Re: [Nagios-users] Redundant Nagios setups...
As you already have *BSD installed as base server for nagios, and you need an mechanism when one machine is down, second to take its rolle and all happy. I would recommned to take a look into CARP http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/carp.html it is natively devoeloped for OpenBSD but you have it already ported to FreeBSD. I am using CARP + OpenBSD to set up redundant pair of firewals and it works perfect. In case you want one machine to shutdown, it has some problem or what ever else, second machine take a rolle of master and it works. Machines should be close to each other ( as they use crossover cable to be connected for sync interfaces ), and in case you need to set up some geographical wide redundancy , CARP will not help you. In case your nagios servers are in same server room, I think CARP can be useful Nice regards, Arlen On Thu, Aug 27, 2009 at 3:08 AM, Mark Gius wrote: > We use two identically configured servers with a shared DRBD > (http://www.drbd.org/) partition that contains the nagios state/log/config > files, Linux Heartbeat (http://www.linux-ha.org/), and a role IP address to > do redundancy.

Re: [Nagios-users] Redundant Nagios setups...
We use two identically configured servers with a shared DRBD (http://www.drbd.org/) partition that contains the nagios state/log/config files, Linux Heartbeat (http://www.linux-ha.org/), and a role IP address to do redundancy. We can literally yank the plug on one of the servers and nagios will be back up in about 10 seconds.

It's easy to do this unless you have some unusual requirement. You can
include any URL you want in the notifications; just edit the
notification command. For example, to include a link to the
Acknowledgement screen change your notification command to add
"http://your.nagios.host/cgi-bin/cmd.cgi?cmd_typ=34&host=$HOSTNAME$&service=$SERVICEDESC$
". For example --
define command {
command_name service-notify-by-email
command_line /bin/echo -e "Subject: Service
$SERVICEDESC$ $SERVICESTATE$ alert for $HOSTNAME$!\n\n* Nagios
*\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\nHost: $HOSTNAME$
\nState: $SERVICESTATE$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\n\nService:
$SERVICEDESC$\nInfo: $SERVICEOUTPUT$\n\nDate/Time: $LONGDATETIME$\n
\nAcknowledged by: $SERVICEACKAUTHOR$\nAcknowledgement:
$SERVICEACKCOMMENT$\n" | /bin/mail -s '** $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ alert -
$HOSTALIAS$/$SERVICEDESC$ is $SERVICESTATE$ **' $CONTACTEMAIL$
}
becomes
define command {
command_name service-notify-by-email
command_line /bin/echo -e "Subject: Service
$SERVICEDESC$ $SERVICESTATE$ alert for $HOSTNAME$!\n\n* Nagios
*\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\nHost: $HOSTNAME$

[Nagios-users] nrpe 2.8.1 vulnerabilites
Hi,I've just inherited a 2.8.1 installation on each client server and 2.6 on the reporting sysystem. I can't access the nagios website area to tell whether these versions are vulnerable to rootcompromise? Can anyone advise please?

No. For the Service Log Entries section of the Availability report, nagios is just displaying all log entries related to that host/service that it finds. It's providing that information, and the duration between pairs of entries, in the event that information is useful to you and to provide you with the context for the Service State Breakdowns displayed above that section. The Service State Breakdowns section of the Availability report *is* aware of states and duration between states, not just log entries. If nagios sees consecutive log entries with the same state, it knows that the service was in that state for the entire duration. For example, with log entries of -- 1:00 OK 2:00 CRITICAL 3:33 CRITICAL 4:00 OK 5:10 OK 6:00 CRITICAL Nagios would correctly report that the service was OK for 3 hours and CRITICAL for 2+ hours (ongoing) in the Service State Breakdowns section of the report. > I am not too sure with your above comments.

Re: [Nagios-users] any solution which will allow me to forward Nagios alerts to Netcool?
I wrote something for two way connection to netcool... For alerts themselves i use the tivoli command postemsg, if you have the license for that EIF probe, and wrote a shell script wrapper which gets executed by nagios as a notification command. I wrote something that reads the nagios log for problem ack/remove problem ack, sched downtime, add comments, del comments then sends postemsg commands to omnibus to let it know something is ack/down. I then created a fakehost/fakeservice which omnibus uses to send me external commands, so if someone is using netcool UI instead of nagios and want to sched downtime they do by formatting the appropriate command and sending to nagios via nsca (all this is behind the scenes in a web interface) printf fakehost\tfakservice\t3\tACK_SVC_PROB:host:arg:arg:arg...\n" |send_nsca The downtime deletion is a bit harder... I use host ifservice start/end time in epoch as identifiers and when omnibus sends me a del downtime i read in the status.log (or downtime.log for nagios2) and find the downtime id to delete.

Marc, Thanks for the reply. Please find my response embedded. Regards, Saiprasad From: Marc Powell To: Nagios Plugin Help List Sent: Wednesday, 26 August, 2009 5:50:17 PM Subject: Re: [Nagiosplug-help] Regarding Reports in Nagios So does this mean that the hours that are shown in Event Duration are the only entries for a particular host and is it that only for that many hours I get the data ? > Can someone please throw some light on this, as this is very serious > for me and does not give me an accurate data. The summary data above this section is 'accurate'. The entries you note are points at which you are restarting nagios I expect and you have log_initial_states enabled in nagios.cfg. When generating this list, nagios looks through nagios.log (or the archives) for any entries matching the host/service, calculates the times between them and displays them. The state does not factor into this particular calculation. There are features of nagios where that wouldn't be desired (state stalking, for example). Nagios does not normally log OK states unless it is a recovery from an outage so under 'normal' circumstances, the breakout list would be more like what you are expecting. Turn off 'log_initial_states' to do that. I am not too sure with your above comments. The only thing that I need to furnish to my manager is to let him know the exact Availability of a particular service or host for a particular month, etc. Is this possible and if yes how ?

In my experience, for more than a few dozen hosts, the Nagios status map doesn't work too well. I recommend you look at the Nagios Extended Status Map (NEXSM) http://nexsm.gridshield.net/Overview.html NEXSM can be a bit of a pain to install, so I recommend you look through the NEXSM online forum for notes on how easily to install it. I think NEXSM install is also covered in Wolfgang Barth's book (2nd Edition), but I bought the book after installing NEXSM so can't comment on how good his instructions are (if the rest of the book is anything to go by they're probably very good). Alternatively, there's the auto map in NagVis which doesn't give you the same host icons, but is arguably easier to maintain, although it does require you to run NDO. http://www.nagvis.org/ hth, Jim -- Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.

[Nagios-users] large map
Hello Guys
I have a silly question , and i know there must be a simple solution to it -
but it somehow eludes
me .
I am trying to make the map of my nagios to be some what readable , i have 366
hosts and in the map
they are all clustered in to the center with out branching although i tried
providing parenting and
map coordinates .
a typical host def looks like this :
define host{
use linux-server
host_name Nagios
hostgroups core
alias SSP Telecity Nagios server
address 127.0.0.1
contact_groups nagios-admins
icon_image suse.png
icon_image_alt SuSE host
statusmap_image suse.png
2d_coords 600,120
vrml_image suse.png
3d_coords 1.0,0.0,0.0
}
Any idea how i can make it appear branched out ?
Thanks
Assaf
