[Nagios-users] Fix for battery state Learning in check_perc.pl from Matt Stanford
I have no idea if anybody else is using this plugin or not, but I've been using it quite successfully on a bunch of older Dell machines, and it's been doing great, except for throwing a critical error when the Battery state is Learning. I updated the code to handle the Learning state, but can't seem to find the author to submit the patch.

Just to toss another fly in the ointment, it's dangerous to test a service by examining what Windows thinks it's doing. Many times a service says it's up but is actually dead. It would be more reliable to write a plugin that would actually examine the service to see if it can/is actually working.

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios authentication thru LDAP.
Quoting Robert J Molerio rjm...@nyu.edu: Can anyone indicate how this can be done? We would like users to log on to Nagios via LDAP. I think we need to configure the Apache server within Nagios to be able to do this but we're not sure. It's definitely possible using Apache's LDAP auth, however you might want to consider that when your network is going ape, it's really nice to know that your Nagios machine doesn't require any external resources. That's why I chose local auth (htpasswd). Now matter how much of the brown stuff is flying around, Nagios is up.

It doesn't quite match what we want to test. I'm thinking we may need to have a few different tests, possibly related to one another. If there's a 4xx/5xx error, it's a hard fail. If there's no 4xx/5xx error, but we get the DATABASE_TEST_RAN_LONG result, it's a soft fail, turning hard on 6 repeats. That string appears in our application, it's not a nagios-determined slowness. Alternately, we might want to have a separate test for DB performance (there may well be, I'm still digging through rules and tests). If there's an OK result, there's no error. The 4xx/5xx errors are exclusive of the other two possible results. If there's no 4xx/5xx error, we've got the option of either of the other two conditions. So: is this a three-check test? How would I set precedence among them? You can actually completely ignore the DATABASE_TEST_RAN_LONG result and let the plugin decide if it ran long or not. That's part of it's design. The plugin also handles the 4xx and 5xx errors. However if you insist on using the DATABASE_TEST_RAN_LONG result to determine if the server is happy, then you'll need to modify the plugin to catch the string and interpret it as a WARNING OR CRITICAL as appropriate. Nagios won't notify on it until it happens several times in a row, depending on your specific settings. Unless I'm misunderstanding something, The only result that matters is OK because everything else is Not OK, regardless of whether it's a performance issue, an access issue or a server failure. I believe you're unnecessarily complicating the test. -- uberSVN's rich system and user administration capabilities and model configuration take the hassle out of deploying and managing Subversion and the tools developers use with it.

What would be a sane process of getting Nagios to:
- Report all clear when we get a 200 status and OK text on page?
- Wait for 6 consecutive instances of DATABASE_TEST_RAN_LONG before
alerting for that result.
- Alert immediately on any cases not matching one of the above?
I don't believe we can capture this in a single test unless I'm missing
something.

Re: [Nagios-users] Separate mail server problems cause Nagios to plotz (or vice versa?)
Simultaneously, Nagios, which is on a separate server, will send out notifications that every service on every server is down because Nagios cannot reach them.nbsp; Why can't it reach them? Is your mail server also your router? Good Gosh, no! That's why this is so puzzling. The next time it happens, unplug your mail server's network connection (it failed anyway). I'll bet it's flooding the network with (good?/bad?) packets and nagios can't get through. It taking the mailserver offline fixes it, at least you know where to look, I'd also check the mailserver logs. Some aren't too bright about handling bounces and if it's misconfiigured, you can end up with an infinite number of bounce messages for the bounce messages.

Re: [Nagios-users] Return code of 141 is out of bounds Error in Nagios 3.2.3
Quoting Rai Ricafrente maill...@ricafrente.com: The output returns OK status when run manually. It seems that the error occurs at random times, but as mentioned, will eventually go away. If the plugin is the issue, the error should be persistent. The plugin isn't handling one or more input conditions correctly and is returning an out-of-bounds value. This is the only possible cause I'm aware of for that message. It's very specific. You should be able to examine the plugin's source code and see what conditions could trigger it. FWIW, this is a bug in the plugin, since anything besides OK, Warning or Critical should be returned as Unknown (4).

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios Issue of not detecting down/up status of server and delay of mails notifications
Quoting Manish Kumar manikuma...@gmail.com: The problem is that nagios is not able to send e-mail notification as soon as any server/service/network device goes down. Some of the e-mails are delayed around 12 hours and some are not triggered even, for example if a server goes down for around a hour and is up again after that, nagios is not able to detect it. I have setup the fedora 14 to use its sendmail sever to relay the mails to our corporate smtp sever. Your complaint is much too general. You will need to turn on debugging in nagios and examine the debug log to see when the down state is detected and when the alert is generated. If the alert is being generated but not delivered on time, you'll need to examine your mail server's logs. If the down-state isn't being detected soon enough, you'll need to determine if it's not being scheduled frequently enough or if your server or network is too overloaded to execute the checks on time.

Terry We already send a message in and have it forwarded back to us. This does not detect a disconnected mailbox store because the queue processes the message and drops it back in the outbound queue. Does the auto-responder still work with a disconnected mailbox store? If the mailbox store is unavailable, the sender should get an NDR, although you would need to verify this, since I haven't tested it. However, If this isn't the case, send an email that should be delivered. The SMTP protocol requires a reject if the delivery fails, which it must if the mailbox store isn't there.

Since i am monitoring very critical network elements any delay in the host/service failure notification will harm us. As far as I know, the default configuration is for Nagios to wait for a hard state before sending out notifications.

Is there some sort of rule or wild-card that would tell Nagios that all network based checks should be disabled if the host can't be pinged? Thanks!

Re: [Nagios-users] Message Subject - PROBLEM Service Alert: hostname is UP (fixed)
Quoting Terry Carmen te...@cnysupport.com:
I've been receiving a continuous stream of these messages and can't
seem to figure out why or make them stop.
Nagios is sending repeated notifications that various hosts are up
even though they have never been down.
I've googled a number of similar problems, but unfortunately no
applicable solutions.
Does anybody have any ideas what I could check?
Here's an update:
I found a seemingly unrelated problem. I had duplicated the
notify-host-by-email command into the notify-service-by-email command.
While this accounted for the inappropriate message content, fixing it
seems to have also fixed the repeating notifications (haven't received
any in a while).
No idea why fixing the invalid message text would also fix the
repeating notifications, but it seems OK now.
I'm posting the answer here in case anybody else runs into this problem.

the mailer.
