[Nagios-users] Multiple Interfaces
Hi there,
I want to define the hostdependency ;-)
Our idea is, when switch A goes down, nagios shouldn't send any alerts
from Server B,C,D which are connected on switch A.
OK, that shouldn't be a problem.
BUT, all of our switches have more than one Network interface, which we
are monitoring.
We have created one host definition for each interface, like this:
[...]
1st interface:
# 'sw-a--if-1' host definition
define host{
use generic-host; Name of host
template to use
host_name sw-a--if-1
alias sw-a--if-1
address 1.2.3.4
check_command check-host-alive
max_check_attempts 3
notification_interval 0
notification_period 24x7
notification_optionsd,u,r
contact_groups sys-admins
}
2nd interface:
# 'sw-a--if-2' host definition
define host{
use generic-host; Name of host
template to use
host_name sw-a--if-2
alias sw-a--if-2
address 5.6.7.8
check_command check-host-alive
max_check_attempts 3
notification_interval 0
notification_period 24x7
notification_optionsd,u,r
contact_groups sys-admins
}
[...]
We also created a global host definition for all switches which have
more than one interface.
[...]
# 'sw-a' host definition
define host{
use generic-host; Name of host
template to use
host_name sw-a
alias sw-a
address 1.2.3.4
check_command check-host-alive
max_check_attempts 3
notification_interval 0
notification_period 24x7
notification_optionsn
contact_groups sys-admins
}
[...]
Our final idea is, to create a host_group for each switch witch more
than one interface like:
host_group sw-a
members sw-a--if-1,sw-a--if-2
and final, the host_group sw-a is the 'host_name' in the
Hostdependency definition.
My question is now, is this possible, if yes, is there any dokumention
available.
Thanks in advance.

[Nagios-users] RE: nrpe ver. 2 on AIX 5.2 (Daniel Jimenez)
Daniel, I have been trying to get nagios installed on AIX 5.2 for some time but to no avail. Is there anything you can pass along that may help me? Did you have to install any extra AIX PTFs? I have Perl, gdlib, zlib, gcc and libpng installed. But where I'm getting into trouble is in the running of make on the main Nagios makefile.One of the errors is in regards to gcc warnings on a bunch of undeclared identifiers. I have been battling this for a while but can find no one that can help me. I pick it up and put it down. I am still running the old Netsaint and have been hanging on to that so I can have something. I promise not to take up too much of your time. I just want to get the base running. I can handle the plugins. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Never let the fear of striking out get in your way. Babe Ruth Aletha D Chrietzberg ISD - AIX Tech Services UNC Healthcare (919) 966-4888 --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Antwort: [Nagios-users] nagios not running host check_command
[EMAIL PROTECTED] schrieb am 28.11.2005 14:06:26: I have about 20 servers, for which I have no specific services to monitor, but which I am interested in their host status, ie the check_command in the host entry in the hosts.cfg file is set to check-host-alive. However, it appears that the host check_command is never executed, and availability for the host is always Undetermined - Insufficient Data 1d 0h 0m 0s 100.000% Also the status in Host Status detail is always pending, though there are no other checks configured for this host. If I explicitly add a check-host-alive for the host in a service configuration, then the host appears as up in the Host Status Details list, but obviously I would expect it to appears as UP due to the check_command Any ideas on whether this is the expected behaviour for the check_command directive? It is the expected behaviour. Nagios is a network monitoring tool, not a host-only monitoring tool. It actually expects that a host must have a kind of service running to be useful - which is more or less true in 99.99% of the cases ;) Therefor nagios works like this: 1. do the defined service-checks on all defined hosts 2. IF and only IF one of those checks fail, then issue a check_host_alive to see if it's a problem with the service or if the host is down It is safe to assume that a host is alive if its services are responding. Checking the host for being alive again is redundant unless one of its services fail. So you need to set up some kind of services for each host to have them appear as UP. Though there _is_ a configuration option to enforce check_host_alive checks, but alas I cannot remember it. Your best friend is the documentation in this matter.

Though there _is_ a configuration option to enforce check_host_alive checks, but alas I cannot remember it. Your best friend is the documentation in this matter. (or just look through the configfile and check for this particular option) You can use check_interval in the host definition to force regular host checks, however the documention says clearly that you should avoid this as much as possible. I'm a little curious to why though. Just as the OP I have a lot of hosts that has to real services, so I only monitor it though a simple ping. Currently I have it setup redundant with a check_ping service and a check_host_alive host check, but I think it would be cleaner to only have regulary scheduled host checks instead. My check_host_alive host command is running: check_fping -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w 5000,100% -c 5000,100% -n 1 while my check_ping service command is running check_fping -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$ -n 5 so only one ping packet will be sent for each host check (if the host responds) so the host check should even be faster than my service checks are with my current config. Is it still true that I would get a performance penalty by removing my service checks for these hosts and enabling a regularly scheduled host check instead? If so, why? Or is this statement about it beeing a performace penalty only true when you have other service checks scheduled that is normally executed much faster than the old default host check that would have waited for several pings before returning and thous causing a significant delay?

RE: [Nagios-users] RE: nrpe ver. 2 on AIX 5.2
I found out we can't use some of the plugins when I installed Netsaint. I'm assuming that hasn't changed. I'll be glad to cut paste the script I'm using if you'd like me to do that. I got some AIX plugins/scripts from Chris The Rocker and just took those, copied and modified them to my needs. I haven't heard from him in a long while and not sure where he is now. He had a web page for downloading them but I don't have that anymore either.It's very simple but it works for me. They were written for Netsaint originally but it shouldn't matter I wouldn't think. You tell me. Thanks guys for the install link I'll go try it and let you know on that too. Let me know about that plugin or others and I'll be glad send it. I will leave Chris' credits in there since these he did create them. -Original Message- From: Daniel Jimenez [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, November 28, 2005 10:56 AM To: Kevin Alford; Chrietzberg, Aletha; nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: RE: [Nagios-users] RE: nrpe ver. 2 on AIX 5.2 (Daniel Jimenez) I did follow the same instructions and as displayed in my previous email, I am unable to use check_disk.

Is there anything you can pass along that may help me? Did you have to install any extra AIX PTFs? I have Perl, gdlib, zlib, gcc and libpng installed. But where I'm getting into trouble is in the running of make on the main Nagios makefile.One of the errors is in regards to gcc warnings on a bunch of undeclared identifiers. I have been battling this for a while but can find no one that can help me. I pick it up and put it down. I am still running the old Netsaint and have been hanging on to that so I can have something. I promise not to take up too much of your time. I just want to get the base running. I can handle the plugins. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I will try that one.

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios 2.0b3: Notification for Parents only, not children
In message [EMAIL PROTECTED], Jesse Driskill writes: I've been trying to reduce the number of hosts I get notifications for to one when a parent dies. For example, if a set of server all have the same parent and that parents goes down I'd like to only get notified on the parent going down, not all the children. I have parents defined for every host in my environment but I still get notifications for both the children and the parents, so I think I've missed something. Check your host_notification_options directive in your contacts object. Are you choosing to get unreachable notifications (u is defined)? http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/xodtemplate.html#contact -- rouilj John Rouillard === My employers don't acknowledge my existence much less my opinions. --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
