[Nagios-users] Reporting emails
Hey guys, I'm fairly new to Nagios and I'm monitoring about 100 hosts, each doing several checks and things are going great. I'd like to take things up a notch by somehow getting emailed report daily and weekly to tell me what host/services where down, when and for how long? In essence I'm trying to create a systems issues report that I can give to my directory to justify my existence.. :) Many thanks. Tristan Micro Peripherals Limited.

[Nagios-users] Reporting for redundant hosts
Hello everyone, I'm facing a problem for a long time now, having done some research on this, but never been able to find a solution: We're monitoring a lot of redundant network hosts (routers, firewalls, etc.) where we have to report the uptime of the whole setup, not only the uptime of a single component. An example: We have routerA and routerB, that form a HA setup. If one router is taken down, for example to update its firmware, or simply crashes, the whole setup still should have a reported uptime of 100%. What I've already tried is to configure a cluster service. The problem with this approach is, that I can't distinguish in the reporting whether the host was down or unreachable, which is another crucial number to report, also the downtimes don't get reflected very well. I'm running Nagios 3.2.1 with NDOutils if that matters for the question. Is there any plugin or addon that provides this functionality?

I really can't believe, that I'm the only one with this problem? I don't know about your case, but what I do here if there are multiple devices which support a single address is put all of them in Nagios as Assaf mentioned. I'll then set the real hosts as the parents of the virtual one, and if things are set up that way you *don't* need to worry about setting downtimes for the virtual address, because it will automatically be marked unreachable if all of the real addresses are down. In my case, though, I primarily want to know if the VIP is working, and am not quite as concerned with the individual hosts serving it (though those are important as well, just not as important as if the service they provide is available). Based on your statement that you'd have to monitor another host, it sounds like knowing the state of this service isn't really as important to you as knowing if the individual hosts that serve it are working. Frankly, that seems a bit backwards to me, but I don't really know your environment. -- ___ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null

[Nagios-users] Reporting issue
We;re currently using 3.06 in Production. We use a custom availability timeframe to run reports every month to report availability data to Mgmt. We noticed a change in behavior over the past couple months that has us puzzled. When we run an availability report for the past month and choose the custom report period, it reports the duration as 30 days. Seems logical as that is the elapsed time of the report, but in the past, nagios would calculate that duration as the maximum availability based on the custom timeperiod we used to generate the report. To make this a bit clearer, if our Production time was 18 hrs/day M-F and we defined that as Corp_Prod and we ran the report against it for, say, April 09. Nagios would have reported the Duration as 396 hours (22days x 18hrs/day). However, in recent months we're noticing that Nagios report the calendar duration of the report with no regard for the customer timeperiod. Any ideas whether something has changed or if we're doing something wrong? Thanks \\Greg -- The NEW KODAK i700 Series Scanners deliver under ANY circumstances!

[Nagios-users] Reporting from Nagios
I have just installed Nagios 3.0.6 and have it working monitoring a Windows and a Linux host. I will add more hosts to it, once I have finished evaluating. However Im a bit boggled with all the options, and not sure exactly which way to procede with what I wanty to do, so thought id ask a few questions about the reporting aspect. 1. Is there a way to have a host/service monitored 24x7 but only send one mail when it goes unknown/critical, and another when its ok again? The reason for this is if I keep getting multiple mails every little while, I will just filter them off and not bother with them which will defeat the purpose.

[Nagios-users] Reporting
Hi, I would like to know if anyone know some interesting tool to give nagios availability report to users that have to know about their hosts. I've used a perl script already (nagios-reporter), from nagios exchange that provide these reports trought email but the format is not easy to understand and the presentation is not good for custumers. I'm looking for two ways of giving reporting access to the custumers. One is trought an email with the information, and the other one should be an user interface that the custumers can go there and check for. Any idea will be welcome Regards, Fabiano Martins - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

[Nagios-users] Reporting Tool for Nagios
I'm using Nagios for almost a year now and found no problem. I got just one question, Is there a reporting tool or a patch that will summarize the Reporting under Availability? I'm tired of copying and paste all of the reports under services. Is there an application that will convert it to a text file or excel documents? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

[Nagios-users] reporting
I've played with a couple of reporting scripts from nagios exchange - with little success. Does anyone have one that they KNOW works on the latest, stable version of Nagios and can provide availability for a particular hostgroup? Or, conversely and probably preffered, a list of outages for each host in a particular hostgroup? Changing polling interval to 2 minutes was a no-brainer, I guess it had just been awhile since I messed with the configuration files. - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

Re: [Nagios-users] Reporting
Newest version of nagios, being 2.5 or the unreleased 3.0 version? I'm running 2.4 with all the standard CGI's which is what it was built to work with. It uses the CGI's standard reporting features, and should work as-is unless the CGI's have changed dramatically between Nagios 2.4 and 2.5. If you are using 3.0 then I wish you the best of luck but can't provide any help. This reporter is meant to be run from the command prompt, say from cron, and you need to edit the appropriate configuration variables (as documented in the file).

Re: [Nagios-users] Reporting
Hmm okay. Looks like a problem with the MIME encoding. What mail reader are you using? If you re-run the perl script with the --debug=2 flags then it may show you what the error is. If there are no errors visible, then your email reader may have a problem with the MIME inline . Try commenting out lines 326, 237 and 238 which are the second part of the MIME attatchment. The lines should look like 326 $smtp-datasend(--boundary\n); 327 $smtp-datasend(Content-type: text/plain\n); 328 $smtp-datasend(Please read the attatchment\n); Make sure you only remove those lines.

[Nagios-users] Reporting Transactions
Does anyone have any recommendations for using Nagios to consume or plug in something that can test end user experience and report transaction steps to Nagios? I would need this to test drilling down into web sites and Win32 apps. Kinda like a transaction testing solution like Rational Robot. Thanks! - Using Tomcat but need to do more?

Re: [Nagios-users] Reporting Transactions
Does anyone have any recommendations for using Nagios to consume or plug in something that can test end user experience and report transaction steps to Nagios? I would need this to test drilling down into web sites and Win32 apps. Kinda like a transaction testing solution like Rational Robot. Short answer - yes. Webinject. It's a free tool with Nagios *and* MRTG support, and we use it here for several sites. It's a bit awkward to configure but it supports cookies and session IDs. We also wrote one on-site that worked slightly differently, but ended up using webinject instead. If you have lots of these-$ then you can also get some commercial tools like SiteScope that can send alerts to Nagios via NSCA (can call an external script that calls send_nsca). SiteScope is easier to configure, but costs a lot and only runs under Windows. Steve - Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?

[Nagios-users] Reporting ideas sought.
Dear Folks, I am writing to welcome clues about providing an itemised list of outages and their causes from, 'in some way', Nagios. The Nagios availability report does ineed provide a useful list of outages that can be wrapped and processed to ones hearts content (eg HOST_NAME DOWN UP OUTAGE Albany_DEST_router05-12-2005 04:10:59 05-12-2005 08:42:29 4h 31m 30s Albany_Optus_router_PE_in 05-12-2005 04:10:59 05-12-2005 08:42:29 4h 31m 30s Lismore_DEST_router 05-12-2005 16:11:30 05-12-2005 20:01:40 3h 50m 10s Lismore_Optus_router_PE_i 05-12-2005 16:11:30 05-12-2005 20:01:40 3h 50m 10s Kempsey_DEST_router 05-12-2005 13:16:39 05-12-2005 13:22:49 6m 10s Kempsey_Optus_router_PE_i 05-12-2005 13:16:39 05-12-2005 13:22:49 6m 10s Broken_Hill_Optus_router_ 05-12-2005 01:54:17 05-12-2005 01:57:27 3m 10s Broken_Hill_DEST_router 05-12-2005 01:56:07 05-12-2005 01:57:27 1m 20s ) but Nagios has AFAIK, no means of capuring event related data and associating it with an outage event to produce something like HOST_NAME DOWN UP OUTAGE CAUSE COMMENT Albany_DEST_router05-12-2005 04:10:59 05-12-2005 08:42:29 4h 31m 30s 1 BDR - down, provider Albany_Optus_router_PE_in 05-12-2005 04:10:59 05-12-2005 08:42:29 4h 31m 30s 1 BDR - down, provider Lismore_DEST_router 05-12-2005 16:11:30 05-12-2005 20:01:40 3h 50m 10s 2 router restart by power-on Lismore_Optus_router_PE_i 05-12-2005 16:11:30 05-12-2005 20:01:40 3h 50m 10s 2 power failure Kempsey_DEST_router 05-12-2005 13:16:39 05-12-2005 13:22:49 6m 10s 1 BDR - down, provider Kempsey_Optus_router_PE_i 05-12-2005 13:16:39 05-12-2005 13:22:49 6m 10s 1 BDR - down, provider Broken_Hill_Optus_router_ 05-12-2005 01:54:17 05-12-2005 01:57:27 3m 10s 5 dismiss Broken_Hill_DEST_router 05-12-2005 01:56:07 05-12-2005 01:57:27 1m 20s 5 dismiss In this case, cause is a coded value that classifies the fault and the comment is free form text. The best I can think of to create something like this is to 1 Append the outages to a file - possibly by having an event handler run the code that extracts the outage from the availability CGI - or better still all the data for an outage is prob provided by macros - for the host or service and appending that to a file. 2 Have an admin edit the file and add the values when they become known. The guts of the problem is Nagios does the right thing by automatically changing the state of monitored entity; there is no opportuntity to 'officially' close the 'fault' by collecting user-input and associating it with an outage. Looked at another way, outages don't really exist as first class objects (with their own methods and data).
