If you dont want to open up ping on the firewalls you could ether have a
dummy hosts check (a check that just returns 0) or have nrpe as the hosts
check (eg a check that just checks if nrpe is responding, again an nrpe
check that just returns 0 )
client nrpe command like this
command[check_nrpe_alive]=/patch/script/that/returns.0.sh
Nagios command:
define command{
command_namecheck_nrpe_alive
command_line$USER1$/check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C
check_nrpe_alive
}
define host{
namebehind_firewall
use generic-host
hostgroups +behind_firewall
register0

then a use clause in your host config of behind_firewall

In templates I see the initial check_command pointing to
'check-host-alive'. If I comment that out for the boxes behind the FW
how will nagios react? Or must I replace it with as you suggest a 'dummy
check'?
All my monitoring is off-site. I monitor my clients firewalls, servers,
workstations, and some routers if they have static ip. I only need
'check-host-alive' for the routers and firewalls, nothing else.
From:
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/objectdefinitions.html#host
check_command: ...If you leave this argument blank, the host will not be
actively checked
you normally have to fiddle a little with submitting a passive check to
make it go green
you might as well use the nrpe check as your hosts check_command in stead
of disableing it
it will help with service dependancys so if you loose nrpe assess to your
hosts only the host will alert instead each of its services...
Can you give me an example of a dummy check?
#!/bin/bash
echo dummy OK
return 0 ;

[Nagios-users] service / host contact_groups Additive Inheritance
Hi All,
I have a questions about Additive Inheritance
I have a service that inherits is contact_groups from its host, for this
one service I wants to add an additional contact_group(s) but i seem to be
having an issue with my understanding of Additive Inheritance
an example of the config is
define host {
...
usegeneric-host
}
define service {
...
contact_groups +extra_group
}
so without adding the contact_groups to the service, its contacts are
'contact_group1' and 'contact_group2'
When adding the contact_groups to the service (with or without the +), its
contact groups are are just 'extra_group'
if there is a 'contacts' defined for the host the services:
When adding the contact_groups to the service (with or without the +), contacts
end up being 'contact1', 'extra_group'
Should the + or Additive Inheritance not make the service have
'contact_group1'
, 'contact_group2' and 'extra_group'?

I have confirmed the hostname of the SQL server, as well as username and
password to access the database. The syntax for the username
was either username or domainname\username during the testing. The port
of the server is the default port which, if I am not mistaken,
is port 1433.
I have tried several sql modes with the same error message appearing each
time. Can someone lend a hand here?
Sorry if you have done this already...
I would suggest some basics first, eg from the nagios server can you
do things such as:
# dig fully qualified domain name #to check the
nagios server can do the dns lookup
# ping fully qualified domain name # to check that routing works
# telnet fully qualified domain name 1433 # to check that
firewall / routing work.
If that is all ok, maybe try quoting the username / pw

Re: [Nagios-users] Hostgroup Members
On Fri, Sep 23, 2011 at 4:51 PM, Brandon Phelps bphe...@gls.com wrote:
Hello,
We are using a fairly old version of Nagios (1.4.1) which has been running
great for years and is in production on 100+ servers so we are a bit hesitant
to update. If it ain't broke don't fix it, right? Anyway, one minor problem
is the fact that in the nagios configuration, the members directive for a
hostgroup can only support a certain number of entries, due to the fact that
the members directive takes a comma delimited list of members and that list,
it seems, can only be a maximum of 2000ish (I think, I don't recall off hand)
characters. Like:
hostgroup {
...
members = Member1,Member2,Member3,...,Member200, Member201, Member202
}
My question is, do newer version of nagios remove this limitation? It isn't
really a huge deal since we can simply create additional hostgroups when we
reach the limit on one, however if this is fixed in a newer version then
that, for us, would be a good reason to upgrade.
In the new (3.x) version we negate this by using wildcard / regex matching
members = Member.*
if some hosts matching the patten should not be in the group you can
do !member8
members = member.*,!member8
there is a lot about this in the Nagios admin guide.

Re: [Nagios-users] Clearing previous flapping states?

I'm picking no - based on my understanding of the documentation but thought I would ask. The scenario is we have a number of check software updates that run and as such we schedule these daily. There is a scenario within the flapping period where there are and aren't updates some of the future warning or critical warnings get suppressed. The simple answer that springs to mind for me is to disable flapping for things that are scheduled over x number of hours. How are other people dealing with such things? You're right - there is no command you can pass to Nagios to clear the previous flapping state. You could try disabling flap detection and then enabling it again, but my guess is that Nagios will immediately re-assess the flapping state based on the last 21 checks as soon as you re-enable flap detection and you'll be back where you started. If your checks are only run daily, then I would say almost certainly flap detection is of no benefit to you and should be disabled for those services. If Nagios is basing it's assessment of whether the service is flapping on the last 21 checks as described in the documentation ( http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/nagioscore/3/en/flapping.html ), then since your checks are daily, it could be a couple of weeks sometimes before Nagios decides that flapping has stopped! IMHO, flap detection is only usually useful for those services which are checked quite frequently. Yup we do the same thing, eg have flap detection disabled in the service template for long interval checks. The only way I know to clear the flapping status, is to cheat and manually schedule the check a load of times (or submit passive checks ;) -- Ritchie -- All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.

[Nagios-users] over writing services from templates
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
register0
}
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] Notification by Email
Sorry for top posting...
What command are you using for the notification? / How are you sending
these mails?
We originally used a simple one like this...
which just 'echos' text in to the mail command
=
# 'notify-by-email' command definition
define command{
command_namecustomer-notify-by-email
command_line/bin/echo To: $CONTACTEMAIL$\n\
Subject: $SERVICESTATE$ alert for $HOSTNAME$/$SERVICEDESC$\n\
\n\
\n\
application=\Nagios\\n\
node=\$HOSTNAME$\\n\
type=\$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\\n\
service=\$SERVICEDESC$\\n\
criticality=\$_SERVICECRITICALITY$\\n\
service status=\$SERVICESTATE$\ (for $SERVICEDURATION$) last time
it was \$LASTSERVICESTATE$\\n\
message=\$SHORTDATETIME$ - $SERVICEDESC$ on $HOSTNAME$
$SERVICESTATE$ - $SERVICEOUTPUT$ - $TOTALSERVICESCRITICAL$ services

msg=\$LONGSERVICEOUTPUT$\\n\
checked using=\$SERVICECHECKCOMMAND$\\n\
| /usr/bin/mail $CONTACTEMAIL$
}
=
Then went for a neater solution that work work across our different platforms
this sends the arguments from nagios in to a wrapper scrip for mail...
=

Re: [Nagios-users] Monitoring temperatures on Cisco equipment

I've looked at the check_catalyst_temp.pl and check_env_stats.py plugins, which both look in .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.13.1. I see and understand the basic mechanisms of these checks. What I don't understand is why both require warning and critical thresholds. From what I can tell, both walk ciscoEnvMonTemperatureStatusDescr, check ciscoEnvMonTemperatureState (and alert accordingly) AND also check ciscoEnvMonTemperatureStatusValue to see if it's out of the warning and critical thresholds specified on the command line. I understand why one would want to be able to set custom thresholds (that would override normal and warning states). What I don't understand is why are they required? Is there a reason, or is it just an oversight? I don't have much experience monitoring network equipment, so I'm wondering if there's a reason for it. On that same note, does anyone know where those thresholds are stored? I see in the same OID that there is ciscoEnvMonTemperatureThreshold, but that's an absolute upper bound before a forced shutdown occurs. I'm assuming that the thresholds for warning and critical ciscoEnvMonTemperatureState must be stored somewhere else. Does anyone know where that is? Unless there's a good reason for requiring -w and -c, I'll probably change one of the plugins to not require them. Thanks in advance, Jeffrey. I maybe misunderstanding you here but isn’t the whole point of running Nagios checks to return Normal, Warning or Critical, so you can alert agents them?

That parses ok but I end up with nothing in the group when I look at the

If I use individual members it works and they appear in the nagios display.

I just upgrade to the latest version as I was having issues with wildcards

Hi all -
Got a mystery regarding the use of regex matching that I hope someone on the
listserv might clear. We have the appropriate config options to use regex,
and
it works just fine for the members directive - ie. members .* expands
just
as we'd expect.
But hostgroup_members .* returns an error along the lines of Could not
find member group '.*' specified in hostgroup, leading us to believe
that Nagios is simply ignoring regex matching for the hostgroup_members
directive.
Anyone know if we're off our rockers, or if Nagios really does handle things
this way?
Thanks,
Erik Larkin

Hello,
I have a medium-sized installation (10,000) services) in a manged
services/data center environment. I am curious how others in these
types of multi-tenant environments organize their configuration files.
There are multiple things to consider:
- templates
- cfg_dirs
- grouping
I am considering cfg_dirs in this fashion:
/etc/nagios/objects/hosts/customer.cfg
/etc/nagios/objects/services/customer/host.cfg
I am considering templates in this fashion:
/etc/nagios/objects/services/templates/sql.cfg (will contain
microsoft sql type services)
This template will look like this:
define service{
use standard-server
hostgroup_name sql
service_description microsoft sql server service
check_command check_nrpe_win_service_mssql
}
Then I can just add hosts to the sql hostgroup to give them this service.
What am I missing? What do others do that might make my life easier?
Sounds a lot like what I use... I also use host-templates for example:
define host{
use solaris,dns,an-other-app
address...
}
the solaris host-template applies standard checks like disk, cpu, SMF.
the solaris-10-global template applies checks such as zone-checks
the same can be applies to a windows / rhel template
our rhel and solaris templates actually use basic *nix templates too.
this was each hosts config is kept to a minimum. also keeping each host in
its own .cfg file helps eg .../customer1/server-name1.cfg then any host
specific checks (eg url checks) can be added to that one config file too.

Yes checks = services

service_description cpu
check_command check_nrpe_win_cpu!80!90
}
define service{
use server-servicehours

check_command check_nrpe_win_memory_page!90%!95%
}
define service{
use server
hostgroup_name windows
service_description uptime
servicegroups uptime
check_command check_nrpe_win_uptime!1h
retry_check_interval70
}
So, all hosts in the windows host_group will get the uptime,cpu, and
commit charge services.
Thats right, linking the services to hostgroups
and just using a host-template to add the host to a host_group
eg, using the above example a (simplified) host-template would look like
define host{
name windows
hostgroup+windows
register 0
}
I actually then 'use' another host-template in the above, to set default
options such as check_command.

Re: [Nagios-users] Sending a txt message as acknowledgement for event
Patrick ~ I just set this up myself, so I'll share some of the details on how I got it working. First off you'll need a way for the email's to reach the nagios inbox. In our example I setup fetchmail on our CentOS box to check Exchange every 15 seconds for mail using POP3. once you have that configured and mail is going into the inbox on your linux machine for the nagios account, you'll need to configure procmail. Now if your on a redhat system (or flavor) procmail is setup by default. (Otherwise you may need to install/configure) So you'll need to setup a .procmailrc file in the nagios users home directory (or place a procmailrc file in /etc). Procmail should be setup to kick off a script (that you'll need to write) to process the incoming mail and if a problem is acknowledged, place an acknowledgment in the nagios.cmd file. Like I said, the first process in fixing this puzzle is getting mail to the nagios server from an SMS device. Once there it should be pretty straight forward. Let me know if this makes sense.

The short answer is, yes. The long answer is, it depends on how you sent the SMS in the first place. If you are using some cheapy internet-based solution, then I doubt they have any return path feature. If you are sending via GSM modems, then yes. We do this now and have been for 2 years. If you have a direct link into a carriers' SMSC, then it will depend on their solution. We are looking to move this way in the near future, and our carrier has a return path solution. The guts of the solution is just code that parses the SMS back and hands it off to Nagios using the external command features. In our case, we reply/forward the entire SMS as-is back to sending device, which can easily parse the SMS given we know the exact format it left in anyhow. Plus, the same system handles other inbound and outbound SMSs with ease. - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

Re: [Nagios-users] Using SSH to run remote command checks
I wanted to update this problem as it appears to have never been resolved.
The current version of check_by_ssh still returns an UKNOWN status in
nagios. I have ran the command manually from the command line and echoed $?,
and while it does return 0, nagios is putting in an UNKNOWN status. Not only
that but the status appears to be flapping.
The Critical and Warning status appear to work every time, but when an OK
status is returned from one of the check programs (check_load, check_disk,
check_process), check_by_ssh returns an UNKNOWN almost 80% of the time.
I've followed up with three different people on this list who have reported
the problem, and all of them just decided to move to NRPE.
Has anyone gotten this plugin to work? I am assuming this is a code problem
with check_by_ssh
