Re: [Nagios-users] How to Schedule regular weekly downtime?
You could use a time exclusion in nagios.
In your time periods, make a copy of 24x7 calling it something different and
use the exclusion.
Then, with your server/services, change the notification_period to that new
time period to avoid receiving notifications during the reboot.
example, if you want to exclude notifications from 2am-3am, you would do this:
define timeperiod{
timeperiod_name windows-update
alias windows-update
sunday 00:00-24:00
monday 00:00-24:00
tuesday 00:00-24:00
wednesday 00:00-24:00
thursday00:00-24:00
friday 00:00-24:00
saturday00:00-24:00
exclude reboot
}
define timeperiod{
timeperiod_name reboot
alias reboot
saturday02:00-03:00
}
Nagios will still show host and service messages, but won't send notifications
in that time period.

Subject: [Nagios-users] How to Schedule regular weekly downtime?
I am monitoring a server that runs windows update and reboots every week
on Saturday at the same time. Is there any way to schedule this
downtime without having to go enter it every week manually?

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios stopped checking most of my services!
Funny you mention this; I just had the same problem. I'm looking at my hosts and of 85 of them, 82 was last checked about 11pm Sunday and the next scheduled check is 11pm Monday (about 90 min from now). I also have a number of services that are not scheduled to be checked again until 11pm. Most host and service checks are 5 min; some are 15/60 min. I'm not using NagioSQL.

Re: [Nagios-users] Using MySQL plugin for Nagios monitoring
I'm not sure what specific plugin you are referring to. Most of what I've seen are related to mysql performance, replication, etc. Are you looking for that or to only verify if mysql is running and accepting connections? If so, then you can avoid nsclient and use check_tcp for the port mysql is running on. example $ ./check_tcp -H 10.1.6.79 -p 3306 TCP OK - 0.000 second response time on port 3306|time=0.000438s;;;0.00;10.00 Please be more specific if this isn't what you're looking to accomplish.

Hello Nagios Users, I am hoping someone can help. This is not a technical problem as such but just a general request. I am introducing Nagios to my University as a monitoring solution, and I would like be able to list a few companies/academic establishments who are using Nagios to monitor their networks in a forthcoming presentation.

Re: [Nagios-users] check_http question
In nagios, go to view config - commands It will show the exact command line being used for the host or service check From: Andrew Davis [mailto:ncc...@gmail.com] Sent: Friday, February 27, 2009 2:28 PM To: nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Nagios-users] check_http question I've enabled check_http for quite a few hosts, including testing for custom ports, URL's, and sites needing authentication. So far, so good. However, one issue in the Nagios interface is bothering me. If I drill in on a host, then the HTTP link for the test, it only shows OK. It DOES NOT show the full URL that was tested. For example, for one of my hosts, I had to test for a non-standard port, SSL, a directory structure, and authentication (-I $HOSTNAME -p 8099 -u /dir/dir/dir/file.php -a user:password. All worked in the sense that the test returned an OK status, but I have no visual way of seeing the tested URL within Nagios. In contrast, doing a similar test in BB (which I'm migrating away from), shows the full URL that was tested. Am I simply missing something here?

There's your answer.
nagiosadmin is part of the admins group; the host definition has admins
to be notified every 2 hours during workinghours time period.
The service definition has admins to be notified every hour.
If you are looking to have someone else get notifications, you need to
create a separate contact for that user and define your hosts/services
accordingly to notify that user.

don't need to get' which tells me you don't want nagiosadmin to receive
messages related to windows hosts/services.
nagiosadmin is part of the admins group.
In the w3svc service, it doesn't have contacts defined so it's using
from generic-service - which has admins as a contact group so it would
be sending w3svc notices to nagiosadmin.

Well, the services that I'm having an issue with are a number of
services with our Windows systems. Heres' a sample:
define service{
use generic-service
host_name
engweb2,rexis-dev,osoft-fin-test,engweb1,plmsrv2,radius1,radius2,osoft-q
a-test
service_description W3SVC
check_command check_nt!SERVICESTATE!-d SHOWALL -l
W3SVC
}
The corresponding host definition for one of the hosts looks like this:
define host{
use windows-server ; Inherit default values from a
template
host_name engweb2 ; The name we're giving to this
host
alias Engineering Web Dev Server ; A longer name
associated with the host
address 172.20.9.138; IP address of the host
notifications_enabled 1
contactsjsmith,jjones
}
Here's the Windows server template:
define host{
namewindows-server ; The name of this host
template
use generic-host; Inherit default values
from the generic-host template
check_period24x7; By default, Windows
servers are monitored round the clock
check_interval 5 ; Actively check the
server every 5 minutes
retry_interval 1 ; Schedule host check
retries at 1 minute intervals
max_check_attempts 10 ; Check each server 10
times (max)
check_command check-host-alive; Default
command to check if servers are alive
notification_period 24x7; Send notification out
at any time - day or night
notification_interval 30 ; Resend notifications
every 30 minutes
notification_optionsd,r ; Only send
notifications for specific host states
contact_groups windows-admins ; Notifications get sent
to the windows-admins by default
hostgroups windows-servers ; Host groups that
Windows servers should be a member of
register0 ; DONT REGISTER THIS -
ITS JUST A TEMPLATE

To answer your questions. Yes, nagiosadmin is not part of the
linux-admins group. I did restart nagios after I made the change. And
yes, I have a contact group with no members. The contact list for
admins doesn't exist. I just realized that as I was searching my config
files. Which service definition did you want to see (you didn't specify
which one)?
Thanks for all your help!

Can you paste the contact list along with the service definition?

There's your answer.
nagiosadmin is part of the admins group; the host definition has admins
to be notified every 2 hours during workinghours time period.
The service definition has admins to be notified every hour.
If you are looking to have someone else get notifications, you need to
create a separate contact for that user and define your hosts/services
accordingly to notify that user.

It's the other way around (assuming I'm understanding the question
correctly).
If you have a host defined and you tell it to use the generic-host
template and define a different parameter for that specific host, that
takes precedence.
For example, here is your generic-host template and a defined host.
define host{
namegeneric-host
notifications_enabled 1
event_handler_enabled 1
flap_detection_enabled 1
failure_prediction_enabled 1
process_perf_data 1
retain_status_information 1
retain_nonstatus_information1
notification_period24x7
register0
}
define host{
nameredhatserver
usegeneric-host
notifications_enabled0
}
With the above host, it has notifications disabled; if that wasn't
defined for that host, it would use the value in the template.
Same applies for services.

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios Admin pages
It's the other way around (assuming I'm understanding the question
correctly).
If you have a host defined and you tell it to use the generic-host
template and define a different parameter for that specific host, that
takes precedence.
For example, here is your generic-host template and a defined host.
define host{
namegeneric-host
notifications_enabled 1
event_handler_enabled 1
flap_detection_enabled 1
failure_prediction_enabled 1
process_perf_data 1
retain_status_information 1
retain_nonstatus_information1
notification_period 24x7
register0
}
define host{
nameredhatserver
use generic-host
notifications_enabled 0
}
With the above host, it has notifications disabled; if that wasn't
defined for that host, it would use the value in the template.
Same applies for services.

Hi Seth,
Thanks for the link. I've looked more closely at the definitions, and
it looks like since I have the generic service that I'm using that
comes stalk with Nagios, that's what I'm using. That's what I'm
guessing anyway. This begets a question. If the other service
definitions inherit from the generic definition, it seems that the
generic service is the one that gets used, and has priority, not the
inherited one. Is that correct?

I got 3.0.6 and I took a service that had the next scheduled check in
12
min, did a force check on it and it did the check within a few seconds.
I don't know if this is the key or not, but these are passive service
checks that come in to a central server. So ordinarily, the check
result shows PASSIVE. I can reschedule an immediate check to make the
central server run the check (ACTIVE) and get results more quickly. I
can't do that with 3.0.6. It just sits there until the next passive
result comes in.
Anyway, looks like this is a known bug.

Re: [Nagios-users] question about hostgroups
So you have ServerA ServerB and ServerC as part of Hostgroup1.
You have services defined for the Hostgroup, but you want to exclude ServerC
from that one service.
In the service command, exclude ServerC by putting a ! in front of it.
Example:
define service{
use local-service
hostgroup_name Hostgroup1
host_name !ServerC
service_description SSH
check_command check_ssh
max_check_attempts2
check_interval 10
retry_interval 5
check_period 24x7
notification_interval 60
first_notification_delay 0
notification_period24x7
contacts nagiosadmin
notification_options c,w,r
}
All hosts in Hostgroup1 get checked for ssh except ServerC.

You should be fine installing Nagios on the new box and copying your config files - assuming the path stays the same. Everything under /usr/local/nagios/etc should suffice.

Re: [Nagios-users] Errors after installation
That tells me it isn't using commands.cfg (assuming you haven't changed
that) if it is complaining the command isn't defined anywhere.
Try reading the documentation.
I spent hours going through it, teaching myself how Nagios operates and
refrained from posting here until I had an issue that was out of the
ordinary (i.e. beyond the scope of the documentation).
Even 9 months later I'm still tweaking different services to make things
work better.
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/toc.html
It will take a while to understand not only how Nagios works, but how to
use all the available options and how it can fit in with your
environment and needs.

Keep in mind you will still have an issue if you keep the $
In the template you would use:
check_nt_service!MSSQL$$MICROSOFTSSEE
I had to make that change in my template else the check will fail as
MSSQL$MICROSOFTSSEE

Any assistance would be appreciated. I am having issues monitoring this

On the commandline this works great:

It report that all services and up and running. However, in the template:

This reports WARNING 11-25-2008 13:04:30 0d 0h 1m 1s 1/5
MSSQL$MICROSOFT##SSEE$: Unknown
I've been searching through forums but haven't found this. I'm sure
someone has run into this issue.
What version of NSclient++ do you have, i found a bug in NSClient++ that
it can't handle # correct in servicenames.
You can rename a service if you want to remove the # Chars.
Regedit - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services
rename the folder named MSSQL$MICROSOFT#SSEE to eg MSSQL$MICROSOFT_SSEE
reboot the _windows_ machine and your service is now named
MSSQL$MICROSOFT_SSEE
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Re: [Nagios-users] Alerts generated when max_check_attempts set to 3
Yes you are. If you have a host notification and set max_check_attempts to 1 and, let's say you also have check_interval to 60 (1 min) for a host then disconnect the cable, within the next minute Nagios check will fail and send immediate notification of host down because the check attempt was 1. If you say max_check_attempts is 3, and do the same thing, the host will show as down, but unless you reconnect within the next couple min before that 3rd check, Nagios won't send out a notification. Once it hits that 3rd check and is still in a down state, it will then send notification of host down. If by the 3rd check it has recovered, no notification is sent. HTH -Original Message- From: Deborah Martin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, November 24, 2008 6:08 AM To: 'nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net' Subject: [Nagios-users] Alerts generated when max_check_attempts set to 3 Importance: High Hi, Just a quick question - I'm changing the max_check_attempts from 1 to 3 for a specific plugin and I wondered, does this mean that an email notification won't go out until the 3rd attempt is reached ? (Which is what I want to achieve). Or will all 3 attempts generate an email notification. The docs say the following :- max_check_attempts: This directive is used to define the number of times that Nagios will retry the service check command if it returns any state other than an OK state. Setting this value to 1 will cause Nagios to generate an alert without retrying the service check again. Am I understanding this correctly ?

Re: [Nagios-users] checks, notifications don't work after time period exception
This is interesting. I setup a test environment using only localhost. I created a similar time period as I have on my production box, adjusted the threshold on / free space to purposely generate a warning below 80% free. It did go to warning status at 15:18 within the exclusion of 15:00 to 15:30. It's now 22:05 and when I look at the details it hasn't sent any notifications - in other words it didn't start notifications after the exclusion period finished.

I tried excluding a time slot between 0300, and 0600 due to large DB loads causing website performance issues (backups, indexing, and such). When the start of the exception rolled around, nagios would just stop checking that service, and would only restart on a forced manual check, or restart of the nagios service. I ended up changing the theory to continue checking 24x7, but only alert when outside the exception. Not that it helps the issue, but it stopped the symptoms. I never got around to really digging into the issue any deeper. It did give me the added benefit of knowing when the server was actually down during the maintenance window, and when it was just being slow. This was handy for management purposes so they could calculate if they need more head count. Hi Jon, So it was following your notification timeperiod but not your check timeperiod? Was version of Nagios were you running? Were you using the exclude function (new to nagios 3.x)? Nagios 3.x did add new functionality to timeperiods. It is possible that a bug was introduced.

[Nagios-users] checks, notifications don't work after time period exception
We have a qa group overseas that will work on our customer sites during
the US overnight. To avoid false alerts, I added a time exception so
notifications are not sent out between 4am and 5:30am. The problem is,
after the exception, Nagios (3.0.3) won't send notifications, neither
are checks performed for any sites with an exception. If a site is in a
critical state either shortly after 4 or (if they start early) right
before 4, checks do not continue after 5:30. When I look at Nagios
later, it shows it in critical and the last check was done at 3:58am
with the next check at midnight the next day.
Let me give some more specific examples:
Server-A is running abc.customer.com for us and our qa group takes the
site down at 3:55am, before the 4am exception. Nagios will show as
critical until either midnight the next day, or you force a check on the
service. So, say at 8am I look at it, the service is critical with last
check at 3:55am and next scheduled check at 12am tomorrow. When I force
a check, it will continue on normal check schedule and send notice that
the service is ok.
Server-B is also running a site and tomcat is stopped at 4:10am. This
service has notification period with the same time period with
exceptions from 4am - 5:30am. After that it will not send
notifications. At 8am it is still doing checks and saying is critical,
but when looking at the details it says it has not sent any
notifications. When I force a check it still won't do it. If I restart
Nagios then it does a check it will send first notice. I don't see
anything wrong with my time period so not sure where the issue is. Not
sure if anyone else has noticed this before.
Here is what I have for that time period and checks for the above
examples:

Re: [Nagios-users] Can I monitor a host without defining any services for it?
It probably does serve a purpose, just not for what you are trying to accomplish. Though warnings are given about not having services associated, you should be fine with just host checks if that is what you want. As far as the checks go, I have 101 servers and over 1200 service checks and have never noticed a time lag with any of them. Would be best to use check_ping with your check_command directive for your hosts. If you leave this argument blank, the host will not be actively checked. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ian Masters Sent: Thursday, August 7, 2008 9:40 PM To: Thomas Guyot-Sionnest Cc: nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] Can I monitor a host without defining any services for it? Thomas Thanks for your reply. You can use check_dummy for the service... In Nagios 3 with regularly scheduled hosts checks it should work. Well, at the moment I only have about 20 hosts being tested, and even though I have check_interval set to 1 in the host definition, looking at the scheduling queue, I can see that host checks are only occurring every 80 seconds. When I've added about 200 more hosts I'm wondering if this time lag will increase. If that is the case, then I guess I will have to use check_ping after all. In Nagios 2 hosts check were normally on-demand so it wouldn't work if your service always returns OK. Interesting. I never used Nagios 2. According to check_dummy -h: This plugin will simply return the state corresponding to the numeric value of the state argument with optional text Am I right in thinking that this does not actually perform a test? It just returns a state (OK, Warning etc) depending on the argument you give to check_dummy. Is that correct? If that is the case, is there really any point in using it for my purposes. Obviously it prevents the Nagios warnings, but other than that is it really serving any purpose?

I still don't quite know why my host checks are being scheduled every 70 seconds. In my host definition, I've set check_interval to 1... any ideas?

[Nagios-users] strange problem with service check rescheduling
I have a strange problem with some service checks. We have a number of customer sites that are being monitored. There is a group in asia that often will recycle sites during the night (US) and so the monitoring schedule of these checks is 24x7 with exclusion of 4am-5:30am. Here is the problem. Last 3 days I get up in the morning and Nagios shows a number of service checks in a critical state. The last 2 days it was only a few, but today is 42 (all customer sites). The last check of the service is showing 3:55am which is right before the exclusion period starts. However, it never started again at 5:30am. In addition, the next scheduled check is midnight tomorrow. I know they are not doing this (manual reschedule) because I have user authentication enabled and the apache log shows no access the last several hours. I've had this exclusion in place for over a month and this just started on Monday. I did not make any changes over the weekend.

[Nagios-users] multiple downtime alerts on restart
Has anyone noticed that if a host is in downtime and you restart or reload nagios that notifications are automatically sent out again regarding the downtime? For example, right now I have a linux host that is being moved to a different location and I have it in downtime for a few days. I made some changes to a few windows services and restarted nagios a couple times and each time it restarted it sent an email stating that downtime started for that one linux host (though it's been in downtime for a couple days already). I noticed this doesn't happen if it's a service in downtime, only for a host. I couldn't find anything in the documentation or faq on this. Is this supposed to be like that?

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios help!!

Hi
I am new to nagios !
I have added my first windows machine as stated below , now i want to
add more machines , so do i need to add one more windows.cfg file with
new host definations or simply add hostname in present file windows.cfg
seperated by comma ,
like
host_nameserver1,server2,
This might seem a very stupid questions to many but still as i am new to
this, so i need some help.
Add a new host
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/objectdefinitions.html#host
definition for the Windows machine that you're going to monitor. If this
is the *first* Windows machine you're monitoring, you can simply modify
the sample host definition in windows.cfg. Change the host_name, alias,
and address fields to appropriate values for the Windows box.
define host{
use windows-server
; Inherit default values from a Windows server template (make sure you
keep this line!)
host_name winserver
alias My Windows Server
address 192.168.1.2
}
Good. Now you can add some service definitions (to the same
configuration file) in order to tell Nagios to monitor different aspects
of the Windows machine. If this is the *first* Windows machine you're
monitoring, you can simply modify the sample service definitions in
windows.cfg.

Re: [Nagios-users] Monitoring in different time periods
I understand the first part about adding all to the same contact groups.
The second part I can't see how they would have their own hours, unless
I have a separate service defined? For example if I have this (below)
what line(s) would I need to add/modify? I'm thinking I would have to
have a different service defined for each check/notification period?
define service{
use generic-service
host_name servername
service_description Free Space on /
is_volatile 0
check_period24x7
max_check_attempts 2
normal_check_interval 3
retry_check_interval5
contact_groups admins
notification_interval 30
notification_period 24x7
notification_optionsu,r
check_command check_nrpe!check_root
}

Hi,
You can simply add both India and non-India users to the same contact
groups you're currently using. India team will have their notification
timeperiod set to their working hours whereas the other team would have
the remaining hours as their notification timeperiod.

Re: [Nagios-users] Monitoring in different time periods
Ok I understand now. I'm looking at this in the wrong place. I'm thinking I need to modify the actual services, (which I will have to to some extent) though the solution is in the contacts and timeperiods cfg. I just stumbled across p.234 of the manual on adding the host/service notification_period. It makes sense now. -Original Message- From: Wojciech Kocjan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, April 03, 2008 3:24 PM To: Seth Simmons; nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] Monitoring in different time periods On Thu, 03 Apr 2008 21:12:21 +0200, Seth Simmons [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I understand the first part about adding all to the same contact groups.

No, I assume what you actually want is to: 1/ Monitor the service 24x7 2/ For India working hours, notify India 3/ For remaining hours, notify someone else So, define single service, two contact groups and for India group members configure them for Indiaworkinghours time period and for someone else configure them for a timeperiod defining remaining hours. Then if a problem comes in during Indiaworkinghours, India staff will get the message. On remaining hours someone else will get the message. -- Wojciech Kocjan - Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.

[Nagios-users] missing cgi scripts
I noticed trends, statusmap, histogram cgi scripts are missing. I just installed gd-devel so I'm assuming those modules are what was missing in the initial install (someone correct me if other modules might be required). I came across this article... http://www.nagios.org/faqs/viewfaq.php?faq_id=55 ...problem is, I don't know what folder it is referring to when it says to run make devclean from nagios source code distribution and rerun the configuration script. - Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.

It is able to ping the servers, however, I am getting a connection refused for all the service checks. What do I need to do to be able to check these services?
