htpasswd.users is only readable by root. To fix, run as root --

chmod 640 /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users
chown nagios:nagcmd /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users

When you add new users or edit the file, do so as the nagios user or
verify permissions afterward.

Re: [Nagios-users] event_handlers macro contactemail

[Carlos de Sousa]

Thanx again for your answer, I think things are getting clearer now!

Actually, it is not a fire-and-forget kind of thing.

I started with Nagios V1 a long time ago, and are using
the eventhandler to send snmptraps to a TEMIP console.

I have developed our own "NAGIOS-MIB" that is integrated into
TEMIP (remember this was long before V2 was announced)

to Keep the TRAP and TRAP_CLEAR in SYNC, the eventhandler
uses a sequence number for the alarm, and the eventhandler
keeps a STATE database with seq number, so for example, when I get
a UP or OK from Nagios, I lookup the host/service pair in
the local DB and send off a CLEAR/RESET trap with the same SEQ number
as when SERVICE/HOST went CRITICAL/DOWN.

So it's imperative that I always have a matching UP/OK
for each DOWN/CRITICAL, that is basically the only
states I bother to handle.

One of the many MIB variables in the TRAP is a URL, that
contains all kind of info, When the NOC people see the alarm
in TEMIP, we have a modification so that they get a drop-down menu
with the choice to surf to the URL, which will bring up a WEB
browser containing alarm instructions (dynamically generated
by a CGI I have developed that gets the information for the Instruction 
thru the URL in the MIB)


And that is why I would like to send the CONTACT to be able to present
it on the Alarm Inst. WEB page so the NOC knows where to send any 
questions too as we have different TEAM's that manages different

hostgroups

We are also doing HEARTBEAT functionality so that TEMIP gets an alarm
if the NAGIOS processes are not running on the box, but that is another 
story.


Is there a better way of doing this with Nagios V2? I have seen
some references to a NAGIOS MIB for V2, but haven't looked any closer.

Would the notification be sufficient to trig the above mentioned states?

We have around 600 devices around the world that we monitor from 3 
different NAGIOS thats uses my stuff to send all alarms to 1 central TEMIP.


Any suggestions?

Appreciate any input.

Regards
Carlos de Sousa

An event-handler is run for every non-OK check up to max_check_attempts

Would I still be able to use the above macros through a notification

I presume you'd be adding $CONTACTEMAIL$ and $CONTACTPAGER$ to the above

Notifications column, whichever you are going to use --

Would the macros above contain the exact same information if I used

Yes, with the caveat that they're only run when the check reaches a HARD

always be max_check_attempts for that host (I believe).

^^

Apache can not read this file either due to filesystem permissions on
the file itself or directories above it. The file isn't being accessed
by nagios but rather the user that apache is running as (apache?
nobody?). You will need to allow sufficient permissions for apache to be
able to read the file.

If you do not know how to do that, post back the following -

ls -l /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users
ls -l /usr/local | grep nagios
ls -l /usr | grep local
grep ^User /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
grep something /etc/group (where something is the what follows User in
the last grep (i.e. apache or nobody))

[Nagios-users] Authentication Issues

[Jody Noscov]

Hi There,

I have been having problems with authenticating my nagiosadmin user. It 
keeps prompting me. I have gone through the documentation over and over and 
did a complete reinstall of RedHat(8), just in case. I have a fresh new 
install of nagios, but am still recieving the prompt.

I checked the error file and recieved this:
[Fri Mar 10 10:06:38 2006] [error] [client 192.168.49.5] (13)Permission 
denied: Could not open password file: /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users
[Fri Mar 10 10:06:38 2006] [error] [client 192.168.49.5] user nagiosadmin 
not found: /nagios
The only thing I have changed this time around is the folder in which the 
nagios user owns. It was the owner of /home/nagios even though i followed 
the documentation and used the 'chown nagios.nagios /usr/local/nagios' 
command.
I have also re added the nagiosadmin user again using 'htpasswd -c 
/usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users nagiosadmin' command.


Also have added the following snippet to the httpd.conf file:

ScriptAlias /nagios/cgi-bin /usr/local/nagios/sbin


   Options ExecCGI
   AllowOverride None
   Order allow,deny
   Allow from all
   AuthName "Nagios Access"
   AuthType Basic
   AuthUserFile /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users
   Require valid-user


Alias /nagios /usr/local/nagios/share


   Options None
   AllowOverride None
   Order allow,deny
   Allow from all
   AuthName "Nagios Access"
   AuthType Basic
   AuthUserFile /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users
   Require valid-user


I am still recieving this error. (BAH!)

Yes, that helps... thanks for the info.  I did in fact find this line
in httpd.conf:

/etc/init.d/apache2 configtest

and verified that the nagios.conf exists in conf.d.

Believe it or not, I was not aware that the install method (rpm vs.
source) could change the setup procedure.  Good info.

RE: [Nagios-users] help please - SNMP

[Mike Koponick]

Robert,

 

Here is a brief sample of a check_snmp
command that I using to grab the system description.

 

define service {

    use   Sensor-ND

    hostgroup_name    Switches,Routers,Firewalls

    service_description
Check-ND-Show-version

    check_command    check_snmp!sysDescr.0!public

    register    1

    }

 

I do use a template for this one, but it’s
fairly simple (mostly defaults).

 

When I want to find out what an OID is, or
?? I use snmpwalk to “walk” the MIB of the device. It gives enough
information so you will want to start drinking early in the day. ;-)

 

 

I hope that helped.

 

Mike

There is a patch at

Jim, glad you like the patch. Ethan has committed it into Nagios 3.x,  
but has not chosen to put it into the 2.x branch. Make sure you let  
Ethan know if it should be in - if there's a lot of users, then I'm  
sure he'll reconsider.


I'll try and make sure it always applies cleanly to 2.x.

However, Alan's request won't work with this patch. He wants a user  
to be able to acknowledge an alert (which would involve submitting a  
command) but not disable services/hosts (which is submitting a  
different command). The patch only says whether a user can submit or  
not. There's no granularity in the types of commands in Nagios yet.

Subject: [Nagios-users] event_handlers macro contactemail

Hi!

I am in real need for having access to the $CONTACTx$ macros in my
eventhandlers. I am running Nagios V2.

Would I get it to work if I did the following?


define command {
command_name   send_snmptrap_host
command_line   /usr/bin/perl
$USER1$/eventhandlers/send_nagiostrap $ARG1$ $ARG2$

}

define host {
 name   NOC-MAIN

 event_handler_enabled  1  ; Host event handler is


enabled



 register   0  ; DONT REGISTER THIS


DEFINITION


 notifications_enabled  0
 event_handler
send_snmptrap_host!$CONTACTEMAIL$!$CONTACTPAGER$
 contact_groups NOC
}




No, the $CONTACT*$ macros are not available to event handlers. See the
chart at --

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/macros.html




Any other suggestion?



Why not make a contact whose notification command runs
send_nagiostrap_host and associate them with that host? You could also
build in logic into send_nagiostrap_host to gather that information from
some other source or the nagios config files themselves if the contact
route isn't acceptable to you.



would it work if I put the event_handler keyword in the host
definition for the host instead of in a template?



No, they're just not available to the event_handler subsystem at all.

The check_command for a host or service definition is a reference to a
command{} definitions command_name, not the direct command line that is
run. You either need to hard-code your '-a foo:bar' to the actual
command{} definition itself like 

define command{
command_namecheck_http
command_line$USER1$/check_http $HOSTADDRESS$ -t 45 -a
foo:bar
}

Or pass it as an argument from your service{} definition to a properly
configured command{} definition like

define command{
command_namecheck_http
command_line$USER1$/check_http $HOSTADDRESS$ -t 45 -a $ARG1$
}

define service{
use generic-service
host_name   somehost
service_description MY_HTTP_CHECK
retry_check_interval3
contact_groups  whoever
check_command   check_http!foo:bar
}

In the above example, 'foo:bar' becomes $ARG1$ and is substituted into
the command_line for the command_name check_http.

If you've installed from source, that will be sufficient. To be sure,
look at the values for cfg_file, log_file, status_file, comment_file,
downtime_file and log_archive_path in nagios.cfg.

tac.cgi is built from cgi/tac.c. If you just need to import an image
from some other system, then edit the file and modify the HTML
portion to do the IMG SRC in the desired location. What you want
is probably in the display_tac_overview function.  Edit that
then recompile.

If you want Nagios to create that BW monitoring image for
you,well, that is a much larger task.

[Nagios-users] Data File Storage

Hello,

Assuming I have not changed any default paths, where would the Nagios data
files be held?

Basically, I'm looking to add directories into our backup, and so far I've
just included "/usr/local/nagios/". Should I include anywhere else, or is
the historical data kept in this directory as well?

Thanks in advance,

[Nagios-users] Modifying the TAC.cgi file

[Hathaway, Adam B.]

I was wondering how I would go about modifying the tac.cgi
file.  What I want to do is create a network bandwidth monitor that displays on
the tac.cgi file itself.  I searched around but all I really found was how to
change colors.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: [Nagios-users] help please - SNMP

[Eli Stair]

I think those all came through OK.

Check the docs for {net|ucd}-snmp, and the help for check_snmp.*  For 
instance, find out what version of what plugin you're using, what 
mechanism it uses to read the MIB and access SNMP (bash/perl exec of the 
binaries, perl module, direct binary implementation compiled-in, etc).


Sounds also like you'll want to determine what it is you actually want 
to poll via SNMP, and whether it's a static value (temp/PS/FAN/link 
state) or time-dependent (network traffic, IOps/sec, etc).


If you don't have those questions answered, you might want to start with 
installing your MIBs in the net-snmp search path (try the net-snmp FAQ ; 
'export MIBS=all'), and saving the output to peruse vs. the MIB while 
you're reading it.  In the situation it sounds like you want, you'll 
have to understand not just Nagios but SNMP as well.

No, the $CONTACT*$ macros are not available to event handlers. See the
chart at --

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/macros.html


> Any other suggestion?

Why not make a contact whose notification command runs
send_nagiostrap_host and associate them with that host? You could also
build in logic into send_nagiostrap_host to gather that information from
some other source or the nagios config files themselves if the contact
route isn't acceptable to you.

Yes, there's are specific FAQ entries on sending SMS messages and lots
of discussion in the list archives. Search for SMS in those resources.
Basically you configure an SMS sending program (yaps, sms-client, etc)
and set it as your notification command.

[Nagios-users] event_handlers macro contactemail

[Carlos de Sousa]

Hi!

I am in real need for having access to the $CONTACTx$ macros in my
eventhandlers. I am running Nagios V2.

Would I get it to work if I did the following?


define command {
command_name   send_snmptrap_host
command_line   /usr/bin/perl 
$USER1$/eventhandlers/send_nagiostrap $ARG1$ $ARG2$


}

define host {
 name   NOC-MAIN

 event_handler_enabled  1  ; Host event handler is enabled 



 register   0  ; DONT REGISTER THIS DEFINITION

 notifications_enabled  0
 event_handler 
send_snmptrap_host!$CONTACTEMAIL$!$CONTACTPAGER$

 contact_groups NOC
}

define host {
 use   NOC-MAIN
 host_name host1
 alias my host1
 address   xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
 check_command check-host-alive
}

Any other suggestion?

would it work if I put the event_handler keyword in the host
definition for the host instead of in a template?

I have seen the mailing list archives, and there are other
people that have asked for the same thing, but they where
running Nagios V1 I think, so I wonder if this is duable
for Nagios V2.

Really greatfull for a solution, and no, I am not going to use the
CONTACTEMAIL information to send out notifications from my event handler.

Regards
Carlos

[Nagios-users] Sms message

[Daniel Tran]

I have a scenario like this:

Currently we are monitoring devices and send notification as an email
message.

I understand that you can send text messages to cell phone by sending an
email such as (phone number)@vtext.com.

If the main internet connection is down, we want to be able to send the
message via a modem connection.  I guess at this point, the modem needs
to dial up to some sort of sms gateway and send out the string of text.

Are  there anything like this?
Does any cell phone provider (eg: tmobile, verizon...) has this support.

Thanks
Daniel

First section of

will suppress notification for services on DOWN or UNREACHABLE hosts.

I don't use host checks myself but I believe that this is not
configurable. You'd have to add your service contacts to the

[Nagios-users] Multiple notifications for Host DOWN

[Richard Hobbs]

Hello,

If I am monitoring several services on a host, and the host goes DOWN, will
I get a single notification stating that the host is down, or will I get
several alerts (one for the host and one for each service)?

If this is a configurable setting, could you let me know which option I need
to change in the config files?

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help! :-)

Richard.

We do not care what your client machine is. But we do care about your
definitions in nagios config files. You have not shown a bit of that
config so there is still very little to go on.

RE: [Nagios-users] scriptalias error

[Marc Powell]

The document is written for the source install, the primary method of
installation. RPM installs can vary widely and any package specific
changes made should be documented by the package maintainer. Ethan does
not directly manage, maintain or host RPM installations of Nagios.

This is incorrect information. The level of granularity requested is not
possible with apache security or within Nagios itself. It's all or
nothing unfortunately unless you edit the source to include that
functionality.

RE: [Nagios-users] Nagios 2.0 and cgi

[Marc Powell]

cgi's being missing is different than an Apache Internal Server Error.
Nagios was not able to automagically locate the required libraries you
correctly noted below at compile time. They're probably located in
non-standard locations. You'll need to pass the following flags to
./configure --

--with-gd-lib=DIR sets location of the gd library
--with-gd-inc=DIR sets location of the gd include files

Thanks for the reply, but how am I supposed to know this?  The setup
docs here say to add those lines to my httpd.conf:

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/installweb.html

Is this outdated documentation that I'm following?

process), and sometimes have a "defunct" nagios process.  

It is really anoying, as it can leads to Nagios not working any more, or, at 
best, only doing half of the checks it should perform,... 
Often, it also stops recording the results of the checks, or "forget" latest 
informations after a restart, rolling back to the status data of hours ago.


I don't remember doing any big change lately, so I can't find why I am facing 
all those problems right now... 

Does any of you know what can cause those defunct processes, or the multiple 
nagios "root" processes?  Or best do you know how I could avoid it :)




we are ocassionaly experiencing the some of your problems, too. I have 
thought, that this was a special issue in our Environment.


I am about to update to 2.0 stable because of the changelog entry
Fix for segfault in timed event queue

I don't know what this fix does, but I think, it sounds related.

Anyone experiencing similar behavior?

There is a patch at
http://altinity.blogs.com/dotorg/patches/issue_commands_1.patch that
allows users to view items, but not issue any changes. It seems to
work rather well. Hopefully it or something like it will make it in
the next 2.x update. It looks much nicer than the .htaccess denial
from a user perspective. See the 26 Feb article here

[Nagios-users] Providing configuration Reports

[nuffers]

I'm looking for a way to send reports
on what is currently being monitored to different functional areas.  I
currently have subdirectories for each of the functional areas.  Each
has their  own hosts.cfg, hostgroups.cfg, services.cfg etc.  Not
all individuals receiving the reports will have access to Nagios.

I would like to pull it directly from
Nagios but I don't currently see a way that will provide that.

The report would be in column format.

Type        host_name
       alias        
       address
host        myhostname
     myhostname        xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

Does anyone have a script/programs that
would assist with this from the command line?

Tom,

are you kidding? ;-)

Search the mailing list archive for "escalation" or "service escalation",
you will find a lot about it. And maybe you read even where to look in the
manual ;-)

For Release 2.0, look at http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/toc.html.
You will find "Notification escalations" under the heading "Advanced
Topics". And when you want the documentation of Version 1.x, just change
/2_0/ to /1_0/ in the URL.

Took me 3 minutes to find out.

HTH,

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios escalations not working

Hugo van der Kooij escreveu:

  Hold on. This one is configured to send notifications every 90 minutes
(assuming 60 seconds is the default time measurement) But it should only
trigger after 6 * 90 = 540 minutes (9 hours). But it should stop at 0
notifications which, I think, is not valid.
  


Hugo, actually setting last_notification to 0 is valid, and it means
nagios will use this escalation ad infinitum (in case there
are no other escalation "overwriting" these settings - in which case
nagios send notifications in the smallest time frame defined), as we
can see on manual
(http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/xodtemplate.html#serviceescalation):

last_notification:
This directive is a number that identifies the last
notification for which this escalation is effective. For instance, if
you set this value to 5, this escalation will not be used if more than
five notifications are sent out for the service. Setting this value to
0 means to keep using this escalation entry forever (no matter how many
notifications go out).

recently configured escalations in some of the services but it is not

When Nagios sends a notification for a service any issue, it send the
alert to
the main contact group (sysadmins) and the defined escalated group at
the same time,
even though they are not be notified until 60 and 90 minutes
respectively.  Below
is a sample of my escalations.cfg file. Thanks in advance.
  


Pavel, I haven't understood your problem: does nagios send
notifications for both groups since the first notification?

And as Hugo has said, you are misinterpretting the docs for
escalations: they are not defined to be sent notifications to
system-group after 60 and 90 minutes, they mean they are going to be
sent every 60 minutes from notifications number 3 to 5, and every 90
minutes from the sixth notification on.

I'm not sure what you're definition of binary is, but what you just
described isn't it. That's building from source to install. In some
shops where rpm based distros are mandated, this is a no-no. Your
method doesn't allow for any system-wide software auditing system to
know what is installed. Also, your command above will fail because it
looks for the 'make' command in the current directory where it won't
be. For rpm based systems, it's best to work with the tools of the
system and use rpms. In doing that you have to know how to salt the
general provided directions to taste. There are guides for working
with nagios rpms out there. Basically, understand the theory behind
the directions, and the platform becomes irrelevant.


> and you can see installation way when you unzip tar file.

Nope, you can see the source files. The only binaries in the nagios
tarball are the images.

You can secure it within apache. I just use the following in my

    Require user nagios

We do not care what your client machine is. But we do care about your
definitions in nagios config files. You have not shown a bit of that
config so there is still very little to go on.

Nagios is first-and-foremost a service monitor. With few exceptions*,
host checks are never executed unless a service on that host returns a
non-OK state. You need to have at least one service defined per host if
you want it to be checked regularly. That service could be just another
ping check. As to why some show OK and others show PENDING, I would
speculate that they are listed as the parent for a device that has
failed in the past. Nagios will check the host status of parents to
determine if a child is down or unreachable due to higher level outages.

* Starting with Nagios 2.0 you _can_ have regularly scheduled host
checks but they affect performance and are discouraged. The parent
checks are another case where a host check may be executed without a
failure of a service on the device.

RE: [Nagios-users] Nagios escalations not working

[Pavel Santos]

Hugo, 
 
I'm running Nagios 2.0 on Red Hat version 4 and the client machine is windows 
2003 for now, but I could be another Linux or windows 2000 box.

Hold on. This one is configured to send notifications every 90 minutes
(assuming 60 seconds is the default time measurement) But it should only
trigger after 6 * 90 = 540 minutes (9 hours). But it should stop at 0
notifications which, I think, is not valid.

If you remove the escalation do you get alerts to the escalation group(s)
as well?

Please provide relevant details like host + service definitions, nagios
version .

Re: [Nagios-users] Problems with RPM install

I'm not sure what you're definition of binary is, but what you just
described isn't it. That's building from source to install. In some
shops where rpm based distros are mandated, this is a no-no. Your
method doesn't allow for any system-wide software auditing system to
know what is installed. Also, your command above will fail because it
looks for the 'make' command in the current directory where it won't
be. For rpm based systems, it's best to work with the tools of the
system and use rpms. In doing that you have to know how to salt the
general provided directions to taste. There are guides for working
with nagios rpms out there. Basically, understand the theory behind
the directions, and the platform becomes irrelevant.


> and you can see installation way when you unzip tar file.

Nope, you can see the source files. The only binaries in the nagios
tarball are the images.

[Nagios-users] defunct process / more than one nagios "root" process...

[Johan Corsini]

Hello everyone.

I am facing problems for a few days with my Nagios server (2.0b4).
I often have more than one nagios "root" process (launched by the root 
process), and sometimes have a "defunct" nagios process.  

It is really anoying, as it can leads to Nagios not working any more, or, at 
best, only doing half of the checks it should perform,... 
Often, it also stops recording the results of the checks, or "forget" latest 
informations after a restart, rolling back to the status data of hours ago.

I don't remember doing any big change lately, so I can't find why I am facing 
all those problems right now... 

Does any of you know what can cause those defunct processes, or the multiple 
nagios "root" processes?  Or best do you know how I could avoid it :)

Thanks a lot for your help,

Johan.

[Nagios-users] nrpe arguments

[Toto Capuccino]

Hi,I want to launch event hancler on a remote windows host. The active nagios checks are checking exchange IS, MTA and SA and i want services to be restarted if they stop.Event handlers are enabled.I see in eventlog [09-03-2006 10:43:28] SERVICE EVENT HANDLER: ussfrsv02;Exchange 
IS;CRITICAL;SOFT;3;restart_exchangeI put a service eventhandler in nagios 
services.cfg fileevent_handler   restart_exchangeand put a definition in miscommands.cfg fileEvent-Handlers#define command {    command_name restart_exchange


    command_line    $USER1$/check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -c restart_exchange $SERVICESTATE$ $STATETYPE$ $SERVICEATTEMPT$    }I am wondering if the concept is ok. On the windows side the nrpe.cfg file got a definition for restart_exchange:
# Values: 0=do not allow arguments, 1=allow command argumentsdont_blame_nrpe=1command[restart_exchange]=C:\nrpe\bin\RestartExchangeServices.cmd $ARG1$ $ARG2$ $ARG3$
And my RestartExchangeServices.cmd file contains this and at least it works in command line@ECHO offIF %1 == 'HARD' GOTO :1 ELSE GOTO :999:1IF %2 == 'SOFT' GOTO :2 ELSE GOTO :999:2
IF %3 == '3' GOTO :3:3  net start MSExchangeISnet start MSExchangeMTAnet start MSExchangeSAECHO "Services Exchange IS, MTA ans SA have been started"REM EXIT exitCode 0GOTO :999
I commented the Exitcode because it dont see the need for eventhandler.Anyway it is not working at all :( I would greatly appreciate some thoughts, comments, help or solutions. -- Le bon sens est la chose du monde la mieux partagée.
