[Nagios-users] Where to store plugins in a standard nagios3 installation
Hi, I'm testing nagios 3 on ubuntu 10.04. I've downloaded a plugin from nagios exchange, but where the file must be in order to be run? Particularly, I've downloaded check_cisco.pl from nagios exchange, and I've put it in /usr/lib/nagios/plugins I've also given a chmod 0755, and chown root:root. The problem is taht it is not recognized, i.e. in a .cfg file I've used it as check_command .pl check_cisco -h $HOSTADDRESS$ -c public -i BRI0 but when I do a /etc/init.d/nagios3 restart I have the following error: Error: Host check command 'check_cisco.pl -h $HOSTADDRESS$ -c public -i BRI0/0/0:1' specified for host 'ISDNRouter' is not defined anywhere!

[Nagios-users] Monitoring traffic
Hi, I'd need to keep traffic on a UMTS router monitored, i.e. I'd need to set up something that counts bytes passed and gives an alarm when a particular thresold is reached. The router gives no SNMP information about it. Is there any other way to do that with nagios? Thanks -- This SF.net email is sponsored by Sprint What will you do first with EVO, the first 4G phone?

It is possible to send a string from the router to a particular port of a remote server. Is there any way to make nagios act as a tcp server so it receives notifications about it?

[Nagios-users] Acquiring data from a log
Hi, I need to acquire data from a log, parse if and, if a particular condition is met, notify the problem, otherwise just have on nagios the condition. I.e. if number of record (parsed from log) exceeds 1000, trigger an email, otherwise just have on nagios web page "Processed 123 records" I have written a script that extracts and parse the data, so I can do inside it if [ $RESULT = 0 ] then echo "No records processed" exit 0 elif [ $RESULT -gt $THRESOLD ] then echo "CRITICAL: $RESULT records processed" exit 2 else echo "NORMAL: $RESULT records processed" exit 0 fi where RESULT is the result of the computation and $THRESOLD is passed on command line. I have the following questions: 1) How can I see whether the command is run? 2) How can I see which results are passed to nagios? 3) How can I pass both exit values and the string echoed?

Sure, but it's too complicate for me, and I'm not a perl guru. Anyway, the script is ready and works when run from command line. >> 3) How can I pass both exit values and the string echoed? >echo "This is output that will show up in the Nagios web UI" >exit 3 Why returning 3, i.e. STATE_UNKNOWN Basically, what I need is to look on the host detail web page and have the number of the processed records. Then, if this value exceeds a limit, that could be passed via command line, the script exits with exit value 2 = STATE_CRITICAL in nagios. Otherwise it exits with 0 = STATE_OK. How can I do this, provided that I have a working script that gives me those values?

[Nagios-users] Handling different states
Hi all, I've written a plugin that looks for number of record processed. If they are below the thresold, it writes to stdout 'All OK' and exit with code 0. If thet are above it writes "Too many records" and exits with code 2, and this event triggers a mail notification with Down as problem, and "Too many records" as info. All is working fine. What I'd need is to handle a third situation: no records processed. Assuming I may trigger the condition in the same script: 1) How can I notify Nagios of this event? Using a different exit code? 2) How can I modify Nagios notification, so I don't have a problem Down, but something else, say "Resource hog"?

[Nagios-users] Trigger notification mail
Hi, I have written a plugin that counts the number of transaction on a system and sends a notification mail if this number exceeds a thresold. I'd like to trigger an email that on a daily basis sends the number of transaction, whatever the number is, i.e. a scheduled event. Is this possible? I have thought I could use scheduled downtimes, but AFAIK there is no way to say "scheduled downtime is every day". Therefore, how can I achieve this, i.e. how can I trigger a notification every day, regardless of the status?
