Re: [Nagios-users] Multiple parents: *any* or *all*?
If Any are up. It's a way of modelling a resilient network. On large network, it can become a bit messy (pairs of routers all cross-connected with virtual IPs, dynamic rerouting etc). In those cases, I tend to just add the virtual router IPs, or even skip the switches completely until getting to end links (which for the hosts I care about are usually single-homed international offices) -Original Message- From: Jack Bates [mailto:1j1...@nottheoilrig.com] Sent: 26 June 2012 10:28 To: nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Nagios-users] Multiple parents: *any* or *all*?

Re: [Nagios-users] Large scale installation
Doesn't it depend on how often you're performing the checks too? 1000 checks every 10 seconds is harder than 10,000 checks every hour. We have 589 hosts/3619 service on a 2 cpu 2.8GHz xeon with 1GB of ram, which does other things too. The machine is about 8-10 years old. The checks are scheduled every 4 minutes, however only 45% have run in the last 4 minutes. 95% have run in the last 15.

Re: [Nagios-users] Map
I have a question that I hope someone give me some guidance on. How do I view the map? What I try it still looks all jumbled together. The map is built automatically based on the parent/child relationship you have set in your host definitions. The default automap is fairly unusable once you hit a non-trivial number of hosts. We have 386 on ours, and nobody bothers. It doesn't help if you want to map certain services instead of hosts either. If you're keen on a map, you need to look at something like nagvis to do that. We have a nice map of the country/world showing connections to various overseas bureaus. Not too useful from a support point of view (most of it is green for most of the time), but is does give management something nice to look at.

Re: [Nagios-users] IP and hostname mapping control
We have a service that checks dns addresses. We run it against some of our
internal DNS servers (we're checking the DNS server is resolving, so the check
belongs on the dns server rather than the host you're interested in).
define service{
use infrastructure-dns-service
host_name dc1025,dc1026,dc1030
service_description DNS-myserver
check_command check_dns!myserver.com!4.5.6.7
}
define command{
command_namecheck_dns
command_line$USER1$/check_dns -H $ARG1$ -s $HOSTADDRESS$ -a $ARG2$
}
(I believe check_dns is a standard plugin)
So you'd have:
define service {
uselocal-service
host_name local.dns.server
service_description DNS resolving foo.mylan.com
check_command check_dns!foo.mylan.com!192.168.0.1

Re: [Nagios-users] monitor windows remote desktop from linux
Yeah, I understand what you mean. The problem is that before
you can monitor, you have to identify what exactly needs to
be monitored. And that's where the troubleshooting comes in.
I disagree. The OP would like to monitor remote desktop logins. As an
admin, I care that RDP is broken, not (neccersarilly) that the clock is
out of sync.
From then on, it could be anything from an authentication
issue to a protocol issue to an encryption issue, clock skew
(I'm not sure if the encryption in RDP is time-sensitive. I
don't think it is, but wanted to mention it), and the
monitoring needs to reflect the specific problem you are
monitoring for.
If you don't know what exactly is going wrong, there is a
high likelihood that you are monitoring the wrong thing and
don't actually detect when the users are experiencing a
problem - just as you saw with the sockets.
An ideal check would be for some meatware to sit infront of a computer,
log in with a few user names, check that the login is succesful, and
push a button which sets the nagios state to green. If they have a
problem, push a different button to set the light to red.
You may be able to get a perl module that can control remote desktop,
have a system log in, run a command, and log out. A quick google doesn't
show anything up, and experimentation with rdesktop -u USER -d DOMAIN
-p PASS -s SOMETHING.EXE $HOSTADDRESS$ seems to leave the session
logged in. You could create SOMETHING.EXE which made a call back to
nagios to say I'm working, but you'd need to get windows to log out
afterwards. A bit of windows scripting would probably do that for you,
so you would have something like
nagiosside
$ok = 0;
$port = 2345;
while ($ok == 0) {
$port++;
$ok = listenOnPort($port)
}
run_in_foreground(rdesktop -u USER -d DOMAIN -p PASS -s
remote_check.wsh $nagiosaddress $port $HOSTADDRESS$);
my ($status, $info) = receivedMsg();
print $info;
exit $status;
windowsside
my ($nagiosaddress, $port) = shift;
open_socket($nagiosaddress:$port);
print_socket(OK,Remote Desktop OK for user $USER);
close_socket();
logout();
For already-written plugins, check_x224 will give a better check than
check_tcp.

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios Reboot Notification
Sure it will. uptime is a counter that increases from 0 to infinity (essentially) and resets on reboot. The snmp check I use says that if that counter is less than 50,000ms (~8.3 minutes), show a WARNING. If you check every minute, you'd see a WARNING status for 7 or 8 minutes, then a reset to OK. You're pretty lucky if your box reboots inside a minute -- it takes about 2 minutes for most of our boxes to get through POST! them) or that it's checking _very_ frequently. There's no magic 'some box just rebooted' protocol... Hmm, a trap coming from the PSU (sudden current change), or switch (link going down then up) Most monitoring systems I've seen use uptime, keep a track of the last value, and the time it happened, then alert if that value resets to close to zero (or even if it returns outside of a predicted range). The reason you keep a track of the value is to avoid broken alerts when the snmp counter rolls over. http://www.bbc.co.uk/ This e-mail (and any attachments) is confidential and may contain personal views which are not the views of the BBC unless specifically stated.

[Nagios-users] WMI/WQL querying of HP boxes with Insight Manager
While it's not specifically a nagios question, it's related to plugins. After an afternoon of tearing my hair out, I've confirmed that I really hate windows. However, after finding a nice little package to query WMI from linux (wmi-client, it's tied into samba), I had hopes of interrorgating the HP Insight Manager we have installed on many boxes. Unfortunatly I can't find any examples of using WQL to query it, and while the information I can get out of windows (number of sticks of physical memory), is great for our cmdb, it's not something I really want to monitor with nagios. Has anyone got any experience with using WMI, specifically in talking to HP?

Re: [Nagios-users] HTTP and Web Form based Auth
How are folks checking site functionality with sites that use auth
*other* than basic (apache) auth?
I didn't find any plugins that support populating forms and posting.
I use a perl script and WWW:Mechanize. Here's a snippet of a check which
works on a site that stores you username as a cookie, having entered it
on a form. This check will keep that cookie, and only log in (the login
process can be very slow, but I want to know how quickly the rest of the

I have a similar check that always logs in, without using a cookie.
Cookies are stored in /tmp/pluginname.hostname.cookies.dat

Re: [Nagios-users] Monitoring switches via SNMP --

It's probably a -dev package, which you need to compile, but not to run, the plugin. Try installing libsnmp-dev snmp is already the newest version. libsnmp-base is already the newest version. libsnmp15 is already the newest version. snmpd is already the newest version. libsnmp-perl is already the newest version. Is there an inherent incompatibility between Ubuntu 8.10 and the check_snmp plugin? Do I need to go the all Perl/CPAN route?

ok, I now have (thanks to the group) my server up and currently just
watching one box... many more to be added. We also run cacti for
ethernet traffic, etc. and wondering can this be done as well.
I am looking on the nagios exchange site and don't see anything that
can
take that type of data, then graph it.
If it is possible, what requirements do I need (and should I have
already). I still need to install nagios graph and thought I would
just
start with my 1st simple machine, then add some ethernet traffic
in/out
to him and once he is checking everything I can simply add other
hosts...
Thanks as always..

Re: [Nagios-users] lazy nagios und cygwin...
Hello, we are running nagios 3.0.5 under cygwin quite successfully in a relatively simple setup That's surprising, but good news. I hope you don't rely on it (most check results come via NRPE from NSCA++ clients on windows machines). Everything is well, but sometimes a awkward thing happens: nagios just stops doing anything. - It continues to run : the processes are visible in the Windows process table - It ceases to execute checks: checks just stop bein executed - It ceases to write anything to a logfile - It also ceases to write anything to a debug file with Debug=16 (last entry is nothing suspicous) Interesting definition of quite successfully. After killing the nagios processes and restarting the windows service (nagios is registered as a windows service using the cygrunsrv facility) everything is back to normal. What I find most annoying is that even in the CGI output everything seems normal - just that the last checks are several hours overdue, but no alarm or other signal is shown. We are not sure if this is cygwin/windows related or if it is a problem which also happens in the normal unix environment I've never seen anything like it. Our main nagios installation has failed in the past -- the disk has filled up, preventing status updates, and the power has failed -- not the box UPS power, but the Aircon GS power, so we had to shut down as much as possible. If it happens again we wont be shutting down nagios, too essential. The Aircon should be powered by diesel generators, they didn't kick in (not nagios monitored you see!) Comments would be very welcome. I will now turn up debugging further in the hope that then we see something interesting. Cygwin != unix. At the core, windows deals with files and sockets in a very different way to linux and solaris (and probably other unixes) It wouldn't surprise me if the something changed with the status file. If you can't install a linux distro onto the box, run up a virtualbox environment to host nagios in. It wouldn't be perfect, but will probably be better than cygwin. -- Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H ___ 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

Re: [Nagios-users] So its running how I like it
The dependencies, hand-config user-creation, and the creation of the ghost files, can be done with a proper RPM -- which then means that two installations (by different people) are able to help each other a bit easier. It may also help the original OT poster get a canned install with little hand-monkeying, so easier to approach a canned ISO or a VM disk image. Whether it's worth it depends on how much you'll use it. The config should always be seperate, and I'd suggest libexec too (We're always adding custom plugins). If you run in a mixed mode environment (some 32 bit, some 64), separate your architecture-independent perl scripts from your binaries by using two libexec directories. Paul, did you think of using the RPM, and indicating the shortfalls (such as the perl dependencies that aren't portable to the host's RPM dependencies -- those always pop up) or other issues with the RPM? We have 35 custom .debs in a local repository. One of our nagios checks runs apt-get update every night for security checking, so we see which machines need upgrades. We haven't written a plugin that needs a perl module which isn't in the OS repository. It's easier to keep uptodate that way, and there's arround 1400 perl modules in the apt Repositories. The testing that needs to go into the installation scripts (to do it right) for something like a nagios install is much more intensive than most, which files to remove in preperation for upgrade, which to purge, which not to purge, what to do on failed upgrades, etc. Much easier to run one command after another and check for errors yourself. -- Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H ___ 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

A Bit like a check_cluster style plugin. Really critical issues filter to the top, other issues are dealt with when people have some free time (at least in theory). It uses a perl Nagios::Statuslog to get the status, which is a right pig (it takes 4.5 seconds to import the log), but as it sits there on a plasma automatically refreshing, it doesn't matter too much how long it takes to display. For our dev system, we use the following link /nagios/cgi-bin/status.cgi?host=allservicestatustypes=28hoststatustype s=3serviceprops=42sorttype=1sortoption=6 Which only displays services that aren't acknowleged or in downtime, with the most recent at the top.

Re: [Nagios-users] unable to send mail to external id
Dear Sir,
I have configure my nagios in Linux and I am getting email
notification in my local mail id but I didn't
get mail to my external id(Gmail or yahoo) . can you please help.
Nagios sounds like it is configured fine, it sounds like your local
machine isn't configured to send emails though - nagios uses the native
linux way of sending emails, which often isn't configured.
Try the following:
# echo Test from nagios|mail -s Test root
# echo Test from nagios|mail -s Test u...@yourcompany.com
# echo Test from nagios|mail -s Test u...@gmail.com
That should send three emails. I would guess the first one works. If the
others don't work, you need to set up your mail transfer agent (exim,
sendmail etc) to point to a smarthost, your companies internal smtp
gateway.
Alternativly, you could do the following
1) Change your command definition
define command{
command_namenotify-by-email
command_line ***
}
Replace the end of the line, which probably says something like
| /bin/mail -s Host $HOSTSTATE$ alert for $HOSTNAME$! $CONTACTEMAIL$
With
| $USER1$/sendEmail.pl $CONTACTEMAIL$ ** $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ alert -
$HOSTALIAS$/$SERVICEDESC$ is $SERVICESTATE$ **
E.G. (this only works for nagios 2.9)
/usr/bin/printf %b * Nagios 2.9 *\n\nNotification
Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\n\nService: $SERVICEDESC$\nHost:
$HOSTALIAS$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nState: $SERVICESTATE$\n\nDate/Time:
$LONGDATETIME$\n\nAdditional Info:\n\n$SERVICEOUTPUT$ |
$USER1$/sendEmail.pl $CONTACTEMAIL$ ** $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ alert -
$HOSTALIAS$/$SERVICEDESC$ is $SERVICESTATE$ **
2) Add sendEmail.pl (http://195.50.87.86/~npf/sendEmail.pl) to your
libexec directory, and change the mailServer and from to be valid
for your local network.

Re: [Nagios-users] Failover monitoring and acknowlegements
I thought I couldn't rsync the files because the running Nagios process on the failover server wouldn't notice the changed files. However, if I can have a script run check_nagios via check_by_ssh from a cron job (I don't know yet- I've never used check_by_ssh before), then Nagios doesn't need to be running all the time on the failover server. The cron job can start the failover Nagios if the primary Nagios isn't running, and stop the failover Nagios when the primary returns. Since the configurations on both servers would be the same, rsync could even keep Nagios itself, updated on the failover server without me having to do it manually. That the kind of thing what I was thinking. We already use subversion to keep our libexec directories the same over (currently) 3 sites, and keep the configs Uptodate, but the var directory gets a nightly rsync to the backup server.

Re: [Nagios-users] check for crash?
I'm wondering if anyone can give me suggestions as to how to
monitor a specific process to make sure it keeps running
properly. The specific issue I have is that I have a Java
Webstart applet running on OpenBSD
4.4 that, from time to time, randomly crashes. I can't just
use check_process (I don't think so, at least) because when
it crashes
the process never actually exits- it just stops working. I
have to go in and manually kill it before I can restart it.
When monitoring something new
1) how do you personally detect that its crashed
2) can that be automated?
3) If so, write a plugin.
4) If not, look at the things the applet has an affect on. For example:
Imagine a webbrowser pointing at a refreshing webpage. You can tell the
webbrowser is up (check_process), but that doesn't tell you it's
actually refreshing the page.
To check that, you could additionally monitor the apache log on the
webserver for the last time the IP address loaded the page
Something like
tac /var/log/apache2/access.log|grep $IP|head -1|awk '{print $4 $5}'
Without knowing what the applet does though, it's difficult to know how
to monitor it.

Nagios seems to be a good client monitor system. I was wondering if anyone also uses it as a client management system? By management, I mean running update scripts and other software on various Linux clients. The closest thing we do is monitor patches on machines. For debian machines, we use a modified check-apt perl script (originally from http://www.logix.cz/michal/devel/nagios, modified to do things like run apt-get update first) For windows machines, we snmp-poll the server and compare the listed KB patches against an internal list For solaris machines we're looking at check_solaris_pca - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100url=/___ 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

Re: [Nagios-users] Advanced authentication
applications. Once they're logged in there, we would pass their username over to Nagios via URL querystring or hidden form value, etc (not going for maximum security). Indeed not, anyone who wants can pretend to be anyone else. Still, if it's an internal intranet, and you capture the IP addresses, you can find out whodunit On the Nagios server we would use PHP to populate the REMOTE_USER Apache ENV variable with the passed username so that Nagios can compare that to the contacts and provide them with their applicable views. I'm afraid you can't do that. You would set the REMOTE_USER (or any other env) for the scope of that PHP page ONLY. One option would be to edit all the nagios CGIs to look for the username in the query string, and set the variable at the top of the CGI (in main). Or replace all instances of ENV.REMOTE_USER with a function which Another option might be to execute the cgi's from a PHP page which pre-sets the username. You could use mod_rewrite to rewrite *.cgi to nagportal.php?cgi=*.cgi. In both cases you would have to maintain the username throughout the session. If you edit all the links in nagios on the fly to pass in a new username, (change status.cgi to status.cgi?username=bob), you would have a problem with people emailing links to others. One option for this would be to use PHP's session capabilities to store the username. You would set a cookie with the username in and read it on each call. That would work with both the php and the editing-the-cgi way. Both of those solutions are a fair amount of effort. A final solution could be using the apache module SetEnvIf. Something like SetEnvIf Cookies:.*loginname=(username);.* REMOTE_USER=\1 But I don't think SetEnvIf will let you do that. What you're trying to do isn't that easy, as it goes against normal authentication practices. Is it necessary to modify the Nagios/cgi config in any way to achieve what we're doing? Perhaps Is is necessary to modify the Apache config? Perhaps Is is necessary to set any other ENV variables besides REMOTE_USER?

Re: [Nagios-users] Unmanaged switch
How about a new command called fakecheck, and apply to a dumbswitch
host with a 127.0.0.1 address. It would take a list of machines, and
check them all. If any of them are up, then the fakecheck would return
OK, otherwise it would return an error state.
Something like
#!/usr/bin/perl
my $up = 0;
my @hosts = qw/10.1.2.3 10.1.2.4 10.1.2.5 10.1.2.6/;
foreach $addr (@hosts) {
if (pingCheck($addr)) { $up++; }
}
if ($up 0) {
print OK: Switch must be up\n;
exit 0;
} else {
print CRITICAL: Switch may be down\n;
exit 2;
}
(If you're good at programming you could probably get a list of children
out of the config -- complex configs take a long time to read in using
perl though)
Another way of monitoring would be to have it powered off an SNMP
enabled MDU which can tell the current being drawn. You could then
measure that.

Folks,
What is the best way to include an unmanaged (read: IPless)
switch in Nagios? Obviously I can't monitor it directly, but
I'd like Nagios to be aware of it in the network heirachy so
that it is aware that it is a possible poit of failure. Can
I just define it as a host with no IP address and make it a
parent/client of the devices that attach to it or is there a
better way to approach this?

Re: [Nagios-users] How do I check if a website is up?
However if you use a squid proxy, running the service on the cache would
be a better choice.
If not, running on your external gateway might be a good idea. After
all, if your internet connection goes down, it doesn't mean
www.google.com isn't available -- it means you can't see it.

you define a service check with the fix parameters ( as i

that host will execute the check and report the status

If you have that website in your network , you can just define the

parameters the specific URL you wish to query .
-u, --url=PATH
URL to GET or POST (default: /)
Or you can define a check on the nagios server it self to query the
web site like this :
# 'check_website' command definition
define command{
command_namecheck_website
command_line$USER1$/check_http -H www.website.com

If not , then you need to build a new host definition and service

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios 3 structure
I would suggest putting your nagios configuration into subversion. Initially you can see who makes changes, and roll back any you don't like. You could then move to adding hooks in to check the config before hand. Perl scripts are all you need for batch updates (like adding n number of hosts to a new service group, which I started doing a couple of days ago) Our (nagios 2) layout is a little like this: ./etc/nagios.cfg inherits commands.cfg (all commands) inherits time.cfg (all time periods) inherits template.cfg (default template -- hourly notification, 24/7 checks, 4 minute checks, 30 second retrys) inheirts directories contacts system-infrastructure (routers, dns, etc) system-system1 system-system2 system-system3 Each of those has their own templates, which overrides things like contact details, and sub directories based on the system (so system-foo contains components midtier, database, media, etc) Each directory eventually has a single file (usually hostname.cfg) for each host, containing host definition and services. E.g. ./system-live/template_live.cfg ./system-live/quantel/template_live_quantel.cfg ./system-live/quantel/bidir1.cfg ./system-live/quantel/clipcache06.cfg ./system-live/quantel/clipcache01.cfg ./system-live/midtier/template_live_midtier.cfg ./system-live/midtier/newsjtcapp02.cfg ./system-live/midtier/newsjtcapp23.cfg ./system-live/midtier/newsjtcapp11.cfg ./system-live/other/template_live_other.cfg ./system-live/other/newsjtcmpp26.cfg ./system-live/other/newsjtcvtr01.cfg ./system-live/other/newsjtcmpp16.cfg ./system-live/other/newsjtccodec04.cfg -- Paul Weaver Systems Development Engineer -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ronaldo A.

Re: [Nagios-users] using nagios in my own website
The host/service status is stored in /usr/local/nagios/var/status.dat (or wherever you nagios install is). This is a plain text file with the status of every host and service in it. You can read it yourself however you want, but some languages may have a module for reading the file -- perl has a Nagios::StatusLog module in cpan, or often via your distribution (With ubuntu apt-get install libnagios-object-perl) You could also, I believe, look at NDO, which sends nagios data out to a mysql database. -- 09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0 Paul Weaver Systems Development Engineer News Production Facilities, BBC News Work: 020 8225 8109 Mobile: 07736 481006 Room 1244, BBC Television Centre, Wood Lane, London, W12 7RJ -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of localyee Sent: 04 September 2008 19:13 To: nagios-users Subject: [Nagios-users] using nagios in my own website hi,i'm using the nagios to monitor the service,and i just want to get the data of nagios module,and don't want to using the website of nagios,how can i display the data in my own website, how can i get the data with the interface of nagios,can any one give some suggestion. your kind help would be great appreciated. 2008-09-05 localyee http://www.bbc.co.uk/ This e-mail (and any attachments) is confidential and may contain personal views which are not the views of the BBC unless specifically stated.

Re: [Nagios-users] expire a passive check result.
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf
Of Rui Miguel Silva Seabra
Hello,
When using passive checks, you *should* do the following:
define service {
...
check_freshness 1
freshness_threshold 660
...
Helpful, though sparse, hints? :D
Rui
I've being playing with passive checks recently. We have some trap-style
alerts. Most of these traps we can back up with a polling check, -- e.g.
1) disk fails, we get a notification instantly, but we can then snmp
check the machine to confirm the disk has failed, and note when it's
fixed.
2) A server reboots, we get a trap, but an uptime check would confirm
the situation and allow the service-status page to show an error on the
server until it has being running for 15 minutes (we have servers that
get into reboot loops, it's nice to know how long the server is out
for).
In those instances, I believe the best soltuion is to have a service set
up for normal polling every x minutes, but accept external service state
commands to force them to critical/warning (or just force a check)
Some errors though, we want to show on the service problem state page
for x minutes (as they can lead to issues, and it's handy to have a red
blob to point you in a possible direction), but we have no way of
knowing when the fault is fixed. Some of our servers don't accept any
kind of polling for disk/fan/etc states, but do send traps.
I know that the alert history can show these problems, and we can set
the service to be volatile (?) but that's a different page which
involves support people taking time out of their youtubing to look for
errors.
For now, I have these logged to a database at the moment, and have a
service that looks at the results in the table for the last n minutes,
which isn't ideal. What I'd like is a semi-volatile option -- a
passive service that when triggered, remains warning/critical for m
minutes before returning to OK.
I was thinking of firing an event handler to sleep 600;
set_service_to_ok, with some form of locking, would that be the right
solution?

Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] check_disk_smb question
did you define the command to go with it ?
Some thing like this ?
define command{
command_namecheck_disk_samba
command_line$USER1$/check_disk_smb -H
$HOSTADDRESS$ -s Company -u foo -p bar -w
$ARG1$ -c $ARG2$
See if you have it in the commands or checkcommands file.
The way nagios works
1) You define a host
2) You define a command
3) You define a service, which belongs to a host, and has a command
In this case you'd want something like this. This will allow you to
monitor any share on any host, with a username/password of foo/bar
Commands.cfg:
define command{
command_namecheck_disk_samba
command_line$USER1$/check_disk_smb -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -s
$ARG1$ -u foo -p bar -w $ARG2$ -c $ARG3$
}
Host.cfg:
define service {
use generic-service
host_nameharrold
service_description SMB
check_commandcheck_disk_smb!Company!80!90!
}
(as an aside, the version of check_disk_smb I have (or rather the
version of smbclient) seems to fail once the file share goes over about
2TB, so I have to use snmp in those cases, however that's fairly
irellevent.)

Re: [Nagios-users] nagvis ideas?
It seems to me, that there are 2 basic ways to view our conglomeration of systems. One is geographic, and the 2nd is from a network topology point of view. Frankly I think a nagvis presentation of both would be useful. The network topology version is fairly straightforward (I think, but I would like to here others point of view on this). The geographic version however, frankly I am struggling with. If I show the systems on the large area map, they are fairly spread out. I am thinking of doing that, and making dynamic links for each cluster. These links would be color coded based upon the status of all of the computers in that cluster, and would provide a link to a more detailed view. I'd love to hear what other peoples thoughts on this are. Our old monitoring solution was a product called solarwinds, the main view was a map which had little icons for various machines (it didn't monitor a lot more, great for monitoring all the interfaces on the network, but useless for system monitoring) I felt the map was pointless. If something did break, you would get a little red dot in the corner. When I implemented Nagios I decided to ignore nagviz for a bit. The only map I can see being off use would be something like http://www.nagvis.org/sites/default/files/screenshots/c_by_dave_rearden_ 2.png If you had a monitor hanging in the apps room. but even then, we rarely have hardware problems, and if we do, the machine will have a flashing red led. And even if we didn't, they're all labelled. If you are truly physically seperated (not just different rooms in the same building, on the same power feed) http://www.nagvis.org/sites/default/files/screenshots/nagvis_map_2.png Could show you areas where there are invading tanks knocking out your infrastructure, but a network topology might be better. (Of course if you use nagios to monitor your country's defence systems, a physical map might be a good way of doing it) 1 of the 3 nagios installations I know about here have a default screen of service problems. Our installation has a custom-written screen which highlights problems affecting users. The other isn't a real nagios installation, it was provided by an external company -- it barely monitors hosts, and only does about 20 anyway, the statusmap is fine for that. I'd be interested to know how many people find maps helpful for anything other than impressing management. http://www.bbc.co.uk/ This e-mail (and any attachments) is confidential and may contain personal views which are not the views of the BBC unless specifically stated.

Re: [Nagios-users] SNMP disk checking in Windows NTFS mounted system
The NTFS Mounted Point File System in Windows is a File
System mounted
in a Subdirectory, but still a Mounted File System., but a
got your point.
Do you Known any other way in other to get the free space percent in
this kind of cenario ?
A couple of options
1) Create a second mountpoint for the drive as a letter -- I have a
server that has C:\mysql\data as a separate drive. I've additionally
mounted this as M:, and can use SNMP to look at the M: drive. I've had
issues with SNMP on windows 2000 before, it sometimes fails to report
the correct value.
2) You can also use samba, pass in a host, share, username and password,
the plugin used smbclient to do a DIR. Seems to work for me, I knocked
up a plugin for internal use which does this, basically it does:
open(PH, smbclient //$host/$share -U$username \$password\ -c \dir\
2/dev/null);
While (PH) {$lastLine = $_;}
Then checks for /NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME/, /NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED/
and no output, then checks for the nnn blocks of size xx. Yyy blocks
If it finds it, it takes the number used as
100*(blockused/(blockused+blockfree))), which gives me x%
It then returns this value, and nagiosgrapher parses it to plot a graph.
(Don't ask why we have mysql on a windows server!)

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios and cluster setup...few questions
Lacking the time and knowledge to understand monitoring clusters, I concocted a home brew web page that has the concept of a virtual service, and virtual service groups. It's all configured in an XML file. I have a virtual service called clipcache 01, one called clipcache 02, and so on. Easch service has two checks pulled from the nagios status file, using hostname and service description. If both are OK, then the virtual service is ok, otherwise it's critical. I then have a group called Clipcaches, which looks at the number of virtual services, and is critical if none ar running, warning if 1 is running, or OK if 3 or more are running. A group called live system monitors the clipcaches group, amongst others, and exports it's status back up. It also looks for shceduled downtime and acknowlegments. Another group that's a member of live system is midtier, which consists of checks of virtual service Main midtier (which monitors a certain process on one of 3 machines, must be on one, and one only, to be OK), Search instance, which is OK if 2 instances are found on one of 4 machines, warning if 1, and critical if 0, and a few other checks. The program then displays this as a tree on a webpage, expanding branches with problems, it gives a quick comforting overview of the whole system, while nagios' Service Problems page gives a list of things to fix (which might not be of immediate importance to the overall health of the system, but need fixing anyway) It does it using Perl's Nagios::StatusLog module. No idea how well it scales, and I'm sure there's a better way of doing it. It's definatly a work in progress, and has made me think a lot more about defining system health. -- Paul Weaver Systems Development Engineer News Production Facilities, BBC News Work: 020 822 58109 Room 1244 Television Centre, Wood Lane, London, W12 7RJ -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tarak Patel Sent: 09 October 2007 14:32 To: nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Nagios-users] Nagios and cluster setup...few questions Hi all, Here is a quick background of my current setup for monitoring: I have an in-house tool monitoring clusters. The tool simply uses ssh to launch perl scripts on remote machines and grab all of the output to stores it on a central location in a logfile. This output is parsed and for any pre-defined tags (WARNING/CRITICAL/ERROR). If any of these tags are noticed the message is logged using syslog. The scripts residing on remote hosts is a collection of perl functions. Each one is executed one after another. Some of these functions utilize a status file from previous run to verify if state of items changed from last time. Some of these functions can be given a special argument to set the current state as default state for next iteration of checks. Cluster are monitored from the head nodes since not all nodes are accessible from central location. Head node checks contain a special function that simply use DSH to launch checks on all nodes. After looking at nagios and its check_cluster plugins I realized I would really like to monitor each of the nodes individually since I want to be able to disable a particular check on a particular node. Also I want to be able to use status files for some of the checks. As of now I have yet to find any plugin that utilizes a status file to monitor hosts. All plugin simply use current output from commands to verify the status. I will be using active checks on the clusters therefore I will configure nrpe on all nodes. My plan of attack was to simply use head node as a gateway and all nodes and services to be defined on the head node (under nrpe). From central location I can simply execute a check_nrpe type script to verify backend nodes. I still haven't figured out how I can use status files from each iteration of checks to validate status. I'd appreciate some inputs as to what are the best options in monitoring clusters where backend nodes are hidden from the central monitoring server. Also some help with use of state files.

I'm no expert in python or passive results, however you appear to be
opening the file for write access. Have you tried opening for append (w+
perhaps?)

Subject: [Nagios-users] FW: Nagios: Error while writing to pipe
Hi All,
I am new to Nagios, I am trying to receive SNMP Trap
from Windows client machine. I am using Python script to see how Nagios
can create an event/alert
by checking Passive Service Check Result submitted by this
script.
I have attached the Python script which is used write
Passive Service check Result to Nagios external command file
for creating an alert/event. But when I run this script
--
[EMAIL PROTECTED] eventhandlers]# pwd
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/eventhandlers
[EMAIL PROTECTED] eventhandlers]# python snmptraphandling.py
10.207.40.203 CRITICAL 12

[EMAIL PROTECTED] eventhandlers]#

I get following error:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] rw]# tail -f nagios.cmd
[1190731734]
PROCESS_SERVICE_CHECK_RESULT;10.207.40.203;snmp_trap_handling_critical;2
; 12
tail: nagios.cmd: file truncated
tail: nagios.cmd: cannot seek to offset 0: Illegal seek
[EMAIL PROTECTED] rw]#

nagios.cmd is a pipe:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] rw]# ls -l
total 0
prw-rw 1 nagios nagcmd 0 Sep 25 20:18 nagios.cmd
[EMAIL PROTECTED] rw]#
[EMAIL PROTECTED] rw]# pwd
/usr/local/nagios/var/rw
why I am getting Illegal seek error. I have tried to use this
script to a normal read write file and it works fine, but while writing
to a pipe it is
showing error. If the problem is due to the script then it could
be here
output = open('/usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd', 'w')
print return_code
results = [ + mytime + ] +
PROCESS_SERVICE_CHECK_RESULT; \
+ host + ; + snmp_trap_handling_ + service_suffix +
; \
+ return_code + ; + mondata_res + \n
output.write(results)
It could be file(pipe) permission problem, I have no idea.
I have followed below link to give permission to nagios.cmd

[Nagios-users] Best way to monitor application clusters
I've recently started using nagios in our development environment, and have knocked a few plugins for some of our programs (i.e. monitor a log on a remote server to make sure it's growing, but not growing too fast or too slow, or jumbo pings between two remote machines), which is very impressive. One thing I would like to monitor is a group of hosts/services, and flag a warning if x% are not available, and a critical if y% are offline. A common example would be checking DNS services. If you have 4 DNS servers, you don't want to be woken up at 3AM if one falls offline, but if 3 are offline you would, and if 4 are offline you want an APB. You still want to see the servers are offline though on a webpage, and possible a notification in work hours. I'm aware of host/service groups, being one way of doing it, however I'm unsure if notifications can be set based on % of hosts/services available in a group. Another way would be a virtual host, with a custom check_host_alive which checks all hosts in a collection, and returns an OK/critical/warning based on the number of failures, and likewise with virtual services. The original hosts could then be monitored separately, or even not at all. For example, a service I would like to check is whether 3 mysql databases are in sync with each other. I currently have a web page that compares the log positions. It seems to me that logically the service should run on the mysql boxes, however I only want it running on Another example would be I have a piece of java software (call it A) that must run on at least one of 4 machines, and preferably on 2 of them. I don't care which machine it's on, but if it's not running I want to be notified in red lights. I could have a simple virtual service A, which would critical on 0, warn on 1 and OK on 2 or more. This would be attached to virtual host A, which would critical on 0, warn on 1 and OK on 2 or more of the servers that the service runs on. I'd also like a simple login to the web page which would only display the clusters of services/hosts, rather than the total view, which would allow our support engineers to easilly see real problems, and allow management to sleep hapilly with lots of green lights. I must admit I'm leaning to the virtual host/service thing, but I was wondering if there's a standard/better way of monitoring these kind of things?
