Re: [Nagios-users] getting warnings for connection refused with check_nrpe instead of critical
I should write a patch to make it configurable... That'd be nice =) Ehrm, I just looked in the code of nrpe 2.12... This function is already in (-u). I still had 2.5.1 (Debian Etch). This really hurts... :-) Cheers Klaus -- BOFH excuse #75: There isn't any problem -- Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H ___ 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] getting warnings for connection refused with check_nrpe instead of critical
Hi, I have a problem with unstable lines and/or machines under stress. Sometimes they just don't reply on nrpe, but are still working, so I get a lot of false alarms. Is it possible, to tell check_nrpe to exit with a warning instead of critical?

I believe that a state of socket timeout will always be flagged as critical, though you can increase the max_check_attempts so it won't throw a notification so soon if you know of false positives. Of course figuring out the cause of your false positives is probably the better solution. -lee -- Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H ___ 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

I believe that a state of socket timeout will always be flagged as critical, though you can increase the max_check_attempts so it won't throw a notification so soon if you know of false positives. Sometimes these periods last for a an hour so, on some machines it's because of shitty connections to another continent or in countries with unstable infrastructure. Of course figuring out the cause of your false positives is probably the better solution. Most of time I know the cause, but it is not solvable in a cheap way :-) The relevant services are still working, but if the monitored values pass the thresholds, I want to know it, not if connection fails.

Edit check_nrpe.c; look for
void alarm_handler(int sig){
printf(CHECK_NRPE: Socket timeout after %d seconds.
\n,socket_timeout);
exit(STATE_CRITICAL);
}
change STATE_CRITICAL to whatever state you think it should be and
recompile.
