Re: [Nagios-users] Is it possible to recieve a single global notification for all checks?
I've built a few checks that monitor say 5 partitions or ping 5 ip addresses and will report back if one or more are down. results line says 1 is ok, 2 is ok, 3 is down,,, etc. Is that what you are looking for? I could send the check to you on Tues when I am back in work Date: Sat, 31 Aug 2013 14:17:19 -0600 From: aflex...@gmail.com To: nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Nagios-users] Is it possible to recieve a single global notification for all checks? Hello Nginx, I have a single host, and dozens of services of the same type (http check) monitored. When a service goes down it is normal for others to report CRITICAL at the same time. Intead of generating a notification for each independant service can I have a SINGLE email consolidate the report on whats on CRITICAL? Perhaps using a global handler, however how would this work with the part of one email per minute if my understanding is that the global event handler runs independtly for each service?

[Nagios-users] Question on adding additional user to Web cgi
Hello All, Think I am missing something obvious here. Running core 3.2 and an trying to add a user to the web console. I only want this user to have rights to the hosts that he is a contact for. I have a host group called broadband which has no services associated with it . I am only using the host ping to the ip of the broadband interface to check if my remote broadbands are up running. I have a contact set up for this hostgroup which gets an email if a broadband interface goes down. I wanted to give the contact access to the nagios web console for this host group only to be able to acknowledge alerts. I added a new user via htpasswd and have use-authentication=1 in the cgi.cfg file. The user can log into the web console but sees all hosts and can run commands on other hosts outside of the broadband hostgroup Looks like everything in the cgi.cfg file is ok, the contact is not listed anywhere under any of the authorized_for_ access. What did I miss ?? From what I read, Authenticated contacts* are granted the following permissions for each host for which they are contacts (but not for hosts for which they are not contacts)... If the contact broadband is not a contact for anything but the hostgroup store_broadband, why can he get into other hosts and put them in scheduled down time let alone see them?

You could probably set up a time period object with a series of exclusion dates. Have the check(s) run every day except the days you dont want to run.

[Nagios-users] Questions on snmp checks
Good Morning All, 1st off, please don't laugh at me, we do EVERYTHING the hard way here. I am in need to check 600 + remote Cisco routers for their primary port secondary port. I am running Nagios Core in a distributed environment, 600 + locations. Each location running a Nagios dist server for 12 local clients. All clients and servers are running SuSE Linux I do not have snmp running on the remote distributed server , SNMP is running on the central server and its running on the remote clients. Here's where the fun starts : 1. I assume I can't run an snmp check to the snmp enabled router from the distributed Nagios server since the server does not have snmp installed ( BTW, NOT an Option ) 2. Could I run a check from the distributed server to one of the clients ( who has snmp installed ) to the router ? ( I know, Rube Goldberg ) 3. If I run the check from my central server out to the 600 Cisco routers, how manageable would that be? Any other thoughts on how I could monitor 2 separate ports on these routers? The primary reason for the check is the secondary port is Broadband we run some security camera stuff thru that port only. I need to know when the broadband connection goes down for obvious reasons. Have not tried any of my solutions as there is some configuration needed for the routers to talk to someone via snmp. Didn't want my Comm guys to do any config work if this idea wouldn't work.

From the command line as the Nagios user, I ran the following exactly as is with the addition of a $CONTACTEMAIL$: /usr/bin/printf %b * Nagios *\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\n\nService: $ SERVICEDESC$\nHost: $HOSTALIAS$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nState: $SERVICESTATE$\n\nDate/Time: $LONGDATETIME$\n\nAddition al Info:\n\n$SERVICEOUTPUT$\n | /usr/bin/mail -s ** $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ Service Alert: $HOSTALIAS$/$SERVICEDESC$ is $S ERVICESTATE$ ** $CONTACTEMAIL$ The result was a prompt. I the ran the same command up to the pipe for/usr/sbin/mail and still got the prompt. Once I added the after the n$SERVICEOUTPUT$\n, it worked. I did run a verify a couple of times (/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg ) during troubleshooting but the verify did not pick up the error.

[Nagios-users] A question on status.cgi and resources
I am working on a pretty large distributed Nagios core deployment and have a question regarding resources. It appears that almost every morning @ about 7:20 am, my cpu usage goes from about 4% to about 25-40% . It will do this for a few hours and then go back to 4%. It appears to me that the issue is with wwwrun running status.cgi. I was wondering what would be going on during the morning at about the same time every day as opposed to 24hrs / day. I was looking for some kind of maintenance it could be doing or something but am not finding anything. I know there are no consoles open, 99.5 % of the checks the core server is processing are remote checks. I know my environment will require multiple core servers ( 700 remote sites, 15 clients / site , 20 +/- checks per client ) but have been working all along to tune the servers for the best efficiency. Are there any tuning parameters for status.cgi?? Thanks, Steve -- All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable. Why?

normal in a few weeks.
Is it possible to acknowledge all 100 at once? I do have a service group
associated with this check but dont see that it can be ack'ed all at once. Is
it possible to edit the status.dat file with a reference to a host group
instead of a host name to accomplish this? :

Subject: [Nagios-users] Mass Acknowledge a Service
I have a check that checks the size of multiple partitions and we recently
added some data that surpassed the threshold value and I have over
100 clients alerting. There is nothing I can do about the space issue, it
will go back to normal in a few weeks.
Is it possible to acknowledge all 100 at once? I do have a service group
associated with this check but dont see that it can be ack'ed all at once. Is
it possible to edit the status.dat file with a reference to a host group
instead of a host name to accomplish
this? :
servicecomment {
host_name=str
host_group = GROUPNAME HERE

[Nagios-users] A Question on wwwrun account httpd2-forks
I am just starting to deploy my production nagios core environment and have a question on wwwrun nagios. I have a distributed environment, 12 remote sites ( so far) each with 6-10 local hosts , one of which is the nagios distributed server. On my Nagios core server, I am looking at resources to see what the server is doing so I can plan out how many servers I ultimately need. I notice that I have 11 httpd2-fork processes running constantly, each using .3% of memory. Is the httpd2-prefork running only to allow external commands to be run from the web interface? Since I am running in a distributed environment, and all my checks are passive, do I need this to be running and or part of the nagcmd group? If I were to go into the web interface console to put a service or host into scheduled downtime for example, aren't I making that change on the core server ?

[Nagios-users] A question on using a wildcard in a hostgroup.cfg file
I am trying to simplify my admin work for a large deployment we are doing right
now of Nagios 3.2 Core in a SuSE Linux environment
I have multiple hostgroups set up and wanted to use a wildcard in the member
name since all of the devices that will be in a hostgroup are named the same
except for the actual location part of the name.
If I have each remote server listed explicitly ion the hostgroup file uder
members, everything is fine.
I turned on use_true_regexp_matching and use_regexp_matching and added this to
my hostgroup.cfg file:
define hostgroup{
hostgroup_name Remote_servers
alias Remote Servers
members *sa
}
I then did a verify of the nagios config it replied with this:
Error: Could not find any host matching '*sa' (config file
'/usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/hostgroups.cfg', starting on line 47)
Error: Could not expand members specified in hostgroup (config file
'/usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/hostgroups.cfg', starting on line 47)
I tried multiple variations with wildcards both ? and * to no avail.
If I STARTED the members list with the 1st couple of letters of the name of the
hosts or just put only a* there, it works.
Can anyone explain why I cant do this
str*sa or strsa or *sa but I can do str* or *
All of the hosts are named as such :
strsa - were is a 4 digit number for the server location

[Nagios-users] Question on encryption for send_nsca
I have a small test Nagios 3.2 environment on a Suse platform ( 11 10 boxes )and was wondering about the encryption methods used. I am working fine with no encryption configured on host or central server. I am getting all of the checks on the console. Once I set it to any value other than 0 on both the server host, I no longer get anything on the central server. I've tried using the simple XOR and 3DES DES If I send a test job from the command line as per the instructions, with no encryption set ( not even simple XOR ) I see the reply in the nagios.log file on the Nagios server. If I set the encryption on both send the test job again,( restarting nagios on both) it says 1 packet was sent successfully but nothing shows up on the central server. I am still learning my way thru Suse Nagios so not sure if the encryption process is part of the send_nsca or Suse. I don't know what encryption is installed on the suse boxes or even how to check. Is there a way to test or check what encryption(s) are installed on the boxes? Since this is ultimately a totally private network, can I use the value of 0 for no encryption ? I know the cfg file explicitly says its not recommended Sorry for the stupid questions, but Nagios will do alot for my environment if I can get it squared away.

Re: [Nagios-users] ServiceGroup Best Practices Question
hello David,
Not saying its the best way but I have a separate file in my objects dir called
servicegroup.cfg where I set up as follows :
define servicegroup{
servicegroup_name Legacy Checks
alias Store Legacy Checks
}
then in my services.cfg file, I have a line added as follows :
define service{
use generic-service
servicegroups Legacy Checks
I have multiple checks that I wanted to group together under a single service
group heading. This is the only (?) way I found to do it. You can add the
members ( hosts) to the servicegroup file and the checks but I found this way
to be easier.
if you create a separate file, dont forget to be sure its identified in your
nagios .cfg file.
If anyone has a better way to do this, would love to hear about it. This way
does work for my config your mileage may vary.
Good Luck,
Steve

Subject: [Nagios-users] ServiceGroup Best Practices Question
I’m new to Nagios. Running Nagios 3.2.3. I want to start using Service Groups,
but I’m not sure of the best place to put the service group definitions. What
is making me question the location is eventually I will want to create a
service group that contains services hosted on both Linux and Windows machines,
so I’m thinking of creating a new config file to hold the service groups, then
in nagios.cfg use cfg_file= to load it in after the Windows and Linux machines
are loaded. Where do you create service groups?

Re: [Nagios-users] Question on setting up a specialized status.cgi page
I stumbled upon the answer to my issue for a custom status page.
What I was doing wrong was I created in the servicegroups.cfg file with a line
called members
members HOSTNAME1,check_1, check_2,
check_3,check_4,check_5,HOSTNAME2, SAME 5 CHECKS AS HOST #1,HOSTNAME3,SAME
This method did not work. I wound up removing the members line from the
servicegroups.cfg file, just leaving the service group name the alias in the
file and added the service group name to each define service for the 5
legacy_checks as follows :
define service{
use generic-service
servicegroups Legacy Checks
hostgroup_name APP_servers
contact_groups admins,legacy
notification_optionsw,c
active_checks_enabled 0
service_description Legacy CPU Load
check_command check_legacy_cpu
}
This allowed me to get the service group for all different legacy checks I
wanted. Then If I run the following url
http://NAGIOS_SERVER/nagios/cgi-bin/status.cgi?servicegroup=Legacy+Checksservicestatustypes=16
I get the list of all legacy checks for all hosts and the critical ones only.
Hopefully someone else can benefit from this info.

Steve

[Nagios-users] Question on setting up a specialized status.cgi page
Hello All, I have say 20 hosts that among their checks they each run the same 5 checks on a SCO Unix machine at their location via an rsh script. For example, I rsh to the sco box, do a sar on it and report the results back and determine if the cpu on the sco box is high. These check reports as a check from the host and is called Legacy CPU. I wanted to set up a status.cgi page that the people responsible for the legacy stuff could look at and see the status of all 5 Legacy_XXX checks on one status page. I have not been able to figure out how to get this page to display. I have tried setting up a servicegroup, manually playing with the statustypes, looking into doing it via extinfo.cgi and have come up empty handed. These hosts have a bunch of checks coming back from them into the console but I wanted to just have some sort of Legacy Check Service group screen. I think I am missing something easy here and may be trying to over engineer this Thanks, Steve -- The ultimate all-in-one performance toolkit: Intel(R) Parallel Studio XE: Pinpoint memory and threading errors before they happen.

Re: [Nagios-users] Manage notifications
You could do it for individual contacts then put those contacts into a
contact group
define contact{
service_notification_options[w,u,c,r,f,s,n]
service_notification_options:
This directive is used to define the service states for which
notifications can be sent out to this contact. Valid options are a
combination of one or more of the following: w = notify on WARNING service
states, u = notify on UNKNOWN service states, c = notify on CRITICAL service
states, r = notify on service recoveries (OK states), and f = notify when the
service starts and stops flapping. If you specify n (none) as an option, the
contact will not receive any type of service notifications.

Re: [Nagios-users] CRITICAL - Socket timeout after 10 seconds
Most plugins time out after 10 seconds of not being able to contact a service (FTP, HTTP, etc). If the plugins are timing out after a short period of time, increase the timeout value for the plugin using the appropriate command line argument for that plugin. Try using a -t 12. I think that only the plugin timeout default value is 10 seconds, the other timeouts are higher. Someone else smarter than me can verify that. Is this check_http failing every time now or only occasionally ? Try running the check to a different site and see if those fail as well. Is the server possibly busy at the same time??

[Nagios-users] Unique Email Notification for Service Escalation??
Is it possible to create a unique email notification for a serviceescalation ?
I defined my serviceescalation and the contact group and verified after the set
number of first_notification, my escalation group got the email 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 :
# 'service-escalation-by-email' command definition
define command{
command_nameservice-escalation-by-email
command_line/usr/bin/printf %b * Nagios Service Escalation
*\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ Escalation\n\nService: $
SERVICEDESC$\nHost: $HOSTALIAS$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nState:
$SERVICESTATE$\n\nDate/Time: $LONGDATETIME$\n\nAdditional
Info:\n\n$SERVICEOUTPUT$\nT
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??
Thanks,
Steve

I would say this is a feasible and realistic thing to do, yes. But .. I don't know how you operate your distributed Nagios setup. So long as only one of your Nagios servers is used for the web front-end this should be easy.

Mark, I think Salvatore means run the check manually from the command line , make sure you run it as the nagios user and try setting tha warning critical values to something that will make it fail also: /usr/local/nagios/libexec ./check_disk -w 50 -c 70 -p /home DISK OK - free space: /home 440 MB (95% inode=99%);| /home=20MB;436;416;0;486 The -p just checks a specific path.

[Nagios-users] Question on setting up my own check
Hello All,
I have the following script created to check free space on a remote legacy box
via rsh.
used=`sudo rsh $1 df -v |grep starlite6 | head -1 | awk '{print $4}'`
free=`sudo rsh $1 df -v |grep starlite6 | head -1 | awk '{print $5}'`
full=`echo $(($used+$free))`
percent=`echo $((( $free * 100 ) / $full))`
warn=`echo $((( $full * $2 ) / 100 ))`
crit=`echo $((( $full * $3 ) / 100 ))`
if [ $warn -gt $crit -o $warn -eq $crit ]; then
echo Unknown: [crit] must be larger than [warn]
exit 3
fi
if [ $used -lt $warn -o $used -eq $warn ]; then
echo OK. Free Space: `sudo rsh $1 df -v |grep starlite6 |head -1 | awk
'{print $5}'`B, $percent%
exit 0
elif [ $used -gt $warn -a $used -lt $crit ]; then
echo Warning. Free Space: `sudo rsh $1 df -v |grep starlite6 | head -1 |
awk '{print $5}'`B, $percent%
exit 1
elif [ $used -gt $crit ]; then
echo Critical. Free Space: `sudo rsh $1 df -v |grep starlite6 | head -1 |
awk '{print $5}'`B, $percent%
exit 2
else
echo Unknown
exit 3
fi
If I run this from the command line, I get the following response:
/usr/local/nagios/libexec # ./check_starlite_size LEGACYBOX 70 80
Critical. Free Space: 51090B, 2%
if nagios runs the script , I keep getting an unknown result on the central
server ( distributed environment btw)
from nagios.log on central server:
[1287511053] PASSIVE SERVICE CHECK: strsa;Starlite Size;3;Unknown
I assume that the issue is an incorrect format for the send_nsca file but cant
figure out how to set it up correctly. I have the check added on the
distributed server the central server in command.cfg services.cfg and the
check does run so I assume its correct from that aspect, just not an expected
format/info ..
Can anyone tell me what I am missing here ?
Thanks,
Steve

Re: [Nagios-users] Question on setting up my own check
Spent some more time with it now getting a little closer
I added this to my script on the dist server running the check:
CLOCK=`date +%s`
HOST=$1
SVC=Starlite Size
STATUS=$3
OUTPUT=$4
Changed the following lines
exit 0 toSTATUS=0
exit 1 toSTATUS=1
exit 2 toSTATUS=2
exit 3 to STATUS=3
the line(s)
echo OK. Free Space: `sudo rsh $1 df -v |grep starlite6 |head -1 | awk '{print
$5}'`B, $percent%
to
OUTPUT=OK. Free Space: `sudo rsh $1 df -v |grep starlite6 |head -1 | awk
'{print $5}'`B, $percent%
running the script manually gives me :
[1287522364] PROCESS_SERVICE_CHECK_RESULT;str;Starlite Size;2;Critical.
Free Space: 51050B, 2%
Up on the central server, I am still getting unknown but a value of null
Closer I think but still not there.
Does the central server have to have the exact same check script on it or in a
passive check, does the central server only care about the results?
Thanks,
Steve

[Nagios-users] Question on Distributed Setup for hosts hostgroups
I am building a package to send out to 500 locations to set up a distributed Nagios 3.2 environment. I have scripts written that when the nagios package is dropped in a location, the script creates a hosts.cfg a hostgroup.cfg file on the remote distributed server for the hosts he will monitor. I just want to be 100 % sure that if the central server is not doing active checks, does the central server still have to have every remote host listed in its hosts.cfg and the hostgroup.cfg files?

[Nagios-users] Question on Using check_disk for multiple partitions
I have a need to check about 10 server partitions on 1200 servers in a
distributed Nagios environment. Down the road, I would probably use event
handlers to correct known space issues for certain partitions.
My question is is it significantly more efficient to check all of the
partitions in a single check or seperate checks ? All of the servers being
checked are identical in configuration build and all have the same partitions.
If I run this service check :
check_command
check_space!15%!10%!/opt!/tmp!/VMware!/test!/var!/work!/steve!/partition1
With this in commands.cfg :
define command {
command_namecheck_space
command_line$USER1$/check_by_ssh -H $HOSTNAME$ -C /usr/local/nagios
/libexec/check_disk -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$ -p $ARG3$ -p $ARG4$ -p $ARG5$ -p $ARG6$
-p $ARG7$ -p $ARG8$ -q
}
This does work, but I am wondering if I am running the check 1x for each
partition listed or is it running 1x and giving me back all partition info. (
kind of like a df -h )
Also, if I run it like this, is there an easy way to configure event handlers
to run for the specific partition that has alerted? Since a space issue in
/tmp is not due to the same issue that /work fills up.
Thanks,
Steve

Re: [Nagios-users] Host Groups / Definitions
Gonna take a stab at this for you. Newer Nagios guy here as well. Here is a
basic start
You use a hostgroup.cfg file to create a group
i.e
define hostgroup{
hostgroup_name Remote_Hosts
alias Remote Hosts
members list names of all the windows servers here
seperated by commas
}
Now in your service.cfg or command.cfg file, where it says host_name, you
replace the entire host_name line with the following :
# host_name some windows server name
hostgroup_name Remote_Hosts
Make sure your nagios.cfg file shows the path top the hostgroup.cfg file
Verify the config restart/reload nagios.
Now the check you do will run against the hostgroup instead of a rambling list
of hosts.
Hope this helps,
Steve

[Nagios-users] ? on Distributed Server Config
I was hoping to find some more detailed info on setting up nsca for distributed
server config. Anyone know of some documentation besides whats in the Nagios
3.x docs, either on line or book ? I just seem to be missing the connection
between the send_nsca plugin and the actual plugin running on the box I want to
monitor from the central server.
Here is my issue:
I have my central server set up ( call it nagios1), 1 dist server with bare
bones nagios set up running on it ( call it nagiosdist1). I have been able
to send an nsca message to central server by running the following from a
script :
#!/bin/bash
CFG=//usr/local/nagios/etc/send_nsca.cfg
CMD=nagiosdist1;named;3;UNKNOWN - just an NSCA test
/bin/echo $CMD | /usr/local/nagios/bin/send_nsca -H nagios1 -d ';' -c $CFG
So now that I have nsca communication, what I want to be able to do is this
using nsca from nagiosdist1, send check results from a linux pc to the central
server. I have all of the plugins on the linux pc and have successfully run
the following from the command line from the nagiosdist1 server ( before I
configured it as a nsca server)
./check_by_ssh -H IP_OF_LINUX_PC -C '/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_load
-w 5.0 -c 10.0' -q
I assume I should be able to run this with an nsca wrapper get it up to the
central server would t be as simple as this in the services.cfg on the dist
server?
define service {
use generic-service
host_name LINUX_PC
service_description Current Load via ssh
check_command submit_check_result!check_ssh_load!5.0,4.0,3.
0!10.0,6.0,4.0
}
Thanks,
Steve

Re: [Nagios-users] Going Nuts trying to get check_by_ssh to work
Thanks for your help with this. I commented out the sshd.conf section calling for a banner resent the following successfully: /usr/local/nagios/libexec ./check_by_ssh -H 10.X.XXX.XXX -C '/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_load -w 5.0 -c 10.0' OK - load average: 0.12, 0.15, 0.16|load1=0.120;5.000;10.000;0; load5=0.150;5.000;10.000;0; load15=0.160;5.000;10.000;0; Edited the nagios cfg files looks good now. I cannot run my clients without the banner , due to SOX PCI compliance. So, what I was able to do is run the check_by_ssh plugin with the -q option and after putting the banner piece back in, the check works perfect. ./check_by_ssh -H 10.xxx.xxx.xxx -C '/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_load -w 5.0 -c 10.0' -q OK - load average: 0.55, 0.33, 0.22|load1=0.550;5.000;10.000;0; load5=0.330;5.000;10.000;0; load15=0.220;5.000;10.000;0; Again, thanks for your involvement getting this resolved, Rod Benny.

[Nagios-users] Going Nuts trying to get check_by_ssh to work
Hello All,
have been banging my head against the wall trying to get check_by_ssh to work.
No matter what I try to do, I keep getting Remote command execution failed: .
I have verified that I can ssh to the remote pc from the server as both root
the nagios user with no problem or password request so the key gen is fine.
If I run check_ssh -H hostname, I gt back a response so I also know ssh is
running ok on the target machine. Do not see any issues in the logs, as far as
I can tell, it should be working fine. Am I missing something here?
I have tried running the check_by_ssh plugin from the command line with no
success , specifying ports, protocol, user, etc
./check_by_ssh -H pbylinux7 -C '/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_ssh' -2 -4 -p 22
and have created the following check :
services.cfg
define service {
use local-service ; check current
load on machine
hostgroup_name ssh-nagios-services
service_description Current Load
check_command check_ssh_load!5.0,4.0,3.0!10.0,6.0,4.0
}
in command.cfg
# 'check_ssh_load' command definition
define command {
command_namecheck_ssh_load
command_line$USER1$/check_by_ssh -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_load -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$
}
hostgroup has also been added

[Nagios-users] Questions on Distributed / Remote Monitoring
In my environment, I have over 400 remote locations, each with 2 servers 15 linux clients. I have set up a Nagios 3 host server here at corporate running NRPE to monitor the servers at each location. I also want to monitor the 15 linux clients at each location, I wanted to have one of the servers in each remote location check the clients and report to the host Nagios server instead of having all report back. Would each local server have to have nagios core installed to monitor the local clients? And then report back to the main core server ? Can the NRPE running on the local server be used to check the client then report it back to the host server? Could I use a check_by_ssh from the local server to the client and still get the info back to the main Nagios server? Should I run NSCA to get passive checks from the clients to the main server? I assume with nsca, each client would have to still report back, if so, I might as well just use active checks. Could I do a multiple parent-child with the main server being a parent to each remote server each remote server being a parent to all of the local clients? I am looking for the most straightforward least taxing way to the admin ( me ) and the systems/network to do this. Thanks, Steve _ The New Busy is not the too busy.

[Nagios-users] Nagios Postemsg
Hello All, I am currently looking for an alternative to using Tivoli , TEC postemsg for a rather large ( 6000 + ) remote environment. I have had great success with Nagios in my small local/remote test environment and the obvious cost savings without having TEC anymore is huge. Can I use the existing postemsg tests that are running on the boxes and via I guess External Commands have Nagios process the messages? For those familiar with both Tivoli Nagios, Is there anything that Tivoli gives me that I cant do with Nagios? I don't see it if there is.

[Nagios-users] A question on check_http to over 100 sites
I have a need to verify that vendor urls for my company do not change. Since we
only allow our locations to see approved urls, this is important.
I was hoping there was some way I could use a macro to do the check_http and
have all of the urls for the sites listed as the macro contents . Something
like this -
define url{
url_namewww.test.com,www.test2.com,www.test3.com.
check_command check_http
...
}
define command{
command_namecheck_http
command_line/usr/local/nagios/plugins/check_http -L $URL$ -c
$ARG1$ -w $ARG2$
}
Can I create a $URL$ macro for use here? Would doing something like this work?
Is there an easier way for me to have a single host ( localhost) to verify the
list of 100 + urls ?
The plan is to do it 1 time a day send a notification of it fails to get
there.
They can then update the approved list of the new url.
Is it not advisable to use check_http in this manner? I am using it to
watch a corporate now
it has been reliable.
Thanks,
Steve

The problem with that service was then resolved by getting the service into a WARN state instead of getting it back to OK. The service then ended up going critical again but it never sent a notification on the hard state change from WARN to CRITICAL. Is it possible that because it never went back to OK the acknowledgement never went away? I'm reading through the docs and I don't see anything that covers this scenario.

[Nagios-users] Notification Question
Hello Happy New Year, Is it possible to have Nagios notify me of a service problem once an hour AND tell me how many times it alerted during that hour time frame? For example, if I run a plugin, I don't necessarily want to have a notification every time the threshold was met but after 1 hour, send me a notification that during that hour time period, the threshold was exceeded 10 times? I know that via the notification cfg I can set the time frame for sending a notification but can I keep a running total of the number of alerts for that 1 hour timeframe?
