[Nagios-users] Service is not scheduled to be checked
Dear Nagios users,
I have tried to schedule Nagios to run checks at 23:00-01:00. I defined it
at the time period as such:
define timeperiod{
timeperiod_name midnight
alias Check at night only
sunday 23:00-01:00
monday 23:00-01:00
tuesday 23:00-01:00
wednesday 23:00-01:00
thursday23:00-01:00
friday 23:00-01:00
saturday23:00-01:00
}
and i defined the time period at the service like this (other options
omited):
define service{
check_periodmidnight ; The
service is checked at midnight 23:00 - 01:00
}
I did it yesterday and this morning as i checked Nagios i was surprised
because i see this at the service detail page :
all the Status fields are PENDING
all the Last Check fields are N/A
all the Status Informations are Service is not scheduled to be checked...
What makes me more confused is because when i checked /var/log/messages it
stated that Nagios start running checks at 00:00
and when i checked the trends, the graphic shows that all the plug-in did
their check around 00:00 and returned a state.
Does anyone know why this all happens?
Regards,
Adi Yesaya

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios Looking Glass Permissions
Hi Don, NLG needs the following permissions set for the web-server user: In /server: - read access to the whole directory - write access to ./index In /client: - read access to the whole directory - write access to the root (./) of this directory - write access to ./sync-files - write access to ./cache These permissions should be set for the user your web-server runs as. If you're using Apache, you can search your httpd.conf file for the User xxx directive. Regards Andy.

Re: [Nagios-users] Soft critical state and sound alarms (Jim Avery)
If you are using the Firefox browser, I can recommend the nagioschecker firefox extension which was mentioned here recently. It permits you to filter in various ways what states will be displayed and when sounds will be played. http://code.google.com/p/nagioschecker/ Hi Jim, thanks this could be a valid method. I'm trying its. But I prefer something integrated in nagios that not need any browser plugins... I don't know if this exist...but I was thinking to modify the code of the cgi to avoid to play on SOFT STATE.

[Nagios-users] Notification Question
Hi, I have a criteria that only the first two non-OK Hard State notifications need to be sent out (at whatever the specified interval is). Afterwards, it's enough that it just keeps logging it with Nagios. I thought I could get this done via escalations whereby I set the first escalation to sent an email on warning and all further escalations to send out on OK status. I realized that when you specify states in escalations, the escalations only trigger when the host/service hits that state, otherwise, the default profile values get used. Is there any way I can fulfill this criteria? Maybe there's a way to disable notifications in the regular service definitions but allow them to be sent out on the first two escalations? Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance. Regards, Dimitry ___ This email is intended only for the use of the individual(s) to whom it is addressed and may be privileged and confidential.

[Nagios-users] Sharing local/remote machine .cfg
I am relatively new to Nagios, I am setting up a group of Linux machines that all send reports to a central monitoring one with nsca. I have a separate .cfg file for each machine, I would like to share this file between remote and central machines - so that if I change anything I just copy it over. One change that *is* needed is the value of active_checks_enabled - which is zero on the central box and one on the remote. I tried something like this in a 'define service': active_checks_enabled $USER11$ and elsewhere had: $USER11$=1 or $USER11$=0 as appropriate for the machine. This does not work. Why ? and is there a way of achieving what I want to do ?

[Nagios-users] snmp community option in host definition?
I am faced with the potential of having to monitor different remote networks with primariliy custom perl based snmp checks. The tricky part of this is that different networks may have different SNMP community names. While I could create different service definitions for each different community name or build logic in the script to try multiple names I was kinda surprised I didn't see a community name directive in the host definition specification. I realize nagios a more a monitoring framework and not tied solely to snmp based checks but it seems like it's a worthy item to have as part of the host definition. Maybe it there and I'm just not paying attention, if so I am sure someone will correct me :)..

Subject: [Nagios-users] Sharing local/remote machine .cfg
I am relatively new to Nagios, I am setting up a group of Linux
machines
that
all send reports to a central monitoring one with nsca.
I have a separate .cfg file for each machine, I would like to share
this
file
between remote and central machines - so that if I change anything I
just
copy it over.
One change that *is* needed is the value of active_checks_enabled -
which
is zero
on the central box and one on the remote.
I tried something like this in a 'define service':
active_checks_enabled $USER11$
and elsewhere had:
$USER11$=1
or
$USER11$=0
as appropriate for the machine.
This does not work. Why ? and is there a way of achieving what I want
to
do ?
Macros are only available to command {} definitions. You can't use them
anywhere else.
What I do is to create a template in a new config file (templates.cfg
for example) with the differing values and the hosts/services inherit
that template. Something like --
Central machine -
define host {
namehost-active-checks
active_checks_enabled 1
register 0
}
define service {
name service-active-checks
active_checks_enabled 1
register 0
}
Remote machine -
define host {
namehost-active-checks
active_checks_enabled 0
register 0
}
define service {
name service-active-checks
active_checks_enabled 0
register 0
}
Then your shared file would use
define host {
use host-active-checks
... other host specific stuff ...
}
define service {
use service-active-checks
... other service specific stuff ...
}

Re: [Nagios-users] snmp community option in host definition?
1. N3 will/does support custom macros 2. I've seen (or heard) somewhere patch to add snmp community name to host 3. Many are doing it using hostgroup names and then have a map file with community names loaded from it (and then also not seen when you do ps on the box!!!)

Re: [Nagios-users] Soft critical state and sound alarms (Jim Avery)
Hi Marco, can you show me how do you do that? I will be very happy...If I can avoid to redo what you have already done :-) Can we propose to add this functionality in the new release!

Re: [Nagios-users] snmp community option in host definition?
Off the top of my head, maybe the scripts could be edited so that you
could pass the community string to the script from the service
definition. For example, here's one that I use:
define service{
use chkifoperstatus-service
host_name remote-router
service_description WAN Link 1
check_command check_ifoperstatus!put-
commstring-here!index!
}
Also, I could see some possible security concerns with trying
multiple strings. If someone is sniffing the segment, they could
catch all of your enterprise's strings pretty quickly. Unless you're
using SNMP v3.

While I could create different service definitions for each
different community name or build logic in the script to try
multiple names I was kinda surprised I didn’t see a community name
directive in the host definition specification.
I realize nagios a more a monitoring framework and not tied solely
to snmp based checks but it seems like it’s a worthy item to have
as part of the host definition.
Maybe it there and I’m just not paying attention, if so I am sure
someone will correct me :)..

Re: [Nagios-users] Monitoring a page within a subdirectory.
the check_http will return 200 (ok) if it was able to download the URL. You can also add a -s text or --string=text to return OK only if the string is found in the downloaded HTML. You'd probably want to setup a specific command for check_http searching for content as opposed to checking just for a 200. _sean Jake Solid wrote: How can I monitor a page within a subdirectory on a web server?

Re: [Nagios-users] snmp community option in host definition?
Thanks for all who gave immediate feedback on having a snmp community option in nagios. It's good to know N3 will have the custom macro support, I am already doing some testing to see of the configuration interface my client is using will be able to play nicely with Nagios 3.x so the custom macro support is a definite plus. Deriving community names by fetching the hostgroup name also sounds like a creative solution, I keep configuration data in the database and the filesystem so I could grab the hostgroup from either, I just haven't had a reason to fetch that information before. Thanks again for the helpful feedback.

Re: [Nagios-users] Perf data / Graphs
Arno,
Then post, for example, the output you get for the memory checks, and
I'll see how a regex should look that matches parts of the output.
This is the output I get in nagios.log:
[1181921420] Warning: Service performance data command 'echo
'server01\tMemuse\tMemory usage: total:4485.60 Mb - used: 1452.13 Mb (32%) -

5667' for service 'Memuse' on host 'server01' timed out after 5 seconds
And this is what ngraph./log shows:
2007-06-15 11:35:14 PIPE: server01 Memuse Memory usage: total:4485.60
Mb - used: 1502.13 Mb (33%) - free: 2983.46 Mb (67%)Memory

2007-06-15 11:35:14 REGEX: 4 blocks for 'Memuse' found.
2007-06-15 11:35:14 REGEX: graph_value=Memory usage
2007-06-15 11:35:14 REGEX: output=perfdata
2007-06-15 11:35:14 REGEX: regex=m/Memory usage=([0-9]+)Mb/i
2007-06-15 11:35:14 REGEX: perfdata=Memory

2007-06-15 11:35:14 REGEX: NO MATCH.
2007-06-15 11:35:14 VALUES: [server01][Memuse]:No matching perfdata values
found...
The first part of check_ntmem.ncfg looks like this (there is more but it is
pretty long):
define ngraph {
graph_legend Memory Used
graph_perf_regex Memory usage=([0-9]+)Mb
graph_value Memory usage
hide yes
rrd_color 00a000
rrd_plottype AREA
service_name Memuse
}
I use check_nt to monitor windows hosts, and the plugins return stuff like
CPU Load 23% (5 min average) | '5 min avg Load'=23%;80;90;0;100
which is captures by the following ngraph configuration:
define ngraph{
service_nameWindows Load
graph_perf_regex=(\d+)%;
graph_value load
graph_units CPU Usage %
graph_legendavg load
rrd_plottypeAREA
rrd_color EACC00
}
The regex gets the digits between = and %, which is stored in the
rrd file.
I will definitely try that, thanks.
I'm still unsure where exactly your problem is... is it understanding
how to capture numbers from the plugin output? Or is it in setting up
all the graphical elements you want?
Correct that is right on the spot.
(Note that this is not meant as an advertisement, but rather as a last
resort solution for Palle!)
Are you kidding??
No.
I appreciate the help you are giving, and sharing your experience, and
apologies for misunderstanding.
Thanks,
- Palle

[Nagios-users] Plugin that will test nagios.cfg
I'm looking for a plugin that will check if the nagios.cfg is ok. So besecauly run this command: /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg. Is there a plugin for this? I want this because I reload the nagios config every 15 minutes through a cronjob. And I want to be notified if there is a error in the config. The reason of using a cronjob is that custom programs populate/change my .cfg files - This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.

Re: [Nagios-users] Perf data / Graphs
Hi,
Palle Jensen schrieb:
Arno,
Then post, for example, the output you get for the memory checks, and
I'll see how a regex should look that matches parts of the output.
This is the output I get in nagios.log:
[1181921420] Warning: Service performance data command 'echo
'server01\tMemuse\tMemory usage: total:4485.60 Mb - used: 1452.13 Mb (32%) -
free: 3033.47 Mb (68%)\tMemory
usage=1452.13Mb;3588.48;4037.04;0.00;4485.60\n' | nc6 -u -w 3 localhost
5667' for service 'Memuse' on host 'server01' timed out after 5 seconds
Ok... I assume that what you want is the amount of used memory. This
is uniquely enclosed between 'used: ' and ' Mb' and it's a decimal number.
And this is what ngraph./log shows:
2007-06-15 11:35:14 PIPE: server01Memuse Memory usage: total:4485.60
Mb - used: 1502.13 Mb (33%) - free: 2983.46 Mb (67%) Memory
usage=1502.13Mb;3588.48;4037.04;0.00;4485.60
2007-06-15 11:35:14 REGEX: 4 blocks for 'Memuse' found.
2007-06-15 11:35:14 REGEX: graph_value=Memory usage
2007-06-15 11:35:14 REGEX: output=perfdata
2007-06-15 11:35:14 REGEX: regex=m/Memory usage=([0-9]+)Mb/i
This line looks for digits between '...usage=' and 'Mb', which is not
the format your plugin produces.
2007-06-15 11:35:14 REGEX: perfdata=Memory
usage=1502.13Mb;3588.48;4037.04;0.00;4485.60
2007-06-15 11:35:14 REGEX: NO MATCH.
2007-06-15 11:35:14 VALUES: [server01][Memuse]:No matching perfdata values
found...
Logical result, then.
The first part of check_ntmem.ncfg looks like this (there is more but it is
pretty long):
define ngraph {
graph_legend Memory Used
graph_perf_regex Memory usage=([0-9]+)Mb
Try this line instead:
graph_perf_regexused: (\d+\.\d+) Mb
I think that should work. And I guess you see how his works, at least
basically. Some understanding of regular expressions IS helpful here.
graph_value Memory usage
hide yes
rrd_color 00a000
rrd_plottype AREA
service_name Memuse
}
I use check_nt to monitor windows hosts, and the plugins return stuff like
CPU Load 23% (5 min average) | '5 min avg Load'=23%;80;90;0;100
which is captures by the following ngraph configuration:
define ngraph{
service_nameWindows Load
graph_perf_regex=(\d+)%;
graph_value load
graph_units CPU Usage %
graph_legendavg load
rrd_plottypeAREA
rrd_color EACC00
}
The regex gets the digits between = and %, which is stored in the
rrd file.
I will definitely try that, thanks.
I think it won't fit to your plugin :-(
I'm still unsure where exactly your problem is... is it understanding
how to capture numbers from the plugin output? Or is it in setting up
all the graphical elements you want?
Correct that is right on the spot.
Well, the graphs are a little different. Most of the commands are more
or less directly passed to rrdtoll, so you'll need to read the man
pages for that beast. The command format is a little too cryptic for
me to get useful results without lots of trial and error :-)
(Note that this is not meant as an advertisement, but rather as a last
resort solution for Palle!)
Are you kidding??
No.
I appreciate the help you are giving, and sharing your experience, and
apologies for misunderstanding.
No worries, as the Aussies are said to say :-)

But if you mean authentication within a windows AD domain. Maybe Samba can

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios HTTP monitoring
More importantly, can I just specify a URL to check? The default site on
the server in question directs you to CRM which requires auth. However on
the same server we have an intranet site which doesn't require
authorization. How would I go about just checking the intranet URL?

Wouldn't it be better to check this in the cron job itself? Nagios
won't help you much if it crashes because of a broken config.
The cron job could, naturally, report problems as passive results to
Nagios...
Nagios will never crash because of a broken config if it's running;
it just won't load that config. Checking from a cron job works, too,
but there's no reason Nagios can't also check to see if the on-disk
config is valid.
Not true. I noticed more than once that nagios would bail out on
restarts with broken configs (with versions ranging between 2.0 beta to
2.4) and I just verified with v2.7.
About the other problem, why not have the scripts restart nagios
themselves after checking that the config isn't broken? As it was
mentioned in another thread just use the return status:
#!/bin/bash
if nagios -v nagios.cfg; then
killall -HUP nagios
else
echo Nagios config is broken!
exit 1
fi
#!/usr/bin/perl
`nagios -v nagios.cfg`;
if ($?) {
die(Nagios config is broken!);
}
killall -HUP nagios
If you have different scripts running you can also write a standalone
script that does the job. It could also send back the result to Nagios.
