Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios is ignoring the retry_interval setting

[Giorgio Zarrelli]

Hi,

write here the host actual definition.

Moreover, if the define host you wrote in you email is a template, why I
do not see "register 0"?

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios is ignoring the retry_interval setting

[Giorgio Zarrelli]

Hi,

wrong.

retry interval comes in when there a state change. check_interval is the
interval for "normal" checks. When there is a status change, the
retry_interval comes in ** until ** max_check_attempts is reached, then
check_interval kicks in again.

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios plugin check_ftp default threshold limits

[Giorgio Zarrelli]

Hi,

I never used this plugin but perusing through the code I see:

/* perf-data doesn't apply when server doesn't talk properly,
 * so print all zeroes on warn and crit. Use fperfdata since
 * localisation settings can make different outputs */
if(match == FALSE)
printf ("|%s",
fperfdata ("time", elapsed_time, "s",
(flags & FLAG_TIME_WARN ? TRUE : FALSE), 0,
(flags & FLAG_TIME_CRIT ? TRUE : FALSE), 0,
TRUE, 0,
TRUE, socket_timeout)
);
else
printf("|%s",
fperfdata ("time", elapsed_time, "s",
(flags & FLAG_TIME_WARN ? TRUE : FALSE), 
warning_time,
(flags & FLAG_TIME_CRIT ? TRUE : FALSE), 
critical_time,
TRUE, 0,
TRUE, socket_timeout)
);

putchar('\n');
return result;
}

So I suppose it depends on how long it takes or you consider acceptable to
receive an answer from the daemon.

Re: [Nagios-users] High Service Check Latency

[Giorgio Zarrelli]

Hi,

check the i/o on disk. If you graph lots of checks or simply write the 
status.dat on slow disk, everything gets slow.

Io you find the disk being too taxed, try moving logs and status.dat on ramdisk.

Re: [Nagios-users] Large scale installation

[Giorgio Zarrelli]

Hi,

You are right., open files IS a major concern I forgot to mention. A quick and 
dirty method to solve it is to raise the number of open files putting ulimit 
command folllowed by a high value in The Nagios startup script.

ulimit -a will tell The current system wirde ulimit value.

Lucky you, ssd disks are a good improvement!

Re: [Nagios-users] Large scale installation

[Giorgio Zarrelli]

Hi,

I suggest to review your installation. Try with the large installation
tweaks http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/largeinstalltweaks.html.

Then, check whether you need all your checks at 5 mins or you can move
some of them to 10 mins pace.

Then, review your check plugins: Perl plugins eat more memory and CPU
cycles then C compiled checks. If they support EPN
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/embeddedperl.html, use it, it makes
your plugin faster and lighter.

Then, check your checks. Some checks return data slower then others. Let's
say, SNMP checks are not lightning fast.

Then, check your graphs. Graphing perfdata takes CPU cycles and uses
memory. Do you need all your graphs?

Then, get rid of NDOUtils. They are chocking all the way, not efficient,
clumsy, old and heavy. If you want to store your data in MySQL, use Merlin
instead.

Anyway, did you tune your MySQL? Is it causing too much I/O? Is it
munching too much RAM or CPU cycles?

Did you tune your Apache or http server? Does it cope with your needs? Is
it munching too much RAM or CPU cycles?

If you want live infos about your hosts and services, let's say to use
with Navis, grab MKlive: it's blazing fast and gives you access to the
core Nagios process.

Are you using a virtualized environment? If so, remember that I/O layer in
virtualized environments has a poor performance, use fast and real disks
and your I/O will drop dramatically.

Try to move status.dat to /dev/shm. The latter is a ram disk ready to use
and writing in ram is always faster then writing on disk.

Avoid logging too much, it increases I/O and takes CPU and RAM.

What iotop and iostat are telling you?

What do you see in top or htop?

If you can or wish, compile all from sources, it will go faster on your
system.

You can use passive checks with NSCA or NRDP to reduce load, even though I
do not like them a lot.

These are just few ideas that came to my mind.


Let's talk about sharing load.

You can use different methods:

Merlin
(http://www.op5.org/community/plugin-inventory/op5-projects/merlin): gives
you loadbalancing and redundancy. I use it for Ninja, never used for load
balancing and redundancy.

DNX (http://dnx.sourceforge.net/): Something new, it's gaining momentum,
good to offload the checks. Worth to give a try.

Mod_gearman (http://labs.consol.de/lang/de/nagios/mod-gearman/): Love at
first site :-) Easy, powerful, load balancing and fault tolerant. Compile
gearmand with memcached support and all the result checks will go directly
to ram, avoiding I/O on disk. It's really simple to setup, if one of the
workers go down, the others will share its work. Be careful: security is a
problem, there is not a good auth system, but using a VPN will solve the
problem. Efficient, I use a virtual machine with 2 cores and 2 gb of ram
to make about 5K checks. And the load is not a concern. You need more
horse power? Add a worker. You have some checks timing out due to poor
connections to the targets? Put a worker close to the target, but be
careful, the timing, let's say the rta of a ping, will be from the worker
perspective.

Well, hope it helps.

I usa gearman as well, nice stuff. But it lacks of authentication so it's

You can use mklivestatus as a broker to notify nagios status check to 3rd part

Re: [Nagios-users] Permissions problem

[Giorgio Zarrelli]

Hi,

as user root you can su to any other user without being requested for any
passwords.

Anyway, if the nagios user has no valid shells in /etc/passwd, you won't
be able to su to it even though you are root.

Check the /etc/passwd, it's format is:


user:1020:1025:,,,:/home/user:/bin/bash

Look for user nagios and look and check for the last field, if it's
anything else thane /bin/bash or /bin/sh, change to one of these values.

Then, try to su to nagios again.

Hi,

maybe some remnants from previous import tries? Purge MySQL db and try a
new import, following the suggested (on import page) order of file

Hi,

Try

MySQL> grant all on *.* to root@% identified by 'password';

It will allow connection as root from ANY host/hostname and will give ALL
privileges on ALL databases.

As I told before: REMOVE this user as soon as you complete NagioSQL
installation.

Re: [Nagios-users] R: configuration tool

[Giorgio Zarrelli]

It's just a MySQL right access problem. Please, describe what you are doing, 
step by step, so we can debug and help  you.

As a first hint I suggest you to create on mysql db a user 
''root'@'yournagiosqlwebserverip' Würth a GRANT ALL ON *.*  

Then on mysql server issue a 'flush privileges'

Then, ho on with nagiosql installation and at the end remote from mysql server 
the root'@'yournagiosqlwebserverip' and flush again the privileges.

Ciao,

Giorgio

Hi,

great, but I did nothing, you found the solution. What a pity, I do not deserve

Re: [Nagios-users] Problem with Konica and Canon printer

[Giorgio Zarrelli]

Hi,

you have to find the right OIDs for the info you are trying to get from
the printer.

Imagine the OID as as dotted "address" string (like 1.3.6.x.x.x.x.x). Each
OID points to a value and what that value does mean is described into a
collection called MIB.

So, find the right MIBs for your printers, look into them, point out the
correct OIDS and then, using snmpget, you can query the printers for the
values you need.

Giorgio

Re: [Nagios-users] from single server to distributed servers

[Giorgio Zarrelli]

NagioSQL stores the configurations in the db BUT from there it generates text 
config files, read by Nagios. In other words, Nagios stil reads it's configs 
from standard configuration files, but tris files are created, deployed, by 
NagioSQL from the infos stored in the MySQL db.

Giorgio

Re: [Nagios-users] R: R: error in nagiosql install

[Giorgio Zarrelli]

No no no. 

The trick is to put nagios user in the apache group, so that the permissions on 
files Owned by apache group inherited by nagios user.

In nagiosql conf check the path to nagios commands file then check the user 
rights on it.

Ciao,

Giorgio

the best way to check wether a backup terminated successfully or not is to
instruct you backup software to send a SNMP trap to Nagios.

[Nagios-users] error in nagiosql install

[Giorgio Zarrelli]

Hi,

googling I found that the 'mysql.servers' error might be a mysql
privileges bug that you can fix running  the

mysql_fix_privilege_tables

script.

See this bug report:

http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=28680

Or you can use this workaround creating the servers table by hands with
the following statement (you have to log on your console and enter the
mysql cli):

CREATE TABLE `servers` (
`Server_name` char(64) NOT NULL,
`Host` char(64) NOT NULL,
`Db` char(64) NOT NULL,
`Username` char(64) NOT NULL,
`Password` char(64) NOT NULL,
`Port` int(4) DEFAULT NULL,
`Socket` char(64) DEFAULT NULL,
`Wrapper` char(64) NOT NULL,
`Owner` char(64) NOT NULL,

777 on the config dir makes me howling to the moon, anyway settings.php

writing in it.

install php-pear with yum,

then:

 pear install HTML_Template_IT

Re: [Nagios-users] R: nagios with mysql

[Giorgio Zarrelli]

Hi,

well, NagioSQL keeps most of the configs in the DB and regenerates the
config files each time you need to "deploy" them.

It makes easy to mantain a configuration, or to create new chacks or
hosts. I'ts a good tools for support crew.



> But are there any conveniences to use nagiosSLQ compared standard nagios ?

Hi,

it seems a bit beyond his needs :-)

Then, from your words it seems that in Opsview you attached a CMDB to
Nagios. Is it so? Could be interesting, lots.

Re: [Nagios-users] nagios with mysql

[Giorgio Zarrelli]

Myst use NagioSQL and it will import tour magios files into a MySQL DB. 
Moreover, it will give you a web interface to configura Nagios. NagioSQL will 
be the backend for the upcoming Nagios official configuration tool.

Re: [Nagios-users] how to fix excessive latency

I agree, better not to use Nagios on virtual machine. The I/O layer of vms have 
poor performances.

Re: [Nagios-users] Unregister a service definition

Apply the service to the hostgroup AND in the definition of the

hostgroup_name HTTP

Talking about Ninja, I installed on a Debian Lennt box. The

Better to use log rotate and have the eldest log file mailed to an

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios not sending email notifications..

[Giorgio Zarrelli]

Hi,

It's not a Nagios problem. The problem is either at os level of your  
Nagios server (maybe you do not reaxh your mta or something wrong in  
your local to remote delivery) or it's a problem om you mta not  
accepting emails for delivery from Nagios server.


Login to your Nagios server then

su - nagios_user

Then issue the following command

mail

and check if there are any bounced mails from your mta or wathever else.

Giorgio

Hello there..
thanks for replying back.

i'm almost in the end of the instllation.
right now i have problem with HTML_Template_IT.
in the beggining i succeded to do all of the "NagiosQL Installation:  
Checking requirements" in green except the mySQL thing.
when i did reboot the mySQL changed to ok and green status but the  
HTML_Template_IT changed to red and not ok status and i cannot fix it.
so it was working and all good from the NagiosQL side but it  
changeed status somehow becuase of the reboot.


it tells me that HTML_Template_IT is installed (using "#pear list"  
command and also when i try to install it again) but i cannot change  
it to green again in the NagiosQL screen.

uninstall and install again also don't work for me.

i cannot use pear-go since its an offline linux red hat machine. but  
there were no problems with the pear installation.


if you have an idea how can i continue it would be great.
thanks again.

also this reference exist (to add info to my previous message):

I found the installation notes not clear or missing – well, not for

I have working and kicking Nagios machine installed on RHE5 distro  
and I want to have for the first time NagiosQL installed working  
with it.
I went through the Nagios installation plus without problem since  
its well documented on the net.

if you have can you share some installation notes it would be great.

Hi,

We have HP ProLiant DL380 G4 Packaged Cluster with MSA500 G2 and I

I checked with HP support, hpaducli will generate HW report for the

So two questions:
- any nagios plug-in which will check MSA500 hardware STATUS
- how can I incorporate hpaducli with nrpe?

Re: [Nagios-users] Check for the IBM ds4000 series totalstorage cabinett - FIX

Hi,

yes you can. I splitted all the major files in smaller files and nested
directories, so it's easier for me to manage all the services and hosts.

And I assure you, I have an heavy "split" configuration.

[Nagios-users] Check for the IBM ds4000 series totalstorage cabinett - FIX

[Giorgio Zarrelli]

Hi,

after the latest firmware upgrade to a IBM DS 4700, the "Check for the IBM
ds4000 series totalstorage cabinet" stopped working.

I made a small fix to the perl plugin, just 2 lines. To have the plugin
working with the latest cli, make this substitutions:

Line 164

Change

if($line=~/Array status:\s*([^\s]*)/i) {

with

if(($line=~/Array status:\s*([^\s]*)/i) || ($line=~/Status:\s*([^\s]*)/i)) {


Line 167

Change

if(!defined($array_status) || !($array_status=~/online/i)) {

with

if(!defined($array_status) || !(($array_status=~/online/i) ||
($array_status=~/optimal/i))) {

Done, now it should work. The latest upgrade changes the output of cli
messages, that's why the script doesn't work anymore. The fix traps the
old and new status messages.

Hope it helps

Cheers,

Giorgio Zarrelli

Re: [Nagios-users] Host unreachable what's nagios do.

[Giorgio Zarrelli]

From the manual:

"When hosts change state (i.e. from UP to DOWN), the host reachability  
logic in Nagios kicks in. The reachability logic will initiate  
parallel checks of the parents and children of whatever hosts change  
state. This allows Nagios to quickly determine the current status of  
your network infrastructure when changes occur."

Giorgio

Re: [Nagios-users] passive host alive check?

[Giorgio Zarrelli]

Hi,

let's have a glance to the check-host-alive definition:

define command{
command_namecheck-host-alive
command_line$USER1$/check_ping -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w 3000.0,80%
-c 5000.0,100% -p 5
}

As you can see, it uses $HOSTADDRESS$ so, as long as in you host
definition you write:

host_name fantasy-name
address   xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

and the address is a valid ip, your check-host-alive will never try to
resolve the fake (aka not dns) name and will use "address" ip as the
target for check_ping.

In this way, on your web interface you will see the "fake" name but the
check will be done on the real ip address.

Giorgio

Re: [Nagios-users] $SERVICEOUTPUT$ missing from emails.. Nagios 3.2.1

[Giorgio Zarrelli]

Ok, found a workaround in this message:

http://www.mail-archive.com/nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg23566.html

Instead of

/usr/bin/printf "%b"

use

/bin/echo -e

so, notify-service-by-email becomes:

define command{
command_namenotify-service-by-email
command_line/bin/echo -e  "* Nagios *\n\nNotification
Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\n\nService: $SERVICEDESC$\nHost:
$HOSTALIAS$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nState:
$SERVICESTATE$\n\nDate/Time: $LONGDATETIME$\n\nAdditional Info
Aggiuntive:\n\n$SERVICEOUTPUT$ - $LONGSERVICEOUTPUT$" |
/usr/bin/mail -s "** $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ Service Alert:
$HOSTALIAS$/$SERVICEDESC$ is $SERVICESTATE$ **" $CONTACTEMAIL$
}


Cheers.

Re: [Nagios-users] $SERVICEOUTPUT$ missing from emails.. Nagios 3.2.1

[Giorgio Zarrelli]

Hi, this is the definition:

define command{
command_namenotify-service-by-email
command_line/usr/bin/printf "%b" "* Nagios
*\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\n\nService:
$SERVICEDESC$\nHost: $HOSTALIAS$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nState:

Info:\n\n$SERVICEOUTPUT$ - $LONGSERVICEOUTPUT$" | /usr/bin/mail -s
"** $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ Service Alert: $HOSTALIAS$/$SERVICEDESC$ is
$SERVICESTATE$ **" $CONTACTEMAIL$
}


And this is the output from notify-service-by-email, not showing
$SERVICEOUTPUT$ - $LONGSERVICEOUTPUT$:

* Nagios *

Notification Type: PROBLEM

Service: Totale Processi
Host: Nagios

Hi,

I have the same problem. Just the %SERVICEOUTPUT$ and "LONGSERVICEOUTPUT$

Hi,

 I am using Nagios 3.0.6 with Nagios plugins 1.4.14 on Linux with

 I am having a tuff time getting my nagios box running. Even after

After doing the changes ,when I run the below command it is not  
showing any errors or warnings.


/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg

But after this when I run the command service nagios restart,I get  
the following output.


[r...@ltcpnagprd01 objects]# service nagios restart

Running configuration check...done.

Stopping nagios: No lock file found in /usr/local/nagios/var/ 
nagios.lock


Starting nagios: done.

I have checked whether the nagios.lock file is present or not,please  
see below output.

[r...@ltcpnagprd01 var]# ls

Please someone help me on this..

Re: [Nagios-users] Monitor IBM storage from nagios.

[Giorgio Zarrelli]

As I told privately to Chris, I am short on time but if you find the  
right oids I can code a plugin and release in GPL v.3. I have a ds4000  
and a ds4700 to test on. Just matter of spare tine, but if I can avoid  
gettin crazy in finding them,  I can save time to code.

Re: [Nagios-users] Monitoring absense of bandwidth

[Giorgio Zarrelli]

Easy and brilliant :-)

Anyway:

Table 3. Example ranges

Range definition

Generate an alert if x...

10  < 0 or > 10, (outside the range of {0 .. 10})
10: < 10, (outside {10 .. ∞})
~:10> 10, (outside the range of {-∞ .. 10})
10:20   < 10 or > 20, (outside the range of {10 .. 20})
@10:20  ≥ 10 and ≤ 20, (inside the range of {10 .. 20})
10  < 0 or > 10, (outside the range of {0 .. 10})
Table 4. Command line examples

Command line

Meaning

check_stuff -w10 -c20	Critical if "stuff" is over 20, else warn if  
over 10 (will be critical if "stuff" is less than 0)

check_stuff -w~:10 -c~:20   Same as above. Negative "stuff" is OK
check_stuff -w10: -c20	Critical if "stuff" is over 20, else warn if  
"stuff" is below 10 (will be critical if "stuff" is less than 0)

check_stuff -c1:Critical if "stuff" is less than 1
check_stuff -w~:0 -c10	Critical if "stuff" is above 10; Warn if  
"stuff" is above zero

check_stuff -c5:6   The only noncritical range is 5:6
check_stuff -c10:20 Critical if "stuff" is 10 to 20

[Giorgio Zarrelli]

Hi,

the workflow for check/notification/escalation is the following:


1. The service/host is checked in OK state with the check_interval
timing;

2. As the service/host goes into a NON OK state, but didn't reach the
max_check_attempts, the service enters a SOFT NON OK state and the next
check is scheduled with the retry_interval timing;

3. As the service/host in NON OK state reaches the
max_check_attempts_value, the service enters an HARD NON OK STATE and
the next service/host check is scheduled with the check_interval timing;

4. Now, if you set first_notification_delay, this can alter the timing
for the first notification to be sent (0 means notifications to be sent
immediately);

5. If you didn't set the first_notification_delay, the first
notification is immediately sent and the following will be scheduled
with the notification_interval timing (0 means only the first
notification will be sent, the other will not be sent);

6. In your escalation, at the third notification (with the
notification_interval taking place), the notification interval changes
to 45 minutes, so the first notification will be sent after the
max_check_attempts value will be reached (assuming you didn't put any
delay), then the second after 10 time units, usually 10 minutes, the
third 10 mins after the second, the fourth 45 mins after the third, the
fifth 45 mins after the fourth, the sixth 45 mins after the fifth.


7. From the sixth notification, the new escalation comes into play. The
seventh notification will be sent after 60 minutes, and all the other
notifications will be sent 60 mins after each other. Keep in mind that
having used 0 as the last_notification value, you escalation will never
end till your check will return an OK status.


I do not know if I answered to your questions, I hope to have explained
the notification/escalation timings in a correct and clear manner.

On the Nagios wiki you will find a flowchart I wrote to clarify the
logic dealing with the notification framework.

Ciao,

Giorgio

First, check in the web interface the notifications history to see  
if the notification-by-email command is called along with the  
notification events.
