To: nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Nagios does a great job of monitoring/reporting to humans (or sysadmins, the nearest equivalent <G>), but can it also be used for machine-to-machine reporting? Example: machine X at my company wants to start a process that involves machines Y and Z. However, if either machine is down, X's proces should die quietly (no point in reporting Y or Z is down, since a sysadmin has presumably already been notified). Can machine X contact my nagios server for a machine-readable status of machines Y and Z? I realize I could wget/curl/lynx-source the page: http://nagios.mycompany.com/nagios/cgi-bin/extinfo.cgi?type=1&host=hostn ame and parse the output, but that seems ugly. Is there a "machine-readable" option for the page above that just prints "up", "down", "unknown", "parent down" or a number or something easy-to-parse like that? -- We're just a Bunch Of Regular Guys, a collective group that's trying to understand and assimilate technology.

To: nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed We have various systems that keep track of employee data: when an employee was last paid, hours of sick/vacation leave accrued, employee's laptop's last IP address (from DHCP server), last time employee's laptop was backed up (from backup server), whether employee is on-lave/traveling, whether the employee has been receiving email (vs employee's mailbox being full, account not setup properly, etc), etc. I realized we could use nagios' "passive service checks" to have the various systems upload employee data to our nagios server, but was wondering if this was fitting a round peg into a square hole. Is nagios a good tool for monitoring things that aren't machines? If not, what would be a good tool? One concern: nagios tends to treat data as almost "binary"-- either something is good (green) or bad (red) [yes, yellow + "unknown" also exist, but it's still almost binary]. In some cases, we're just looking to create an "employee status report" page that has text data on the employee (pushed from various servers), without necessarily categorizing the data as "good" or "bad". -- We're just a Bunch Of Regular Guys, a collective group that's trying to understand and assimilate technology.

To: nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Kelly, I admire your determination to use nagios in many versatile ways. Unfortunately, nagios is probably not the best fit in this case. This is especially true if you really intend to use passive checks instead of leveraging nagios' powerful scheduling or notification features. Plus, adding a new employee could be a potential nightmare if many systems are involved. The effort spent in getting nagios services set up and reto-fitted the way you need would be much better spent on a more conventional solution. Your situation is fairly unique, so I am unable to think of any ready-to-go solutions. In the long run it's probably easiest to periodically upload all this data to a database and put some php scripts together so you can view reports on that data over a web interface. -Aaron Devey Kelly Jones wrote: >We have various systems that keep track of employee data: when an >employee was last paid, hours of sick/vacation leave accrued, >employee's laptop's last IP address (from DHCP server), last time >employee's laptop was backed up (from backup server), whether employee >is on-lave/traveling, whether the employee has been receiving email >(vs employee's mailbox being full, account not setup properly, etc), >etc. > >I realized we could use nagios' "passive service checks" to have the >various systems upload employee data to our nagios server, but was >wondering if this was fitting a round peg into a square hole. > >Is nagios a good tool for monitoring things that aren't machines?

I have been recently trying the understand why the master server still has kernel "Out of memory" problems such that the kernel starts killing active processes and, in some cases, panics because there are no more processes to kill (this happens perhaps once or twice per week usually around 4:50 - 5:10 in the morning). As part of my investigations I have noticed that for a typical host 40% of tests are reported from the slave and 60% are run by the master. I can tell this because 40% of messages for this typical host in /var/log/nagios on the master server begin "EXTERNAL_COMMAND" and 60% of messages begin "Warning:". My question is why this should be ?

Is it because the slave server is configured to "obsess_over_services" ? There are a few entries in the nagios.log file for this host, but they refer only to Warnings (there were no critical problems on this host). I have compared the retention data file entries for this service and they are not significantly different. I have also run nagios -s /etc/nagios/nagios.cfg on the master and the slave servers; the output on both systems says "I have no suggestions - thinks look okay". So has the list any suggestions ?

If the master server thinks the check isn't fresh, it will then run an active check to see for itself. I'd tune in the freshness, and keep in mind the scheduling of the checks. If you configure your freshness to expire at five minutes, and the slave server schedules that check for once every six minutes, you are going to get behavior like you mentioned. -Jason -- -jq ------------------------------ Message: 17 Date: Wed, 25 Apr 2007 07:42:39 -0500 From: "Mark Thompson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] Monitoring DELL server without openManage To: " Nicole H?hnel " <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, <nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net> Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Nicole, I use a command called nwstat that will give you info from novell.

Just a simple script that pipes "$HOST\t$RESULT\t$OUTPUT\n" into send_nsca. I'll need to also pass in $HOSTSTATETYPE$ and exit if I don't see a HARD state. Thanks for the advice, this is a lot nicer way of dealing with this problem.

Thanks for your reply. However the tests are scheduled to run every 30 minutes on both master and slave servers (confirmed by checking in retention.dat file). If you look in the original message you will see that the master server is correctly running the command by freshness checking ("Warning" messages) every 30 minutes, but the slave results are at longer intervals ("EXTERNAL" messages) though roughly at some number of 30 minute intervals. What are the possibilities for results from command issued by the slave getting lost ? Why are OK results not recorded in the slave server logs ?

Whatever plugin it is didn't print any output the way that you're calling it. Either that or it's a magnetic anomaly caused by the rotation of the cesium atoms in the plugin output ;). Seriously, try running the plugin from the command line as the nagios user exactly as you have it defined in your configuration. Purely guessing, it's probably sending output to STDERR. In the future, please provide more specific information about your configuration, the plugin in question and how you're using it. The more helpful you are in providing information about your problem, the more helpful we can be in providing a useful answer. -- Marc ------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
