Re: [Nagios-users] check_http script is not working
Jeez. I should drink a coffee before responding... ouch. The syntax is correct, as you see in my post I had a typo in the verisign domain name. # ./check_http -w 5 -c 10 --ssl -H www.verisign.com HTTP OK: HTTP/1.1 200 OK - 42718 bytes in 0.830 second response time |time=0.830120s;5.00;10.00;0.00 size=42718B;;;0 So it works.

[Nagios-users] 2 Nagios boxes running together in different locations
Hi all, We run 1 nagios box in our Office at location A - this monitors all servers/websites etc in Location A and a remote office in Location B hooked up with a static VPN We have a bit of a tempermental firewall at the moment that keeps going down thus resulting in everything appearing down to Nagios in Location A and it alerting like a loonatic for all hosts/services (88/156) So question is: Can I put a second nagios box in Location B as some sort of slave - and have it cross reference nagios box in Location A and only alert if both boxes agree that said host(s)/service(s) is/are in down state? If so are there any guides/helps out on the www that will assist in this setup?

We have a bit of a tempermental firewall at the moment that keeps going down thus resulting in everything appearing down to Nagios in Location A and it alerting like a loonatic for all hosts/services (88/156) You could monitor the firewall, and configure it to be the parent of the hosts behind it.

Re: [Nagios-users] 2 Nagios boxes running together in different locations
Interesting - How does it work though - I mean if the firewall plays up at Site A, it thinks everything in Site B is down - so Nagios GUI marks everything as down - what happens then if say a server in Site B does actually go down - we will not get alerted to that? I made a slight error in my original description - when the firewall goes down it cant contact anything at both locations, not just Site A, due to the fact that the protected interface stays up but just denies all traffic.

Re: [Nagios-users] Confusion on nrpe
HiJacking a thread? What are you talking about? If I had maintained someone's subject but changed the content, that is hijacking a thread. Merely hitting 'reply' and deleting the subject and replacing it, deleting the body and writing my own does not seem to me, to qualify as hijacking a thread. That is creating a new thread, by changing the subject and body. Or am I completely missing something? I do sort by thread on my machine and my emails are perfectly sorted. Perhaps you should start sorting my subject instead of X-header or whatever you are threading on now. I would love to have learned something about what you are talking about, but so far, you haven't explained a thing, merely complained. If I want it further threaded, then it is grouped by the subject. What on earth are you threading by (and what amazing email client are you using) that causes my repurposing an email the way I do to cause a problem, X-Header attributes? If you have a problem with a persons actions, You should have taken the reply immediately offline, and not sent it to the group. You should also explain why doing what I do causes a problem, and not assume that what I do is intentional to cause a problem. Maybe I am not born with all knowledge and experience in all things mailing list known to man, as you apparently are. Some people try to teach and share knowledge. Since you insist, I will continue here to we can all learn from your complaint and eventual (hopefully) explanation as to how my process causes problems. BTW, You are the first person ever to have mentioned that doing it this way is causing a problem. I'll keep the thread here instead of taking it offline. This way if anyone else does what I do, we can all learn why this causes a problem. Maybe, we can get the owner of the mailing list to place a link or footer in each posting that says what address to send emails to. Then people like I who don't know, could just copy and paste that email address into new emails instead of hitting reply and changing subject and body and letting it fly. That is a fairly common thing in newsgroups postings, probably for this exact reason. I eagerly await your instructional and helpful reply. --Bruce D.

I would agree with this as well, usually easier I think then trying to cross-connect everything together and make sense of all of it. Make them standalone, and then use something like Multisite which can bring all of them together in one view so it all appears to be one box setup.

I would love to have learned something about what you are talking about, but so far, you haven't explained a thing, merely complained.

What on earth are you threading by (and what amazing email client are you using) that causes my repurposing an email the way I do to cause a problem, X-Header attributes? If you have a problem with a persons actions, You should have taken the reply immediately offline, and not sent it to the group. You should also explain why doing what I do causes a problem, and not assume that what I do is intentional to cause a problem. Maybe I am not born with all knowledge and experience in all things mailing list known to man, as you apparently are. Some people try to teach and share knowledge. Since you insist, I will continue here to we can all learn from your complaint and eventual (hopefully) explanation as to how my process causes problems. BTW, You are the first person ever to have mentioned that doing it this way is causing a problem. I'll keep the thread here instead of taking it offline. This way if anyone else does what I do, we can all learn why this causes a problem. Maybe, we can get the owner of the mailing list to place a link or footer in each posting that says what address to send emails to. Then people like I who don't know, could just copy and paste that email address into new emails instead of hitting reply and changing subject and body and letting it fly. That is a fairly common thing in newsgroups postings, probably for this exact reason. I eagerly await your instructional and helpful reply. And here it is: When someone mentions, without malice, that you've done something wrong, examine your actions closely before claiming that those educating you are ignorant or wrong. If you can't find any fault in how you did things, ask nicely for an explanation. It's quite likely others know something you don't, and unless you actually *are* the reigning deity on the subject at hand, showing some humility is always a good idea. Hijacking a thread is not a big deal. Trying to correct us because we say it's wrong is however a very bad idea when you want our help.

[Nagios-users] Notifications when STATE is OK
Hi - I've had a request to perform a logfile check on a server 3 times a day, the requestor though has stated that they would like an email notification if the plugin runs successfully and as such the return code will be zero (0). To me this seems a little back to front - they want the email notification just for the comfort factor that something was ok in the early hours of the morning when no one is actually in the office to see the monitoring screens. The plugin would for example run at 1:15am and check a logfile for a given string of text and if found return a 0 / OK STATE - if this happens we want an email notification to be sent out. So does anyone know if this is possible or have done something like this and if so how was this done? Thanks - Julian.

In essence, we've removed 2 fork() calls, 4 disk searches, 2 filewrites and 2 filereads from each check being performed. There's also a fixed usage of the current scheduling queue implementation which turns scheduling new checks from its current O(n) behaviour to O(1). This will provide a huge benefit for large installations, and combined with the worker process code we're currently seeing a 12-fold increase in the amount of checks Nagios can execute, but it's still too early to tell what other things are affected.

we've removed 2 fork() calls, 4 disk searches, 2 filewrites and 2 filereads
from each check being performed. There's also a fixed usage of the current
scheduling queue implementation which turns scheduling new checks from its
current O(n) behaviour to O(1). This will provide a huge benefit for large
installations, and combined with the worker process code we're currently
seeing a 12-fold increase in the amount of checks Nagios can execute, but
it's still too early to tell what other things are affected. The external
command pipe might be a bottleneck if one uses large amounts of passive
checks, for example.
It's currently in late alpha, so beta releases should be available in a
month or so.

Andreas,
I'm a little confused about this. I've been eagerly awaiting these
gee-wiz-bang space-age changes, but when I looked over the change list
for 3.4.0 that Ethan sent they seem like mostly minor changes. Or
perhaps they just don't describe things in enough detail to match up the
rather significant architectural changes listed above.
Is this the super-summarized bullet item that refers to the change above?
ENHANCEMENTS
* Use execv() to execute active check commands (#86 - Ton Voon,
dnsmichi)
Nopes, it's not, and that patch is actually broken. My code still leaks (about
1MB per 24 hours with 1000 checks / second), so I've held it back a bit. I
didn't know they were going to hit the release button so fast, and without a
beta period.

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.

Aha! Thanks. Yeah, I was little struck by how this seemed more like a 3.3.2
release than a release that indicated something significant going on under
the covers.
I guess there's now the problem of when the i/o broker is ready, is that
a 3.4.1 release? Seems kind of major for that.

Re: [Nagios-users] Any upcoming release?
Bleh. It's too late and to sit up and rebase 160-odd patches on top of
20 to fix a single broken one.
For those using the 3.4.0 release, I've cherry-picked all patches that
went in the 3.4.0-release apart from the broken execvp patch and added
them on top of the worker-process code.
If anyone's interested in trying them out, you can get them from
git://github.com/ageric/nagios.git or possibly get a snapshot somewhere
at https://github.com/ageric/nagios
Consider it 3.5.0-alpha or something. It still needs a lot of testing,
but it's been ticking along quite nicely in our lab the past 4 months,
running checks and generally just working with livestatus and Merlin
enabled.
Granted, that part of our lab doesn't use passive check results, but
most of the rest is tested and known to work pretty well, apart from
the small memory leak mentioned below (but who knows? Someone might
even fix that now that it's in the open).
Happy testing.
I'll get a proper fix in for the double-quote issue on friday, as I've
got presentations to run all day tomorrow.

Apparently it'll go into Nagios 4, and that one will most likely have a
proper beta period, since it's likely we take that opportunity to revamp
the object api. It'll be a ways off though, but hopefully before the big
Nagios conference in St Paul in september.
