Re: [Nagios-users] Defining passive checks
Hello Jonathan,
I think that you must put
define service {
service_description Oracle
host_name oddjob.resnet.bris.ac.uk
use resnet-service
max_check_attempts 1
check_freshness 1
freshness_threshold 86400
check_command check_dummy!1 no news since 24h
}
= The check_dummy command will run if no passive check has been received
within 24 hours (86400seconds) and display warnig alert (1) and info status
no news since 24h

Mohamed

Objet : [Nagios-users] Defining passive checks
I'm a long-time user of Nagios with active checks. Today I started using
passive checks with NSCA and I'm having a problem.
The documentation states A service must be defined in Nagios before you
can submit passive check results for it.
I defined a config block like this, to define a service for the Oracle
service that I want to monitor passively - omitting the check_command
directive.
define service {
service_description Oracle
host_name oddjob.resnet.bris.ac.uk
use resnet-service
}
But running nagios -v gives this output:
Error: Service description, host name, or check command is NULL
Error: Could not register service (config file
'/etc/nagios/nagios_service.cfg', starting on line 8618)
Error processing object config files!
So what's the approved way of defining a service without specifying a
command for active checks?
Thanks,
Jonathan

Re: [Nagios-users] Issues with check_by_ssh
I see that you are talking to a XenServer host. I am performing something
similar. What I have had to do to achieve results is to create a local Nagios
user on the XenServer host which has SSH keys to allow the server Nagios user
to connect and avoid using any root SSH keys which the Nagios user is unlikely
to be able to read.
Once you have connected to the XenServer host check that the Nagios user can
execute the commands you are running. If you are simply looking at the dom0 as
if it was a host and checking items such as cpu, memory or disk usage then you
should not have a problem. If you are executing XenServer xe commands then you
will need to pass a username and password that has access to the XenServer to
run these commands. This will be root or another account that has been granted
access. You can store these values in the resources.cfg file and pass them in
your command definition.
I have also noticed that your service definition is passing 4 arguments, where
your command definition is only using 3 arguments and the hostaddress. It
would be worth checking to make sure that you are passing the correct arguments
from your service and command definitions to your remote host.

Subject: [Nagios-users] Issues with check_by_ssh
Hi list,
I have some issues with the plugin check_by_ssh. In particular, there is one
error:
When I run a shell script located in another server, from the Nagios server
using the check_by_ssh plugin, I don't have any errors and I can see the result
of the script, like this:
root@nagioserver#mailto:root@TSM-SRV-V-114
/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_by_ssh -l root -H ipxenserver -C
/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_Xencpu
OK:CPU%= 3
But, by any strange reason, when I configure the check for Nagios presents the
results in its interface, I have the error:
[cid:image001.png@01CD7B8F.4994F110]
I have made the ssh authorization keys in both servers (Nagios and Xen), I
configured the users, permissions,etc. And I can't to do this work it.
Could someone help me solve this problem
This is a part of my definition files:
#XENServer
define command {
command_name check_by_ssh_xentop
command_line /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_by_ssh -l '$ARG1$' -H
'$HOSTADDRESS$' -C '$ARG2$' -i '$ARG3$'
}
#Hypervisor check

}

[Nagios-users] My Own Command Deinifition Weird Behavior.
Hi there guys.
I defined my own command to use an internal sms sistems, so we can send an
sms alert along with the e-mail ones.
This is what the script do.
#!/bin/bash
HOST=$1
STATE=$2
lynx http://server:/SMSService/$HOST-State-$STATE
The command definition is:
# send-sms
define command{
command_name send-sms
command_line /path/sms.sh $HOSTNAME$ $SERVICESTATE$
}
The problem is that with some host I receive the SERVICESTATE condition, Ok
or Critical, but with others dont, only get $
As I can see on the debug file:
Processed notification command: /path/sms.sh server333 CRITICAL - This is
good
Processed notification command: /path/sms.sh server333 OK - This is good
But for the other servers I get:
Processed notification command: /path/sms.sh server222 $SERVICESTATE$ -
Only get the variable name instead its content, ok or critical.
Any idea what the problem could be?
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards

Re: [Nagios-users] My Own Command Deinifition Weird Behavior.
The first thing that spring to mind is that the SMS script is being run for
host alerts for which the service variable would not be defined. It may be
worth checking your contact notification definitions to make sure that hosts or
services are different.

Re: [Nagios-users] My Own Command Deinifition Weird Behavior.
Yes, you are right, after I fired the mail to the list, I checked that, my
appologies, I notice that host uses HOSTSTATE and service uses
SERVICESTATE, I changed that and defined two commands instead, gonna see if
that fix the problem
service_notification_commands send-sms-service,notify-service-by-email
host_notification_commands send-sms-host,notify-host-by-email
command_line /path/sms.sh $HOSTNAME$ $HOSTSTATE$
command_line /path/sms.sh $HOSTNAME$ $SERVICESTATE$
Thank you vey much, sorry for the noise.
Best regards

[Nagios-users] check_openmanage and ESXi
All, I don't know if anyone else already posted this, I just joined the mail list. We have been using check_openmanage (brilliant piece of work!) to check the hardware status of our Dell machines, lately we are moving from ESX 4 to ESXi 5 and found that the check_openmanage check could not help us with the monitoring of ESXi 5 hardware, because check_openmanage needs OMSA for its checks. Today I found a other plugin to check ESXi hardware, see http://www.claudiokuenzler.com/nagios-plugins/check_esxi_hardware.php There is one disadvantage to this plugin and that is that you always get the same status details back with a OK. I don't know if it is possible but it would be nice to have the checks from the check_esxi_hardware available in the check_openmanage, only problem is one is written in Python the other in Perl... I hope it helps and that maybe someone (Trond the author of check_openmanage?) can create one check of this.
