[Nagios-users] Nagios Core and SMS alerts (or lack of) through Nagios

2011-11-11 Thread Andrew Thompson
Hi all,

Im at my wits end.
Spent 2 days now trying to get Nagios to SMS me through gnokii but a lunar 
eclipse is a more frequent event!

So i have Ubuntu 11.04 installed using postfix to email me alerts (works 
flawlessly)

Now i also want a text message as a failover incase my Exchange server or 
internet line goes down.

I have installed and configured gnokii to what i think is at a functioning 
level.
I have a Nokia 6301 mobile hooked up to Ubuntu via USB cable.

I can send a text message out through the phone via the CLI no issue at all 
with both my admin user logged in and also when i log in as the nagios user so 
i know i have the correct permissions on the ttyACM0 port that is assigned to 
the 6301.

Will Nagios send an SMS - will it f*£$!!

Here is my command.cfg relevant part

# 'notify-host-by-sms' command definition
define command{
command_name notify-host-by-sms
command_line /usr/bin/printf %.120s * Nagios * $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$: 
Host $HOSTALIAS$ is $HOSTSTATE$ | /usr/bin/gnokii --sendsms $CONTACTPAGER$
}

# 'notify-service-by-sms' command definition
define command{
command_name notify-service-by-sms
command_line /usr/bin/printf %.120 * Nagios * 
$HOSTALIAS$/$SERVICEDESC$ is $SERVICESTATE$ | /usr/bin/gnokii --sendsms 
$CONTACTPAGER$
}


Here is my contact.cfg

define contact{
contact_name MYNAME
use generic-contact
alias MYNAME
host_notification_options d,u,r,f
service_notification_options w,u,c,r,f
email MYEMAIL
pager +44X
host_notification_period 24x7
service_notification_period 24x7
host_notification_commands notify-host-by-email,notify-host-by-sms
service_notification_commands notify-service-by-email,notify-service-by-sms

Here is my templates.cfg

define contact{
name generic-contact
service_notification_period 24x7
host_notification_period 24x7
service_notification_options w,u,c,r,f,s
host_notification_options d,u,r,f,s
service_notification_commands notify-service-by-email, notify-service-by-sms
host_notification_commands notify-host-by-email, notify-host-by-sms
register 0
}

what can be going on - why will nagios not SMS me? Its got to be a nagios 
config issue and not gnokii error as I can send text through CLI fine,

Please help me, im going insane

Thanks

Kind Regards
Andrew

Re: [Nagios-users] How to route data from multiple nagios core nodes to a nagiosxi node?

 basically want to replace MNTOS w/ a nagiosXI machine — so that I can
 utilize its features as a dashboard and reporting node for all the
 data I receive at each nagios core server.

 Basically, I want to set up a hub and spoke w/ a nagiosXI machine at
 the hub and all my nagios core boxes as spokes.
 I looked into DNX but this looks like it distributes the checks in a
 different way. Any ideas?
 I'm not as familiar with XI as I'd like, but based on the demos and the
 docs, I think NSCA will do just fine. I believe the configuration would
 be exactly the same as with a normal Nagios Core install.

If you want to simply forward all of your results to a Nagios XI 
machine, you can define an OCSP command for all of your services and 
forward them along to the XI box.  Nagios XI has a feature in the 
Admin-Unconfigured Objects menu that allows you to automatically add 
passive hosts and services that are inbound.  Here are some docs with 
more details.

If you've got additional Nagios XI specific questions, go ahead and post 
them to our forum.

[Nagios-users] service checks could not be rescheduled properly.

2011-11-11 Thread Julian_Grunnell
Hi - does anyone know the answer to the following errors I'm getting in 
the nagios.log for a handful of hosts that have a specific timeperiod for 
checks set.

[Wed Nov  9 23:46:00 2011] Warning: Check of service 'DEAL SERVER SERVICE 
TCP 4099' on host 'TDUKUBS02' could not be rescheduled properly.

Scheduling check for next week...

Obviously this is causing major issues as checks are just not being 
carried out as expected, the hosts / services are defined as follows:

define host{

}

It all looks ok to me, if I manually re-schedule the check above it will 
run fine but when it comes to the check being carried out as defined by 
the timeperiod above again it will not run and then get scheduled for the 
following week.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks - Julian.

If the timeout errors result in an UNKNOWN state, then you can
configure your ordinary users (for example) to receive only WARNING,
CRITICAL and RECOVERY notifications, but your Nagios administrator
users only to receive UNKNOWN and FLAPPING notifications.  That is set
for all notifications for that contact though.

For example:

define contact {
  contact_name  luciano_lanza
  aliasordinary user Luciano Lanza
  host_notification_options  d,r
  service_notification_options  w,c,r
  email  lla...@hotmael.com
  }

define contact {
  contact_name  gustavo_machado
  alias Nagios Admin G. Machado
  host_notification_options  u,f
  service_notification_options  u,f
  email  gmach...@hotmael.com
  }


Note that the check_nt plugin will only result in UNKNOWN on timeout
if you specify the -u or --unknown-timeout option.

Unfortunately some other plugins do set status to UNKNOWN on timeout
but others don't.

With some checks, it helps to set max_check_attempts to 3 or more so
that if the plugin times out only once or twice then Nagios will not
send a notification.


Cheers, and welcome!

Jim

if it's a timeout generated catched by alarm signal on the core, there 
might be a possibility. but still this would require some code patching 
in nagios itsself.


 Can i config a way to if the monitoring works fine send normally the 
 email, if it happends a time out exception send this erro for me to 
 see what happends.

below [1] is a mail to nagios-devel about 2 years ago (one of those long 
lasting patches for nagios never been applied), which allows to change 
the default state.

if you happen to change that to unknown, you could assign special 
contacts only to be notified on unknown state - beware: all other 
unknowns get to them too - and therefore being notified on service check 
timeouts.

a native vanilla solution might be a wrapper around the notification 
script to check if $SERVICEOUTPUT$ contains Timeout or similar, and 
check that against $NOTIFICATIONRECEPIENTS$.
current problem is that $NOTIFICATIONRECIPIENTS$ macro holds the wrong 
information about notified contacts (instead all contacts are placed in 
there). if core devs resolve #98 (patch already sent - see [0]) this 
might be a possible solution to create a proxy wrapper and only pass 
timeout notifications to some contacts based on the notification 
receipients.

kind regards,
michael

  Subject: [Nagios-devel] [PATCH] add service_check_timeout_state
  configuration variable
  Date: Tue, 09 Feb 2010 13:34:36 -0500
  From: Bill McGonigleb...@bfccomputing.com
  Reply-To: Nagios Developers Listnagios-de...@lists.sourceforge.net
  Organization: BFC Computing, LLC
  To: nagios-de...@lists.sourceforge.net

  Hi, all,

  This patch adds a variable called 'service_check_timeout_state' which
  allows the admin to define the state that is returned when a service
  check times out.

  I look after a handful of nagios installations and the #1 complaint is
  of 'false alarms', which typically result from the machine that nagios
  is running on getting bogged down by some unrelated process (backups,
  etc., nagios doesn't usually get its own machine in a small business)
  and thus a 'critical' state is thrown, and too often everybody gets
  paged in the middle of the night (we page on critical).

  Nagios has had the #ifdef SERVICE_CHECK_TIMEOUTS_RETURN_UNKNOWN
  available for re-compiling, which works, but then those users are unable
  to keep up with their distro's updates and it may be beyond the skill of
  many.

  This patch moves that idea into a variable, allows any of four states to
  be chosen ('critical' remaining the default), and does away with the
  #ifdef (which should be obsolete now).

  I've been running with my in-house nagios set to 'u', and so far no
  late-nite false alarms, though I can't say it's had extensive field
  testing.  This is also the first time I've done any nagios hacking
  (though I don't do much in c these days, the code was very easy to
  follow - kudos).

  Here's some suggested text for the sample config file:

  ---8---8---8

  # SERVICE CHECK TIMEOUT STATE
  # This setting determines the state Nagios will report when a
  # service check times out - that is does not respond within
  # service_check_timeout seconds.  This can be useful if a
  # machine is running at too high a load and you do not want
  # to consider a failed service check to be critical (the default).
  # Valid settings are:
  # c - Critical (default)
  # u - Unknown
  # w - Warning
  # o - OK

  service_check_timeout_state=c

  ---8---8---8

  and the patch follows (the format I have in my rpm file, not sure how to
  use git yet).

  Thanks,
  -Bill

[Nagios-users] limt privilages on fusion

2011-11-11 Thread Robert J Molerio
Hi guys,

Is there a way to NOT have a user access any nagios XI servers from a
nagios Fusion server?
I set up a test user and when I log in as hiom and navigate over to the
server credentials page he can log into the XI servers as the nagiosadmin.

Hi,

 You bound nrpe on your loopback interface.
 You have to enter the IP of your network interface connected to the rest of
 the world and restart nrpe.

Yes, I was experimenting and realized this afterwards.

The real problem turned out to be an incorrect firewall rule blocking access.

The problem I'm still having now, however, is with logging on the
client. I have debug=1, but there is nothing written to syslog. It
writes the startup messages, but never any messages indicating the
server had queried it:

Nov 10 20:02:58 fc14 nrpe[606]: Caught SIGTERM - shutting down...
Nov 10 20:02:58 fc14 nrpe[606]: Daemon shutdown
Nov 10 20:02:58 fc14 nrpe[9330]: INFO: SSL/TLS initialized. All
network traffic will be encrypted.
Nov 10 20:02:58 fc14 nrpe[9331]: Starting up daemon
Nov 10 20:02:58 fc14 nrpe[9331]: Listening for connections on port 5666
Nov 10 20:02:58 fc14 nrpe[9331]: Allowing connections from: 127.0.0.1,64.XX.XX.2

Is there something further that needs to be done for it to log other
status messages?

Thanks,
Alex
