Re: [Nagios-users] single email alert to multiple contacts?

The problem I'm facing is with emailing distribution lists. If both distribution_list_A and B contain user_A, said user ends up getting 2 email for the same event. If nagios could be configured to send a single email to both distribution lists, our exchange server would recognize that user_A is a member of both lists and send only 1 email to him. Thanks in advance for any insight you can provide! Think of your exhange servers mailing lists as buckets. Bucket A is list A with user A in it. Bucket B is list B with user A in it. Each bucket is going to get an email, and that email is going to get copied to it's users. I don't think this way is going to be possible, unless you make another group, and put your groups in there. But I will bet that user a still gets 2 emails. But I can't say for certain, since it's been about 5 years since I used a exchange server. I would probably pull user a out, and let him get contacted separately with nagios, instead of depending on a group list if it's a big deal. The down side is this doesn't scale very well.

Re: [Nagios-users] Passive freshness checks - active checks
Hey All, I'll check out the stats and turn on debugging next to see if there is anything there. In the mean time, what version of nagios are you running? Nagios Core 3.2.1 This seems to be the problem right here. I upgraded to nagios 3.2.1 from 3.2.0 and nagios now honors my thresholds properly. I looked at the change log and didn't see this listed as a fix, but maybe I'm just blind. Either way, this is the fix (upgrading) for those that follow in my foot steps.

Re: [Nagios-users] Passive freshness checks - active checks
I can't see any problem with the config below. If you have dozens of checks set up this way and they are all set up in crontab to run at */15 then you will get a storm of checks at each 15 minute intervals. I normally make sure I stagger the checks in cron so that they are reasonably evenly spaced. If you have thousands it might also be worth introducing a small random sleep to spread them out even more. I've not had any problems with it myself, but if you have a very busy system, you might need to check that the command buffers aren't filling (run /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagiosstats to list the current Nagios statistics). Check the logs from nsca too. If I recall correctly you may need to set debug=1 in nsca.cfg for a while to get enough information. One problem I sometimes see occurs when the clock on the sending server is way out of sync with the clock on the Nagios server, nsca will complain and not process the check. See this section in the nsca.cfg file: # MAX PACKET AGE OPTION # This option is used by the nsca daemon to determine when client # data is too old to be valid. Keeping this value as small as # possible is recommended, as it helps prevent the possibility of # replay attacks. This value needs to be at least as long as # the time it takes your clients to send their data to the server. # Values are in seconds. The max packet age cannot exceed 15 # minutes (900 seconds). If this variable is set to zero (0), no # packets will be rejected based on their age. max_packet_age=30 If I recall, I increased this from some smaller value to make it more forgiving of systems which are a bit out of sync. I hope that's pointed you in the right direction. Cheers, Jim Hey Jim, Thanks for the info, I have increased the time offset to be a minute or two. But all our systems should be close as we use NTP to keep them in sync, and nagios currently does active checks on this one to make sure things are happy. I'll check out the stats and turn on debugging next to see if there is anything there. In the mean time, what version of nagios are you running?

[Nagios-users] Passive freshness checks - active checks
Hi All,
I'm having a bit of a problem with my nagios setup. I'm trying to move
toward passive checks, with failover being a active check. For now, my
failover check command is just a one liner that returns critical with
a message.
I'm it's looking like the active check is being run, even when I see
the corresponding passive check coming in. I suspect it may be in my
configs somewhere, but I'm not sure what is wrong yet.
The big kicker of this, is it's not all of my checks. Only some of
them. They all have different freshness thresholds, but that doesn't
seem to be common. Their configs are the same, but in a different
order, and that doesn't seem like the problem either as it's affecting
some of one, and not of the other.
Any thoughts of what I may be doing wrong?
Charlie

I now want to be able to check disk capacity, cpu load, etc., on other systems(clients). It's not clear to me how to do this in the documentation. Do I need to use check_by_ssh or nrpe? You can do either. I have been using check_by_ssh because I didn't want to open a new port on my client machines, and they are all running sshd on them. But this does not scale very well. We have a 2 core server, and about 300 hosts, and 1500 checks, and it's loaded the host down pretty bad. If I was to stay doing active checks, I would do NRPE as I have done in the past. It scales much better. Is there a way to package up part of the nagios install and distribute it to all systems I want to monitor? You'll want to get the nrpe plugin along with the plugin checks. We usually just push the files to the systems, compile, install, and then put our configs in place. A smart bash script can automate most of the install for you. I would much appreciate it if someone could send me a link to the right document for this. The basics you'll need are to define another host. Define services. Define commands for those services. Add the host to those services. On the client, install and configure nrpe. Install the plugins you want to use. And then open up firewalls for these new services. Sorry I can't find the link I used to use when I first started out with nagios.

If you are exclusively on a trusted private network, check_by_ssh really doesn't offer any benefits. Conversely, if your topology involves the Internet or some other untrusted network (WiFi), then you wouldn't want NRPE in the first place. The only exception to the above that I can think of is when it comes to deciding between using check_by_ssh over an untrusted network, vs. NRPE through some other kind of tunnel or VPN. But in that case, you'd incur encryption overhead either way, and the comparison is very different from the question you asked. All that said: I don't have any first-hand experience, but I suspect that the impact of establishing 2200 ssh connections in a five- minute span (assuming that you are using a five-minute check interval) is pretty substantial. The main impact actually lies in establishing and tearing down the connections, key negotiations etc.; the encryption during the data phase probably has only limited impact because most checks only transmit a few bytes back and forth. SSH does much better with longer-duration connections when the keys are already exchanged. This is even more true if you have a router- based VPN, because in that case the overhead is offloaded to a different machine. So if you have the option of sending the checks as NRPE through one or a few long-term VPNs: you are probably going to be better off. Of course, in the big picture, your mileage may vary. Firstly, thanks for the detailed explanation of the issues involved in this choice Kevin, it's been very helpful. I'm curious though, could you elaborate on why NRPE is unsuitable if communication with my remote hosts is going to go via the Internet? Is it not sufficient that NRPE uses SSL? This may be more of a network security question than a Nagios one, but I've no real experience in either area unfortunately, so I appreciate any info you can give here. No, you are right. I wasn't aware that NRPE could use SSL. In that case, NRPE would be pretty much the same in terms of performance as SSL. That said, I am generally concerned from a security standpoint about any kind of active checks going over the Internet. This is because if you are monitoring, in your example, 200 hosts, you have to poke holes into 200 firewalls (or into one firewall, and then set up SSL or SSH keys on 200 hosts). That's 200 potential security holes all over the place with little or no control, and on machines that may not necessarily be hardened for access from the outside world. Worse - active checks, by nature, cause a program to be launched and executed on the monitored client, and usually with very high permissions. You said that you check 2000 services, so that's 2000 plugins (give or take a few). What if a hacker found a way to compromise one of your 2000 plugins? You'd have a privilege escalation issue along with remote-launch capability. On 200 clients. Very high permissions are normally not needed. Depends on the plugin, but I'm not sure that this is generally true. For instance, something as simple as log file analysis either requires root permission on Linux; log files aren't readable by anybody else, or it requires that you relax file permissions or security somewhere else. On Windows, I'm running my monitoring agent (by default) as the Local System account (most Windows services do that anyway). That has basically full access to everything, but nothing on the network. My nagios user only checks basic system stuff, and I haven't run into a permission error situation yet, and I check the following by default - load, users, disk, swap, memory, processes, databases, raid. Of course check_ping, check_tcp etc. don't usually need such high permissions. I prefer using NRPE because of two reasons: 1. It provides a rather simple way of specifying exactly which commands can be run, and with which arguments (don't enable argument parsing in nrpe if the receiving end isn't duly protected by firewalls etc) 2. If someone breaks into the Nagios server, he or she does not get the public keys required for running commands on the remote servers. Can you explain that second statement? I'm not sure I follow what you are trying to say here. Why would getting public keys be a bad thing? They are, by definition, freely available anyway. What you CAN do, though it's kind of a p.i.t.a is, is have a key per command. So if you have something like check_disk, you can put a single key for just that command. On all the servers you roll this out to, you can secure it up

I'm aware that check_by_ssh increases the CPU overhead, but I'm not clear on the level of impact here - does this increase the load on the monitoring machine in direction relation to the number of hosts being monitored? For example, if I was using check_by_ssh to monitor, say, 2000 services spread across 200 hosts, would I experience significant slowdown on my monitoring machine? Cheers for any info, Chris SSH is going to slow it down on both sides of the communication. SSH does quite a bit more in terms of setting up the connection which involves using asymmetric encryption to setup a shared secret for symmetric encryption and verifying keys for the asymmetric part, verifying access, allocating a session. Whereas NRPE even with encryption just does a simple pre-shared secret for the symmetric encryption, much faster even if using the same encryption algorithm One thing you could do with SSH to speed it up (and I would argue make it faster than NRPE depending on the stability of your network)) would be to use ControlMaster. ControlMaster is a SSH v2 feature, where you create a connection and can open up multiple sessions with that ControlMaster for other SSH processes. This saves you not only the key-exchange heavy lifting but also you're not opening up a new socket on the remote host. In order to really make it worth it you'd have to spawn a process that was continuously connected. I wrote an ugly check_by_ssh that would spawn a ControlMaster if one didn't exist and use it if it did. Reduced the load/latency quite a bit for SSH checks. Though if I had to do it again I'd used 'ControlMaster auto' (man 5 ssh_config) and create a separate check that was responsible for maintaining the ControlMaster, then you could use the stock check_by_ssh without any modifications. That all being said, you might want to think about a distributed setup anyhow, if nothing more for redundancy. 200 servers and 2,000 checks is alot of responsibility for a singleton, you could break it 50/50 between two servers that could take over for the other one if it fails. .r' -- ___ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null +1 on the control master.

That is how NRPE is getting invoked. Look closer at your templates.

Sure thing. I think I am missing something as it's not working how I
remembered it working.
On my remote host, my config file.

Now looking at this, I'm able to get successful checks, with out using

working when I thought you had to define commands like this

service_description Current Load
check_command
check_nrpe!check_local_load!5.0,4.0,3.0!10.0,6.0,4.0

Hi, I have a couple machines that spit out a warning similar to this: WARNING - check_by_ssh: Remote command '/home/nagios/nagios-plugs/ check_disk' returned status 1 I believe this to be caused by the check itself is timing out. As when I try to login it will sometimes take up to a minute or two just to get a prompt. The server will respond to ping, so I'm generally not totally concerned about it.

Thanks, Charlie The timeouts in nagios.cfg are ow long the nagios process waits before aborting a check. There are usually check specific timeouts that you can add to the command definition. Run the check_* command manually and see what the syntax is (sometimes '-t xx'). I thought I had did that already , and just put the --timeout option on the check_by_ssh, but I guess not. I added the timeout, from 30 to 60. We'll see how it goes.

Re: [Nagios-users] nagios on call schedule w/ escalations?
Jon thanks. I got things figured out.
I setup 2 sets of contacts with the same users. One was just for the
regular contact. I setup this group of 'admins' so they are only
contacted on their oncall schedule.
I then just did nearly exactly as you wrote and made a totally
seperate set of contacts, that can be contacted 24x7.
I have 2 groups. Admins and Escalations.
Escalations use the second set of 24x7 contacts, and the Admins
contacts uses the oncall schedule.
Inheritance wasn't really necessary, just the separate groups.
Oh and I made a separate contact template that used the proper contact
time period.
Thanks again, works perfect.

I'm sure you've probably taken a peek at the On Call Rotations
details in the documentation:
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/oncallrotation.html
There are plenty of examples to get a good idea.
Here's what I'm trying to achieve. We have a team of 3 admins, where
we rotate weeks who is on call. Of course, they aren't every other
3rd
week , because of people having vacation time, etc. So some weeks
people are on call for 2 weeks, or every 2 weeks, etc.
What we'd like is, to have a schedule setup where the primary guy
gets
woken up first. But if he doesn't answer his call after an hour, it
drops down to the rest of us admins. No matter if your just at home
sleeping, or if your on vacation, you get pinged. After that it goes
up to our manager.
I can figure out the setting of people's initial schedule, as I have
it looking something like this

You might want to read up on notifications, and serviceescalations,
too... Looking at the time stuff you've got, what'll happen is at any
one point, only 1 of the admins will be reachable by notifications at
any time. This is because the timeperiods stop nagios from sending
notifications to a user that is outside their timeperiod. For

[Nagios-users] check_by_ssh - getting errors in logs
Hi all, I have nagios working pretty good, it's checking all i want over ssh. But ever since I have set up nagios over ssh, I keep getting the following in my logs. authpriv crit sshd[8939]: fatal: Read from socket failed: Connection reset by peer I've checked the load / iowait of the servers in question and they all seem to be good. So I don't think they are loaded down when this happens. I also checked the versions of ssh to see if it was a particular version of openssh complaining but it seems pretty wide spread across our versions which are openssh 3.9p1 - 4.5. I also am using forced commands per host, and I added ' exit' thinking that maybe the connection wasn't exiting cleanly. Anyone have any idea's what else I can do to eliminate these errors? They seem somewhat intermittent, but I'm getting notices about every 20 minutes that a server is seeing this.

[Nagios-users] service dependency on host?
Hi,
I have nagios up and working but I want to tweak it some so I'm not
getting buried under sms messages.
My setup works like so.
I have a file called Loc-Servers.cfg
In this file it has the host definitions that look like this, but just
a ton of them
# serv01
define host{
use linux-server
host_name serv01.example.com
alias serv01
address 192.168.1.101
}
# serv01
define host{
use linux-server
host_name serv02.example.com
alias serv02
address 192.168.1.102
}
And then after the hosts I have the services setup generally like this:
define service{
use generic-service
host_name serv01.example.com,
serv02.example.com
service_description Ping
check_command check_ping!100.0,20%!500.0,60%
}
My real question comes down to dependencies. As much as I love getting
400 messages if something 'upstream' goes down like a switch, I
generally want to try to get alerts only for hosts down and alerts for
the first point of failure.
So assuming one of my networks look like this:
Router -- Switch - serv01, serv02, serv03
Lets say the switch goes down. Which makes the servers all
unreachable, which fails out all other servers. I don't want to have
any notifications really for anything below the switch.
I've seen the docs about having services dependent on services, and
hosts dependent on hosts. But how about services, dependent on hosts.
Do I just use hosts instead of services in the config?
Thanks for you time and for your help,
Charlie

Re: [Nagios-users] service dependency on host?
I thought I was done
There is no mention about the services for the affected hosts. Will
they by default not send alerts, but only unreachables as well?
So if the hosts aren't sending notifications because the head switch
is down, what about the sub sequent services?
Thanks,
