Re: [Nagios-users] Return code of 142 is out of bounds

[victory]

I am using the snmp commands. The following are a coupld of examples:

check_snmp_ntpstat -H $HOSTNAME$ -C COMMUNITY_NAME
check_snmp_disk -H $HOSTNAME$ -C COMMUNITY_NAME

I have seen the faqs mentioned by you and it says the same thing as
mentioned by you. But interestingly, error "Return code of 142" started to
show up from version 3.x. I did not find that in any previous versions.

Regards,

Re: [Nagios-users] Best Way to Catch Windows Reboots in Nagios with NSClient++

[Anthony Montibello]

The threshold testing of Uptime should be can be done by modifying check_nt
check_nc_net has this already included in it, and is compatible as a
replacement for check_nt.c
it is availible at: https://sourceforge.net/projects/nc-net/

TOny  (Author of NC_Net)

Change the Case Uptime to something like the following then recompile:

case CHECK_UPTIME:

asprintf(&send_buffer, "%s&3", req_password);

fetch_data (server_address, server_port, send_buffer);

uptime=strtoul(recv_buffer,NULL,10);

updays = uptime / 86400;

uphours = (uptime % 86400) / 3600;

upminutes = ((uptime % 86400) % 3600) / 60;

asprintf(&output_message,_("System Uptime - %u day(s) %u hour(s) %u
minute(s)"),updays,uphours, upminutes);

return_code=STATE_OK;

if( check_critical_value==TRUE && critical_value > updays )

return_code=STATE_CRITICAL;

else if ( check_warning_value==TRUE && warning_value > updays )

return_code=STATE_WARNING;

break;

I reload hourly to pick up new config changes but rarely restart.

I'm not sure you even have an issue outside of a possible  
configuration problem. No, 2.9 was not spotty or bad.

This is normal. See my previous e-mail.

This is normal. Hosts aren't checked unless a service on the host  
returns a non-OK result. If all services are up, the host must be up  
so there is no reason to check it. If a service returns a non-OK  
result, only then do you need to know if the host is down or not and a  
host check is run. As for the host being down and no notification  
being sent, you should verify that it has services defined for it,  
they return non-OK results when the host is down and that the host  
check returns a non-OK result when the host is down.

Of course, your admin is the best person to check these things.

Re: [Nagios-users] How often does Nagios need restarting? (Quiscustodiet ipsos custodes?)

[James Pratt]

Hi Tom, I've tried to answer your questions to the best of my own
personal knowledge -I have replaced any  of your original "*" symbols
with my own on all my comments/thoughts below, since my MS outlook
client apparently just sucks, so this appears more readable.

I am a Nagios user, not the administrator.  We are running Nagios 2.9 on
RHEL 4 or 5.  Overall, 200+ hosts with 3000 services being monitored. I
have access for monitoring a smaller number of hosts.

* ok, understood...

In another posting, I alluded to an issue where a host had gone down but
no alert was sent out.   The issue surfaced again today and as was done
the other time, Nagios was restarted to "fix" the problem.   I am
naturally concerned about the unreliability.  

* did you get any on-list or off-list replies at all? You have not
mentioned if you had it resolved or not, but it sound like the answer is
no to possibly both(?)

Any thoughts on this problem?Specifically:

What are best practices for making sure Nagios does not fall down on
the job?   Is there something not set right?

* Understanding your setup and the way nagios works is how you ensure it
stands up... a mis-config sounds likely, but who knows...

Are other Nagios administrators restarting Nagios on a weekly or
nightly basis to keep it on the job?

* Heck no! That's why we run it on Linux or Solaris! :)

Is this an issue specific to Nagios 2.9?  Was 2.9 a spotty version?

*Not to my knowledge - all stable releases have worked very reliably
here, especially 2.9 now that I look back...

For a given host, why would "active checks" be enabled, yet "N/A"
appears in the "Next Active Check" field?

* RTM - host checks are not always performed unless service checks fail,
and since I've been a manual-slacker myself, that may not even be the
true correct answer (Marc? :)

Thanks for any help.

-Tom Kustner-

* Not to sound negative/condescending or anything like that, but your
install will truly only work as well as you have maintained
it/understand it. You should really look at your current config files
and read the manual on 2.9, or upgrade to 3.x and again rtm...  Also,
you have not sent anything specific related to your problematic
config(s) for anyone on this list to even guess either way whether or
not something is mis-configured. If you are concerned about posting your
configs/setup, change stuff properly to hide what you need to on-list.
(I apologize if I have missed your earlier posting. Many here try our
best to help people here when possible, but sometimes we are all busy at
the same time, who knows!?).

Cheers,
Jamie

[Nagios-users] "Last check" info seems stale (Nagios 2.9)

[Kustner, Tom]

I am a Nagios user, not the administrator.  We are running Nagios 2.9 on RHEL 4 
or 5.  Overall, 200+ hosts with 3000 services being monitored, but I have 
access for monitoring a smaller number of hosts.

In looking last week into an issue where a host had gone down but no alert was 
sent, I noticed that on the "Host Status Details For All Host Groups" screen, 
where it lists Hosts, Status, Last Check, etc., the Last Check date for some of 
the hosts went back almost two months.   I pointed this out to the 
administrator who didn't disagree with my statement but said the logs showed 
otherwise.  Nagios was restarted but even now, there is a host where the Last 
Check date still shows as 05-19-2009.  There are other hosts showing a last 
check date of June 5, June 9, June 10, and so on.  These hosts are definitely 
up.

Either Nagios is being tardy at checking things, is *not* being tardy but is 
displaying inaccurate information, or I am misunderstanding this field or what 
Nagios means by "Last check".  Can anyone shed some light?

[Nagios-users] Problem in Preflight Check with commands.cfg

[Kaplan, Andrew H.]

Hi there --
 
I have completed the installation of Nagios 3.0.6 onto an Ubuntu 9.04 server
using the apt-get utility. 
We currently have a Nagios 2.6 server running, and I wanted to import the
configuration files into the
newer server. To that end, I have placed the appropriate configuration files in
the /etc/nagios3/conf.d
directory, and modified the nagios.cfg file to reflect the location of the
configuration files.
 
I ran the preflight check and the following error message appeared on-screen:
 
/usr/sbin/nagios3 -v /etc/nagios3/nagios.cfg 
Nagios 3.0.6

 Check your configuration file(s) to ensure that they contain valid

 the HTML documentation regarding the config files, as well as the
 'Whats New' section to find out what has changed.
 
I checked the commands.cfg, and several other files, and I do not see where the
duplicate definition is occurring. 
Can someone lend a hand on this? Thanks.

Yea, binary logs can be a pain to, I am working on a global event handler for 
purging.

I had a similar problem with my ndoutils and mysql. If you are using 
MySQL and aren't using replication, don't forget to first clear and then 
turn off binary logs - those files get huge very quickly.

This isn't a NagVis issues, this is a ndoutils issue. You need to look in your 
ndo2db.cfg file for the entries:

max_timedevents_age
max_systemcommands_age
max_servicechecks_age
max_hostchecks_age
max_eventhandlers_age

It is recommended that you set these to a very low value. If they are too high 
you will have other issues with nagios appearing to hang while the DB is 
cleaned.

[Nagios-users] trimming nagvis database via cron

[Michael W. Lucas]

Hi,

After a few months of use, our NagVis database grew to 23GB and
overwhelmed my (tiny) server.  Shutting down the system, dropping the
database, and recreating it solved my issues.

Surely someone has already written a script to purge the NagVis
database on a regular basis, trimming old data to keep the database at
a reasonable size.  If so, could you share it?

I'm sure I can figure this out, but I can't believe that nobody else
has had this issue.

Thanks,
==ml

Re: [Nagios-users] notification

[Param Srinivas]

Yes , there is a lot of checks going on.  There are like 750 hosts with a
minimum of about 6 to 7 services checks.
Could this be because  SERVICE INTER-CHECK DELAY METHOD  & HOST INTER-CHECK
DELAY METHOD are set to smart calculation  ?

Re: [Nagios-users] notification

[Mat W]

you could try changing the host_inter_check_delay_method=n variable in 
nagios.cfg and see how it affects the checks.  i'd keep an eye on performance 
and local system resources too.  last thing you want is nagios crashing too.

Re: [Nagios-users] Best Way to Catch Windows Reboots in Nagios with NSClient++

[Mat W]

Are you opposed to adding NagEventLog with an NCSA service for the passive 
checks?  You can write an event check filter in NagEventLog to look for the 
specific events in the Event logs.

 

I don't believe the bult-in UPTIME check supports thresholds but you could 
"wrap" it in some code to do it.

Re: [Nagios-users] NDO Utilities install NDO database error for NDO Util 1.3.1

hmmm ok maybe I am a little confused because the first part of the "how to" 
creates a database using these same commands you listed...Is the NDO database 
name nagios? I also did the GRANT ALL on nagios.*

see snipet below:
mysql> show databases;

| information_schema |
| cactidb |

That's just what I told you with these commands.

For what I've seen from your dirlisting, you have afile called "mysql.sql"

So after these steps you should have your datebase created and waiting for 
input.

Kind regards,

1.3.1 is almost 2.5 years out-of-date. You're following instructions
for 1.4b7; is there a reason you're not installing that more recent
version?

Re: [Nagios-users] NDO Utilities install NDO database error for NDO Util 1.3.1

[Michael Friedrich]

# mysql -u root -p

>> open database shell

CREATE USER 'nagios'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'nagios';


creates the user nagios with localhost (where it will coem from) and is 
identified by password 'nagios'



GRANT USAGE ON * . * TO 'nagios'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 
'nagios' WITH MAX_QUERIES_PER_HOUR 0 MAX_CONNECTIONS_PER_HOUR 0 
MAX_UPDATES_PER_HOUR 0 MAX_USER_CONNECTIONS 0 ;



there was a typo by myself, identified by has to be the passwword with '<' and 
'>'

this grants usage on the database

CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS `nagios` ;


creates the database called nagios needed for ndo (you have to set those params 
in ndo2db.cfg)


GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON `nagios` . * TO 'nagios'@'localhost';


grants insert, create, delete, select, update, etc sql privileges for user 
nagios (forgot to replace that too), onto the database nagios



quit

>> leave mysql shell


# mysql -u root -p nagios < mysql.sql

>> -u root -p <-- login with user root
>> nagios <-- import to which database
>> < mysql.sql <-- file where the database definitions, table 
definitions are within create statements, those will be imported into 
the database



And cocnernign your db layout - yep, it's the nagios db.

Kind regards,
Michael

hmmm ok maybe I am a little confused because the first part of the 
"how to" creates a database using these same commands you listed...Is 
the NDO database name nagios? I also did the GRANT ALL on nagios.*
 
see snipet below:

mysql> show databases;
++
| Database   |
++
| information_schema |
| cactidb|
| mysql  |
| nagios |
| test   |

5 rows in set (0.00 sec)

That's just what I told you with these commands.

For what I've seen from your dirlisting, you have afile called
"mysql.sql"

So after these steps you should have your datebase created and
waiting for input.

Kind regards,
Michael

1.3.1 is almost 2.5 years out-of-date. You're following
instructions
for 1.4b7; is there a reason you're not installing that more
recent
version?

If this is a host notification, it makes perfect sense. Any $SERVICE*  
macro used in the notification isn't valid because there's no specific  
service for the notification. I suspect that your  
host_notification_commands and service_notification_commands are the  
same when they should be different. The host notification command  
should use $HOST*$ macros.

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

A typical host notification command might look like --

define command {
 command_name   host-notify-by-email
 command_line   /bin/echo -e "Subject:  
$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ alert - Host $HOSTNAME$ is $HOSTSTATE$\n\n*  
Nagios *\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\nHost: $HOSTNAME$ 
\nState: $HOSTSTATE$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nInfo: $HOSTOUTPUT$\n 
\nDate/Time: $LONGDATETIME$\n\nAcknowledged By: $HOSTACKAUTHOR$ 
\nAcknowledgement: $HOSTACKCOMMENT$" | /bin/mail $CONTACTEMAIL$
 }
