 Hello,

You cannot have two definitions with the same [name], they must be  
unique.

 My intention is to monitor disk usage on the partitions /var/opt/BGw/ 
 Server1 and /var/opt/mediation/ora. This is not working yet. When I  
 log into the Nagios web interface on the monitoring server, I do not  
 see any details (alerts and warnings) to do with the above mentioned  
 partitions.

When reporting problems, please report what you _do_ see. It's often  
much more useful than what you _don't_ see. I went to drive to work  
this morning but didn't see my car isn't very informative but   
Instead, I saw a giant ball of fire in the shape of a car is much  
more helpful. Also include the full, complete host{} and service{}  
definitions for the problem service. You can get them from  
objects.cache if you don't want to expand templates you may be using  
yourself.

 If I run on the monitored host, I get some info;

 bash-3.00# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_disk -w 30% -c 20% -p / 
 var/opt/BGw/Server1 -p /var/opt/mediation/ora
 DISK OK - free space: /var/opt/BGw/Server1 16937 MB (31%

 ora=5323MB;10997;12568;0;15711

a) Never test plugins as root. Nagios doesn't run them as 'root' and  
you're likely to see permissions differences that send you down the  
completely wrong troubleshooting path.
b) When testing something like this, verify you can run your  
check_nrpe command definition successfully for this check, from the  
nagios machine, as the nagios user.

  Hi all,
 
  I'm trying to configure nagios 3.0.6 so that I can add contact groups to
 a host by adding a host template to the host definition.
 
  I have one host template called 'unix-host' that I'm using to aggregate
 the Unix Team contacts into a template. I have another host template called
 'oncall-host' that I'm using to represent people on call 24x7. If a host is
 critical enough that the on-call people should be alerted if it goes down, I
 want to be able to add the 'oncall-host' host template as a template for the
 critical host, have the 'unix-host' host template as another template for
 the host, and have nagios alert both the people on call and the Unix Team
 admins if the host goes down. The on-call people should be alerted by SMS
 and email every 5 minutes, but the Unix Team admins are should only be
 alerted by email every 10 minutes.
 
  I have an email server called 'doris' that is currently down, and is
 configured as specified below. What's happening is that the on-call people
 are being alerted by SMS and email every 10 minutes (which is as it should
 be), but the Unix Team admins aren't being alerted at all. If I remove the
 'oncall-host' template from the host definition, the Unix Team admins are
 alerted by email as they should be.
 
  Can anyone suggest how I might get the alerting working, and still be
 able to just add the 'oncall-host' template as a template for a critical
 host? Perhaps it would be better to do this with hostgroups?
 
  Here are all my definitions... sorry if it's a bit convoluted:
 
  Here's the host definition for the host in question:
  define host {
  host_name   doris
  alias   doris email server
  address 192.168.2.25
  parents sw-l3-mail
  use oncall-host,unix-host
  register1
  }
 
  'unix-host' host template:
  define host {
 name   unix-host
 aliasUnix Team host template
 use  generic-host
 contact_groups +unix-admin
 register   0
  }
 
  'oncall-host' host template:
  define host {
 name oncall-host
 aliasHost template for
 critical hosts
 use  generic-host
 contact_groups   oncall-primary
 notification_interval5
 register 0
  }

 Adding a + before oncall-primary in oncall-host to specify that it
 should be added to the list of contacts, rather than to replace it
 completely, should give you what you want.

[Nagios-users] Active host check scheduling in a distributed environment

2009-07-14 Thread Paul Corcoran

HI,

I run a distributed Nagios environment consisting of 1 parent server and 2
child servers.

The child servers perform all the service checking while the parent server
should be performing active service checks.

The host definitions are configured to perform host checks every 5 minutes.
The retry interval is 1 minute and the max attempts is set to 5.

We are monitoring 580 hosts and approx 4000 services.

I noticed when a host down was detected the parent server did not perform
any retries of the host. This led to the status of the host being stuck in a
SOFT state and therefore no alerts were sent out as required. I noticed that
the child server performed the host checks without any problem and the host
was logged as being in a HARD down state after 5 failed attempts.

Is there a specific variable in nagios.cfg that explicitly tells the server
to perform active checks?

Is it best practice to have the 2 child servers perform passive host checks?
Is it possible that processing all the passive service check info is causing
the parent server to lag behind in it's own process queue?

Thanks for you help.

Paul

Did you add a service on the main nagios host to call the nrpe command 
you just set up?  i.e.,


define service {
service_description Check remote disk space
host_name   the_remote_host
check_command   check_nrpe!check_disk
}

Both the child server and the central server are performing active  
service checks?

 The host definitions are configured to perform host checks every 5

 to 5.

On both or are you submitting passive host checks or are you expecting  
the central machine to initiate it's own active checks of hosts?

 We are monitoring 580 hosts and approx 4000 services.

 I noticed when a host down was detected the parent server did not

I'm not sure what configuration you could have that would lead to  
this. Can you post the host{} definition and any relevant log entries?  
Are you only sending a single passive host result and have  
'passive_host_checks_are_soft' set in nagios.cfg?

 Is there a specific variable in nagios.cfg that explicitly tells the  
 server to perform active checks?

There are a few --
- in nagios.cfg - execute_host_checks=0/1
- in your host definition - active_checks_enabled [0/1], an  
appropriate check_period, check_interval and retry_interval set and an  
appropriate check_command set.

 Is it best practice to have the 2 child servers perform passive host  
 checks?

I have no opinion on this other that to say that if you trust the  
remote nagios' to correctly report on services, they can usually be  
trusted to correctly report on hosts.

 Is it possible that processing all the passive service check info is  
 causing the parent server to lag behind in it's own process queue?

Not likely, IMHO, assuming you're using somewhat modern hardware. You  
can see for sure under Performance Info though. Look for high  
latencies (minutes)... This is a measure of how long after a check was  
scheduled to run that it actually it ran.

Hi Natalie,

'use template-name' just means that the definition should use the values
defined in template-name.

I think this is the relevant page in the documentation:

[Nagios-users] NSCA

Firstly many thanks to all that helped me, I finally got distributed servers
up and running.

It seems that there is a lot of discussion about distributed clusters.
Is there a current discussion forum linked to development for this, and how
do I join it

I would like to return some input and help make future versions of nagios
even better

Cheers

pretty specific detail. On the central server, you essentially just  
need to make sure that passive checks are enabled program-wide and for  
the services you are submitting results for, that nagios is checking  
for external commands and that NSCA is configured to write to nagios'  
external command file. You must have a matching host{} and service{}  
definition for every passive result that you will be submitting.

Re: [Nagios-users] Host Checks Service Checks

2009-07-14 Thread Guy Waugh

Hi Natalie,

You might need a 'check_command' for each of your hosts... like this:

   check_command  check-host-alive

The 'check-host-alive' check command would have to be defined, probably in
your commands.cfg file. The default nagios configuration defines this
command (I think).

This is where it's handy to use templates -- in this case, a host template.
You would define stuff common to every host in your host template (which you
might call 'generic-host'), and have a 'use generic-host' line in each of
your host definitions. That way, you wouldn't have to redefine the same
stuff over and over again for each of your hosts.

It might be worth spending an hour or two reading the official nagios
documentation at this point -- it could save you lots of time. The official
doc table of contents is at:

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/toc.html

Cheers,
Guy.

[Nagios-users] check ping explanation required

2009-07-14 Thread shadih rahman

Nagios uses check_ping for the host check of most hosts.

The check is configured to send only one ping.

So if Nagios receives a response, it is 0% packet loss.

If no response, it is 100% packet loss.


# 'check-host-alive' command definition
define command{
command_namecheck-host-alive
command_line$USER1$/check_ping -H $HOSTADDRESS$ t 45 -4 -w
3000.0,100% -c 3000.0,100% -p 1
}




Yet, Nagios reports:



p...@bway2852-3-1.net.columbia.edu:2009-06-30 23:24:33:PING
OK - Packet loss = 85%, RTA = 47.06 ms



How is it possible for Nagios to lose 85% of one ping?

Hmmm ...

Well, assuming that your command definition got pasted correctly, it 
looks like there's a typo in your command.  It should be -t 45, not t 
45.  So I'd guess that perhaps the plugin is getting messed up by the 
typo and never parsing the -p 1 parm, and so still issuing 5 pings? 
Just a guess though.

Re: [Nagios-users] Monitoring disk usage

 Hello,
 
 I have installed nrpe v2.11 on a monitored host running Solaris 10. An 
 excerpt from nrpe.cfg on the monitored host is as follows;
 
 command[check_disk]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_disk -w 30% -c 15% -p /
 command[check_disk]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_disk -w 30% -c 20% -p

 localhost
 command[check_ftp]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_ftp -t 5
 
 My intention is to monitor disk usage on the partitions /var/opt/BGw/Server1 
 and /var/opt/mediation/ora. This is not working yet. When I log into the 
 Nagios web interface on the monitoring server, I do not see any details 
 (alerts and warnings) to do with the above mentioned partitions.  However, I 
 do see other details like ssh, processes, swap and even those for the / 
 partition.
 
 If I run on the monitored host, I get some info;
 
 bash-3.00# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_disk -w 30% -c 20% -p 
 /var/opt/BGw/Server1 -p /var/opt/mediation/ora
 DISK OK - free space: /var/opt/BGw/Server1 16937 MB (31% inode=94%); 
 /var/opt/mediation/ora 9738 MB (64% inode=99%);| 
 /var/opt/BGw/Server1=36502MB;37990;43417;0;54272 
 /var/opt/mediation/ora=5323MB;10997;12568;0;15711
 
 From my understanding, the output above shows that the check_disk plugin 
 actually works, however on logging into the web interface, there are no 
 details to this effect and also no alerts/warnings at all. How do I get to 
 see the details of these partitions in the web interface including warnings 
 and alerts.

You haven't mentioned anything about configuring Nagios to run a check
against the service you've set up on NRPE. Have you done that part yet?

If you're not sure how, check out the section of the NRPE docs about the
Monitoring Host Setup. That should tell you everything you need to know.

 According to

 can have sub hostgroups.  So in theory he should be able to specify a

[Nagios-users] check_snmp

2009-07-14 Thread SYS ADMIN

It seems that for some reason my new install of nagios 3.0.6 into Debian
lenny has failed to install check_snmp into the
/usr/local/nagios/etc/libexec folder.
It has a multitude of other check_snmp_blah blah, which I am sure are
all based on it, but IT is not there, and several of my plugins call for
check_snmp.

How can I get it there?

hi,

quote

This plugin uses the 'snmpget' command included with the NET-SNMP package.
if you don't have the package installed, you will need to download it from
http://net-snmp.sourceforge.net before you can use this plugin.

/quote

The Net-SNMP package is in debian 'snmp', just install that package
and recomplie the plugins.

Yup, and those are specifically documented. What gives me doubt is  
this from the same page --

Regular expressions can be used in any of the fields used in the  
examples below (host names, hostgroup names, service names, and  
servicegroup names).

note that 'hostgroup_members names' is not specifically mentioned.

Diving into the code, this appears to be handled around line 9154

Since it seems we're starting from square one here, I'd recommend taking
a look at your webserver's configuration, determining what it's using to
authenticate, and following the trail from there. 

There are too many possible answers to your question to be able to give

That is understandable.  What exactly am I looking for in my webservers

Is there a way to reset the password for the Nagios web portal or access?
Not sure how to refer to the web access of Nagios.

[Nagios-users] Dynamically generated service checks

Scratching my head as to how it might be possible to accomplish a 
monitoring task I need to do:

We have a database table of tags.  For each tag we have a process that 
generates a Javascript file and pushes it out to a CDN.  I've 
successfully created a service check to monitor that the process runs 
successfully (by using check_mysql_query to verify that a pushed date 
gets updated on the database table).  But we also need to monitor that 
each of the files exists - and in the correct version - over at the CDN, 
and here's where I'm hitting a wall.

What I'm envisioning is a way whereby I could dynamically generate a 
whole bunch of service checks - one for each tag in the database table. 
  Each service check would then go and download its corresponding file 
from the CDN, parse it, and verify the version number.  In this way, if 
any particular file was missing or the wrong version, we would get a 
Nagios alert on that tag/file.

However, I don't see any clear way to approach this with Nagios.  Near 
as I can tell there doesn't seem to be any way to dynamically generate 
service checks.  From my reading of the docs, every service need to be 
explicitly listed in the config files beforehand.

I was thinking that perhaps having a cron job that generates passive 
checks might be a solution here, but again it looks like I would still 
need to have the service checks defined beforehand in the nagios config 
files, and couldn't just generate them on-the-fly based on the contents 
of the database table.


Anyone have any ideas on how I could accomplish this file monitoring in 
a dynamic fashion?  (Note that alerting on a file-by-file basis is 
needed here; it would not be sufficient to have a single service check 
that monitors and alerts on all of the files.)

TIA,

DR

Re: [Nagios-users] Unable to Login to Nagios

2009-07-14 Thread Mark Gius

Default web access is controlled via apache's basic auth module, using a 
password file.  The default name for this file is htpasswd.  I would 
look in your apache and nagios directories for a file of that name for a 
start.


If you can't find that, look in your apache configs and find the nagios 
configuration file.  Inside there it should define an AuthUserFile.  
You'll want to edit that file.  You should note that the passwords in 
that file are (hopefully) 1-way hashes, so you'll need to replace your 
existing entry with another hashed one (see the 'htpasswd' command for 
doing that).

Is there a way to reset the password for the Nagios web portal or

Since it seems we're starting from square one here, I'd recommend
taking
a look at your webserver's configuration, determining what it's
using to
authenticate, and following the trail from there.

There are too many possible answers to your question to be able to

you an answer without at least a little information about your

Hmm, I'm sure you're really not Kevin Mitnick 

You'll probably find a .htaccess file somewhere on your system. The
exact configuration will vary depending on how you initially installed
nagios. This file will contain a username, a .htpasswd file will contain
the (encrypted) password. 

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.3/misc/password_encryptions.html may give
you some pointers. If you care about understanding why you have a
problem, and how *you* can fix it in future, people on this list will
respond to polite emails. If you only care about results, I'm sure one

Re: [Nagios-users] Dynamically generated service checks

2009-07-14 Thread Matthew Jurgens

I do a similar thing where I dynamically change the service check 
definitions configured into Nagios. You've almost got to this solution 
but say and couldn't just . Not sure why you say that but I'll briefly 
cover what I did. You will need some programming/scripting.


First up in the nagios.cfg file configure either a specific 
configuration file or directory where you will define your dynamic 
service checks

eg cfg_dir=/etc/nagios/dynamic_services or
cfg_file=/etc/nagios/dynamic_services.cfg

Using a file/directory will be dependent on exactly how you need to 
generate your checks.


Then at the point where you know what the service checks will be 
generate the appropriate nagios config file based on what is in the 
database into either your single config file or into one file each in 
the dynamic directory.


You will then need to reload the nagios config and make sure it syntaxes ok.

We do this quite sucessfully. When customers add/delete servers we just 
regenerate the config to match and reload Nagios.

Scratching my head as to how it might be possible to accomplish a 
monitoring task I need to do:


We have a database table of tags.  For each tag we have a process that 
generates a Javascript file and pushes it out to a CDN.  I've 
successfully created a service check to monitor that the process runs 
successfully (by using check_mysql_query to verify that a pushed date 
gets updated on the database table).  But we also need to monitor that 
each of the files exists - and in the correct version - over at the CDN, 
and here's where I'm hitting a wall.


What I'm envisioning is a way whereby I could dynamically generate a 
whole bunch of service checks - one for each tag in the database table. 
  Each service check would then go and download its corresponding file 
from the CDN, parse it, and verify the version number.  In this way, if 
any particular file was missing or the wrong version, we would get a 
Nagios alert on that tag/file.


However, I don't see any clear way to approach this with Nagios.  Near 
as I can tell there doesn't seem to be any way to dynamically generate 
service checks.  From my reading of the docs, every service need to be 
explicitly listed in the config files beforehand.


I was thinking that perhaps having a cron job that generates passive 
checks might be a solution here, but again it looks like I would still 
need to have the service checks defined beforehand in the nagios config 
files, and couldn't just generate them on-the-fly based on the contents 
of the database table.



Anyone have any ideas on how I could accomplish this file monitoring in 
a dynamic fashion?  (Note that alerting on a file-by-file basis is 
needed here; it would not be sufficient to have a single service check 
that monitors and alerts on all of the files.)


TIA,

DR

Re: [Nagios-users] Monitoring Eventlogs on windows server

2009-07-14 Thread Matthew Jurgens


You're almost there. You just need to configure NSClient++ a little more.
http://nsclient.org/nscp/wiki/CheckEventLog

If you jump on our demo site I think there is an example of a check 
command to look through the event log


Go to http://www.smartmon.com.au/, select the demo menu and then access 
it using the demo user/password. Once logged in, click the Manage 
Configs link and you should be able to find the command example on the menu


Why do you ask your question multiple times?

Re: [Nagios-users] Changing the layout of the status map

2009-07-14 Thread Matthew Jurgens

I can't answer your question directly but I know what you are trying to
achieve (with regards to the large public display).
Instead of showing the status map we developed an application that reads
the nagios status.dat file and builds a high level status view of the
monitored environment.
In doing this we get to display the status of business
processes/applications instead of just host status (we could show that
if we wanted to configure it like that), which is often much more
meaningful (and simple) for non-IT staff.

For example the email system might be made up of an external SMTP
server, an internal mail/database server, a SPAM filter server, an
anti-virus scanner etc. We might combine these hosts and all or some of
their services and then rollup the individual statuses to a single
overall status.

Take a look at the following documentation page:
http://www.smartmon.com.au/docs/tiki-index.php?page=High+Level+Statushighlight=high%20level%20status

Take a look at the nagios status.dat file and write your own application
to present the information you need.

Another alternative might be to take a look at Nagvis.

Hi,

I have been running Nagios for while now to monitor the ~150 servers I
look after. Senior management have finally noticed what I have done and
want to use Nagios to display the network status on a large display so
anyone walking past the IT area can see at a glance what is going on
with the network. The only issue with this is I can't get the network
map to fit on a 1080p display without going off the edges thus rendering
the display idea useless.

Is there any way to alter the statusmap cgi page so that the information
boxes at the top of the page are placed at the bottom of the page? Or
alternatively is there any way to alter the scaling factor permanently?

Thanks

Jon
