Re: [Nagios-users] displaying multiple lines of output in the GUI
Does anyone know how to configure nagios to display multiple lines output in the CGI? We're using nagios 3.2.0 and apparently, having multiple lines in the cgi is not done automagically. Thank you.

Re: [Nagios-users] Looking for an alternative user interface with more advanced features
There are times that we need to take couple of hosts from *multiple* hostgroups for upgrade/testing. It gets to be time consuming commiting downtime for 20+ hosts one by one. Nagios only has features for either hostgroups and/or servicegroups but not a listing of nodes where users can pick and choose which hosts and services to enable/disable/downtime.

[Nagios-users] Strange fluctuation in load average
Hi all, When I first installed nagios-3.2.0 with embedded perl enabled, nagios experienced increasing latency, starting at 1 sec and climbed upto 300 within a few hours until restarting nagios. I read on one of the older post suggesting to recompile nagios *without* embedded perl, and that resolved the latency issue, with latency consistently at less than 1 sec. However, ever since, the system load average has fluctuated wildly from 1 to 12 and down to say ... 3 within a minute. This fluctuation happens 3-10 minutes each time and calms down for ... say an hour. There doesn't seem to be any cron jobs that can cause this kind of load, and cpu (1-quad core) is usually at least 50% idle , with plenty of free memory, no IO blocks, on Centos 5-2. What's strange is with nagios compiled with embedded perl, the load was consistently at 2-4. Could this be nagios related? Please let me know if you need more information. -- Trisha Hoang | IT/Operations | Rockyou, Inc. | Phone: 408-472-3989 | AIM: rockyoutrisha -- ThinkGeek and WIRED's GeekDad team up for the Ultimate GeekDad Father's Day Giveaway.

Re: [Nagios-users] Full Throttle Nagios
I spent couple weeks playing with 3.2.1 and found that it performs very well with active checks (6500+ in 5 min at 1-2 sec latency max) but could not pass 5000 passive checks on the master server.

Re: [Nagios-users] Problems with distributed monitoring
Hi Sergio, Some of the directives I found helpful for our MASTER server are listed below. Since status.dat and nagios.cmd are disk bound, put them on ramdisk will be faster. status_file=/mnt/ramdisk/status.dat command_file=/mnt/ramdisk/nagios.cmd I don't think aggressive_host_checking is needed as nagios checks for host when a service is in error anyway. use_aggressive_host_checking=0 check_host_freshness=0 Service freshness is important as the MASTER tends to process passive checks much slower so the services may go stale. However, since our checks are 5 min interval, having the MASTER wait for the next round of check is fine. check_service_freshness=1 service_freshness_check_interval=420 We use nagios-3.2.1 and I think these directives are still experimental but they seem to help. You will see defunct nagios processes that come and go. I think it's caused by child forked once instead of twice so one gets killed (my theory), but again, it seems to be running ok. use_large_installation_tweaks=0 child_processes_fork_twice=0 Our MASTER receives ~7000 passive checks from the SLAVE but it could only process max ~5000 passive checks per 5 min. The latency is about 10 secs. For the rest, the MASTER actively checks them. If you or someone knows a way to improve passive check processing, that will be great. Also, in our setup, we don't use NSCA. The slaves have ocsp_command=send_service_check where this command inserts the checks into a file that gets sent every 5 sec to the master. On the master, there's a script that opens this file and inserts the lines directly into the nagios.cmd pipe every 5 sec.

[Nagios-users] pnp4nagios
In our environment, the slaves send check results in bulk to the master, which means that all the nagios macros associated with the results are no longer available once reached the master. What I want to do is to install pnp4nagios on the master so that we'll have graphs for all the results. The problem now is how do I manually create the right syntax for the service-perfdata file to be processed by the pnp4nagios script process_perfdata.pl, when all the macros are not available? Perhaps if you have a sample service-perfdata file, that would be helpful. Trisha -- Download Intel#174; Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
