Re: [Nagios-users] Check_disk problem on remote machines
Hello Miguel,
In our checkcommands.cfg file we have:
command_line$USER1$/check_by_ssh -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -t 60 -n
$HOSTNAME$ -s check_sda1_by_ssh -C '/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_disk
-w 20 -c 10 -p /dev/sda1'
and in our services.cfg we have:
# Check sda1 by ssh Service Definition Template
define service{
namecheck_sda1_by_ssh
service_description Check_sda1_by_ssh
check_command check_sda1_by_ssh
use generic-service
contact_groups support
notification_interval 0
notification_period workhours
notification_optionsc,f ;
Critical, Flapping
register0 ; DONT REGISTER THIS
DEFINITION - ITS NOT A REAL SERVICE, JUST A TEMPLATE!
}
define service{
use check_sda1_by_ssh ; Name
of service template to use
host_name megarouter
}
and it works successfully.
How are you referencing it in your services.cfg file i.e. what are you
using for the check_command?
cheers, Tim

This is a problem that I've been having for quite some time. Searching
the archives turns up a few other people reporting the same problem, but
I can't find a solution.
I am trying to use check_by_ssh to run the check_disk plugin on a few
remote systems. When I run this from the command line, it always does
the right thing. It returns the correct string and return code (checked
with 'echo $?'). It works flawlessly.
However, when this is set up to run through Nagios, it usually reports
the check in the UNKNOWN state...even though it still gives the correct
"OK..." string. Occasionally, Nagios will change it to OK or WARNING or
whatever is correct at the time, but for a good 90% of the time, it just
sits there in UNKNOWN. It doesn't seem to matter if the target machine
is Linux or Solaris, nor can I find any pattern to when and where it
happens. Again, it *always* works perfectly when run from the command
line.
I've played with giving check_by_ssh a hostname instead of an IP
address. I've tried it both with '-l nagios' and without (it's always
run from nagios account). I've also tried the -f flag (the purpose of
which I don't really understand). Nothing seems to help. For the time
being, I'm just running an SNMP client to get this info into Nagios, but
I'd really rather use check_by_ssh if at all possible.
Has anyone else seen this problem and/or found the cause of it?
Here's the exact command I'm using on the command line. This same thing
is configutred in my .cfg file.
check_by_ssh -H 192.168.230.112 -C
'/home/utils/nagios/libexec/check_disk -w 10% -c 5% -p /var'
Thanks!

Make sure the script or binary you are trying to execute actually exists... over and over. this is particularly confusiong as i never reran configure nor did I ever uninstall the /check_ping programme it is still in place and executable. Hmm. I *really* hope you never installed the plugins in your root directory. Any ideas? Return code 127 means that the plugin was not found in the location specified in the command definition. Nagios is apparently trying to execute /check_ping and not /path/to/check_ping (usually /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_ping). There are four primary possibilities -- 1) your command definition does not utilize the $USER1$ macro in the command_line i.e. 'command_line $USER1$/check_ping -H ...' 2) you have manually specified the incorrect path in the command_line i.e. 'command line /check_ping -H ...' 3) $USER1$ is not set to the correct plugins path in resource.cfg 4) you have not included resource.cfg as a resource_file in nagios.cfg One other possibility I encountered: When the resource.cfg file is not readable by nagios, the above happens after nagios reloaded its configuration. The initial configuration file access happens before nagios drops its rights (when started as root), but afterwards, during operation, it's simply no longer permitted to read the resource.cfg... he easy work-around is a chown on the file followed by another configuration reload.

[Nagios-users] Escalation questions
Greetings. I'm trying to set up a quick escalation procedure for 3
hosts. Host Down alerts are generated for these hosts on a daily basis
due to the load on the first of the 3 items. This particular problem
always resolves itself by the time next check happens (causing a host
down alert followed by a host up alert 2 minutes later).
What I'd like to do is use an escalation procedure with the first
contact being the user "null" I created on my Nagios box for the
explicit purpose of directing mail to /dev/null (this works already with
a few other contacts). I've already created a "null" contactgroup for
this purpose. I'd like the normal alerting process to start again after
15 minutes if the host(s) is still down. This would prevent half a
dozen people from being paged daily with what equates to a bogus alert
(causing them to slowly but surely stop paying as much attention to the
alerts over time). I'm a bit confused on how to implement this though.
Here's what I've got so far:
define hostescalation{
host_name cmts-1.clr
contact_groups isp-net-admins,cmts-admins
first_notification 1
notification_interval 15
escalation_period 24x7
escalation_options d,u,r
}
isp-net-admins and cmts-admins are the normal contactgroups for these
hosts. "null" is the contact(group) I want to use for the first 15
minutes before the escalation takes place on these 3 hosts. I'm a
little confused on the notification_interval options. My hosts/services
are by default running at 180 (minutes). Will the notification_interval
in this hostescalation definition override that? I'm not sure if I'm
taking the right approach to this or not so I welcome any and all
suggestions.
I've been reviewing the online docs and have made good headway. I'm
stuck at the moment though.
Thanks
Justin

I would appreciate feedback on this issue. Try reading the nagios docs on soft_state_dependencies. Then setting soft_state_dependencies=1 in nagios.cfg. If A depends on B (aka no alert on A when B in trouble) make sure that: retry_check_interval(A) * max_check_attempts(A) > normal_check_interval(B) That should guarantee that at least one check of B occurs during the trouble interval for A. Without the soft_state_dependencies you must use: retry_check_interval(A) * max_check_attempts(A) > normal_check_interval(B) + (retry_check_interval(B) * max_check_attempts(B)) to make sure that B goes into a hard state during the trouble interval of A. -- rouilj John Rouillard === My employers don't acknowledge my existence much less my opinions. --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

[Nagios-users] Service Check Timed Out
Hello,
this is the error i see in the cgi web interface.
in the error log i see stuff like:
SERVICE NOTIFICATION:
noc;host-aaa;FPING;CRITICAL;notify-by-email;(Service Check Timed Out)
SERVICE ALERT: host-bbb;FPING;CRITICAL;HARD;3;(Service Check Timed Out)
SERVICE ALERT: host-ccc;FPING;CRITICAL;SOFT;1;(Service Check Timed Out)
The FPING service is a perl script i wrote wich does a fping, and a
snmpwalk. In the worst case scenario this should take are 30 seconds to run.
I've set up service_check_timeout=90 in the main (nagios.cfg) config file.
The machine is under medium to heavy load, but i can't understand why
it's getting a timeout, as 90 seconds seem more than enough for any of
the scripts to run.
Is there any possibility that this is generated by the check-host-alive
plugin and it escalates ? or something like that ... ?
The nagios configuration is pretty simple, some of the more important
things are:
inter_check_delay_method=s
service_interleave_factor=s
max_concurrent_checks=0
service_reaper_frequency=10
service_check_timeout=90
host_check_timeout=90
event_handler_timeout=30
notification_timeout=30
ocsp_timeout=15
perfdata_timeout=15
check_for_orphaned_services=0
check_service_freshness=1
freshness_check_interval=60
==
The service template is:
==
define service{
namegeneric-ping2
active_checks_enabled 1
passive_checks_enabled 1
parallelize_check 1
obsess_over_service 1
check_freshness 0

Re: [Nagios-users] Check_disk problem on remote machines
have you tried using the nagios-statd plugin ? http://www.freshports.org/sysutils/nagios-statd/ i use it to monitor both disk usage and workload . Assaf Miguel Faria wrote: This is a problem that I've been having for quite some time. Searching the archives turns up a few other people reporting the same problem, but I can't find a solution. I am trying to use check_by_ssh to run the check_disk plugin on a few remote systems. When I run this from the command line, it always does the right thing. It returns the correct string and return code (checked with 'echo $?'). It works flawlessly. However, when this is set up to run through Nagios, it usually reports the check in the UNKNOWN state...even though it still gives the correct "OK..." string. Occasionally, Nagios will change it to OK or WARNING or whatever is correct at the time, but for a good 90% of the time, it just sits there in UNKNOWN. It doesn't seem to matter if the target machine is Linux or Solaris, nor can I find any pattern to when and where it happens. Again, it *always* works perfectly when run from the command line.

RE: [Nagios-users] Dependency issue
thanks for the tip but this doesn't work. It seems that its very dependent on when the next scheduled check will be. If I set max_check_attempts to 5 for services B or C, and then have max_check_attempts set to 1 on service A, it makes no difference. Service B or C could still be scheduled to be checked before service A. In fact, on the first check attempt for service B, for example, a critical alert is generated. I want Nagios to detect that Service B or C is a dependency on Service A, and then if Service A is alerting, suppress alerts for Service B or C. But nagios doesn't seem to do any kind of dependency lookup if a dependency is already alerting. Kind of defeats, in my view, the logic of dependencies. There is no point in Nagios telling me that Service B or C is down, when Service A is down. Service A must be UP for any of its dependencies to work. If however, Service A is OK, then yes - Service B or C should alert if necessary. If I were to have 20 dependencies against a master service, I don't want 20 potential alerts being generated! Plus I want to know the EXACT cause of the problem not have to hunt it down every time. Isn't that one of the points of Nagios - to be able to finely tune plugin checks so that we can easily investigate a problem ? It seems that I needn't bother with dependencies if this is how it's going to work. Does anyone else agree / disagree because it seems to me that either the docs are not explaining dependencies correctly, or Nagios is not behaving correctly.

However, i've had a couple of situations where Service B or Service C may fail first, generate an alert AND then Service A fails which also generates an alert. Is there a way in Nagios that can flip over to only alerting for Service A in this situation and supress anything for Service B and Service C until recovery occurs.

You can use a remote shell like SSH and issue the command ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] 'echo $mess | gnokii --sendsms $number' from your Nagios host. However, automating this process requires the use of an authentication agent like ssh-agent.
