledged the problem.
Nagios then sent the acknowledgement email into RT, which opened a
second ticket.
That shouldn't happen. How do I disable Nagios from sending
acknowledgement emails to the email that it escalated to. I know I
could have unchecked the box to send email, but I'd rather for Nagios
to ONLY do what I told it to do, which is to send out the escalation
on the third notification, and not try and be smart and send
acknowledgements to that address too.
Thanks.
--Peter

Could you provide me with more information on this? And where did you tell nagios what notification types to send to the escalated contacts; that specifically restricted acknowledgements? Heh. It was told by the Nagios developer to send acknowledgment notifications to any contact that received a prior notification. This is very longstanding and generally desired behavior that currently trumps anything you think you've told nagios to do in that regard. ;) I understand this. I just viewed it as I told nagios to send one notification at a specific point, so I was surprised when it started sending acknowledgement emails. So there isn't a specific option to disable acknowledgments? escalation_options c ^^ implies to me, that it will ONLY send escalation emails on critical status. I think there should be a field similar to this that allows enabling/disabling the acknowledgement email. Either way, whether you agree that this is something that should be easily user-configurable or not, can you tell me specifically how to stop this behavior?

Re: [Nagios-users] check_ntp_peer unreliable on macs

I was just looking into this exact problem. If you check the verbose output, you will probably see something like this: 0 candiate peers available warning: no synchronization source found warning: LI_ALARM bit is set I do get valid output from ntpq -p hostname, however. Apparently, the problems with OS X's NTP are well-known and documented. For example, http://knol.google.com/k/dirk-h-schulz/time-synchronization-ntp-on-mac-os-x/2bcee0ik2900p/18# http://support.ntp.org/bin/view/Support/KnownOsIssues#Section_9.2.5 As a way around this, I thought I would just use check_ntp_time, to compare the xserve's clock against that of the nagios box. However, no luck there either: sending request to peer 0 response from peer 0: offset -0.9300264975 sending request to peer 0 response from peer 0: offset -0.9299369976 sending request to peer 0 response from peer 0: offset -0.9299154976 sending request to peer 0 response from peer 0: offset -0.9298709977 discarding peer 0: stratum=0 overall average offset: 0 NTP CRITICAL: Offset unknown| It seems that OS X is responding as a stratum 0 server, which is a no-no. Also, while fiddling with check_ntp_peer, I noticed that it doesn't seem to accept a port (-p or --port), as the help output suggests it should be able to. Am I crazy? -Keith Yeah, after a little more diagnostic work I eventually concluded that it was just OS X's implementation of NTP that is just broke. It seems to be in sync for a while, then it just forgets it for a while, and eventually, maybe it'll sync up again. Maybe they'll fix that for 10.6 this year. --Peter -- ___ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null
[Nagios-users] Nagios and email
Hello, I have a kind of custom nagios setup, so maybe this is a byproduct of that... I had to reboot my nagios server today, and it didn't come right back up. By the time it did, it realized that the service checks weren't fresh, and started sending out lots of notifications. I stopped sendmail to keep from flooding my inbox...so here's the question: I just want to clear out the outgoing email queue. mailq and sendmail -bp both show nothing queued up. When I restart sendmail, it starts sending again. Has nagios passed all the emails over to sendmail, and I just need to clear out sendmail's queue, or is nagios holding onto them while sendmail isn't running, and then once it sees sendmail running, it starts dumping email into the queue? Which is it, and how do I clear them from the queue?

[Nagios-users] check_ntp_peer unreliable on macs
I've got Nagios monitoring several Macs, and I'd like to know that NTP is running okay on them, since if the time drifts by a few minutes, Kerberos Authentication stops working. It seems that some of the newest Macs work okay, pretty much any of the Intel Macs running 10.5 Leopard work, but on any of the 10.4 Tiger Macs, I just get NTP CRITICAL: Server not synchronized, Offset unknown I'm simply running check_ntp_peer -H localhost Any suggestions on if this can be fixed somehow?
