[Nagios-users] multiple timeperiods?
I'm driving myself mad with the amount of editing I'm having to do to put people 'on-call' Is there any way to put multiple timeperiods in a contact's service_notification_period/host_notification_period? Or, some other way that I'm not visualizing? Right now, I pretty much have to have a timeperiod defined for each schedule. I'd much rather be able to have a person's normal schedule, then append an "on-call" timeperiod, as well, instead of having to edit-in the on-call times to a person's individual timeperiod. Any help would be appreciated. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part ___ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null

My obvious point was, replying having deleted all context is not useful in any way. A mailing list is not a one-on-one conversation (where such behaviour is *still* poor form), and context is vital to a useful posting.

"should", perhaps. It's bitten me. Any zombies would maintain the old config, no? I can say, for sure, I have seen it with my server here.

For us, the problem is that with over 6,000 services and 5 different teams (Software, Networking, Infrastructure, Unix Administration, and Internal Development) all working with the same monitoring system, having the screens in the NOC showing problems that are already being actively worked on would be horribly annoying. For instance, the Network Team sees an alert about a router being down - before the router goes to Hard Down, though, 4 services get to a Soft Critical. They are on the problem and dealing with it, so they Ack it. The Software Team doesn't need to keep staring at the problem on the projectors at the front of the NOC, so such filtering allows a much more useful front screen. Not to mention, over here, that router is very likely at a client site, and they powered it off (either on accident or just without telling us) and we CAN'T fix it ourselves. And what about Downtime? We have Windows servers that need updates and whatnot - when they're in Downtime and go all-red, the NOC doesn't need to see that crap. And what about hardware failures on a primary server that gets temporarily swapped with an on-site spare? We don't need to see all-red spare servers for a week before they're replaced. Not to mention, our NOC is a "show piece" when the execs are touring clients around to show them how we watch the services we provide them. Having a bunch of Red/Yellow/Orange up there is no good, if we can help it. When we were <10 people (3 years ago) and worked in a room with no windows, this wasn't necessary (only about 600 or 800 services then, too). Now we're over thirty (closer to forty) people, a partially-glass-walled, tiered NOC and have the aforementioned 6,000+ services (and another thousand or so going in in the next month with more clients coming on board). So, it's all an issue of scale and what the needs of the individual team (or teams) need and want. Of course, it would just be easier if everything just stayed green, though :) signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

We don't understand what you're asking here, exactly. Acknowledging a problem allows Nagios to continue checking the service until it recovers, but doesn't send alerts. the implication is that you (or whoever) is Acknowledging that they know about the problem, and are working on it.

My solution here is to change the default web page to filter out Ack'd and Downtime'd hosts and services. I think that's a lot more "correct" a solution, personally. I would not like people falsely changing the state of services or hosts. Not to mention, such a false submission would be over-ridden by the active service check within 3-5 minutes. https://yournagioshost/nagios/cgi-bin/status.cgi?host=all&hoststatustypes=15&hostprops=10&servicestatustypes=28&serviceprops=10&sorttype=1&sortoption=6 signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

What I do is set $USER32$ to the geographic location (say, UK or DE), then my distributed submit script (via nsca) sends '$USER32$ - $HOSTOUTPUT$' (or '$USER32$ - $SERVICEOUTPUT$') for the output instead of just the output.

[Nagios-users] Event broker causing graph gaps?
I've experimented with the cause/effect relationship of the NDO utils running as the event broker, and I can say positively that it is "causing" my service graphs to have lots of gaps for checks that write metrics to RRD files. I'm honestly at a loss as to why, though. The load hasn't gone up on the nagios server (if anything, it's gone down a bit). The MySQL backend is very comfy (low load, again). All rrd writes are done *within* the plugin (both with an apan wrapper and custom scripts). Yet, the checks appear to be happening (alerts are still going out, etc). Definitely perplexing.

[Nagios-users] check_ssh_login ?
I need to check if I can log into a specific account on a system via SSH, but due to the nature of the system (tunneled to a serial console), I am unable to set up a key pair. check_ssh only verifies that the system is answering to SSH requests (which doesn't help me, the serial console host almost certainly responds). check_by_ssh is *close*, but provides no method of passing a password via the command line (which, yes, is a ghetto method of doing things, but you would still have to know the login to the system, and it *is different*), and it requires a remote command to execute. So, before I delve into hacking this functionality into check_by_ssh, does anyone have a solution with existing tools? signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

always cc the list so others may learn by your experiences.

'Premature end of script headers' *almost always* means the cgi is throwing an error (before completing headers the browser can understand).

It's a common problem, but it has many (simple) solutions. This is an apache-related problem, not Nagios, though. You'll find it. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

The fastest way would be to remove your serviceextinfo definition. ;) Just hack the line in the source of the cgi that's displaying it and recompile. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Do you have use_regexp_matching turned on? Do you have use_true_regexp_matching turned off?

I never thought to set mine up the "old way", I've always done it as you described as the "new way". By what you're describing, though, I wish it worked the "old way"...sounds a lot cleaner (I do hate the passive icons for actively-checked-elsewhere services). signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
