how about have another definition:

I get 6 emails as I should at N1-6, I get the SMS at N3.
I also get the recovery email but I don’t get the recovery SMS.
Is this because I told it not to text me again after N3, and this also
includes recovery alerts?
Thanks

Subject: How to limit the amout of SMS notifications?
Hi all,
I have Nagios 3.3.1 setup on Ubuntu Desktop 11.04.
I monitor approx. 70 hosts (mixture of Windows Servers, Switches, Firewalls)
by PING only.
Down hosts are notified to me via email and SMS at the moment.
What I would like to so is limit the amount of SMS messages that are sent
from my Nokia phone connected to my Ubuntu box.
As it stands I allow 3 checks 1 minute apart before I am alerted via email –
after that I am alerted via email every 5 minutes until recovery.
I have just implemented the phone to SMS alerts aswell but I want to limit
the amount of texts as I don’t want a text every 5 minutes until recovery
for sanity reasons and also cost reasons!
This is what I would like to happen If a host goes down:
Email and SMS to be sent out on the 3rd failed check to the host (So 1st
alert is sent out after 3 minutes of the host being down.)
Then……
I want to be alerted via email every 5 minutes until the host recovers
But……
I only want 2 more SMS after the initial SMS, 5 minutes apart and then no
more SMS until the host is recovered. So I want an SMS after 3, 8 and 13
minutes of the host being down, then a recovery SMS.
Is this possible?
Thanks in advance
Kind Regards
Andrew

Re: [Nagios-users] object inheritance - overwrite custom variables?
When you use multiple inheritance sources, Nagios will use the
variable/value from the first source that is specified in the use
directive.
On Wed, Nov 16, 2011 at 2:13 AM, Anders Kvist and...@kvistmail.dk wrote:
Hey
I have tried to use object inheritance in my nagios config, but a few
things are bugging me:
I have a linux-server which uses generic-server and sets up default
settings for all my linux servers. I have some templates for tasks, in
this case: storage, kvm and hardware. They only add the hostgroup (and
gets services this way) and have some custom variables. Here is an example:
define host{
name storage-server
hostgroups +storage-servers
register 0
__PROCS_WARN 500
__PROCS_CRIT 750
}
A kvm host is defined with 'use linux-server,kvm-server,hardware-server'
and storage host with 'use linux-server,storage-server,hardware-server'.
Here is an example of a storage host:
define host{
use linux-server,storage-server,hardware-server
host_name storage01.domain.tld
alias storage01
address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
}
Hostgroups work fine (even tough the lists of hostgroups on a host in
the webinterface isn't in the same order as the use-line), but custom
variables doesn't. I have a __PROCS_WARN and __PROCS_CRIT in
linux-servers with a default number of max processes before warning and
critical - this needs to be overwritten for kvm-server and
storage-server, because they have more processes - but the one from
linux-server is used in both cases...
What do I need to do to make this work as expected?

Re: [Nagios-users] CPU performance with Nagios 3.2.3
load is not the same as cpu usage, load is the number of queued processes in a period. maybe there are processes waiting for some events, such as I/O. 2011/7/19 Javier González jagonza...@gmail.com: Hello, I have seen a lot peaks on the CPU LOAD of my nagios machine (See pnp4nagios graphs on pdf document attached). I don´t know which process/processes are the ones that use too much CPU on that periods because the PC is only used for Nagios (And plugins used with it) and all the plugins defined have a check_period of 1 minute and there is a lot of periods where the load is near to 0 (so what happens every 2 hours more or less that use so much CPU???) I have tried to find the process that causes this behavior with the top command but %Cpu idle is always (also on the peaks of the CPU LOAD) more han 70% and no process uses more than 4% of CPU (See three examples of TOP command where %CPU idle is always high but Load vary a lot on each case) ** top - 11:52:27 up 9:51, 1 user, load average: 0.09, 0.56, 0.62 Tasks: 102 total, 1 running, 101 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie Cpu(s): 7.9%us, 1.5%sy, 0.0%ni, 88.4%id, 1.0%wa, 0.3%hi, 0.8%si, 0.0%st Mem: 2050176k total, 675704k used, 1374472k free, 132628k buffers Swap: 2096472k total, 0k used, 2096472k free, 84k cached top - 13:30:05 up 11:29, 2 users, load average: 1.53, 1.27, 0.83 Tasks: 110 total, 3 running, 107 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie Cpu(s): 9.2%us, 1.5%sy, 0.0%ni, 88.6%id, 0.0%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.7%si, 0.0%st Mem: 2050176k total, 708540k used, 1341636k free, 139020k buffers Swap: 2096472k total, 0k used, 2096472k free, 334668k cached top - 13:16:39 up 1 day, 11:15, 2 users, load average: 2.45, 2.03, 1.96 Tasks: 106 total, 1 running, 105 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie Cpu(s): 7.8%us, 1.4%sy, 0.0%ni, 89.1%id, 1.0%wa, 0.2%hi, 0.5%si, 0.0%st Mem: 2050176k total, 845668k used, 1204508k free, 167244k buffers Swap: 2096472k total, 0k used, 2096472k free, 351224k cached Is there some way to find wich process cause this high CPU LOAD ?

Re: [Nagios-users] Referencing resource.cfg variable in SNMP COMMUNITY
i think macros can only be used in command definition. if all remote hosts' snmp strings have been modified, changing of snmp community name for checking is not so difficult since you only have to modify some configuration files on nagios monitor instead of every remote hosts.

Re: [Nagios-users] Q: Service Escalation Recovery Notifications.
by the examples from nagios documentation, only on-call-support will
get the 6th and above notifications.
On Thu, May 19, 2011 at 4:33 AM, Paul M. Dubuc w...@paul.dubuc.org wrote:
Here is an example from the Nagios 3.2.3 documentation on service escalations.
Recovery Notifications
Recovery notifications are slightly different than problem notifications
when it comes to escalations. Take the following example:
define serviceescalation{
host_name webserver
service_description HTTP
first_notification 3
last_notification 5
notification_interval 20
contact_groups nt-admins,managers
}
define serviceescalation{
host_name webserver
service_description HTTP
first_notification 4
last_notification 0
notification_interval 30
contact_groups on-call-support
}
If, after three problem notifications, a recovery notification is sent out
for the service, who gets notified? The recovery is actually the fourth
notification that gets sent out. However, the escalation code is smart
enough to realize that only those people who were notified about the
problem on the third notification should be notified about the recovery. In
this case, the nt-admins and managers contact groups would be notified of
the recovery.
My question is who gets the recovery notification after 6 problem
notifications? Only on-call-support (the last one notified), or all three
contact groups (since all received notifications of the problem)? If only
on-call-support (which seems to be the case), how can I ensure that the others
get it too?
I tried adding a service escalation for the recovery notification, like so in
keeping with the above example:
define serviceescalation{
host_name webserver
service_description HTTP
first_notification 2
last_notification 0
escalation_options r
contact_groups on-call-support,nt-admins,managers
}
but that doesn't seem to work. I had thought this fixed the problem but the
recovery notification only seems to go to the last contact(s) that were
notified of the problem.

Re: [Nagios-users] Notification after Acknowledgment

On Fri, May 13, 2011 at 3:34 PM, Andre Kruger andre.kru...@trw.com wrote: Hi Can you guys please give me your input on how you handle the following situation. Lets take monitoring a disk as an example. For arguments sake lets say when the disk reaches 80% capacity I send out a warning and at 90% I send out a critical. There is also a Service Escalation configured to send out notifications when this service reaches critical. So at 80 percent I get my notification all is well. I then go ahead and acknowledge the event and in doing so Nagios will not send out any further notifications. Which according to the Nagios logic is correct. The problem is if the disk in the mean time reaches critical, 90% capacity, I won't get another notification. Not even the Service Escalation helps here, because the event has already been acknowledged. Do you guys have any suggestions on how this problem can be solved?

Hi all,
I seem to have a working solution but an confused as to why it works,
could some one please explain or suggest a better way to do this.
I apply service to hosts via, host-templates and wanted to change a
value for a service but just for one hosts.
I didnt want to add a new service / service template hoping i could
just over ride the value for just that one host:
I am running Nagios 3.2.3 and the simplified config looks like this:
service {
name service-check
command run-some-check.sh
max_check_attempts 1
hostgroup_name host_group1
}
host {
name host-template1
use generic
hostgroups +host_group1
register 0
}
host {
name host1
use host-template1
}
host {
name host2
use host-template1
}
Now I wanted to change the value for max_check_attempts used by the
service for host2.
What I did was
service {
name service-check
command run-some-check.sh
max_check_attempts 3
host host2
}
This created duplicate a warning when doing a verbose config check,
but no warning on the normal config check and it allowed Nagios to
reload and used the values from the host defined service!
My questions are,
why does this work?
Is Nagios actually running both services but only showing one of
them in the gui and ill probably have some race condition between
them.
Is there a better way to do this?
Thanks for your help,
Ritchie

Re: [Nagios-users] Strange problem using the obsessive/compulsive service processor in Nagios Core 3.2.3
if you use ocsp service/host commands to send results to the secondary server, the primary server will wait the ndo module to update the mysql database for completing the commands. it should be an issue of latency, especially you use the obsessive function on *EVERY* check. On Wed, Apr 27, 2011 at 10:29 PM, Eric Michaelis combin...@gmail.com wrote: Good morning! We're having a strange issue trying to use the obsessive/compulsive processor in Nagios. We're running Nagios Core 3.2.3, with Nagios plugins version 1.4.15. In our previous production environment, we had encountered issues with performance while using the NDO module, so we're trying to set up an architecture like so: Primary server: Runs all active checks, and uses the mklivestatus broker for Nagvis maps and other visualizations. Uses the OCSP to send results of all active checks to the second server. Secondary server: Receives checks from the primary server. Logs service check results to a MySQL database using NDO. The problem comes when we enable the obsessive/compulsive options on the primary. If we enable both the obsess_over_services and obsess_over_hosts options, it takes it very literally: that's ALL Nagios does. All active checks stop, and Nagios spends all of its time running the ocsp service and host commands. If we enable only the obsess_over_services option, active checks DO get performed, but the scheduling queue and check latency starts to grow; with the active checks falling farther and farther behind. The primary Nagios server is a relatively powerful system, with 12 cores and 64 GB of RAM. The load average, even when it's only running the ocsp commands, never rises above about 20 or 21, so it doesn't seem like the server is being overwhelmed.

When I run a pre-flight check, I get this: Warning: Service 'service' on host 'host' has a notification interval less than its check interval!

Re: [Nagios-users] Create services dynamically for a specific host
no. you have to define the services before Nagios can display them, otherwise Nagios won't know where the passive checks it received should go, this is the rule. but maybe you can do a trick: while a passive check occurs, create a config file dynamically for the subject service, restart Nagios to read the new config file, then issue an external command to set the status of the service. just an idea, no detail now.

Re: [Nagios-users] Which GUI to configure Nagios 3 ?

Re: [Nagios-users] Calculation of nagios latency in nagiostas
because at any moment in physical, not all checks will be performed, therefore Nagios only knows the previous average latency and the latency of services which have just finished. Nagios won't keep the latency of checks in somewhere so it has to calculate the present average latency right after each check while it has the newest latency of that check in hand. you can see the formula that while the total latency is restored, the number of checks will be decreased by 1, that means the latency of the check just finished will be added to calculate new average latency. this method can make sure the average latency is dynamical and real time.

Re: [Nagios-users] High Latency with service checks
another possibility, do you use addon to do task after every checking? for example, update RRD files for performance graphing, sometimes that should increase the checking latency. 2011/2/16 Yu Watanabe yu.watan...@jp.fujitsu.com: Thank you very much for the reply.

Would there be a parameter in Nagios to control this? For flooding I will check the netstat -s periodically and see if there are too much. I've encountered a similar issue with a a setup I had ( granted the latency wasn't that extreme ) , and from what you describe the symptoms sound the same . We tried several solutions (DNX , Mod_gearman) to reduce the latency , the solution that worked int he end was adding extra RAM to the machine and that solved it - I know that is not the best method , but non of the regular methods of tweaking nagios (large install , ramfs etc` ) worked , the boost in ram reduced the latency from 6+ minutes to 3 sec. As long as I see the vmstat , there seems to be enough memories left for buffer and cache since there aren't any swaping.

Re: [Nagios-users] avoid notifications after status change from unreachable to down

It turns out that there are a lot of pages that use that letter and not all of them are about the statistics tool Anyway. Right now, the service is written and does not come up, probably because something is missing. After all, what host does one attach it to?

I will be finishing this and will put it up in the exchange, but if anyone has suggestions, I would be interested in hearing them. One bother is that if a service has its notifications turned off, none of the time markers in the service say when that happened. If a service went down and up 7 days ago and the notifications were turned off 5 days ago, all the times point to the event 7 days ago. I do not see one which references the change 5 days ago.

I was storing this in a file, but I am going to use the output line from this service.

Re: [Nagios-users] first_notification_delay problem
no bug in your case.
first_notification_delay is just to postpone the notification for a
(hard)status change, Nagios won't check the status during the delay
period.
in your example, a notification will be sent at 09-02-2011 07:17:41 to
reflect the critical event at 09-02-2011 07:07:41, no matter what
happened then.

Hi,
I'm having a problem with using first_notification_delay. I'm not
sure if it's a bug or just that I don't understand how it's supposed

I have this passive service check to receive traps from a UPS:

notes If you need to reset status of this check back to OK,
submit a passive service check.

}
I want Nagios only to send a notification if the service is in a
non-ok state for more than ten minutes. In practice I find it sends a
notification regardless:
ups-a SNMP-Trap CRITICAL 09-02-2011 07:07:41
notify-Facilities_HQ
notify-service-by-email upsOnBattery UPS: Switched to battery
backup
power.
ups-a SNMP-Trap OK 09-02-2011 07:07:41 notify-Facilities_HQ
notify-service-by-email powerRestored UPS: Returned from
battery
backup power.
Is this a bug? I tried looking in Nagios tracker (
http://tracker.nagios.org ) but couldn't find anything (then again I
rarely look there so might have done the search wrong). Is Nagios
Tracker the right place to look for issues like this?
Cheers,
Jim

Re: [Nagios-users] Uptime Calculation Question
nothing will be known without checking. you want more precise data you have to do more checks, that is, decrease the check_interval value. On Fri, Feb 11, 2011 at 5:37 AM, Breandan Dezendorf brean...@dezendorf.com wrote: Does anyone have a good guide to the impact the check_interval setting has on calculating uptime and availability data from Nagios logs? For example, if your check_interval is set to 10 minutes, a service could be down for 9 minutes and never register in Nagios. However, your availability numbers at that point couldn't be any more precise than 99.99% (as the cutoff for five nines is 5.26 service outage minutes a year). While unlikely, six such outages would push you into 99.9% - and an SLA report that generated from Nagios log files would still report 100%. If the value for check_interval is set to 30 minutes, the problem is amplified - Nagios is more likely to miss events, which makes me even less comfortable with the resulting statistics. Are there SLA packages for Nagios that account for this, or does Nagios's in-built reporting engine account for this in some way? Or, is there a statistician amongst us who can make me understand that I'm just being overly paranoid, and show me that the math actually works out? -- Breandan Dezendorf brean...@dezendorf.com bwdez...@gmail.com -- The ultimate all-in-one performance toolkit: Intel(R) Parallel Studio XE: Pinpoint memory and threading errors before they happen.

Re: [Nagios-users] Understanding Unhandled Services / Hosts
because the host is down, it assumes all its service are also unavailable. therefore the first priority task is to handle the problem of the host. so what i guess is just for simplifying display, only the host which is down appears in Unhandled section.

Re: [Nagios-users] Unique Email Notification for Service Escalation??

I defined my serviceescalation and the contact group and verified after the

notification of the alert.
What I want to do, is send a unique email message if its an escalation.
In commands.cfg I added the following :

define command{
command_name service-escalation-by-email
command_line /usr/bin/printf %b * Nagios Service

HIS IS A SERVICE ESCALATION. YOU ARE BEING NOTIFIED BECAUSE THE ALERT HAS
NOT BEEN ADDRESSED YET. | /usr/bin/mail -s ** $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ Service
Alert Escalation: $HOSTALIAS$/$SERVICEDESC$ is $SERVICESTATE$ **
$CONTACTEMAIL$
}
Now, I see in the contact definition, there is service_notification_commands
where I assume I could define the server-escalation-by-email and get the new
email sent to the contact, but that option is not shown in the contact group
definition. Can I just add the service_notification_command directive in
the group definition??

[Nagios-users] Rule-Based Notifier
Hi all, I have a new work here: http://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Addons/Notifications/*-Notification-Managers/Rule%252DBased-Notifier/details This simple Perl script is a rule-based notification addon for Nagios. Nagios has its own notification logic which decides whether a notification for an alert should be sent. If this script is defined as the notification commands, further conditions can be defined by admins to control whether a notification should be actually sent. By using this script, Nagios admins can decide: WHO should(or not) be notified, notification for WHICH hosts/services should(or not) be controlled, on WHAT states should(or not) be concerned, at WHEN a notification should(or not) be sent, and HOW to send a notification. All these features are implemented by defining some rules which will be matched by this script while Nagios hand off a notification to it. Rules are defined in a plain text config file(see below), no database is needed. At first I wrote this script just for myself(as an Nagios admin) to fulfill different needs from different Nagios contacts: someone want to be notified on some specific situations, while another contacts don't want be annoyed on some conditions, etc. This script has been tested and used for several monthes in the system administered by me, it should be workable and now is released to share with anyone who need it. Perhaps many functions this script provided could be achievable by complex Nagios configuration, it is here for another, simpler I think, choice. Any suggestion and feedback are greatly welcome. Thanks. Y.H. -- Gaining the trust of online customers is vital for the success of any company that requires sensitive data to be transmitted over the Web.

Re: [Nagios-users] Difference between the timeout service and orphaned service
i think Nagios handles a check by the following flow: [1]schedule a check (into event queue) [2]time to go! fire the check (remove it from the queue) [3]wait for a result [4a] check finished normally (got a result) [4b] timeout (terminate the check process) [5]go to [1] (reschedule) an orphaned check could happen while Nagios in [3] but never proceed to next step. it can't reach [4a] because the checking process is dead. (killed by someone) it can't reach [4b] because it has nothing to terminate. (process is gone, Nagios loses its control) finally, Nagios never go to [5], i.e. it won't reschedule and execute the check again. so, the answer to your question is yes. 2011/1/5 Yu Watanabe yu.watan...@jp.fujitsu.com: Thank you for the reply. Could I ask you a further question? In the manual the orphaned services are defined as This option allows you to enable or disable checks for orphaned service checks. Orphaned service checks are checks which ahve been executed and have been removed from the event queue, but have not had any results reported in a long time. Since no results have come back in for the service, it is not rescheduled in the event queue. This can cause service checks to stop being executed. Normally it is very rare for this to happen - it might happen if an external user or process killed off the process that was being used to execute a service check. To be more specific, is this a kind of status that in the memory , nagios is acknowledging that this service is still checking but actually the plugin did not return anything although the process is already dead?

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios notification
send notification once when state changes, set: notification_interval=0 On Thu, Dec 30, 2010 at 6:36 PM, Hugo van der Kooij hvdko...@vanderkooij.org wrote: On Thu, 30 Dec 2010 01:58:38 -0800 (PST), moses neah mssn...@yahoo.com wrote: Hi All out there, Can anybody help me? I want to achieve the following: Nagios should send notification when a host/service state goes critical, down, etc Notification should be sent only once when a state changes and finally I want to know how many ping packets is ideal for nagios to send First off. Do NOT ever respond this way. You are sending a load of crap to the mailinglist which is totally not relevant to your message. Considere yourself in read-only mode if you are subscribed in digest mode. Set the notification interval to a significant high number and you would get it once for all intends and purposes. The defaults should be good enough for you. We can't determine those for you. Use your own common sense to see what fits your needs.

Re: [Nagios-users] Service Escalation via Host Group
not sure with the cause of your problem
maybe you can check the values of use_regexp_matching and
use_true_regexp_matching.
but by your configuration, all services will be escalated, not only
services of norm-notify.

Hi,
I would like to have host and service escalations for all hosts that
are in a certain host group. The following hostescalation definition
seems to work fine:
define hostescalation {
hostgroup_name norm-notify
contact_groups admins-mail
first_notification 1
last_notification 0
notification_interval 120
escalation_options d,u,r
escalation_period 24x7
}
define hostescalation {
hostgroup_name norm-notify
contact_groups admins-sms
first_notification 2
last_notification 0
notification_interval 120
escalation_options d,u,r
escalation_period 24x7
}
The analogous service escalation definition is ignored:
define serviceescalation {
host_name *
service_description *
hostgroup_name norm-notify
contact_groups admins-mail
first_notification 1
last_notification 0
notification_interval 120
escalation_options w,u,c,r
escalation_period 24x7
}
define serviceescalation {
host_name *
service_description *
hostgroup_name norm-notify
contact_groups admins-sms
first_notification 2
last_notification 0
notification_interval 120
escalation_options w,u,c,r
escalation_period 24x7
}
When a service on a host which is member of host group norm-notify
goes down, notifications go out to the contact group that is mentioned
in the service definition. The service escalation definition seems to
be ignored.
Any idea what might be going wrong?
Greetings
Marc
