Re: [Nagios-users] OID's missing for check_snmp_cpfw.pl
Hi,I've been running it for some time without problem. We are running some IP710 and IP650 with up to date software. Are you sure that the nokia snmp service is running as well as the checkpoint one? On the device you should be able to see two processes running : snmpd (port 161) and cpsnmpd (port 260). If the processes are running verify the output of : snmpwalk -v2c -c SNMPCOMMUNITY FWNAMEORIP .1.3.6.1.4.1.2620.1.1.2 Did you authorize snmp from the nagios host to the host IP? seb.

[Nagios-users] nagios3 and embeded perl
Hi list,
I've been planning to upgrade to Nagios3 lately and wanted to start using
the ePN.
Compiling with or without ePN works fine. But if I try to run the perl
enabled Nagios version it nicely segfaults at startup.
(Of course the non ePN Nagios daemon works fine)

Re: [Nagios-users] Best way to monitor application clusters
In similar cases I've always used the NDO database to query the status of a group of things. There are also some other options check_multi for example ( http://my-plugin.de/wiki/doku.php/check_multi) of course the nagios documentation may help you on this: http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/clusters.html Concerning the "simple login web page", I would again suggest you to have a look at NDO. Creating a simple PHP/Python/Perl/ASP page to query the database is not complicated and would allow you to create custom displays for specific usages.

Re: [Nagios-users] guest access
Can't you just do this by playing with the apache and nagios configs? I've done this in the past and it was not really a catch the only thing is that you need 2 nagios configurations files: one serving the unauthenticated content with no exec permissions, one with the authenticated content with the exec permissions (this also means that you need two set of cgi scripts reading different nagios config files). Other options is to not use apache native authentication but to create your own apache auth module. This can be done in perl using mod-perl or mod-python. In this case you setup a proper authentication mechanism under apache with a default guest user account to fallback if no proper auth is provided. This is probably nicer and provides more flexibility but is probably more complicated. Some examples of apache authentication modules: perl: apache::authcookie ( http://search.cpan.org/~mschout/Apache-AuthCookie-3.10/lib/Apache2/AuthCookie.pm ) python: http://www.modpython.org/live/current/doc-html/tut-more-complicated.html I've done some code on this here: http://www.barbich.net/websvn/wsvn/nagios/nagios/doc/mod_apache_authentication/?rev=0&sc=0 On 7/29/07, Paul Dugas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Been fiddling with this for a while now and am stumped.

Re: [Nagios-users] Using SNMP as an alternative to NRPE
Here my 2cents: I've always used SNMP for gathering data on my devices.Why:* SecurityI don't find SNMP security being that worse than that of any network daemon. It provides ACL and can distinguish betwen various privileges levels. (Of course this depends on the snmp implementation but you'll always have a distinguish betwen read and write priv). What snmp v1/v2 mainly lacks IMHO is the absence of any encryption capacity. On the other hand you have to keep in mind that the data your polling is not a TOP SECRET data file. Also, most of my customers prefer to run daemons and services provided by their OS vendor and not some third party tidbit they don't trust. This is also true for the security management teams I've been working with, they prefer to see some well known protocol rather than some "obscur" thing travelling through their firewalls (obscur for them I mean). * FunctionnalityOf course, SNMP can and will not provide you as much flexibility as NRPE to gather information from systems. But for monitoring standard thinks like CPU,MEM,disk, processes, ... it does the job and it does it well. So once the snmp service is running I do not have to bother to install the NRPE service, check wether it's available for this platform or not, recompile ... Also, on commercial systems, I'm much more confident that any upgrade done by the customer on his systems won't brake the SNMP layer, this is not something I can be sure of with NRPE (have seen some rare cases where it stopped working after upgrades). Concerning, the functionnalities of SNMP, you can do anything you want when using some advanced snmp services like NET-SNMP (retrieving script results for example). Some OS and hardware providers had developed very interesting SNMP MIBS containing lots of information to gather and analyse. This can also be interresting to quickly start your Nagios project in the company: just ask for a readonly community and your up&running. But of course, there are thinks you will not be able to check as easyly as expected with SNMP. This brings us to last point:* Learning curveLearning to use SNMP, learning where the interresting things are, can be a real nightmare with SNMP.So, as said, I've always used SNMP in my Nagios installations and never had to regret it. The choice betwen NRPE & SNMP is I think more a question of habits and of the context of the installation. Cheers,Seb.PS:Concerning the monitoring through ssh here is why I would not recommend this : security (need an account on every system), ssh is not available on some systems, traffic overhead, ... ==See Nagios in action: http://runnagios.beOn 7/17/06, Alexander Harvey < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:I'm not sure I can shed much light onto the subject, but I can say that we were going to use a product called 'SolarWinds' that called upon the net-snmp package and we found that the documentation for that project was quite hopeless and we gave up in despair.

[Nagios-users] Nagios Hypergraph 3D view
Hello list, I've made a simple script to transform a Nagios configuration tree into a strutuctured XML document readable by hypergraph (http://hypergraph.sourceforge.net/). This enables you to have an alerternate 3D view of the parent relationship between host in your configuration. A demo is running here: http://barbich.net/hypergraph_demo/ Screenshot: http://barbich.net/hypergraph_demo/sample_hypergraph.png Script sources and sample files are in the same place. Merry christmas to everyone, Seb.Barbereau

From the foundry mib file:

Only management module built with temperature sensor hardware is applicable. For those non-applicable management module, it returns no-such-name."

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios-db mysql module not working UPDATE
hi,
here is a patch to the current CVS revision of nagios-db for postgres.
This patch does:
* correct a bug on startup concerning neb_register_callback command change
* add some logging messages to help debugging
* correct a small typo in handling options (see "offset bugs in option parsing"
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=12557459 )
* modified neb initialisation so that 'processStart' is called when Nagios starts and not when we have a NEBCALLBACK_TIMED_EVENT_DATA . The problem was that processStart() was called berfore the nagios configuration was loaded and therefor processStart() did not have configuration data available.
File is available here: http://www.barbich.net/websvn/wsvn/nagios/nagios/patches/nagios-db/inserter.c.patch?op=file&rev=0&sc=0
Good luck.
Seb.B

neb_register_callback(NEBCALLBACK_SERVICE_CHECK_DATA,processCheck, 0, processCheck);In all honesty, I have no idea if this change is correct. It *looks* right, but I am obviously not sure. Any help would be appreaciated.

Betreff: [Nagios-users] Nagios-db mysql module not workingHi All!I have Nagios 2.0b5, nagios-db 0.91 and MySQL 4.1.15, including MySQL-MAX 4.1.15. When Nagios starts I see the module is loaded("nagios-db: inserter locked into db") and the appropriate message when nagios shuts down. However, nothing is getting loaded into the database, and I do not see any error messages in /var/log/messages.
I have changed inserted.c to reflect the user/password of the database(nagios/nagios) and I can log inusing the mysql command and insert data directly into the tables. I have also tried changing the values (i.e
.nagios2/nagios) in the nebmodule_init function and it reports the error"nagios-db: inserter failed to connect to db". This convinces be that at least I am connecting to the database and the username/password are correct.
The nagios.cfg has this:event_broker_options=-1broker_module=/opt/INSTALL/nagios-db-0.91/neb/mysql/inserter.oAnd the path is correct.Near the top of the loadconfig function I added this:
write_to_logs_and_console("Inside ofloadconfig",NSLOG_INFO_MESSAGE,TRUE);As well as in a couple of other places.My assumption is that it should write an entry to /var/log/messages when this function is called. Perhaps the function is being called, but this line is not writing to where I expect. It seems that other than the init/deinit functions, nothing else is getting called.
I loaded another NEB module that has this:snprintf(temp_buffer,sizeof(temp_buffer)-1,"EVENT: %d MESSAGE:%s",event_type,tmp_service->plugin_output);write_to_all_logs(temp_buffer,NSLOG_INFO_MESSAGE);
These messages are getting writting to the /var/log/messages.I am at a loss as to where to look next. Any help is greatly appreaciated.Regards,Jim Mohr---
