Re: [Nagios-users] little question about disable notification and schedule downtime
Correct. The former will cause notifications to remain disabled until told otherwise; the latter only for as long as specified. You should read up on the difference between Fixed and Flexible scheduled downtime while you're at it. If you want service/host checks disabled, you need to select that option from the web GUI (or drop that command into nagios.cmd).

[Nagios-users] need testers for latest check_netint (especially those using --cisco and --STP options)
Hey y'all nagios guys and gals, I need some testers for newest version of check_netint.pl (previously known as check_snmp_netint and originally check_smp_int) since I made a bunch of code updates this weekend. And I'm running cloud environment and can not quickly test --cisco and --stp options. If you're using this plugin with cisco switches and using these options, please get the latest dev (2.4a8) and see if it works as before: https://github.com/willixix/WL-NagiosPlugins/blob/dev/check_netint.pl Also those who've been pitching me to support 48+ port switches with one check, I added --bulk_snmp_queries option. You can test if that made things faster. I'm actually not sure if it would, because the plugin does does not do get_next on a tree which is what bulk query is supposed to speed up. Lastly this plugin now supports checking interfaces on a local linux machine instead of just SNNP. Feel free to test this as well. And if you are using FreeBSD or Solaris or some other unix, please consider helping out with a code to support your platform. Send all comments/issues/reports to my private email.

Re: [Nagios-users] circular parent/child chain
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi List, thanks for your fast replies, but I think you missed my point. I know that I could configure one parent and alert about spanning tree or do a lot of other stuff, but this would not help me at all in the following situations. Lets say that I have a lot of important infrastructure behind switch-4 and switch-5 and that the normal stp way is to route through switch-2 for switch-5 and for switch-4 to switch-3. Lets also suggest that at switch-2 there is not that much important infrastructure. If now switch-2 is failing at the same time a really important infrastructure behind switch-5 fails. I will only get informed that switch-2 failed, because switch-5 is a child of switch-2, but I will not be informed about the more important stuff at switch-5. Now I will spend a lot of time to exchange switch-2 before I even find out that there is something really important at switch-5 going on only because I could not give it a second parent (switch-4). Maybe the other problem would have been fixed in minutes if I would have known about it. I think it is a bad idea to have such parent/child chains. And please keep in mind that this is just a simple example and that a network can be much bigger than just 5 switches. The other point is that I will never see the real network infrastructure in the statusmap. As far as I can read the documentation I should also be able to build up my whole infrastructure like it is in the statusmap. Or for what is it at all? I would be really pleased if somebody could answer my question. - - Why is it in nagios not possible to be parent/child of a other host at the same time? - - Why is it a deadlock and where is the problem?

While you have redundancy, physically for your infrastructure, you are only using those links (for each VLAN at least), in a non-redundant way. Setup your Nagios child / parent relationships as per spanning tree has worked out how it should be when everything is up, add some monitoring for spanning-tree within Nagios, that way everything will work, and you'll always be informed when something is wrong. Thanks Giles All the time I try to configure this switch connections in nagios with more than one parent, where the hosts are at the same time parent and child, I get the following error: ERROR: The host 'switch-2' is part of a circular parent/child chain! ...

Re: [Nagios-users] Check_http status 503 gives 200 OK
Herewith
define service{
use generic-service_24x7
host_name www1
service_description check http url
check_command check_http! -u
http://www.testsomething.com -w 5 -c 8
}
This gives me a
HTTP OK: HTTP/1.1 200 OK - 414 bytes in 0.002 second response time
Back.
But in the browser the check gives me a
503 statuscode back.
The Nagios check_http script isn't detecting this 503 error message.

Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] Check_http status 503 gives 200 OK
Your example
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_http -I ip address -u http://url -w1 -c2
is a proxy request!
-I = ip address to connect to
-H = HTTP/1.1 Host Header
-u = relative url to fetch without protocol infos like http://
some examples
check nagios.org
OMD[gearman]:~/lib/nagios/plugins$ ./check_http -H nagios.org
HTTP OK: HTTP/1.1 200 OK - 54919 bytes in 1.703 second response time
|time=1.703114s;;;0.00 size=54919B;;;0
OMD[gearman]:~/lib/nagios/plugins$ host nagios.org
nagios.org has address 96.126.126.159
ok, nagios .org runns on 96.126.126.159
lets check a non existing page. we got 404!
OMD[gearman]:~/lib/nagios/plugins$ ./check_http -I 96.126.126.159 -H
nagios.org -u /404
HTTP WARNING: HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found - 17141 bytes in 0.536 second response
time |time=0.536015s;;;0.00 size=17141B;;;0
lets ask nagios.org for icinga.org ;) and we will get a 302
OMD[gearman]:~/lib/nagios/plugins$ ./check_http -I 96.126.126.159 -H
icinga.org -u /
