[Nagios-users] nagios giving problem
hi list i recently migrated the nagios from one machine to another. the previous were running 2.0b2 and the new one is running 2.0b6. i copied all the configuration files and custom plugins from the old to new machine, now i'm getting problem with nagios on the new machine. 1) when i start nagios with "nagios start" srcipt it gives me an error /usr/local/nagios# /etc/rc.d/rc.nagios start Starting network monitor: nagios No directory, logging in with HOME=/ okay i thinks its working but i'm can access the web its gives me error.. 2) It appears as though you do not have permission to view information for any of the hosts you requested... If you believe this is an error, check the HTTP server authentication requirements for accessing this CGI and check the authorization options in your CGI configuration file. 3) when i gives command /etc/rc.d/rc.nagios stop its sometime gives me ... can't find /usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.lock ... and long screen to nagios usages. nagios -v nagios.cfg , gives no error or warning. I can successfully logged in to web interface but can't able to view any host info. any help in this regards will be greatly appreciated regards, askar --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

[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/).

Re: [Nagios-users] NRPE 2.0 arguments question
Hello Jeremy There is no problem about it... I have my checkcommands.cfg's check_nrpe configured like check_nrpe -t 30 -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -c $ARG1$ -a $ARG2$ $ARG3$ $ARG4$ $ARG5$ $ARG6$ $ARG7$ $ARG8$ $ARG9$ $ARG10$ $ARG11$, just in case I need lots of arguments. The only point you have to pay attention is passing no arguments at all... There may be - as far as I'm concerned - two problems: 1. Passing no arguments at service configuration will cause a blank -a execution of check_nrpe, causing and error (check_nrpe: option requires and argument -- a). In this case, you can use just a dummy argument, like check_command check_nrpe!check_cpu!1. No real function to the "1" argument, but solves your problem! 2. If the NRPE host was not compiled with --enable-command-args, you will receive an unkown status with the message "CHECK_NRPE output error" (or something like that). For both cases, another way to solve those problems would be creating two different check commands, i.e. check_nrpe_args and check_nrpe_noargs. I hope that helps you!

I have a service defined as so:
define service {
use generic-service
host_name db
service_description AppServer
is_volatile 0
check_period24x7
max_check_attempts 4
normal_check_interval 5
retry_check_interval1
contact_groups admins
notification_interval 60
notification_period 24x7
check_command check_tcp!db.foo.com!3737!PING\n!ACK
}
But that doesn't work even when using the command line like so:
$ /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_tcp -H db.foo.com -p 3737 -s 'PING\n' -e 'ACK'
What does work is putting actuall newlines but you can't do that in the config
file. I remember reading about a character sequence you're supposed to use for
newlines in the config files but I can't find it anywhere.

[Nagios-users] Service notifications tied to host_groups?
>From my understanding of the manual, who gets notified for a service problem is separate from who gets notified for a host problem. Is there a way to configure things so that a service-related notification is sent to the host_group's contact group instead? For example: HostA is managed by Bob. HostB is managed by Bill. Both HostA and HostB run Apache, so in my nagios config there is an HTTP service with "HostA,HostB" in the "host_name" field. If HTTP dies on either HostA or HostB, it appears the notification would be sent to the contact_groups listed in the HTTP service definition. What I would like to have happen is that if HTTP dies on HostA, the notification goes to "Bob" and, of course, to "Bill" if it does on HostB. Is the only way around this to create a unique HTTP service for both HostA and HostB? Thanks! -Ben --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Do you grep through log files for problems? Stop!

Re: [Nagios-users] nagios giving problem
Taking a stab at it, based on the first error message (no directory, taking HOME=/), I think you may not have a "nagios" user on the new system (or whatever username you chose for nagios). That's the sort of error I'd expect when there is no /etc/passwd entry for a user, since that's where the users' HOME directory would normally be discovered by the login procedure. I wonder if the CGI errors similarly stem from something missing in the user at the system level, so the CGI validation goes bad. Hope that helps. -Dean On Mon, 2005-12-19 at 13:56 +0500, Askar Ali wrote: > hi list > > > i recently migrated the nagios from one machine to another. the previous > were running 2.0b2 and the new one is running 2.0b6. > > i copied all the configuration files and custom plugins from the old to > new machine, > > now i'm getting problem with nagios on the new machine. > > 1) when i start nagios with "nagios start" srcipt it gives me an error > > /usr/local/nagios# /etc/rc.d/rc.nagios start > Starting network monitor: nagios > No directory, logging in with HOME=/ > > okay i thinks its working but i'm can access the web its gives me error.. > > 2) > It appears as though you do not have permission to view information for > any of the hosts you requested... > If you believe this is an error, check the HTTP server authentication > requirements for accessing this CGI > and check the authorization options in your CGI configuration file. > > 3) when i gives command /etc/rc.d/rc.nagios stop its sometime gives me ... > > can't find /usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.lock ... and long screen to > nagios usages. > > nagios -v nagios.cfg , gives no error or warning. > > I can successfully logged in to web interface but can't able to view any > host info. > > > any help in this regards will be greatly appreciated > > > regards, > > askar > > > > > --- > This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

I am running Nagios on a host to monitor bunch of services. I have setup 2 mins as frequency for some of the services. The issue I am facing is that Nagios stops running in timely fashion at around midnight daily (12:00 AM to 02:00 AM) and I do not get timely data for the services I am monitoring.
I added a Nagios plugin to take backup for status.log every 5 mins. I found that there is only one copy of status.log saved during 12:00 AM to 01:00 AM, and 2-3 copies between 01:00 am to 2:00 AM . It's behaving correctly as it should for rest of the time and it saves around 12 different copies for status.log each hour.
I have setup timeperiod to be 24 Hours A Day, 7 Days A Week. Here is my timeperiod definition:
# '24x7' timeperiod definition
define timeperiod{
timeperiod_name 24x7
alias 24 Hours A Day, 7 Days A Week
sunday 00:00-24:00
monday 00:00-24:00
tuesday 00:00-24:00
wednesday 00:00-24:00
thursday 00:00-24:00
friday 00:00-24:00
saturday 00:00-24:00
}
I have no idea what's going on.
Any pointers will be highly appreciated!
Thanks,
Sandeep
[Nagios-users] SQL Server monitoring
Northern Valley CommuRecently, we had a server issue with one of MSSQL servers. It never went down, but it did reject any type of connection that would be sent to it. All websites that tried to conenct to a database on that server failed. They all showed RunTime errors. We have nagios set up to monitor if the SQl servers are physically down, but is there a way to have nagios check the connectivity of a server that is up to see if it is still accepting connections?Thanks for your help.ThanksJason B.Hosting TechnicianPortal Web HostingNorthern Valley Communications nications
RE: [Nagios-users] SQL Server monitoring
You could either use a plugin that connects to the MSSQL server port (1433 by default) and check the response. Or There are a few plugins that check to see if a result can be obtained from an actual query against mysql, you could adapt that for MSSQL Or You could use a plugin that will check your website (a page that uses a database lookup) and check to see if the page returns ok or not. --Dennis From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of JasonSent: Monday, December 19, 2005 1:10 PMTo: Nagios ListSubject: [Nagios-users] SQL Server monitoring Northern Valley CommuRecently, we had a server issue with one of MSSQL servers.

Re: [Nagios-users] SQL Server monitoring
This Nagios FAQ entry might be of some help... http://www.nagios.org/faqs/viewfaq.php?faq_id=156 We've used this to create a basic connectivity check, as well as a generic 'stored procedure' check. The home grown plugin expects results in a given format (1 row, 2 columns), thus this allows the DBAs to write whatever checks they need without having to change the plugin code all the time. The same plugin was altered slightly to do the same for Oracle. Cheers. --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Do you grep through log files for problems? Stop!

[Nagios-users] how do I show some users some sets of hosts?
I have Nagios running nicely, but I'm a relative newbie. This is a "how do I organize it" question. How do I configure Nagios so that when a user logs in to Nagios, they see only the subset of the hosts, not all of them? Our security guys want to know the status of about 20 machines. Some of these machines are down for days at a time, for testing. The security guys don't care about the rest of the machines that I monitor with Nagios. They just want to see a screen that shows them an overview of the status of their machines. These guys can be satisfied with a hostgroup named "security". Great. Our operations staff doesn't want to see the security hostgroup. Like the security guys, the operations staff wants to see a screen that's "all green", so the "security" hostgroup just represents non-green clutter. These guys don't want to see the "security" hostgroup at all, but they want to see the other 15 hostgroups that I've defined. How can I satisfy the security guys and the operations guys? -- Pete --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Do you grep through log files for problems? Stop!

[Nagios-users] Different monitoring times/escalations, same services
I've set up nagios 2.0 with a number of hosts, hostgroups, services,
servicegroups and service escalations. However, I'm having trouble
working out how I can go about configuring some of these services so
that the notification/escalation pattern is different at different times.
For example, we have this service:
define service{
name
generic-template-library-high-priority-service
servicegroupsweekday-high-priority-services
max_check_attempts 2
normal_check_interval1
retry_check_interval 1
check_period libsys-operating-hours
notification_interval2
notification_period libsys-operating-hours
notification_options w,u,c
contact_groups libsys-DEC
register 0
}
define service{
host_namejasper
service_description Check process [httpd]
check_commandlibrary_check_nrpe-check_procs_name!1:99!1:149!httpd
use generic-template-library-high-priority-service
}
The servicegroup that this service is a member of follows a particular
escalation pattern during our operating hours. However, on the weekend,
we'd like the notification/escalation pattern to be completely
different, as we don't want the person on call to be bombarded with text
messages if they can't get to a PC to acknowledge the service problem.
The number of services we want to monitor on the weekend is also much
smaller than during the week. I can't, at the moment, see any other way
to set up the notification schedule for on-call monitoring without
creating multiple copies of services marked as "Check process [httpd] -
weekday" and "Check process [httpd] - weekend" (for example).
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can set this up? If I could
just override notification timings in servicegroup descriptions, I think
this would be the answer, but I'm almost certain that isn't possible.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Guy

I think the answer you seek can be found here:
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/xodtemplate.html#serviceescalation
You would only have one service definition, but different copies of the
service escalation. The different copies of the service escalation would
have different escalation_period directives, i.e.:
$ cat libsys-escalation01.cfg
define serviceescalation{
hostgroup_name redhat-servers
service_description Check process [httpd]
contact_groups libsys-DEC
first_notification 3
last_notification6
notification_interval5
>>> escalation_periodlibsys-weekdays
escalation_options w,u,c
}
$ cat libsys-escalation02.cfg
define serviceescalation{
hostgroup_name redhat-servers
service_description Check process [httpd]
contact_groups libsys-DEC
first_notification 2
last_notification2
notification_interval0
>>> escalation_periodlibsys-weekend
escalation_options w,u,c
}
So the above configuration would give you normal notifications until the
3rd notification, during weekdays, (or whatever) then on weekends give
you only one additional notification after the first.
So you would wind up with two copies of each service escalation - is
that less than doubling the number of services?
And if you have multiple different escalations per service (I know you
do, don't hold out on us) then copy all escalations and apply the
appropriate time period. (Then you wind up with '2 x total number of
service escalations' - is that still less than your number of services??
lol)
Good luck!
p.s. you must realise these truths before you can leave the temple,
grasshopper... yes, it's been a slow day
