Thanks everyone! It turns out there is a dependency for check_mysql_query to compile correctly. I installed the dep, recompiled, and now have access to it.

If certain status codes show up, then generate an alert. Is there something available off the shelf that can do this? FWIW, you might be looking at the wrong end of the problem. Instead of having Nagios constantly query the database for your status codes, why don't you add a trigger on the table to do what you want when the record is updated. This could include generating a trap or notifying Nagios though another method. It's much more efficient to work with the actual data at the source, than to keep watching from the outside. http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/create-trigger.html Terry -- Achieve unprecedented app performance and reliability What every C/C++ and Fortran developer should know.

The NRPE, Nagios Remote Plugin Executor, software can be installed on the Linux
systems along with the plugins that are also
present on the server. The combination of the two will enable you to monitor the

Re: [Nagios-users] Newbie Question.. Monitoring Lnux machines.
Well, local lan really doesn't have to do with it. You CAN use SNMP for
some of the checks, my in my experience you can't get everything from
SNMP or as detailed info on some things, so I always use NRPE. If you
are monitoring the local machine, (localhost) then you obviously don't
need an agent, but if you are monitoring other servers you'll need with
SNMP or NRPE.

Re: [Nagios-users] newbie question...
So there is no way of getting just the host down alert when a host goes down ? To explain a little, lets say I'm monitoring CPU, memory and disk space on a host. The host goes down and Nagios sends an alert by email for the host down event and also for the CPU, memory and disk space events. All I need to know about this event is that the host is down. Just think that it's not neccessary to send an alert email about services on a host that is down. /Arnar Marc Powell m...@ena.com 05/31/2009 03:53 PM To Nick Hasser nick.has...@gmail.com cc nagios-user Mailinglist nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject Re: [Nagios-users] newbie question...

Just think that it's not neccessary to send an alert email about services on a host that is down. And so does nagios. As I said earlier, nagios does this automatically. To restate - when a host is down, nagios suppresses all e-mail notifications about that hosts services, but will still display them as down in the GUI. It will only send the host down notification. The first section of http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/networkreachability.html states it best. It still applies to 3.x but I haven't found the section that states it as clearly. -- Marc If I'm interpreting your question correctly, you're saying that when one of your servers actually goes down, you ARE getting alerts (email/SMS/whatever) for more than just the host being down??? I see what Marc's saying... he's telling you this shouldn't be. Nagios was built to check first that the host is up and reachable, and if its not to notify you the host is down, but to not ALERT you about all host-dependent tests that are now failing. Nagios will still try all tests and fail on them and the web interface will reflect more than just the HOST DOWN, but the only email/SMS you get should be for the HOST DOWN. However, you may need to clarify what you mean by *down*. *Down* does not always mean off or 100% non-responsive. In the case of *nix systems I've seen quite a few times where a server will hang, fail, or segfault but still be reachable over the network. The reason is that parts of the OS are in memory and things like pings from remote hosts still respond, even though the overall functionality of the host itself is down (ISP's get this a lot: host pings, but you can't ssh in, for example). If Nagios can ping the host, it will then try the other tests and alert on them. Here's a quick way to narrow this down: turn off the server (shut down and pull power). The Nagios web interface should show the host down and all tests as failing, but the only email/SMS you should get is the host down. If you still get emailed/alerted then you might have a configuration error. Perhaps you didn't properly define your host checks as opposed to service checks? Do you have a check_ping or check_icmp host check for each host?

Re: [Nagios-users] Newbie question - check_snmp syntax
Hi Patrick,
Thank you for the detailed explanation.
Yes, I am just polling SNMP for values. The switches provided in the
check_snmp service are values that the plugin seems to require. The SNMP
version is always 2c and the community string is public. If I do not specify
-L noAuthNoPriv¹ the switch defaults to authPriv¹. I have now removed this
switch.
Also the delimiter used by check_snmp is ³=². If I use this delimiter in the
netapp.cfg file, nagios complains about a syntax error in the file. If -m¹
is not specified it defaults to ALL¹. Is that a bad thing? I have also
changed -m¹ to -o¹.
What I found to be odd is that nagios seems to have picked up the value for
the OID at some time in the past and then lost it. From the nagios.log
file

What am I doing wrong?
First, a couple points:
NMP traps are not something you can get using check_snmp. They are sent
from a device to something that listens for SNMP traps, and aren't
something you can poll for. In the example you gave, however, it
appears you're polling for the sysUpTime.0 OID from SNMP, which is not
a trap, so maybe you're just using the wrong terminology. If you are
trying to receive traps, though, your current approach will never work.
Now, if you're just polling SNMP for values, you've got a workable
start. However, The result you say you're receiving in Nagios cannot be
the result of the configs you've supplied. You're also mixing commands
in a way that doesn't make much sense. For example, you specify to use
SNMP version 2, but also include the -L switch, which only applies to
SNMP version 3. You're also going to have trouble with the -d ! part
of the command line, probably, and I doubt you even need it. You're
also not specifying the OID you want to poll. The -m flag specifies a
MIB to load -- a MIB is generally a file containing information about
the OIDs available on a device, but the -o switch is the one to use to
specify the data you want returned.
It's also unclear what, if anything, you've done on the NetApp as far as
SNMP configuration, so that could very well be a problem as well.
