[Nagios-users] How to route data from multiple nagios core nodes to a nagiosxi node?
I have about ten nagios core machines that I currently monitor collectively using MNTOS. Is there a way to feed the data from my nagios core machines to a nagiosXI machine that makes it possible to use the nagiosXI features like the visualization/dashboards/reporting for the services/hosts being monitored by the nagios core nodes? I 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?

Re: [Nagios-users] check_dig not working as expected (plugins 1.4.15)
Hello,
Well, unless I'm very wrong, check_dns doesn't permit to choose what type of
record you want to query (eg. using -q=MX nslookup command line option).
Kind regards,
Benjamin

[Nagios-users] bug in check_logfiles? existing file is reported as not found
Hi list,
Tried unsuccessfully to find a support forum for check_logfiles, maybe someone
here can help me ;-)
I have check_logfiles running on a win2k3 machine and it checks for a file
using a date pattern (see config snipped below). This morning nagios gave an
error that the logfile with todays date (ie 2009-12-30.log) did not exist - but
it did, this has been working for some weeks without problems until now.
Exchanging the date pattern with the actual file name gave the same result -
check_logfiles claims the file did not exist. Trying with any other file (fx
2009-12-29.log or 2009-12-31.log) in the same location gives no problem.
Any ideas how to debug further on this? Otherwise it looks like the problem
will disappear tomorrow as my created file with tomorrows datepattern works ok.
Thanks
Mirco

[Nagios-users] Really slow log2ndo
Am I the only one who is experiencing very slow performance importing archived log files into MySQL with log2ndo? I'm averaging ~1.5 log entries per second being inserted. This seems slow to me. I've tried dividing the parsing MySQL service across 2 servers as well as move all the parsing/inserting locally on a remote (to Nagios) server which is much beefier than our actual Nagios server. My insertion speed remains fairly consistent. I'm currently using the Unix socket option. Is this the wrong one? Would TCP be faster (doesn't seem so)? Should I process the logs to flat text files first then push those to ndo2db? At this rate it's going to take FOREVER! I have ~10 million archived lines to parse and insert. Maybe I'm expecting too much?

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios Latency
Hi Andreas, Thanks for answering . I have more or less followed the documentation on how to tune nagios. service_reaper_frequency=2 max_concurrent_checks=0 service_interleave_factor=s host_inter_check_delay_method=s The host check command is check_icmp We use nagios 2.7.1 The nagios server is not overloaded 4Go RAM and dual core 3GHz. But still the nagios latency is increasing for no particular reason ... see the graph attached.

Re: [Nagios-users] Forcing recovery notifications to email only
For the sake of others who may care...
I fixed this by making the *-recovery contacts the default contacts
which get added to the admins contactgroup. These contacts get
notifications for [d|c],[u|r] for hosts/services. In addition, I only
make paging contacts for those who are on pager duty and also add them
to the admins contactgroup. The paging contacts only get notifications
for [d|c] for hosts/services.

[Nagios-users] Strange contact group behavior in 2.0b3
I'm running Nagios v2.0b3 and have a strange problem with contact groups Here is a breakdown of the issues: - I create 2 contacts, one called 'brutter' and another 'tward' - I then create a contact group called 'TRMStaff' and add both users - Any service I set the contact group of 'TRMStaff' to works flawlessly - Any host I set the contact group of 'TRMStaff' to works flawlessly So at this point, all is well...then the strange part - I create a new contact called 'lgroup' - I then create a contact group called 'LG' and add the 'lgroup' user - Any service I set the contact group of 'LG' to works fine AS LONG AS the HOST of that service is set to 'TRMStaff' as the contact group. If I have a host with contact group 'TRMStaff' and a service of that host with contact group 'LG', everything works as it should. As soon as I change the contact group on the host to 'LG', that host disappears from the list of hosts in the GUI and alerts are not generated for the hosts OR the services related to that host. I have tried creating multiple groups with all sorts of different names and assigning different users to no avail I need to be able to have the 'LG' contact group assigned to both HOSTS and it's corresponding services. I have checked the syntax up and down a hundred times and everything seems to be on point. Is there anything illegal in the group or contact names that I've chosen? Any suggestions out there???
