Ah I overlooked it was being copied to a remote server.  As for running as the 
user nagios, how did you achieve that - with su or logging in directly?  I 
found that su doesn't work as expected.

Anyhow, as you say the outgoing dir is world-writeable on the remote server, 
then it should work AFAIK - though why don't you move the notify-by-sms script 
to the remote server and have a sommand on the nagios server such as:


define command {
command_namenotify-host-by-sms
command_line/usr/bin/ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] 
"/some/path/notify-by-sms $CONTACTPAGER$ \"$TIME$ $HOSTALIAS$ $HOSTSTATE$ 
$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ $HOSTOUTPUT$\""
}

In my mind it's cleaner than the scp method, though whether or not it'll work 
or not I'm not sure!

Peter

Thanks for the reply Peter, however that isn't what the problem is in my
case. The /var/spool/sms/outgoing directory on that server is in fact
world-writable. And as I said I can run it from the command line
successfully while logged in as the nagios user, which I wouldn't be able to
do if the permissions were not right.

Keep in mind that SMS Tools is running on a different server, and I'm using
SCP to copy the file to that server.

Any other ideas?

Thanks anyway.

Having just solved this problem this week:

chmod g+w /var/spool/sms/outgoing

This should enable nagios to write to the directory using your script.

[Nagios-users] SMS notification commands

2007-11-29 Thread Nick Pratley
Hi, I need to be able to send notifications via SMS in the event that the
email servers are unavailable, or the internet connection is down. There is
a server on the same network as the Nagios host that has a modem installed
and uses SMS Tools 3 to send messages. To send a message all I need to do is
place a file in a certain directory on that server, in a simple format, and
it does the rest.

 

So, I created a script called 'notify-by-sms' in /usr/local/nagios/libexec
which is as follows:

 

TMPFILE=`/bin/mktemp notify.XX`

/bin/echo -e $1 > $TMPFILE

/usr/bin/scp $TMPFILE sms-server:/var/spool/sms/outgoing/

rm $TMPFILE

 

The script is owned by the user nagios and is executable. To run it I just
need to pass it a string like "To: \n\n" as the
only parameter. If I run it from the command line while logged in as nagios
it works fine.

 

I have the following in commands.cfg which I adapted from
notify-service-by-email and notify-host-by-email:

 

# 'notify-host-by-sms' command definition

define command{

command_name notify-host-by-sms

command_line /usr/local/nagios/libexec/notify-by-sms "To:
$CONTACTPAGER$\n\n* Nagios *\n\nNotification Type:
$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\nHost: $HOSTNAME$\nState: HOSTSTATE$\nAddress:
$HOSTADDRESS$\nInfo: $HOSTOUTPUT$\n\nDate/Time: $LONGDATETIME$\n"

}

 

# 'notify-service-by-sms' command definition

define command{

command_name notify-service-by-sms

command_line /usr/local/nagios/libexec/notify-by-sms "To:
$CONTACTPAGER$\n\n* Nagios *\n\nNotification Type:
$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\n\nService: $SERVICEDESC$\nHost: HOSTALIAS$\nAddress:
$HOSTADDRESS$\nState: $SERVICESTATE$\n\nDate/Time:
$LONGDATETIME$\n\nAdditional Info:\n\n$SERVICEOUTPUT$"

 

}

 

I see the following in /usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.log, as an example (I
have replaced some things with <...>):

 

[1196327641] SERVICE NOTIFICATION:
;;SyncServer;CRITICAL;notify-service-by-sms;CRITICA
L - Error Fetching http:///sync/ds [503] Service Temporarily
Unavailable

 

however the sms is not received. It does not even appear in the log on the
SMS server which indicates the script isn't running or isn't able to scp the
file to that server. I am using public key authentication to negate the need
for a SSH password to be entered.

 

Any ideas what the problem could be, when it runs manually from the command
line but not through the nagios daemon?

 

Thank you,

Nick

I'm not aware of any way to retrospectively schedule downtime but you 
could probably solve your problem by adjusting your checking procedure.  
Assuming you or a colleague has access to change the html on your 
websites, you could have a standard string of text that you add to all 
your websites so that Nagios is checking the same text on each site.  
Whenever a new site is added, just make sure that your standard text 
string is added and you will avoid this problem in the first place.

[Nagios-users] String errors

2007-11-29 Thread Jerad Riggin
Ok, so I'm monitoring about 100 websites with string checks via check_http.
We are mirroring what our datacenter actually checks, so we have
notifications turned off so when a site goes down we aren't being spammed by
the datacenter and our nagios installation.

The issue is that every once in awhile a string changes on the site so it
goes critical in our nagios.  We perhaps won't notice it for a day which
messes up our availability reports.  Is there a way to retroactively mark
the time that it was critical as scheduled downtime?

[Nagios-users] NRPE_NT Error: NRPE_NT failed to create process, exiting...

2007-11-29 Thread Stover, Beth
Hi there,

I'm trying to use NRPE to monitor remote Windows XP machines for the
first time.

Nagios version 2.8.  I have installed check_nrpe on the Nagios server.

Windows XP SP2 is the remote host.   I installed NRPE_NT Version:
0.7f/2.0 on the XP machine.

I edited the nrpe.cfg with the basic info including the following
command definition:

command[check_cmd]=c:\nrpe\test.cmd

Test.cmd is on the XP machine in the following location:
c:\nrpe\test.cmd.  Here are the contents:

@echo off
echo hallo from cmd
exit 1

I do a basic test from the Nagios server like this and it works:

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H 192.168.1.10
NRPE_NT v0.7f/2.0

Next, I try executing the remote cmd file, and this is where I get the
error:

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H 192.168.1.10 -c check_cmd
NRPE_NT failed to create process, exiting...

There's nothing in the Windows event log.  Nothing interesting in the
nagios.log.

Am I missing something totally simple?

Thanks so much...

[Nagios-users] Check_SMTP plugin Problem

2007-11-29 Thread Kaplan, Andrew H.
Hi there -

 

I want to monitor the status of our Sendmail server, and I plan on using the
check_smtp plugin. When I manually run the plugin using the following syntax:

 

./check_smtp -H 

 

The output I get is the following:

 

Connection refused

SMTP CRITICAL - 0.000 sec. response time|time=0.000473s;;;0.00

 

The server is outside the company's firewall, but it is able to be monitored via
port 5666. What steps can I take to enable the use of this plugin? The Nagios

server are both version 2.6. Thanks.

In a similar situation, I found it helpful to break my command line
tests into steps. First ssh directly into the remote as nagios and
execute the disk check, as you seem to have done. Then

 sudo  -u nagios ssh  -i /var/spool/nagios/.ssh/id_dsa  [EMAIL PROTECTED]
"/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_disk -w 10%  -c 5% -e -m -p /"

to make sure the key is working and the args and path are correct. Then

sudo  -u nagios  /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_by_ssh -H linoleum -i
/var/spool/nagios/.ssh/id_dsa -C "/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_disk
-w 10%  -c 5% -e -m -p /"

If that works, the regular nagios process should work. I once had a
sticky problem where I could get the above working, but nagios kept
telling me unknown. It turned out I had a subtle little typo in my
config that made it different from my command line tests. Headache!

Re: [Nagios-users] How to get reboot messages

2007-11-29 Thread chris serafin
So SNMP won't work with Windows? Damn, clients hate extra software. :(
Would you be willing to post your commands/services configs?
I bet if I see your configs I may be able to replicate it to SNMP/windows.

Thanks

Here, we do this by checking the uptime of the host/device.For
switches etc, this is in the SNMP counter.  For windows hosts, it is via
check_nt and the UPTIME object.  For unix, you just create an
appropriate script to run via nrpe.

We then do a critical if uptime < 10min.  Since hosts are checked every
5min at most then even if the hosts reboots quickly, this will alert.  A
scheduled outage is OK because the scheduled downtime extends 10min
after the reboot.

Thanks for all the replies, these would be Windows servers,

I prefer to do this with SNMP, as that's how I have done it on
Solarwinds.  I will be trying the SNMP_uptime command and report my results.

[Nagios-users] Help with failover

2007-11-29 Thread Michael T
I have 2 master servers that attach to a shared NAS which holds the nagios
configs and status data basically /etc and /var. When the primary goes down
there's an event handler that mounts the NAS on the backup and starts
nagios. When I implemented this setup I thought it would be beneficial in
the sense that I would have all the status data retained from the primary
instance. This is not the case when I initiate a failover the backup system
which mounts all the same data that the primary had prior to being brought
down doesn't see any saved status data all checks are in a pending state
until the distributed servers send new check data via nsca. The other
confusing thing is that if I fail it back over to the primary it see's the
old saved status data.

I'm not sure what I'm missing here can anyone enlighten me?

Thanks in advance
Michael

Duh! That's so simple I wasn't even thinking about it. I was thinking of
how to have it checked in Nagios, so see it in the web interface that it
was rebooted. :)

Re: [Nagios-users] How to get reboot messages

2007-11-29 Thread Yost, Josh
if you're trying to check windows boxes, I wouldn't use this snmp value because 
I don't think it's set reliably.  I've been using "check_nt -v UPTIME" for 
those (but i still think it resets correctly at reboot).
 
Also, it may not say "0 days" (so you could look to see if "days" doesn't show 
up); it may just give a time such as the following:
 
 libexec # snmpget -v1 -c   hrSystemUptime.0
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrSystemUptime.0 = Timeticks: (8082663) 22:27:06.63
 
you'll have to play around w/ it, I guess (sorry for the top-posting).

Re: [Nagios-users] How to get reboot messages

2007-11-29 Thread Kevin Scott Sumner
We have our site-specific init script do this on Linux and Solaris.  We 
also dump the users from last into the mail just in case a user rebooted a 
lab machine.

The general algorithm is:
-build the input to /usr/lib/sendmail in some file
-mail it with `cat $file | /usr/lib/sendmail -oi $emailAddress`
-if shutting down, wait 10 seconds (this was for older Solaris, may not be 
needed)

Make it run last on boots and first on shutdowns and you should be good.

Cheers,
Kevin

Are you talking Linux? If not, ignore the rest of this message. :)

If so, what about some type of script to write a flag file when the host
reboots. Then a script which checks to see if that flag file exists. If
it exists, exit with an OK status and delete the flag file.

I set something similar to this up yesterday with an AS400 backup. My
boss was tired of getting a page off of a completed backup. He set
things up to write to an NFS share with a simple touch flag file.

I then check to see if that files exists. If the backup completed
successfully the night before it sees the file, says ok, deletes the
file and exits normally. If the file isn't there, then it exits with an
error to which we get notified.

#!/bin/bash

FILE=/var/flags/AS400_DAILY

if [ -f $FILE ]; then
echo "OK: AS400 backup completed normally."
rm -f $FILE
exit 0
else
echo "CRIT: AS400 backup error."
exit 2
fi

A simple script of some sort linked to /etc/init.d could write the flag
file after the system boots and disks are mounted. Once that's there,
then you can check if the file exists.

It's not elegant, but would work. If anyone has a better idea, please
chime in.

It does not. Nagios uses normal_check_interval (or check_interval for
nagios-3) for checks beyond max_check_attempts (HARD states).

[Nagios-users] hard_check_interval revisited

2007-11-29 Thread Jeremy C. Reed
I want my final failed services to be rechecked faster that my normal 
checks. I want this so I will be notified quicker when the service is 
successful again. (I already use retry_check_interval with 
max_check_attempts, but I want an interval when the service is in HARD 
state.)

So I googled "hard_check_interval" and I saw that keyword was mentioned 
before. This mail from 2003 nagios-devel archive describes it:

http://ml.osdir.com/network.nagios.devel/2003-06/msg00064.html

Does anything like this exist but maybe with a different configuration

For a simple solution that requires no additional software, I just use  
the check_nagios plugin that comes with nagios, and run it from a  
script/cron job. This not only checks to see if nagios has crashed,  
but also checks the age of the status file. If a problem is detected  
with either (and I have had both situations) the script then first  
attempts to restart nagios via a full stop/start, then checks again  
and e-mails me with the result. So far, this has always just been a  
status notification saying that it had restarted nagios, as the stop/ 
start has worked as expected, but if for some reason that should fail  
it would notify me of this fact as well.

[Nagios-users] Announce: Check Dhcpd Leases - Shows leases / Alerts on unauthorized machines

2007-11-29 Thread Hari Sekhon
Hi,

   I've just released another plugin on www.NagiosExchange.org to 
display the leases that have been handed out by an ISC Dhcpd server.

It can also be used to alert you if any unauthorized machine is detected 
as having a dhcp lease by going Critical.
This works by giving the plugin any combination of Whitelists/Blacklists 
of Hostnames and/or Mac Addresses.
Combine for maximum tripping effect.

Outputting is also flexible so you can choose whether you want to 
include/exclude Hostnames and/or Macs displayed as well as just IPs when 
displaying the leases (default is Hostname = IP). There are also 
switches for sorting the order of display and whether you want compacted 
output, as well as whether to give the summary information on the number 
of active leases.

As usual, it should be flexible enough for all needs, and is open to 
suggestions/constructive criticisms or feature requests which should be 
sent to this address.

Find the plugin here:

http://www.nagiosexchange.org/Check_Plugins.21.0.html?&tx_netnagext_pi1[p_view]=1164


Hope you find it useful

Thanks

[Nagios-users] Need help using check_by_ssh with check_disk

2007-11-29 Thread Sean Bowers
I'm running Nagios 2.10 with plugins 1.4.10 running on:
Linux nagioshost 2.6.9-34.ELsmp #1 SMP Fri Feb 24 16:56:28 EST 2006
x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

System information on the two remote hosts is:

Linux remotehost1 2.6.9-11.ELsmp #1 SMP Fri May 20 18:26:27 EDT 2005
i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
Linux remotehost2 2.6.9-5.ELsmp #1 SMP Wed Jan 5 19:30:39 EST 2005
i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux


My check (in commands.cfg as check_disk_by_ssh) is:

$USER1$/libexec/check_by_ssh -E -i identify.txt -l nagios -H
$HOSTADDRESS$ -C "/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_disk -w $ARG1$ -c
$ARG2$"

The services.cmd has:

check_disk_by_ssh!10%!5%

This test runs fine on remotehost1, but on remotehost2 it returns back
"UNKNOWN - check_by_ssh: Remote command
'/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_disk -w 10% -c 5%' returned status
255".  At first, I thought this could be a 32 vs. 64-bit issue, but
the Nagios host is 64-bit while both remotes are 32.

>From the command line, both hosts work fine and 'echo $?' shows 0 for
both.  Logging into the remote boxes and running check_disk manually
is fine as well.  Using -v doesn't help since it doesn't show tracing
information.

Does anyone have any ideas or thoughts on this?  Are there any other
tricks I can try for debugging this?  Any help would be appreciated
immensely.

Thanks!

Jasper,

I have sort of the same issue and you have already stated the most 
expedient, and indeed only, solution that I found. Two services with 
different time periods for checking. It's doesn't look as pretty in the 
web interface but it works like a charm. The other method would be to 
write a wrapper that performs the check and alerts on the value you set 
based on time. This wouldn't be hard to do to be honest but it seems like 
re-inventing the wheel to some degree. The other question I have is if the 
servers are capable of withstanding a load that high why not just have 
your high threshold set the same all time? My situation isn't load based 
but with the standard Nagios plugin you can alert on any of the three 
points that uptime returns (here I make the assumption you are monitoring 
*nix boxen). If the situation calls for being able to be alerted to spikes 
during normal operating hours then you will either need two checks and 
time period for each or a wrapper that checks the time and returns an 
alert based on the time and load.

Best Regards,

Mark L. Potter

[Nagios-users] obsessing and event handlers

2007-11-29 Thread mark redding
Hi all,

Can anyone here tell me where I'm going wrong in my attempts to
correctly setup a slave nagios server.

What I have is as follows :-

1 master nagios host (running FreeBSD 6.2). This host executes active
checks some of which trigger event handlers (ie. to restart web
servers, etc... the usual stuff).
1 slave nagios host (running FreeBSD 5.5). This host rsyncs the nagios
configuration files from the master, and performs the check_nagios
plugin to determine if the master is running. If it is not, then it
takes over active checks.

The above has been setup using the documentation accompanying the
nagios installation and has v 2.10 installed.

Yesterday I tried to get the slave to receive service check results
from the master by running the nsca daemon on the slave and adding
commands to enable send_nsca on the master to transmit results to the
slave. To achieve this I forced the master to obsess over services and
this all worked correctly.

However, when I checked the system today I have found that although an
event handler should have been executed overnight, it did NOT get
executed.
The only way I've been able to get the master to actually run the
event handlers as needed has been to disable obsessing on the master -
hence I no longer have the slave passively receiving service check
results.
I've sort of worked round this by enabling a global event handler on
the master which calls the send_nsca command, so at the moment the
slave is passively gettings the changes of state to services (but, as
the http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/distributed.html page says,
"We could use event handlers to report changes in the state of a
service, but that just doesn't cut it.") and the master is happily
executing event handlers as needed.

Anyone else had this problem with event handlers when obsessing is
enabled ? And does anyone have this working correctly ?

thanks,
Mark

[Nagios-users] RES: SMS gateway

2007-11-29 Thread Dario B. Bestetti

We use Smstools (http://smstools.meinemullemaus.de/) which works very smoothly, 
but hardware is always a problems because of cable
and cel devices compatibility. Lately we´ve found a little device from Huawei, 
the E220 model which connects trhough USB and works
fine. I think the best hw solution would be the Falcon modems, but 
unfortunately they are hard and expensive to find here. Check
with the guys from Netways (www.netways.de), I believe they have a "ready" 
package using Falcon as SMS gateway fully integrated with
Nagios.

Re: [Nagios-users] SMS gateway

2007-11-29 Thread Phil Costelloe
I use Gnokii with a Nokia phone and it works really well but it relies
on a wired or wireless connection (serial, usb, infrared or Bluetooth
according to the website) between the server and the phone. I use some
simple shell scripts to interface between Nagios and Gnokii. It could be
part of what the OP wants if somebody writes (or has already written) an
http-to-gnokii gateway, but then that wouldn't really be a hardware
solution as requested. I've never run across anything that implements
the sending interface and modem hardware in one product but it may be
out there.

Hi, does anybody know of any HARDWARE solution into which I would just
stick
GSM SIM card and send SMS messages from Nagios?
Something with ethernet interface - like - I would just call HTTP URI
and
the device will send the SMS text to the number encoded in the HTTP

(both - the text and phone number).

Basically - very basic SMS gateway. With pre-paid sim card that would be
just magic!

Does something like that exist? Possibly with two-way communitaction?
What price should I be looking at?

nagios.cmd is a pipe, not an ordinary file and the contents cannot be  
overwritten as such - whatever gets written into the pipe will be  
read out of the pipe by the controlling binary in the same order.

If you cat the pipe then the contents will be lost to nagios, as when  
items are read from the pipe they are automatically removed from it.

Pipes have the first letter as a 'p' on 'ls -l'.

[Nagios-users] snmptraphandling.py

2007-11-29 Thread Giles Coochey
Is anyone using Francois Meehan's snmptraphandling.py script?

There's a part of the script where it opens the Nagios.cmd file. I'm not
a python coder, but it appears to me that it writes to the file with 'w'
which would overwrite any pending commands that Nagios has not yet
processed:

#print mondata_res
output = open('/opt/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd', 'w')
results = "[" + mytime + "] " + "PROCESS_SERVICE_CHECK_RESULT;"
\
  + host + ";" + "TRAP-" + service_suffix + ";" \
  + return_code + ";" + mondata_res + "\n"
output.write(results)

I'm thinking that this script should be opening the file with the 'a'
(Append) mode, so that unprocessed commands in nagios.cmd do not get
overwritten.

I do appear to be missing some traps within Nagios, I can see them as
far as snmptt, but it seems either sec.pl or snmptraphandling.py somehow
doesn't process them and the trap doesn't make it as far as Nagios.

[Nagios-users] Dealing with nightly high load

2007-11-29 Thread Jasper Filon
All,

I'm trying to deal with a bunch of servers that generate some high load
during the night. That is, between 00:00 and 06:00 a series of job is
run that will generate load from 10 to 15. Outside this windows, load
should be no more than 3.

I have read all the documentation, but I cant find a way to implement
this in Nagios. I have found 2 options:
- defining 2 services (load_daily and load_nightly) with different
tresholds. This will make 2 services show up in nagios that are
essential the same
- using escalations to supress messages during the night. This will
however still show errors in the webinterface and spoil you reports with
fake errors

How can I tell Nagios that during the day the load should be max 3
(warning) and max 5 (critical) but during the night, it's ok if they are
8 (warning) and 10 (critical)? I'm sure other people have ran into this
same problem and found a solution for it? Please share!

I'm running Nagios 2.10

Thanx for the help.

Met vriendelijke groet/With kind regards, 

Jasper Filon
