from:"Michael Friedrich"


Hi there,

you can use Nagvis not depending on installing NDOUtils - try NDO2fs 
which is a new module and fully compatible to current NagVis version. It 
gets the data from Nagios via NDO Event Broker and writes it to a 
filebased structure from where NagVis will select the data from.


http://www.vertical-visions.de/2009/01/13/introducing-ndo2fs/
http://www.vertical-visions.de/projects/nagvis-project/
http://www.nagvis.org/

We added two backends to the main NagVis code. You can now connect 
NagVis to ndo2fs http://www.pnp4nagios.org/ndo2fs/start. Ndo2fs is a 
lightweight alternative to the default MySQL based NDO.


Kind regards,
Michael

I just installed ndoutils with mysql. There indeed was one
pitfall: the
database is growing quite large very quickly. Eventually, the DB got
sluggish and couldn't keep up with the data Nagios threw at it (the DB
server is quite underpowered). It got so bad that after a week or so,
Nagios wouldn't even start up.

It turned out that it wasn't primarily the database itself, but binary
logging. It is turned on by default (at least on CentOS) but you only
need it for replication. If you are not using replication, simply turn
off binary logging and you should be good to go. At least, I hope
so; I
only made that change yesterday, so I won't know for another week
or so.


Thanks for all those helpful comments guys! You might have saved me 
from a few disasters here. I think I am staying away from Nagvis (and 
ndoutils ) for now.


Nagviz seems to me one of those tools that simply look great but the 
back-end still needs quite some work before I'd be brave enough to 
unleash it in a production environment!

uhm... you should copy the new compiled binary to your nagios/bin 
directory, but i don't think that will resolv the error anyways.


give us a plot of your ndo2db.cfg please.

without configure options, nagios will be installed into /usr/local/nagios/

It tells you exactly what is missing - a package called net-snmp for 
perl. a bit google and on fedora you can refer to this page:

http://www.rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=net-snmp-perl

choose rpm which is applicable to your fedora version (if 10, then fc10 
and so on).

wget downloadurl
rpm -i downloaded.rpm


Another method of getting this is using the perl CPAN

perl -MCPAN -e shell
(go through config process if asked)
install Net::SNMP
quit


Kind regards,
Michael

Re: [Nagios-users] supported version of ndoutils for 3.0.6?

2009-07-16 Thread Michael Friedrich

get the lastest sourcecode directly from cvs. code is 
beta/unstable/blocking etc but it causes less problems than the 1.4b7 
tar-ball


be sure to follow the installation guide exactly and afterwards, set the 
data processing options and db trimming options for your need.

(hint: install the mysqlclient-devel package before)

For further Howtos or questions please refer to [1] which is mostly 
german but there are also several guides and answers in english, too.


Kind regards,
Michael

Re: [Nagios-users] Can't I install Ndoutils on Ubuntu Desktop Edition?

2009-07-22 Thread Michael Friedrich

apt-get install mysql-server mysql-client libmysqlclient15off 
libmysqlclient15-dev


mysql is your db where you need to create the nagios db, user and then 
configure ndoutils to insert data - fetching can be done in different ways.

Re: [Nagios-users] Error: Dependency is not satisfiable.

get the latest ndoutils 1.4b8 from the nagios website and follow the 
install documentation. just setup your mysql db, import the db scheme 
and ./configure  make ndoutils, cp binaries to nagios/bin and edit the 
cfgs to fit your needs.

 Can anyone help me in getting the same installed or with a document

Re: [Nagios-users] ndo2db stop abnormal

2009-07-24 Thread Michael Friedrich

Try setting the debug_level to the highest (ndo2db.cfg). check the 
appropriate file permissions on ndo2db.debug.


And maybe apply the mods-sql-script for 1.4b8.

Thanks for replying.

I have investigated syslogs on the hosting system,
but no clue about the dead of ndo2db was found.

Nagios 3.1.2, NDOUtils 1.4b8 and MySQL 5.0.67 are built from empty,
therefore there should be no upgrading issue

Thanks

Hi all,

Recently I have installed Nagios 3.1.2 and NDOUtils 1.4b8 on a
Solaris 9 system with MySQL 5.0.67. Nagios is running fine, but
while I start ndo2db daemon for retriving and sending Nagios data
to MySQL, ndo2db started and then stoped soonwith no error
message.

Part of nagios.log is as following: [1247834612] ndomod:
Successfully reconnected to data sink! 0 items lost, 4840 queued
items to flush.


  

-  8
  


The first line with Successfully . is the moment while ndo2db
was started, it seems at that time ndomod can send data to ndo2db
socket. After that ndo2db stoped adnormal and ndomod can't find the
socket to write.

Any help will be appreciated, thank in advance.

  

Please have a look into your system log.
ndo2db logs via syslog, don't know exactly where to find this on solaris.

Did you upgrade your database schema after upgrade to b8?
The upgradedb script is broken, so a good try would be to run:

mysql -u USERNAME -p your db name 
/path/to/source/ndoutils-version/db/mysql-upgrade-1.4b8.sql

 I had similar issues , turns out it was a problem with the connection to the

 If you are using the NDO , check the size of the DB , in some cases nagios as 
 issues connecting and 
 starting with very large tables in the nagios DB.

Uncomment the event broker in nagios.cfg first and then step further 
into ndo - that saves time for the first part in case :-)

Where is your mysql_config located as pointed here?

use the --with-mysql=DIR argument to specify the

On RHELx64, it's pointed to /usr/lib64/mysql/bin/mysql_config

Did you install the mysql-devel packages?

Re: [Nagios-users] NDOUtils: high mysql (cpu) Load, after moving from vmware to kvm

2009-09-22 Thread Michael Friedrich

Hi,

Denny Schierz wrote the following on 21.09.2009 23:13:
 but this helps only a few minutes (10-15min). So, any suggestions?
   
Depending on your db trimming settings and the count of hosts/services 
you may encounter concurrent insert/update and delete statements.
If your event broker options point to -1 everything from Nagios and the 
neb module will be sent by ndmod to ndo2db and inserted/updated into the 
database. But the builtin housekeeping module keeps track of old entries 
and may send deletes by time comparison. Those deletes will get quite 
huge depending how many e.g. timed events have occured within a small 
period of time.

So for the first part, it would be interesting, which data do you really 
need (actual, historical, status only). Deciding upon this matching you 
should set the data processing option for the event broker. Either way 
also how often the most common tables will be cleaned (in ndo2db.cfg). 
Before you ask there is no key value for everyone. It's highly dependant 
on the rdbm (in this case only MySQL), hardware and i/o, and on the 
Nagios config and check intervals and generated events etc.

Kind regards,
Michael

[Nagios-users] NDOUtils: duplicate rows in several tables

2009-11-13 Thread Michael Friedrich


Hi there,

we had an issue with servicechecks where duplicate rows where inserted 
instead of updating one single row. During my analysis there was more of 
that feature...


Looking at timedevents table ... there also is no unique constraint 
since unique key != key


now it looks like this:

+---+-++-+--+-+-+-+-+---+-++
| timedevent_id | instance_id | event_type | queued_time | 
queued_time_usec | event_time  | event_time_usec | scheduled_time  
| recurring_event | object_id | deletion_time   | deletion_time_usec |
+---+-++-+--+-+-+-+-+---+-++
|346416 |   1 |  0 | 2009-11-11 16:16:06 |   
448613 | -00-00 00:00:00 |   0 | 2009-11-11 16:20:58 |  
 0 | 19918 | -00-00 00:00:00 |  0 |
|346941 |   1 |  0 | -00-00 00:00:00 |  
  0 | 2009-11-11 16:20:58 |   49905 | 2009-11-11 16:20:58 | 
  0 | 19918 | -00-00 00:00:00 |  0 |

as you can see

instance_id=1 - both
event_type=0 - both
scheduled_time='2009-11-11 16:20:58' - both
object_id=19918 - both

So the second query should generate an update not an insert!

This fail concerns the following tables:

systemcommands
timedeventqueue
timedevents

Difference between mysql and postgres/oracle:

MySQL:
INSERT INTO table () VALUES () ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE SET foo=bar;

depends on the defined unique constraint within the table creation.

Oracle:
MERGE INTO table USING DUAL ON (unique constraint) WHEN MATCHED THEN 
UPDATE SET foo=bar WHEN NOT MATCHED INSERT () VALUES ();


Postgres:
UPDATE table SET foo=bar WHERE (unique constraint);
if nothing affected
INSERT INTO table () VALUES ();

Both Oracle and Postgres have defined unique constraints within the 
queries already. The table created unique constraints are just a doubled 
check.


They have been deeply debugged by myself, since I have implemented their 
support (currently only within Icinga IDOUtils).


But MySQL is missing some constraints and cannot recheck that within the 
query.




So my fix attempted to recreate those unique keys within the table creation.

Looks nice indeed, no more duplicates (tested on Icinga IDOUtils where 
the exact same DB Scheme is applied and MySQL does the same on duplicate 
key)


mysql select * from icinga_timedevents where object_id=20260;

Re: [Nagios-users] event_broker_options and multiple broker modules

 Hi,

 I'm currently using NDOutils+MySQL to access both, live- and hitorical 
 data from Nagios-systems in a custom network management system.

Which Version of NDOUtils? If  1.4b7 I would not recommend it for 
historical data, or in case, if you don't need correct data in 
servicechecks, systemcommands and timedevents, you can keep it ;-)

 Recently I noticed mk-livestatus and since the NDO-DB solution has 
 significant performance/scalability issues I'm planning to use 
 mk-livestatus for live-data-retrieval but keeping NDO for historical
 data.

AFAIK mk-livestatus can also ask the core for historical data, but I 
don't think parsing logs from the core would scale then. Also the 
overall memory consumption of the core loading the mk-livestatus module 
will will be more when having everything cached.

 Basically it doesn't seem to be a problem to use both broker-modules
 at the same time but I'd like to specify different 
 event_broker_options per broker_module. is that possible ?

On NDOUtils you can set the data processing options in ndomod.cfg - this 
is just for the module itsself. Which event broker options are needed 
for mk-livestatus - well that's the thing to ask the devs. Also there's 
no option to set that directly onto the module as for it only gets the 
live socket as param (and debug mode).

I would recommend that you ask on nagios-portal.org where the devs are 
around.

Kind regards,
Michael

 Hey all. Sorry for cross-posting, but I suppose this announce
 interests quite a lot of the users too, and not just developers.

 I'm just writing to inform you all that Nagios (core and cgi's)
 development is once again moving forward. We've previously been
 stalled by technical issues on how we should work with the code
 now that we're a distributed team.

 As most of you know, talk has been going on for quite some time
 to move the official Nagios repository to git. While this hasn't
 happened yet, everything that has so far been coded for Nagios
 has been done that way, in my own and Ton's public repositories
 which are cross-pollinated with changes from both of us.

 So for those of you who wish to try out a revamped Nagios with a
 bunch of bugfixes and code improvements, clone your repo from me
 or Ton today and build Nagios from source.

Thanks for the update. Although it would be nice to get the official 
repositories onto GIT - where exactly is the problem?

And regarding the revamped Nagios - is this meant to be an invitation 
for testing, or for using those versions? When will all those fixes be 
merged back in to the CVS HEAD

   branches:
 masterSame as the still-official Nagios CVS repo
 dev   My changes on top of CVS import
 ae-tonThe merged state between me and Ton

Sounds good, will give it a try. A bunch of nice improvements, and 
bugfixes next to those where I've already applied the patches and tested 
them over here :)

   gitweb url:
 http://github.com/tonvoon/opsview-nagios.git

Minor note - remove the .git then it works
http://github.com/tonvoon/opsview-nagios

 Those of you who have reported bugs to tracker.nagios.org should
 log into the tracker again and see if your bug has been closed or
 resolved, and if so try out my dev branch, which should contain
 the proper fix.

Any news on NDOUtils and other Core addons? Next to the Core it would be 
nice to know what's going on with them.

Kind regards,
Michael

Hi,

 Original Message  
Subject: Re: [Nagios-devel] Nagios development moving forward
From: Andreas Ericsson a...@op5.se
To: Nagios Developers List nagios-de...@lists.sourceforge.net

 The problem is that Ethan is too swamped to learn a new SCM at the
 moment. Since that most likely means he's also too swamped to do any
 development work on the Nagios core and CVS is quite unusable by me
 and Ton, we decided to move forward with development anyway. 

Well I understand what he is doing right know, and I also understand 
that Ton and you would like to get things going with GIT.
I basically did the same for some NDOUtils patches recently, I don't 
like to work on CVS when I get my hands on GIT :)

 We're using one git repository each, and expect to be able to send pull
 requests to Ethan (or whoever takes the part of integrator) when
 Ethan takes the time to learn enough of git to join in.

Hmmm I was coming from CVS/SVN about a year ago, and it was hard at the 
first time, but after a while, it was rather easy. I wrote several 
notes, and summarized this into our wiki lately.

Maybe it will help Ethan since its focus is on the core within GIT.

https://dev.icinga.org/wiki/icinga-development

 It's meant to be an announcement that there are repositories where
 core developers are stashing bugfixes and enhancements. What people
 choose to do with that information is quite up to themselves.

Ok, will start testing and applying then.

 Personally, I'd love it if people used my 'dev' branch for testing
 and, if it solves a real problem they're having, for production use
 too. All the changes I've done so far are bugfixes and performance
 and maintainability improvements that shouldn't change any previously
 working behaviour.

Maybe several patches and fixes will get into rpm/deb packages then if 
they are resolving major issues and no new official release happens in time.
Thanks for pointing this out, this will ease applying and testing.

 Yes and no. Hendrik Baecker wrote an email to me, Ton and Ethan a
 few weeks ago stating he no longer has the time to maintain NDOutils.
 That means that NDOUtils currently stands without a maintainer.

Ah ok. Thanks for the official info, thought about that a while ago.
Well, difficult situation then. Maybe time for Merlin to become an 
official Core addon? :)

 I won't be picking up that flag, since I'm also the Merlin maintainer
 and wouldn't want to sit in a position where I'm maintaining two
 similar modules. Especially since op5 won't be paying me to maintain
 a more or less competing product. Maybe Ton or Ethan will take care
 of it, or we'll announce that we're looking for a new maintainer
 sometime soon. If anyone's interested in wearing the NDOUtils hat,
 let us know.

A while ago, I would have said yes (I also told Hendrik that he should 
send Ethan my application, but I got on hold never having sent any 
patches or sth like that).

Right know my company will step over to Icinga and I will be maintaining 
this direction into the future, mainly regarding Postgres/Oracle support 
  in combination with the new API/Web.

So basically there's no time left for NDOUtils - it's basically 
competing with IDOUtils as a matter of fact, but only IDOUtils has 
Postgres/Oracle support and extended housekeeping etc. Overall NDOUtils 
needs to be kind of rewritten/improved as we did in Icinga - by someone 
who'll take the hat.

Furthermore there are signifcant issues on the code of NDOUtils which 
need to be fixed asap (imho) - just for the community who uses it right now.

Some of them are mentioned on the lists, some on the tracker and some 
are also within the patch collection of Opsera (talked to Ton on IRC 
about taking some of them into IDOUtils).

Regarding NagVis, mk-livestatus (nice approach getting to know on the 
couches next to OSMC 2009) get's more and more important and people are 
moving over. At least the german speaking community is really into that, 
maybe others will catch up too.

http://mathias-kettner.de/checkmk_livestatus.html

So the basic need of NDOUtils is not there anymore regarding NagVis - 
also if using Merlin/Ninja.
For other addons e.g. reporting tools development must not stop though.

There are 2 other guys on the NDOUtils team - how about them to get 
things going?
Or maybe a decision by Ethan, because currently the Nagios XI Enterprise 
version also ships with a buggy, not patched version of NDOUtils. And I 
suspect, for business needs, that's not really a good choice offering that.

Anyways, I am happy to see that something's going on on the Nagios dev 
side of life :-)

Kind regards,
Michael

 So for those of you who wish to try out a revamped Nagios with a
 bunch of bugfixes and code improvements, clone your repo from me
 or Ton today and build Nagios from source.

I've taken all your commits and applied them manually onto the current 
Icinga Core (we changed things, Nagios did not, and next to that, I'd 
like to understand what you and Toon hacked there ;-)

Your hackings are very very nice, and it's a real good start in fixing 
things and getting rid of old grown code and workarounds.

This commit is just WOW :-)

http://git.op5.org/git/?p=nagios.git;a=commit;h=555b4b72aae54e65ba923093ef469c3aa5a0edb9

Regarding taking over commits, kudos have been kept both within commit 
subjects and changelog for our next release including your patches next 
to ours.

 From the testing arena, everything runs fine. Although the sync 
retention feature is only one half of the good, the other would be 
opsview or some nifty hacking on distributed monitoring :) Everything 
else resolves as it should be.

By chance, get these changes into a revamped tar.gz and hand that to 
packagers, if it does not get into current CVS head. Or at least the 
patch set :)

Kind regards,
Michael

I would just recommend it on performance purpose but if it worked for 
you, stay at 1.4b7 - 1.4b8 is shipping with several bugs which are not 
all resolved in 1.4b9 (from what I can tell looking at the code and 
comparing to Icinga IDOUtils).

Regarding your problem I would run a sanity check on the database, 
checking if there's anything broken and ndo2db just fails on inserting 
data (long lasting connections to the rdbms slow down the overall 
sequential inserts).

You might also use a little trick to remove the 5k items from buffer - 
you can set that in your ndomod.cfg - set it to 1, restart the core, 
change back and restart again. Never tried that, but at least those 
buffered items should be dropped out of the way.

But I think the electrical incident harmed sth else, like the rdbms.

Kind regards,
Michael

 I tried updating my (perfectly working, mind you) ndoutils from

 I'm running on Solaris-10 SPARC.  The last SQL query I seem to see
 in the debug log is when the ndo2db daemon tries inserting a row
 into the Nagios_customvariables table.


Well I've sent a patch a few months ago to nagios-devel but iirc it's 
only in CVS, not within a new beta release. An Icinga user pointed me to 
that problem.

http://markmail.org/message/jsolx6j6jl74aqpj

 I'm tired of banging my head on it.  Does anybody know when the
 next version is due out that'll fix the segfaults?


Currently NDOUtils stands without a maintainer...
http://www.mail-archive.com/nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg32080.html

I'd recommend staying at 1.4b7 since 1.4b9 SQL schema is a bit screwed 
regarding unique constraints next to the binary selects instead of case 
sensitive collation.

Search the mailing list archives for further information on that.

Anyways, if you consider patching those things yourself, consider Icinga 
with IDOUtils as an alternative too.

Kind regards,
Michael

PS: Sorry for mentioning Icinga and fork and so on. Since it catches up 
with the topic, I think it's worth to talk about that a bit with the 
Nagios community too.

Check on that. Do you really need all data or is it just for pulling

You might wanna check this nifty calculator too

The first thing you won't ever need are the timed events. Icinga

No it's just fine. The defaults are set to high imho, I patched that in

 Here is the SQL

Ok, so basically you need to sum up all needed values e.g. containing

 Does that mean i want the service status data and/or the service check
 data.  I assume that the host should match.


checks are considered historical.

Thanks for your reply Bret.

I would like the second idea (keep that message on all the pages in 
that same gray box). So I looked into that directory you mentioned 
(/usr/local/nagios/sbin) but they are all the compiled cgi files. When 
I opened them with UltraEdit and Notepad, they were not editable, the 
lines look something like this (below).


Is there any way I could edit them or may be there are pre-compiled 
versions of the files which I could edit?


you have to edit the appropriate .c files and then recompile the cgis 
out of them. since this a generic box, it's only defined once.


$ grep -r display_info_table *

points to cgi/cgiutils.c

Within this function you will see a bunch of html code within printf 
calls. There you can edit/add your preferred line.


e.g. adding below

if(current_authdata!=NULL)
printf(Logged in as 
i%s/iBR\n,(!strcmp(current_authdata-username,))??:current_authdata-username);


this

printf(ifont color=redbeware of the nagios root, don't 
change anything!/font/iBR\n);


After that, run make clean  make cgis  sudo make install-cgis

Should do the trick ;-)

 please answer this email in private. Below a short description of what 
 is OpViews Connector:

 *OpViews Connector is an application developed to add advanced 
 visualization functionalities for Nagios-based management 
 applications, the opensource most popular network and systems 
 management platform.** OpViews allows Nagios, Nagios XI, OpMon, 
 GroundWork, Op5 and Icinga's users easily build business and 
 infra-structures dashboards through an user friendly GUI. OpViews 
 Editor (included) allow users from the above platforms get monitoring 
 indicators and informations direct from their databases and show them 
 in an graphic and animated dashboard, which make it perfect to show IT 
 status on large screens, without having to write a single line of code. *

 Using the Advanced Nagios Adapter (ANA) you don't have to make any 
 modifications in your opensource monitoring application and the 
 results are presented fully integrated in your monitoring environment. 
 ANA allows you to connect and extract data direct from your monitoring 
 databases, no matter what Nagios-based database broker you are using 
 and without having to write any code.

 As a requirement to use OpViews Connector you must use one of the 
 following Nagios-based database broker on your server:
 *- ndoutils*
 *- IDOUtils*
 *- Opdb*
 - Merlin
 - Mk Livestatus

 On the browser/client side the only requirement is Adobe Flash Player 
 10.1 or superior installed in your desktop.

This has been redirecting to the main page for a while now. Probably 
because the Nagios community site has been hacked if this blog post 
tells the truth.

http://blog.sucuri.net/2010/07/nagios-community-site-hacked.html

It looks like a .htaccess redirection, but it might be something else. 
They are using an old version of WordPress, which may explain the 
compromise. We recommend people stay way from the site until it gets fixed.


 Is this related to the wiki issue or something else? (Or did I not get

The wiki could have suffered from that too, but if no-one affiliated to

 I want to acknowledge detected problems from a remote machine using

Have a look into cgi/cmd.c

void request_command_data(int cmd){

and then translate the cmd type e.g. CMD_DISABLE_HOST_NOTIFICATIONS into

but afaik disabling only the ack notification won't be possible in that

ndoutils is only one way putting config, status and historical data 
into a mysql database. the current cgis or even the core do not take 
those values into account for doing their work. you might use other 
addons to present the data from mysql then.

if you are considering an install of ndoutils, make sure it's either a 
cvs + patched version of 1.4b9 or the old 1.4b7 which runs smooth. 
current 1.4b9 contains some severe bugs which haven't been fixed for a 
while now.

depends on your data being processed. duplicate rows bug in 
servicechecks table e.g. affects historical data processing afterwards.
try a

mysql show create table nagios_servicechecks;

and check if the unique keys are set correctly. the other way around, 
try selecting several rows from that table, and check for 
start_time/end_time being zero. 2 rows having the unique keys

(`instance_id`,`service_object_id`,`start_time`,`start_time_usec`)

or only one row?


another patch regarding customvariables config is in cvs but never got 
released. basically ndo2db segfaults because of a too small defined array for 
inserting/updating custom variables configuration (this only happens if you 
dump config and use custom vars).

some other changes which affect performance like binary casting for case 
sensitive compares are also there. so if you don't need ssl over tcp, reports 
for 1.4b7 are just more fine then.

read further on that thread: 
http://www.mail-archive.com/nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg32793.html

Kind regards,
Michael

PS: The proposed patch for the duplicated rows is rather small. but it can't be 
applied on existing installations as mysql will complain about unique 
constraint violation of existing data then. but at least patching that for 
fresh installs would generate more benefit.

Re: [Nagios-users] Large NDO Table

 The NDO tables nagios_host_contactgroups and

 nagios servers:

 SELECT count(*) FROM nagios_host_contactgroups;
 1230862

 SELECT count(*) FROM nagios_service_contactgroups;
 3310190

 The indexes are in place - when I run a SHOW CREATE TABLE
 nagios_host_contactgroups, I get the following:

 CREATE TABLE `nagios_host_contactgroups` (
`host_contactgroup_id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
`instance_id` smallint(6) NOT NULL default '0',
`host_id` int(11) NOT NULL default '0',
`contactgroup_object_id` int(11) NOT NULL default '0',

UNIQUE KEY `instance_id` (`host_id`,`contactgroup_object_id`)
 ) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=2905453 DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1
 COMMENT='Host contact groups';

 There are similar UNIQUE KEYs on nagios_service_contactgroups.


this is not the current 1.4b9 schema. either it's modified for your 
usage or you still have the old 1.4b7 schema or something else. 1.b8 
changed the db engine from innodb to myisam (which is not good, but 
that's the main difference).


 Should I be worried about the size of the table?  I'm trying to do
 anything I can to speed up the database operations and limit database
 size.  I'm running Nagios 3.0.6 and NDO 1.4b9.  We have 109 contacts
 defined in the system, 1900+ hosts and 5000+ services.  I've already
 tuned the trim option for nagios_externalcommands and
 nagios_logentries down to 30 minutes, for what it's worth, as we
 mostly use the NDO data for a front end package we developed in-house.


i don't remember any logentries trimming options for ndoutils. can you 
post egrep -v ^$|^# ndo2db.cfg

the numbers are a bit odd though. can you check if the unique key 
columns match any id in objects or hosts?

kind regards,
michael

Sure thing. But how to support the community (e.g. in IRC) by telling 
them delete sth in the code and then recompile. This remains a major 
bug and should be fixed in a release soon. Also within already created 
packages and so on.

In the Opsview repository, a patch for this is accessible, but I think 
the community wouldn't mind getting the host checks skipped bug fixed 
too within Nagios 3.2.3 - would create a nice release blog post and a 
bit more focused on development than keeping other issues with more 
priority as it seems.

If you require more test reports (as Tony stated on IRC that Ethan wants 
that): The fix has been tested and debugged on Icinga Core, same 
behavior, same bugfix, same successful tests. If needed, I'll clone 
Andreas' GIT and run several tests against Nagios Core too, but since 
the code in this regard is merely the same, putting that up to a release 
should be no problem. But if you do think different, no offense taken.

Kind regards,
Michael

 Hi all.  My first post here. So please bear with me.

 Installed the HEAD release from the Nagios website last night and while 
 everything is working, I am not able to reschedule commands as I get a 
 message saying that the permissions on the nagios.cmd file are not correct.  
 What should the permissions on this file be?


create a command grp like in the quickstart guides iirc. e.g. nagiocmd

$ chmod 775 nagios/var/rw
$ chown nagios:nagiocmd nagios/var/rw
$ chmod g+s nagios/var/rw

sticky bit for inheriting the permissions to files created below. if 
somebody tells you to change permissions only on nagios.cmd in var/rw/ 
this is only true as long as the core is running. nagios.cmd will be 
deleted/unlinked during core shutdown.

also make sure you have put apache user into nagiocmd group. then it 
will have the permissions to write the nagios.cmd command file and it 
should work properly.

Michael

 I believe this to be a significant bug.
  
 I believe this fix has already been applied to CVS head, and is awaiting

2010-10-01 Thread Michael Friedrich

Andreas Ericsson wrote:

 How about download the proposed fix from CVS and give that a go?


True for testing environments and source upgrades (if people can do that 
theirselves).
Untrue for package upgrades and similar upgrade paths.

Main problem targets the fact that the error reports differ in various 
ways. Only a developer might get the idea what did change, but if I were 
just an user with daily business I would spend a lot of time checking on 
possible errors. Better having a new release telling this is fixed.

 Since the fix awaits input from testers we can't very well release it
 immediately. You've tested it, so that makes one person. If a few more
 report that it's now working as intended without any downsides we'll
 probably go ahead and cut a release in the next few days, but releasing
 untested code that might break something else just to fix a bug isn't
 really good practice.


Well good to hear that, not rushing into releases. Maybe instrumented by 
asking on different channels for testing help (like Twitter and Facebook 
getting very popular right now). Just an idea to make life more easy.

Michael

 Thank you, Andreas - I actually really enjoy writing tests and
 understand their value - will see if I can put a few in place using
 tap over the next week or so and update the patch with them.

considering the tests in t-tap - adding such a new config option breaks 
them.

at least in test_timeperiods.c and test_nagios_config.c the variable 
needs to be added.

int allow_empty_hostgroup_assignment;

if you write your own NEB broker module, and put that onto libpq or 
similar, the core will be able to, sure. Or you'll have a look at Icinga 
IDOUtils which support Postgresql quite a while now.


I found NDOUtils, but this addon does not suit me because i don't use

Well there aren't that much alternatives to that. Merlin supports MySQL

is already released which *should* support more RDBMS.


But for notifications only, why not using event handlers? then you could 
call scripts putting data into your rdbms the preferred way.

 Quote of the Day!

 hmmm are you using the defaults repos, or the debian backports? and is it

 Squeeze - patched daily...

 The lib* packages were loaded via package installer (downloaded from the 
 debian mirror ...)

 Nagios, the plugins and the GD Utilities from the tarballs from Nagios  
 Boutelles.  (I'm following the instructions
 from here:  http://www.debianhelp.co.uk/nagiosinstall.htm, obviously with 
 some adaptation of the versions )

 To be clear - Nagios itself, and the plugins install and run.  The 
 statusmap.cgi however is listed as
 not found when I request that interface in the browser.

 Maybe I should just look for the ne-key 

http://backports.debian.org/Instructions/

but as far as i have seen there are no recent 3.2.3 packages. i'm only 
checking regularly those from icinga ;-)

so taking custom packages would be preferred either way.

Re: [Nagios-users] alias host configuration not interpreted since 3.2.2

I built myself a little test setup and just returned $HOSTALIAS$ as

$HOSTALIAS$ changed without error when changing the alias
definition, since version 3.2.2 change is impossible.

Thanks for a fix in an upcoming version.


We have just diagnosed this problem as well.  It seems to be due to this
fix released with 3.2.2:

* Fix for retaining host display name and alias, as well as service
display name (Folkert van Heusden)

Sadly, the additional retained attributes have no corresponding mask
bits to use in the retained_host_attribute_mask setting, and there is no
justification provided for incorporating this change, just that one
line.  No UI I've seen lets you change these values (though one could
exist I'm sure). The result is, whatever value those fields had are kept
forever in the retention file regardless of what you change them to in
the actual configuration.  The only solution I can see is to stop
Nagios, edit the retention file and start Nagios.  There may be a string
you can send to the command pipe to change those (one would hope that is
the case), but I agree with you -- this fix needs to be pulled from
the code.


I recently removed that feature from icinga core, and then also built 
an on demand patch against current 3.2.3 git tree for an omd user. since 
it's unclear to me if the nagios devs would keep that as feature or not, 
feel free to use the attached git patch yourself.

Ok. Will do when I get more time for writing more tests. Putting

 I don't know enough around this area, but I know Andreas is keen on

 NEW

 fix flexible downtime on service hard state change doesn't get 
 triggered/activated

 recently, there was a change on flexible downtime triggering,
 allowing soft state changes to active a flexible downtime.

 this change removed the condition on hard_state_change check,
 so it only triggered those from soft state changes but not
 the well known older behavior.

 the tricky part is, that those 2 vars are not the same on each
 state change, so the replacement fix needs a sanitized near-by
 addin, which this patch introduces.

 this bug has been evaluated and debugged in deep, the fix
 now runs2 months on productive systems, allowing us to
 trigger flexible downtimes on hard state changes too, next
 to the soft state changes being detected.

 please check https://dev.icinga.org/issues/1228 for a deeper
 analysis on this.


 0004-fix-flexible-downtime-on-service-hard-state-change-d.patch
 This one requires a test case too, due to its complexity. See 
 t-tap/test_checks.c which has tests in the handle_async_check_results routine.

Ok, thanks for the hint. In case there are any users in the Nagios world 
happen to have the same problem, I'd love to see some reports after 
having that patch applied against 3.2.3 or similarities.


 please consider them for future releases as it will ease the 
 porting-patches-from-icinga-core procedure.
 To be honest, that's not my problem. You can make an argument that it is 
 better for Nagios users, but an argument to make your life easier for future 
 patches is not going to sway me. If you choose to fork, then you're accepting 
 a certain cost of maintenance.

Of course not your problem, not even Nagios devs ones, just Nagios users 
maybe.

I was only taking the advantage to give something back from Icinga. 
Take it or leave it. Just saying that if you're interested in further 
contributions, I'd expect some feedback (just like you did, so thanks 
for the reaction).
If you're insisting on further automated test cases, it's fine, but will 
cause those patches to last longer on that list until resolving more 
important issues. Like I mentioned recently, there are some bugs 
affecting both, Icinga and Nagios I am currently working on.

Talking of forks - I really appreciate the Centreon engine fork. Must 
have happened for a reason, remember the execvp patch on this list? I'm 
keen on seeing what they have been doing, and watching out for further 
ideas on their interesting ideas. the initial released code has various 
things already applied 
(http://www.centreon.com/Centreon/centreon-engine-download.html). 
Shinken is already proofing what's possible, let's welcome another 
competitor in the game :)


Kind regards,
Michael

 Good idea. Involving the community to help test things is something
 I've been wanting and trying to do for a long time.

the mailinglists are not optimal. try a dev blog, ask on fb/twitter, and 
maybe cleanup the bug tracker a bit. using new social media in a good 
way can make life easier. but i think i already mentioned that a while 
ago to tony on irc.

 I'm fairly sure I applied that one, but perhaps I was lacking the
 proper amount of alcohol in my bloodstream and forgot to do the
 git -  cvs export step. The patch is good and will be applied though,
 since it would otherwise force us to bump the major version of Nagios
 for the next release. Thanks :)

thought so, and the recent change to svn would have made the diff 
changed, idea - grab some beers (i'm sure you will on the nagios 
conference in italy) and do it together with ton and ethan, showing some 
git ;-))


 Well, some patches are obviously correct and can be applied without
 adding tests for them. Where current behaviour changes, or new features
 are added in already complex areas is a different matter though, but
 getting the code queued somewhere might make it easier to accept from
 users testing them.

Point is, in that special change on previous release, no test was 
provided either. So by just reverting the diff, it could have resolved 
the issue either way. But I also understand Ton's demanding though I 
don't have time writing those tests myself. For me, it's working, and 
the other part of the cake can be done by someone else amongst fellow 
nagios users/contributors.

 The sad part is that centreon forked three days after Nagios Enterprises
 cancelled the partnership contract with Merethis (the company behind
 centreon). To me, that smells a bit political.

Even if it is, I like their recent patches and overall contributed work 
to Nagios. If there are politics those guys should do that on closed 
doors, and not disturb the way development flows. i did not like that on 
the netways stuff, on the shinken trademark thingies, and if that now 
pops up - well, as said, putting it into the right channels, but not 
nagios-devel imho.

 Thanks for the link though. I've been looking for it but was unable to
 find the download before you posted it. It should be interesting to see
 if they can solve the I/O load problems like someone here at the
 Bolzano conference mentioned they're working on. That's one of my goals
 too, but so far I haven't had time to sit down and think it through
 properly. If they have, we should be able to profit from their work
 quite easily.

Most possible. I'm keen on sharing some of my not-currently-available 
ressources thinking with them about future changes and/or improvements.

 Yes. And no. Shinken is incompatible with all of Nagios' current
 broker modules. Icinga have broken the ABI compatibility, but not to
 the same extent. Shinken has some very neat ideas (and some not so
 neat ones too). Like all good engineers, I'll happily borrow the
 good ones and let the bad ones go hang.

There comes the day in history where an ABI must be broken in order to 
allow the implementation of things you need. Although remaining 
compatible, this is not a good solution, I totally agree on that. Either 
way, Shinken did it right, introducing new things, independent of the 
down below code. Let's see what future might bring on that. 
Communication seems to rather broken in various ways, so let the code 
and releases talk instead, sharing ideas and man power.

Kind regards,
Michael

 Taken, with the exception of the cgi parts. Since the cgi's aren't
 multi-threaded, they don't really need reentrant macro functions
 and the change to them is just churn with no benefit.

Ok - no problem at all. It was just to keep compatibility throughout the 
complete source but in fact you are right.

 I'll take this on good faith, having tested it manually my self. It's
 possible someone else can add a test-case for this in the future,
 which would be a welcome change.

 Expect the patches to show up in svn in a couple of hours when I'm
 on a sane link and can sync properly again.

Thanks - I'll check later on. Now it's time for sun  beer ;-)

 Hi there,

 at the NDOUtils database, it looks like someone tried to rebuild it
 because it is populating with statehistory but the hosts, hostgroups,

make sure config_output_options are set in ndomod.cfg

furthermore, check data_process_options for config data to be dumped 
(and respective nagios.cfg event broker options too)

 I'd like to try to fill these tables in but I don't really understand
 when NDOUtils populates these tables.  I found the original dbconfig
 script but it just creates the schema with no data.  Somehow NDOUtils
 still knows what the ids are for the services because the keys are there
 and I might be able to work backwards and populate everything but
 obviously it would be easier to just understand how ndoutils builds the
 data and reproduce it.

the objects table keeps active objects alive, even if the config is not 
yet dumped.

 Thanks for the help!

 I will set config_output_options=3 and restart the environment.

 How long can I expect to run before all the configuration data gets 
 populated?

that depends on your config size and the interferring housekeeping on 
the overall startup procedure. but most likely when the core starts 
checking hosts and services, the population should be completed either way.
make sure ndo2db is running while restarting/reloading nagios core and 
maybe tail the debug log to see the queries on the tables ...

 My config_output_options are set to 2 however.  From what I have 
 read, this would explain why the rest of my database is not getting 
 populated.  I will assume I have too much load to run at 1 or 3 for 
 long.  What is the correct and lowest impact process for updating 
 the table now?  Set the option to 3, reload ndo2db, then set back to 
 2 and reload again?

 retention data must be enabled in nagios.cfg whilst doing a core 
 restart will dump that data into ndomod. just reloading ndo2db won't 
 affect that, it's the core which is required. if you happen to need 
 original configs, you can use the combined '3' for 
 config_output_options in order to dump both (only difference will be 
 the config_type column then, and those being used will be marked as 
 is_active in the objects table.

 read up here for further information on the table structure ...

 Will this work, or any other better ways of doing it?  Thanks.

Hi,

In fact no. Like Andreas said, Nagios do not even understand what an
IP is. It's just a string for it to be pass to plugins as a macro
(still a string). It will not parse it.

But it's good to have another address6 attribute in the host object in
order to assign 2 addresses, use them via macros and not to depend on
custom variables.

the patch on nagios exchange applies rather clean to nagios upstream.
i've tried that myself whilst patching it into icinga, whereas the ipv6
support is happening thanks to that patch, with some slight enhancements
to classicui and idoutils, but breaking the abi for other modules using
host objects. but i can live with that, having the possibility of easy
to use dualstacked monitoring like described here in the common ipv6
approach:

assign all service definitions with passive checks a checkcommand for

 Why? If the host is reachable via ip6, it's reachable via ip6 and
 that's what you configure. If it's not, you configure ip4 instead.

if you happen to have dualstacked setups in various places, not 
specifically host monitoring, but dependant on the host itsself to 
support the dual stacked way. In my environment, I need a lot of 
diversification between v4 and v6 so it's one of those possible things 
to make the core being aware of the both attributes as well as both 
macros as well as the gui to show and reflect that.

either single checks on each route, or combined and conditional.

 Besides; the kernel automagically translates ip4 addresses to ip6
 ones on ip6 only interfaces, and does the same for ip6 addresses
 on ip4-only ones. It's mentioned in the spec that the protected
 segments for internal use will remain protected in ip6 as well.
 If they weren't, migrating from one to the other would be complete
 hell and damn near impossible without superhuman effort.

it's nice that the kernel does that on the monitoring box (or respective 
where the worker executing the check resides), but as said, when it 
comes to dual stacking, you'll need both addresses. or you'll let your 
nameservers do the trick (or a local resolver), then you wouldn't need 
any forward/reverse translations fixed static by some host attributes. 
but that adds another dependency not always possible/needed/wanted.

 I remain unimpressed. A far cleverer solution would be to have a
 single check run against all non-protected addresses and let that
 plugin look up the ip6 address for the host somewhere else (or
 through a custom variable fetched via livestatus or something, which
 doesn't break the ABI), and then simply report back if any of them
 stop working.

It's not the point what's clever and what might be non-clever. it's all 
about timing constraints and accepting work already done, not having the 
issues to resolve the problem with the well-known workaround trick. sure 
nagios/icinga remains playing lego with the various addons and plugins, 
but as a matter of fact i prefer having it all upstream and available 
throughout the core, and not injected with or by anything else. 
livestatus isn't an option either way, but that's offtopic.

 If this patch had been accompanied by something to make conditional
 macros and command_line arguments work, I'd have cheered all the way
 though.

I don't really get it what you mean - can you explain that a bit more?

kind regards,
Michael

Re: [Nagios-users] pnp4nagios - Hostname not set

Hi guys,

I've followed the install instruction from here 
(http://docs.pnp4nagios.org/pnp-0.4/install) to install pnp4nagios v4 
on my nagios 3.x running on a fedora 14 box but I'm stuck when 
verifying the install.




any specific reason not to use 0.6.x ?

When I do http://servername/Nagios/pnp my first error is 'Hostname is 
not set' followed by 'perfdata folder is empty' and 'no rrd files'


I've looked and sure enough there are no rrd files in the folder, plus 
there is no entry in the log file.


To me this suggests that Nagios isn't firing the command 
'process-service-perfdata' after completing a check.


My commands.cfg file looks correct;

# Added by Tristan for PNP 4 Nagios

define command {

 command_nameprocess-service-perfdata

 command_line/usr/local/nagios/libexec/process_perfdata.pl

}

define command {

 command_nameprocess-host-perfdata

 command_line/usr/local/nagios/libexec/process_perfdata.pl 
-d HOSTPERFDATA


}

And so is my Nagios.cfg file;

process_performance_data=1

host_perfdata_command=process-host-perfdata

service_perfdata_command=process-service-perfdata

these tow are the only things I've changed from the default install.

Any ideas what I've missed??

Any tips on how I can drill down further to see what's not happing and 
why?


Thanks in advance J

Regards,

 Tristan Drinkwater

Re: [Nagios-users] IPv6 support

Andreas Ericsson wrote:
 Not really. You can still achieve the exact same functionality with
 custom variables. What Michael has done is to make one such custom
 variable official, which breaks the ABI. He still has to use special
 plugins to check both ip4 and ip6 addresses at the same time, which is
 why I think it's quite stupid.

the dual check affinity only takes place in the host checking currently 
(where it does make sense to combine it with check_multi or any other 
conditional check wrapper). for other purposes you can still define your 
own checks and services, especially tagged as PING4 and PING6 e.g. - 
but no need to play around with get the 4 or 6 address from somewhere 
for the commandline, but just take the §HOSTADRESS(6)$ macros and be 
happy as it was demanded.

don't get me wrong, i know that abi changes and such make developer's 
going mad. but from a users perspective this was one of the things 
demanded the most. at least within the range of those sysadmins already 
running ipv4 and ipv6 in their productive environments. even more, those 
virtual appliances and clustered setups would need an even more in deep 
rewrite, but that's another story (service sets might be a good attempt 
for that).

 You can, but with custom variables. How many official addresses should
 Nagios support? 3? 5? Soon we'll run into someone who wants more than
 that, and then we're left with breaking the ABI again. And again. And
 again. Breaking the ABI causes major headaches for module developers and
 users. Custom variables don't break the ABI and causes minor headaches
 for people with complex environments, who hopefully get paid quite a
 lot to handle such complexities in an elegant way. Nagios makes that
 possible, while making the normal case (ip4 *or* ip6) possible.

using custom variables within the default nagios gui remains impossible 
to be shown and used without hacking c code. making it available would 
either cost to allow custom variables to be shown (what regex might be 
good to show only those? is it really custom then? etc) rather than just 
supporting the address6 host attribute - which remains implemented by a 
community members, tested by various and demanded by lots of.

 So give _address6 official status *in the ui*. Or make a config item
 that lets users specify which custom variables to show in the UI. Or
 show all of them by default. That's a change that actually makes sense,
 would have been far less intrusive and would have made very nearly
 everyone happy (especially the configure which you want to see, with
 a general switch to show all and then include/exclude parameters to
 filter passwords and whatnot out of the UI). Wasn't that the real
 reason behind the patches in the first place? That's at least the only
 real unique benefit from this over using custom vars.

 The problem here is actually laziness and possibly poor maintenance.
 When presented with the patch, you need to ask the submitter; What
 purpose does this patch serve and why is it so generally important
 that we have to break the ABI? Given some prodding, you would have
 found out that the user really just wants to see a special custom
 variable in the web-interface. Achieving that is basically peanuts,
 given half a day and a junior coder fresh out of kindergarten, so
 it's quite likely the submitter could have been persuaded to rewrite
 the patch like that so it would have been easy to maintain it. It
 would also have made it acceptable in the Nagios core and would have
 made life easier for those broker module authors that actually care
 about supporting Icinga and for the users that use modules with it.

 That turned a bit harsh there. Sorry about that.

conclusion - you won't accept such patches, i can live with the extra 
work they will cause. even with addons staying compatible with icinga 
but not supprting the address6 field. everything else still remains 
compatible and tested. but that's not the point within nagios related stuff.
there are other nagios patches pending, still breaking the abi (see some 
of opsviews patches and those from nagios-devel) which will make a 
change happen somewhere in the future. so maybe after a while users 
demand (even those from your customers), and it will hit nagios too. 
until then, let's just ask people out there what they really want and 
how *they* would achieve that. either live with it, patch it or even pay 
for it.

 Why not just have a /usr/local/nagios/etc/ipv6.txt

 and a ping.sh that look in this file for the ipv4 address and get a ipv6
 andress and ping6 that address?

sure that's one of those workarounds. i wouldn't mind dropping it when 
it comes to performance issues (e.g. having a long list in it being 
parsed) resulting in check latencies.
but that#s truly another story.

 Sure. If there was some way to configure Nagios so that certain command
 arguments were only expanded if the number of arguments to the check
 matches a certain criteria, one could write checks that don't pass half
 baked argument strings to the plugins, and the complexity would be
 handled in one place. That would actually gain something, rather than
 making address6 an official variable, which gains nothing compared
 to using a custom variable, but breaks the abi even so.
