[Nagios-users] Nagios check frequency
Hello Nagios users, I would like Nagios to increase the check frequency once the service is in a critical state. For example, if a check has a frequency of every 60 minutes, once it has reached a critical state, I want the check frequency to run at, say, every 10 minutes until the check has reached an OK state. I have set the max_check_attempts to three, and wanted to know if this is the case when nrpe times out. Does it check nrpe checks 3 times even if it times out on the first attempt? Thanks in advance for your help. Wadud. -- Try before you buy = See our experts in action! The most comprehensive online learning library for Microsoft developers is just $99.99!

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios check frequency
Hi Andreas, Thanks for the reply. The retry_interval will retry to ensure the service is actually down, which is the case here. This is set to three in my configuration. However, once it exceeds retry_interval and the service is deemed as not-OK, it is then that I want it to increase the check frequency. I couldn't find anything in the documentation.

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios check frequency
Hi Wadud copy/paste: External Command Check Interval Format: command_check_interval=xxx[s] Example: command_check_interval=1 If you specify a number with an s appended to it (i.e. 30s), this is the number of seconds to wait between external command checks. If you leave off the s, this is the number of time units to wait between external command checks. Unless you’ve changed the interval_length value (as defined below) from the default value of 60, this number will mean minutes. Note: By setting this value to -1, Nagios will check for external commands as often as possible. Each time Nagios checks for external commands it will read and process all commands present in the command file before continuing on with its other duties. More information on external commands can be found here.

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios check frequency
Wadud, Surely, a check frequency of 60 minutes is not a good idea since, it could be that the node has been down for an hour before anyone knows anything about it ? I would recommend checking every 10 minutes to start with since that is the frequency you'd want to check if it was a NON-OK status anyway. You can set your notifications to be a longer period between checks which is how I configure Nagios. We check a database every 20 minutes for example, for RAM usage, but only notify every 4 hours. So, users still get the initial alert that ram usage has breached a threshold but are only reminded every 4 hours. And of course, if there is a recovery to an OK status within that 4 hours, users would be emailed as well. It works well for us and doesn't bombard users with emails either which means they are less likely to filter nagios alerts into the Deleted email folder. Of course, you probably have an excellent reason for only checking every 60 minutes which I haven't thought of so this is really just my tuppence worth!

Rab,
if I've understood correctly then you can query a Windows performance counter.
I use an entry in the NSClient++ config file in the [External Alias]
section that looks like this:-
alias_CheckCounter-ts_act_sess=CheckCounter
Counter:sessions=\Terminal Services\Active Sessions ShowAll
MaxWarn=40 MaxCrit=50
Then on the Nagios side, the command is simply check_nrpe -H
thehostname -c alias_CheckCounter-ts_act_sess
So the command definition in Nagios is:-
define command{
command_namecheck_nrpe
command_line$USER1$/check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -u $ARG1$
}
And the service definition looks something like this:-
define service{
use srv-pnp,generic-service
host_name myhost
service_description TS_Active_Sessions
check_command check_nrpe!-c ts_act_sess
notes Number of Terminal Services Active Sessions
contact_groupsnotify-engineers
}
There are lots of similar ways to do this sort of think using
NSClient++. Precisely how you set it up depends a bit on how
obsessive you are about security and your particular preference.
The method shown above means you can have allow_arguments=0 and
allow_nasty_meta_chars=0 in the [nrpe] section which is good for
security. The downside is that if you need to change the warning
theshold, you have to edit the nsc.ini file on the target system.
hth,
Jim

There's also an existing plugin for this: check_user_count.bat

However I suggest to use checkCounter, as Jim Avery mentioned it. That way
you keep independent of additional files.

Managed to get some output, but not what I expected:

so without adding the contact_groups to the service, its contacts are
'contact_group1' and 'contact_group2'
When adding the contact_groups to the service (with or without the +), its
contact groups are are just 'extra_group'
if there is a 'contacts' defined for the host the services:
When adding the contact_groups to the service (with or without the +), contacts
end up being 'contact1', 'extra_group'
Should the + or Additive Inheritance not make the service have
'contact_group1'
, 'contact_group2' and 'extra_group'?

[Nagios-users] Nagios is sending critical false alerts about current users
Hello All, Nagios seems to be sending false alerts about few hosts, (ex: There were no users on one host and still Nagios was reporting a critical alert and says 6 users are logged in. How do I fix this one? Also, I have installed nagios and added 12 hosts as a start and monitoring few details on them, how do I send false alerts and check if they are being reported through nagios server?

Re: [Nagios-users] ndomod: Still unable to connect to data sink
Can you provide some information about your configuration , it might shed some light on your problem? Is the data base active ? did you specify the scheme as specified in the NDO documentation ?

For example, if a check has a frequency of every 60 minutes, once it has reached a critical state, I want the check frequency to run at, say, every 10 minutes until the check has reached an OK state. Use retry_interval. I have set the max_check_attempts to three, and wanted to know if this is the case when nrpe times out. Does it check nrpe checks 3 times even if it times out on the first attempt? That depends on how you've configured it. Timeouts doesn't matter in the slightest for Nagios' scheduling logic though, so it will run the check 3 times if that's what you've configured. -- Andreas Ericsson andreas.erics...@op5.se OP5 AB www.op5.se Tel: +46 8-230225 Fax: +46 8-230231 Considering the successes of the wars on alcohol, poverty, drugs and terror, I think we should give some serious thought to declaring war on peace. -- Try before you buy = See our experts in action!
