[Nagios-users] Nagios check_ping times
I sporadically ( 1 or 2 times/day for 50 hosts) get check_ping returing average response times of 500ms plus resulting in false "critical" alerts from Nagios. E.G. PING CRITICAL - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 535.87 ms I'm running Suse 9.1 on VMWare ESX server. I DO NOT believe vmware to be a factor because I also run smokeping on this virtual machine. SmokePing sends 3 pings every 5 seconds to the same hosts and never shows the 500ms+ latency that Nagios reports. During the course of a typical day I get 80-100 of these "false alarms" I suspect the problem is in the nagios daemon and how i have it configured. When i run check_ping manually i can't reproduce the 500ms+. Are there any quick tests or diagnostics to help figure what's going on? Reg --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

But my configure script is the same now that is was with 2.0rc1 and previous versions. In fact, I think that I have tried to say no to building with the embedded perl interpreter and it was enabled anyway. Thanks, Alex -- --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

[Nagios-users] 2.0rc2 question
Do we need a new nrpe for 2.0rc2 that is later than what worked with 2.0rc1? All of my nrpe checks are failing with a '(No output!)' response and all that I changed was nagios 2.0rc1 to 2.0rc2.

[Nagios-users] SMTP WARNING but STATUS OK
I've installed Nagios on FreeBSD not a long time ago and now I'm facing that I really don't understand. I defined a host with two associate where one is check_smtp. When I configure the plugin to have a wrong anwser from the server (with the -C and -R parameters), I get "SMTP WARNING - Invalid." in the Status Information but the Current Status still "OK" so I don' t receive any notifications for that host even if there is a warning. Can somebody guide me on that error? Thank you - André Boulianne, ing. jr

[Nagios-users] retention.dat not created
Howdy fellow Nagios users. I've been researching a Nagios issue I've
been experience, and as I haven't yet been able to resolve it with
help from the nagios forums, I thought I would try the mailing list.
My system: FreeBSD 6.0 / Nagios 2.0b6 and 2.0rc1
The problem: I've been unable to get retention.dat working as
described in the documentation. The file is never created. It
doesn't appear to be a file/dir permissions problem (running as
nagios/nagios). It's not a "multiple Nagios processes" problem. The
file never gets created or populated with data. I've tried values of
0, 3, and 60 for retention_update_interval, and have restarted Nagios
(killed all procs) and given it plenty of time to populate
retention.dat, I never see the file created.
My need is to have Nagios remember disabled service checks and
disabled notifications when it is restarted.
Below are the relevant parts of my config (please assume a host entry
exists):
retain_state_information=1
state_retention_file=/var/spool/nagios/retention.dat
retention_update_interval=60
use_retained_program_state=1
use_retained_scheduling_info=1
define service{
name generic-service
active_checks_enabled 1
is_volatile 0
check_period 24x7
max_check_attempts 2
normal_check_interval 5
retry_check_interval 1
passive_checks_enabled 0
parallelize_check 1
obsess_over_service 1
check_freshness 0
notifications_enabled 1
notification_interval 120
notification_period 24x7
notification_options c,r
event_handler_enabled 1
flap_detection_enabled 1
process_perf_data 1
retain_status_information 1
retain_nonstatus_information 1
register 0
}
define service{
use generic-service
host_name somehostname.domain.com
service_description SSH Secure Shell
contact_groups level_1_notifications
check_command check_ssh
}
And a couple of directory listings:
/var/spool # ls -la
drwxrwxrwx 2 nagios nagios 512 Jan 3 09:54 nagios
/var/spool/nagios # ls -la
-rw-rw-r-- 1 nagios nagios 784 Dec 29 18:35 comments.dat
-rw-rw-r-- 1 nagios nagios 241 Dec 28 15:21 downtime.dat

-rw-rw-r-- 1 nagios nagios 165614 Jan 3 09:55 status.dat
Here's a link to the forums thread I've been working in, if I get an
answer via the list I will also post it there for posterity:
