Re: [Nagios-users] Host searching

[hindrek murdsalu]

Hey,

I gather the 'freenasxxx' servers are somehow connected to each other
(they're in same farm or provide same services), if so you could just
define a hostgroup named 'freenas servers' or whichever name you desire
and add the servers as members to it so you'd be able to list them all
in 1 window. 
This, of course, isn't a solution to search rather than being an
alternative.

Is there a way to search for a host in Nagios? For example, I have a

Re: [Nagios-users] Switching to passive checks instead of active ones?

[Live Great]

Hello Ivan,

I believe the host check can only be done via a Nagios agent installed in the 
remote host or via check_by_ssh.
You said you want to replace check_by_ssh, why are you doing so?
Most customer don't want a specific monitoring agent installed in their server 
(a remote host in Nagios' slang).

Thanks
Sam.

Subject: [Nagios-users] Switching to passive checks instead of active ones?

Hello,


I'm wondering whether anyone has used send_nsca as a primary 
"transport" for service checks, and has any experience and 
recommendations?

We're looking at using send_nsca to submit passive service checks in 
place of check_by_ssh or NRPE for active checks and would like some 
feedback on the sanity for doing this.




The plan is to

1. Run a script from cron, which iterates through a list of 
checks (plugins to run, with parameters), and runs each check.  There 
would need to be a timeout mechanism, to reap checks which hang - does 
anyone have something they use for this with send_nsca (not all plugins 
have builtin timeouts)?

2. Each plugin is run via a wrapper script (nsca_wrapper) which runs 
the plugin and passes the results to send_nsca.  IF send_nsca returns an 
error, the wrapper script logs to the local syslog.  I'm starting with a 
wrapper script from here: 
http://www.nagiosexchange.org/Check_Plugins.21.0.html?&tx_netnagext_pi1%5Bp_view%5D=980

3. Nagios' freshness checking will alert us if Nagios stops hearing 
from any of these passive checks.


Some of the motivations for switching to this method for running checks 
are:

* System logs are not cluttered with frequent SSH logins by Nagios

* A new system service (NRPE) is not added to systems, some of which 
are particularly tightened and narrow in purpose

* Thresholds for checks (disk space percentages, mail queue volume) are 
moved to the client, not defined in Nagios checks - some
admins like the ability to adjust these locally


I'm looking for folks doing something like this, or reasons why this 
might be a particularly bad idea.  Perhaps Nagios triggering checks 
has so much sanity built in, that moving checks to the 
push-to-Nagios model is a bad idea?



Thanks all,

Ivan Fetch.

Did you check that /bin/mail actually exists? If it doesn't, you might
consider installing the package which provides it.

Just because you followed the nagios install guide word for word
doesn't mean you did it properly. If the system you're building nagios
on isn't sane, then you're going to have many other issues no matter
how closely you follow the nagios directions.

Since you're on RHEL, why are you building nagios from scratch? Why
not use the rpms which are built for RHEL and listed on the download
section of the nagios page?

The $contactemail$ variable is defined in your contact definition, and
is set by (of all magical options) the 'email' section.

No. The error you referenced earlier stated that nagios didn't have
permission to, or could not find /bin/mail or /usr/bin/printf  Did
you check the mail log for sendmail to see if it actually got the
message but failed to send, or are you simply looking at the
nagios.log?

Given the vast amounts of typos and misplacings of the /, I would very
much recommend that you go back over your configs and make sure you
haven't typed them as accurately as you've formed your emails.

Your definitly right about only sending from the root  (usr/bin/sendmail)
not a typo i tried that since /bin/mail didnt work for me so i thought i

I didnt know that sendmail and mail are two different i guess i was wrong ..
i mean i did installation word by word as written in manaul i have
everything working expet email ?

one small question is bin/mail a relay client ? and where is $contactemail$
defined anywhere except commands.cfg

i see in the nagios.log file as mention in my eearlier posts that i see its
trying to send it out but keeps getting line code error 127 unkown email

Re: [Nagios-users] check_by_ssh - please clarify.

[Live Great]

Hi,

Thank you for the explanation.
I read through the Distributed Monitoring Document in the following link:
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/distributed.html

In the last section "Performing Host Checks", 
It mentions ochp command can be used for processing host check. 
Can I use check_by_ssh in the ochp command?
The reason of using check_by_ssh is that my clients don't want to have an 
*Agent* installed in their server.
If I can use check_by_ssh with ochp, my goal is accomplished.

Thanks
Sam

If you haven't guessed, what you're trying to accomplish isn't clear.
The question, as you've put it, doesn't make sense. About the only case
I can think of that you might need to use NSCA and check_by_ssh together
were if you were checking a third host that was only accessible from a
second host, neither of which are directly accessible by your nagios
server (i.e. firewalled, or other).

send_nsca can be run on a remote host to send check results executed by
an external program (nagios on that remote host or your own script),
back to another nagios machine running NSCA. This is a passive check for
nagios. Nagios doesn't 'call' or 'run' nsca or send_nsca. The
Distributed Monitoring documentation, while specific to running a
distributed nagios instance, talks about how this is accomplished.

check_by_ssh is a plugin that is actively run by your nagios machine
that will ssh into a remote host, execute a nagios plugin installed
there and return the results to nagios as an active check. If you have
direct access to the monitored machine and don't mind setting up
key-based authentication for this purpose, this is probably the easiest
way to go. Another option might be NRPE.

Both accomplish the pretty much the same thing, just in very different
ways.

Wether it is sloppiness or a typo is not clear to me. But 
/usr/bin/sendmail is something entirely different from usr/bin/sendmail

The second option will only happen to work if you happen to be in the root 
directory. It will fail from any other directory.

Please be a 1000% more accurate. Because it will get back at you with in 
ways you do not seem to comprehend yet.

I still don't think you're doing it properly, With as long as you've
been on this list, and as many people have invested in helping you,
you should pretty well be a nagios expert by now.

You still keep top-posting too, instead of threading your messages properly.

You also still haven't supplied information I'd asked you for earlier
in this thread. Doing the same thing and expecting different results
is basically how Einstein defined insanity.

You should have done this long ago when you started looking at RHEL4.

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios Latency

[Vanhee Frederik]

Benjamin,

just out of curiosity : do you use ndomod ?
I experience similar problems; I had a healthy Nagios install (1200 
host, 7000 services, active+passive) with nagios 2.3
After upgrading to Nagios 2.9 with ndo-utils, I have 'latency-peaks' 
every day/few days.
I'm in the middle of testing if it's related to the new Nagios version 
or the extra system load from ndo-utils, or a bug in ndo-utils.

I'll keep the list informed.

It is a security context that is enabled by default on RHEL4+. It
prevents programs from doing things the system thinks it shouldn't be
allowed to do. See the link.

Re: [Nagios-users] NC_Net.EventLog.Receiving error codes.Could I receive more info from the EventLog?

[Anthony Montibello]

Hi,

 WMI should solve this problem for you.

Just some notes on related to this issue,

First off, make sure your using the current version of NC_NEt 4.1a and you
would have access to a more optimized event log check called "eventlog_new"
The original eventlog searched the logs from the wrong end, and thus takes a
long time on large logs, this new version asside from using different syntex
checks from the most resent event first.

The Output is the same, thus it does not give what your are looking for.
(but it may be more optimized than the WMI You would need to test this.)  if
it is a quicker test, I recomend using it and setting up event handlers or
manually running check_nt using WMI to get the file name.  note this assumes
that you normally do not get an alert , so you would want the checking to
induce the least load.

If you know the names of the files you can setup seperate checks using the
REGEXP of the EVENTLOG_NEw and this would serve as a workaround.

If your looking for the files being modified. FILEAGE may be a good
workaround.

you should be able to setup an event handler that takes the EVENTID reported
by EVENTLOG check and runs a WMICAT, querry the WMI (Windows Managment
interface) for the Event Log Message.
CLASS - CIMV2  Win32_NTLogEvent -has the events  and the messeges in it.
writing a querry to it may be tricky but if you need the File mane from the
Message field this is the way to get it without writing new scripts, or
paying for upgrades.

or just run WMI checks directly and use wrapper scripts to interpret the
results.
please not on this, if a querry has no match there may be a NO OUTPUT error.


Good Luck.

Re: [Nagios-users] No email alerts ??

[Nedim Bicic]

OK check this out..funny thing is regarding the path /bin/mail doesnt exist
anywhere from the root i tryed tracing back so
i tryed executing this from the command line and i am able to recieve the
email which now at least i know MTA is defintly working:   "I didnt put any
argumetns as u can see this is just to test"

usr/bin/sendmail -s  [EMAIL PROTECTED] works from command line but not from
commands.cfg??

Now i editted the commands.cfg file copy and pasted the same exact above
line, but doesnt send anything when i take down the host, I also had to
tweak the linux firewall to allolw 25 in and out of that port.

I did add nagios user and group that was when i configured apache and to
accept external commands

I cant answer that last question i dont even know wat kselinux is not to
mention enabled , in one sentence wat is it and how does this affect emails
for nagios on my issue

Actually, I'm using the latest version that I got off the site ( -
NC_Net_setup.msi NC_Net 2.28 07/16/05).  This worked on several
servers, but not on my Exchange server.  I finally uninstalled it for
now until I figure out more of why it hangs when I try to shut it
down.

If I can do anything else to troubleshoot this (i.e. debug, logs,
etc), please let me know, and I'll be happy to do so and share the
results.

Thanks for the reply, Tony.  I very much appreciate it!

Re: [Nagios-users] Errors from check_nagios -v

[John Tabasz (jtabasz)]

I was hoping that would be the case as well. If we're talking about the
error I made by omitting the template string in "use-generic-template"
line in the services.cfg file. I fixed that and rechecked the config
files using nagios -s nagios.cfg  and restarted the nagios process.
Still get the "no services associated with $hostname" messages. Still no
automatic running of the ping_check command.

Do I need to specify a check_command argument in the host declaration in
hosts.cfg? 
Is my services.cfg file looking the way it is supposed to? Do I need to
include the hosts in a service group? 
Thanks, 

John

I think if you correct the service template name problem mentioned by
others that I missed you should be OK.

That is the point. I do not use templating yet, but I have mixed several 
hosts with different contact_groups in the same service definitions with 
only one contact_group.
That is simply stupid - the more since I am hunting down the problem for a 
long time now 

Thanks for your help and for directing me to the solution.

[Nagios-users] check_nt services not responding

[Joel Roberts]

I've installed Nagios on a Debian Etch server and it seems to be working
well, just a couple of things. Monitoring a Windows box, I've installed
the NSClient++, for some reason there's no icon in the SysTray, but the
service is up and running. Most of the Services respond, except the
following:

 

Drive space, CPU Load, Explorer and W3SVC

 

I've verified the configuration file, but the Status Info in Nagios
returns the following:

 

Usage:check_nt -H host -v variable [-p port] [-w warning] [-c
critical][-l params] [-d SHOWALL] [-t timeout] 

 

Here are the entries in the windows.cfg file, Memory Usage works, Drive
Space does not:

 

define service{

use generic-service

host_name   lwsyslog1

service_description Memory Usage

check_command   check_nt!MEMUSE!-w 80 -c 90

}

define service{

use generic-service

host_name   lwsyslog1

service_description C:\ Drive Space

check_command   check_nt!USEDDISKSPACE!-1 c -w 80 -c 90

}

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Joel

[Nagios-users] NC_Net.EventLog.Receiving error codes.Could I receive more info from the EventLog?

[Florencio Cano]

Hello,
Thanks to Hugo and Roger help I've been able to check Windows 2003
EventLog from the Nagios server. My idea is to audit access to some
objects in the Windows 2003 machine as for example, a confidential
document. And I want to see an alert in Nagios when I receive this
information from the Windows EventLog Plugin (check_nt -v EVENTLOG).
But, now, I'm receiving only the error codes and I want to receive
more info detailed in the EventLog as for example the object name
(filename in my case). Is this possible?

And I wanted to say that I'm using NC_Net in a Spanish installation
Windows 2003 installation and it seems to run ok.

Are you doing any templating for your host or service objects? It sounds
like you are overriding your contact_group definition at some point, so
you're going to have to figure out where that is occurring.

It's hard to tell what you have defined without looking over your config
file(s), but for starters, what does the command "nagios -v
/path/to/nagios_config_file" show? Are there any contact errors?

I asked a simelar question about services which use SSH to run plugins 
on remote hosts, depending on a check for SSH.  Here is that thread so 
far:

http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=20071002123309.L30065%40tnetnzry.hgf.qh.rqh&forum_name=nagios-users

The one addition I have to this topic, is the possibility of using a 
script to automate the creation of individual service dependencies, given 
a set of hosts and services which you want to depend on your database 
process.  This is also something I'm looking into, I know others are using 
something like this.


Thanks,

Ivan.

I think if you correct the service template name problem mentioned by

[Nagios-users] service dependency question

[Paul Dugas]

I have a hostgroup defined for my application database servers.  I have
a service defined for the group that checks the database server process
itself.  I have additional services defined for the group that check the
space used and other validity tests in our various databases.  I'd like
to setup service dependencies so the individual database checks don't
happen when the main service isn't there.  Is there a way to avoid
having to enter all the service dependencies individually?  With a dozen
hosts and half a dozen databases on each one, it's getting ugly and
error prone.

[Nagios-users] Problem: Picking up wrong server hostname with check_http

[Robert Hulme]

I am trying to use the check_http plugin in Nagios 3 to see if 
relibase.ebi.ac.uk is OK.

When I call it from the command prompt I get this:
trueman% /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_http relibase
HTTP WARNING: HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found
trueman% /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_http relibase.ebi.ac.uk
HTTP WARNING: HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found
trueman% /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_http relibase.ebi.ac.uk.
HTTP WARNING: HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found

However if I access relibase in Firefox (or with wget) the index page is 
returned normally.

A little digging later has revealed that there are two relibases:

trueman% dig relibase

; <<>> DiG 9.3.4 <<>> relibase
;; global options:  printcmd
;; Got answer:

;; MSG SIZE  rcvd: 71

Is there a way to force check_http to use the correct one? It seems to 
be resolving the first one rather than the second one.

If I try to access "http://relibase/"; from my desktop I get "The web 
server you are trying to contact has closed down.  For further 
information, please contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]" which is not what I get 
if I access "http://relibase.ebi.ac.uk/";.

I'm going to try to get the systems deparment here to fix this so that 
both queries, but is there a work around? (other than using www4 or the 
IP directly).

Thanks
-Rob

If you haven't guessed, what you're trying to accomplish isn't clear.
The question, as you've put it, doesn't make sense. About the only case
I can think of that you might need to use NSCA and check_by_ssh together
were if you were checking a third host that was only accessible from a
second host, neither of which are directly accessible by your nagios
server (i.e. firewalled, or other).

send_nsca can be run on a remote host to send check results executed by
an external program (nagios on that remote host or your own script),
back to another nagios machine running NSCA. This is a passive check for
nagios. Nagios doesn't 'call' or 'run' nsca or send_nsca. The
Distributed Monitoring documentation, while specific to running a
distributed nagios instance, talks about how this is accomplished.

check_by_ssh is a plugin that is actively run by your nagios machine
that will ssh into a remote host, execute a nagios plugin installed
there and return the results to nagios as an active check. If you have
direct access to the monitored machine and don't mind setting up
key-based authentication for this purpose, this is probably the easiest
way to go. Another option might be NRPE.

Both accomplish the pretty much the same thing, just in very different
ways.

Re: [Nagios-users] What's wrong with this timeperiod definition?

[Tatyaso Babar]

That's correct.. the time period can not be 16:30-9:00 for a day...its
reverse. I think the range should be between 00:00-24:00 & in the same
order.

My Guess is that you cannot specify 16:30-09:00 (The 09:00 would be
Tuesday, not Monday etc...)

Your explanation is actually the correct syntax,

Check http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/xodtemplate.html#timeperiod

Specifically the example:

Example Definition:


define timeperiod{
timeperiod_name nonworkhours
alias   Non-Work Hours
sunday  00:00-24:00
monday  00:00-09:00,17:00-24:00

I believe he fell into the same trap I did, by only reading my reply
to you and the mail I replied to.

For future reference, replying to your own email to make sure issues
haven't just been overlooked would have made me see my error before
hitting that send-button the first time, which would have saved me
the embarrassment of assuming too much and you the annoyance of
getting an undeserved rude reply. Again, my apologies.

Wise words. Check back in if you need a hand later :)

Where did you leave all those dashes?

I said:
su - nagios -s /bin/sh

Loose the $ signs. They mark variables.so they are most definitly wrong 
around your email address.

PS: Uberquotes sucks ;-)

My Guess is that you cannot specify 16:30-09:00 (The 09:00 would be
Tuesday, not Monday etc...)

Your explanation is actually the correct syntax,

Check http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/xodtemplate.html#timeperiod

Specifically the example:

Example Definition:


define timeperiod{
timeperiod_name nonworkhours
alias   Non-Work Hours
sunday  00:00-24:00
monday  00:00-09:00,17:00-24:00
tuesday 00:00-09:00,17:00-24:00
wednesday   00:00-09:00,17:00-24:00
thursday00:00-09:00,17:00-24:00
friday  00:00-09:00,17:00-24:00
saturday00:00-24:00
}
