[Nagios-users] Network outage not handled correctly
Hi folks, this night we had a router down. As I understand ist, Nagios should not have notified about "host down" for the hosts set behind those routers (I have set up a fitting parent structure, and the map looks okay). But for every host behind the died router there was a "host down" message as well as a "host up" message. Is there anything additional to configure to get network outages handled right?

[Nagios-users] check_mailq running wild
Hi folks, early this morning Nagios (that means: check_mailq) claimed ALL of my hosts to have increasing mailqueues which went up to 40 mail waiting there and then cleared again. But none of the those hosts has received or sent mail around that period! They are Debian Sarge stable and postfix. Nagios is 2.0rc2, the plugins are current as well. Any explanation for this? Any hint or help is appreciated. Dirk --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Do you grep through log files for problems? Stop!

[Nagios-users] Nagios mysql database loaded
As there was some interest in it, I've uploaded the first version of my Nagios database load scripts to www.nagiosexchange.org. Look for 'mysql database loader' under Addon/Misc. This is a pair of Perl scripts, with minimal documentation, that can load the Nagios config files and the Nagios log files into tables in a mysql database (it will also create the tables for you if you ask it to). Later versions will reduce the data to 3rd normal form, and do some additional post-processing and summarisation, but for now it just loads the data. Please feel free to try it out, comment, improve, etc. Hope they can prove useful to someone. Steve --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Do you grep through log files for problems?

[Nagios-users] RE: Reporting bits and pieces.
Dear Folks, Firstly some observations and corrections to my recent letters about Reporting. 1 Use of DBD::RAM to at one fell swoop download the Nagios all hosts/services report and stash it in an in-core table (prior to filtering with SELECT and saving in an RDBMS). DBD::RAM no longer builds. It has been replaced by DBD::AnyData. >From the README of DBD::AnyDATA: HISTORICAL NOTE: this module was formerly called DBD::RAM. Its name was changed because many people were unaware that the module supports file operations in addition to in-memory operations. See the Changes file for a description of changes since the last release of DBD::RAM. 2 Another way of accounting for outages (apart from daily log file parsing or using avail.cgi directly) may be with an event handler that inserts rows into a table with these columns HOST_NAME HOST_DOWN HOST_UP OUTAGE Since there are lot of good DB interfaces in various programming languages (Perl, Python, Ruby), this is pretty straight forward. I only recently became aware of the $HOSTDOWNTIME$ macro that allows one to filter outages that are in scheduled downtime. (At this low capability site, the event handler simply appends a row to a CSV file so that Excel can view/edit the data. While this is not great it allows manual update with COMMENT and CAUSE [via Excel] so it allows one in principal to combine problem analysis/resolution data with the outage). 3 Would anyone like to post their Reporting schemas ? and now back to our usual program .. Yours sincerely. --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Do you grep through log files for problems? Stop!

Re: [Nagios-users] NRPE and allowed_hosts after v.2.0
Hello taken from the READE Section Configuration Paragraph 2. "2) Add entries for the NRPE daemon to either your inetd or xinetd configuration files. Which one your use will depend on which superserver is installed on your system. Both methods are described below. NOTE: If you run nrpe under inetd or xinetd, the server_port and allowed_hosts variables in the nrpe configuration file are ignored." this quote was taken from the 2.3. Moshe Sharon
RE: [Nagios-users] Service definition with * and host-templates
The notification looks right to me.
A template can be valid hosts or services according to nagios, as long
as all required values for a host config are present in the template
config. If they are not all there, then the config is allowed as long
as it has a register = 0.
Your template called router has all required values. To make it so that
"router" does not send a PING notification, you would remove "router" as
the host_name for your router host template. (see below)

RE: [Nagios-users] Scheduling downtime for all services in a host?
I wrote a perl script that gets all the services for a host, and then uses the EXTERNAL_COMMAND corresponding to scheduling downtime to put hosts into a downtime. It outputs the entire command to the nagios.cmd file. -Lori From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, February 07, 2006 6:30 PM To: nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: RE: [Nagios-users] Scheduling downtime for all services in a host? I also thought that was the case, so I decided to try it. I declared a host with 2 services, PING and SSH, and I waited until Nagios ran its first checks to make sure that everything was up. Then I declared an hour of flexible downtime on the host, scheduled to start 5 minutes ago and to last for one hour. I did this using the CGIs. Once my command had been received, I turned off SSH (just SSH). I would expect that, since I had declared downtime, I would not be notified about the SSH failure. However, 10 minutes later I got an email telling me that SSH on the host was down.

Re: [Nagios-users] Notifications not coming through
Lee Fitz writes: "I had incorrectly edited the 'command_line' in the 'define command' for the email notification. The consequences of which are identical to your result. My guess is that if you look CLOSELY at the 'command_line' you will find something wrong - in my case I had a bare $ in the line." It turns out that this was not the problem -- misccommands.cfg had not changed since June. I did try changing the command to remove all variables, which didn't result in an email either. Thanks for the suggestion, though; it makes sense. The real problem was, somehow the /TMP directory permissions got hosed. Sendmail apparently uses that directory to compose the mail before sending it. Therefore, the notifications got logged in Nagios, because the command line got launched. But the message did not get sent, and nothing would appear in the mail log, because the command line failed. We knew there was more going on than Nagios failure, because when we tried rebooting the system, X11 wouldn't start. Fortunately I had a Linux mage helping me and we eventually tracked it down. -JoAnne -- JoAnne Schmitz Publishing Systems Supervisor The Baltimore Sun desk 410 468 2658 cell 443 829 2855 --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

[Nagios-users] Scheduling downtime for all services in a host?
Dear fellow Nagios users, Is there a way for me to schedule downtime automatically for all services on a host? For reference, I'm using version 2.0rc2. When I look at the commands that I can run for a host containing 2+ services, I see a link to schedule downtime for a host, but not for all of the services associated with that host. However, if I look at the commands for a hostgroup or a servicegroup, I see that I can schedule downtime for all hosts or services in a hostgroup/servicegroup. However, I do not want to schedule downtime for all hosts in a hostgroup, just one host. And I do not have any service groups. I did some searching of previous posts, and I have not been able to find anything helpful. At this point it looks like the only way for me to declare downtime for all services by executing one command would be to create one servicegroup for each host in my configuration. Does anyone have any more information on this? Thanks in advance! -- A. Karl Kornel Mindspeed Technologies, Inc. [EMAIL PROTECTED] (949) 579-3503

[Nagios-users] More on nagios performance data (or the lack of it)
Right, I did send the nagios performance data to a file and wrote a perlscript to count the events recorded and calculate the average time between events recorded. #!/usr/bin/perl my $filename="/var/log/nagios/service-perfdata.out"; open(FILE, "<$filename"); while ($line =) { chomp($line); @fields = split(/\t/,$line); $timestamp = @fields[0]; $host = @fields[1]; $service = @fields[2]; $count{$host}{$service}++; if ( $min{$host}{$service} ) { if ( $min{$host}{$service} > $timestamp ) { $min{$host}{$service} = $timestamp; } } else { $min{$host}{$service} = $timestamp; } if ( $max{$host}{$service} < $timestamp ) { $max{$host}{$service} = $timestamp; } } close(FILE); if (keys %count) { foreach $host (sort keys %count) { if (keys %{$count{$host}}) { foreach $service (sort keys %{$count{$host}}) { $time = $max{$host}{$service} - $min{$host}{$service}; $average = $time / ($count{$host}{$service} - 1); print "$host\t$service\t= $average\n"; } } } } The results should average the time between events per service per host. But the results are not at all what they should be. For example: aleph DNS = 3599.01728395062 aleph HTTP-lugww.counter.li.org = 3616.66749379653 aleph PING= 179.218954248366 aleph SMTP= 3599.01481481481 aleph SSH = 3616.65756823821 anfalas Internet= 1040.43540328337 anfalas InternetV6 = 1040.33618843683 anfalas PING= 176.439102564103 anfalas SSH = 3616.69975186104 As each service is supposed to be checked every 3 minutes the average should be 180. As the test period may cause some deviation I can understand anything ~10 seconds off. But many of the services do not seem to report their performance data on each poll. Is there a way to find out why nagios is not generating the performancce data as I expect it to? Short reminder: Nagios v2.0 RC2 Hugo. -- I hate duplicates. Just reply to the relevant mailinglist.

Re: [Nagios-users] Notifications not coming through
Hi
I was having a very similar problem about 1 week ago
I had incorrectly edited the 'command_line' in the 'define command'
for the email notification. The consequences of which are identical
to your result. My guess is that if you look CLOSELY at the 'command_lin
e' you will find something wrong - in my case I had a bare $ in
the line.
Anyway, an easy way to verify operation of you cmd line is to copy
and edit it and then try to execute it in a shell - Im betting
it wont work - AND I have NOT found anywhere in Nagios where there
is any error info about the cmd not being parsed correctly
Example
define command{
command_namenotify-by-email
command_line/usr/bin/printf "%b" "$SERVICEOUTPUT$ $HOSTNAME$
$SHORTDATETIME$" | mail -s "" $CONTACTEMAIL$
}
so copy -/usr/bin/printf "%b" "$SERVICEOUTPUT$ $HOSTNAME$ $SHORTDATETIME$
" | mail -s "" $CONTACTEMAIL$- out - edit in real values and execute
it -

The user has to confirm the anti-spam system to work for his email.

That is why I use gmail, even been a UOL employee, to hold all my lists inscriptions. But i've subscribe my work email only to send messages to the list, because they filter outgoing email via other smtp, like gmail's.

Re: [Nagios-users] NSCA messages
I would actually be willing to except this as an answer
here is the script I am using for submit_check_results
#!/bin/sh
# Arguments:
# $1 = host_name (Short name of the host that the service is associated
with)
# $2 = svc_description (Description of the service)
# $3 = state_string (A string respresenting the status of the given
service - "OK", "WARNING", "CRITICAL" OR "UNKNOWN")
# $4 = plugin_output (A text string that should be used as the plugin
output for the service check)
#
#
#
#
# Convert the state string to the corresponding return code
return_code=-1
case "$3" in
OK)
return_code=0
;;
WARNING)
return_code=1
;;
CRITICAL)
return_code=2
;;
UNKNOWN)
return_code=-1
;;
esac
# pipe the service check info into the send_nsca program, which in turn
transmits the data to the nsca deamon on the central
# monitoring server
/usr/bin/printf "%s\t%s\t%s\t%s\n" "$1" "$2" "$return_code" "$4" |
/usr/local/nagios/bin/send_nsca XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX -p -c
/usr/local/nagios/etc/send_nsca.cfg
my command def is
define command{
command_namesubmit_check_result
command_line
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/eventhandlers/submit_check_result $HOSTNAME$
'$SERVICEDESC$' $SERVICESTATE$ '$OUTPUT$'
}
Identical to the sample script in the 2.0 doco and the sample command
definition i really just customized the ip and port

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios Behaviors
Kai Reese wrote: Hey. Maybe I'm missing the scope of things, but where are repetetive iterations of PING a problem when you work with templates? I'm working in a much smaller scope here than Mark and I've wondered about repetetive service-entries as well, but I've come to the conclusion that by using templates I can avoid most of the problems that these multiple entries create, even more so when -as I understand is your problem- the only thing that changes are the contacts. I would however see problems with an overhaul of the way things are addressed at this moment for matters of portability and upgradability. I would imagine the hassle of defining 25*10 services is less than migrating all your hosts and service-definitions to a new setup/layout. Well, my thought was not to eliminate contacts from the services definition, but rather make it optional and pass the contact info from the host definition. This way I can create a single service for all or a large chunk of hosts with different contacts. If for some reason I want to exclude a user from a specific service on which they are a contact for the host, I would then override the inheritance from the host definition to use a specific contact or contact group. I don't have any particular need to do this so it seems a bit redundant to me to have to specify it within my service configuration which also causes me to configure the same service checks depending upon who should have access to them. Also, at this very moment, I'm wondering if services maybe support the 'contact' entries, since they also do work with the (undocumented) hostgroup_name entries. Wouldn't that solve most of your problems? Did I misunderstand your problem at some point or is what I just wondered exactly the solution you were asking to be implemented? Kai I wouldn't say it's a problem since I can work around it, but rather a question as to why the implementation would not allow for this. Is there a downside to making the contacts an inherited feature from the host and having the contact option within the service definition become optional rather than mandatory? Todd On 2/7/06, Todd Barbera <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hi Mark, I too had submitted an e-mail asking if passing the host properties along to the services would have some detrimental impact, but I didn't receive a reply. I agree that it would certainly make the services.cfg file much simpler to maintain if you didn't have to set up multiple services in order to create different views for various user groups. For instance, all my hosts are setup for PING. If I want notifications sent out to specific users for specific hosts, I have to have multiple iterations of PING in my services.cfg file. If I try to add all contacts to PING, then the see every host in the interface. This is not desirable since I only want them to see the hosts and services for which they have a stake in.

I am currently running Nagios 2.0rc2 with 451 hosts and 1733 services. I've recently upgraded from Netsaint (0.78b I think). During this upgrade I took the time to reexamine my configurations to take advantage of the grouping logic and regular expression features in Nagios. This help make the setup much easier, faster, and more consistent than it ever was under Netsaint. Kudos! All of the following assumes that I'm doing things to the best of my understanding, and if they are incorrect or misguided in some way, I'd be more than happy to discuss the 'correct' way of implementing these features. I'm starting to run into a few operational issues that I'd like to raise. One of the most annoying is that RECOVERY should actually have a state for EACH type of RECOVERY that can exist. That way, I'm not getting RECOVERY notices for WARNINGS that I didn't get in the first place (because I don't care about WARNINGS in most cases.). I should only ever get RECOVERY for states which I've already indicated I want to receive their corresponding original alert from. The other is that HOST level notification/check_periods should be inherited by any service being check on that HOST unless explicitly overridden. For example, I have a host with 10 services on it (checking disk space in various file systems, checking for certain named processes to be running) and it has a HOST level notification_period (maintenance window) from Saturday at 1800 till Sunday 1000. Every week. I don't want to, or need to know about service changes during these times. I'm the user, and I'm requesting a

I've verified that utils.pm does exist in the /usr/lib/nagios/plugins directory and tried copying it to one of the @INC directories (/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6/i386-linux-thread-multi ) but it still doesn't seem to work. Here is the error message: **ePN failed to compile /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_disk_smb: "Can't locate utils.pm in @INC (@INC contains: nagios/plugins /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.4/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.3" at /usr/sbin/p1.pl line Thanks, Chad --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Re: [Nagios-users] NSCA Wierdness?
Steve, Yes I am certain I defined the host. I think the issue was caused because I basically did a cut and paste from the host file on the distributed server to the central server. I remarked out the ip of the box IVAN (as well as many others) in the host file afterward and I think these messages went away. Also I disabled host checking on the central box because none of the monitored hosts are accessable on the local network. I am not sure this was the correct way to get rid of this warning but I am still working on it. :) Thanks Brady Steve Shipway wrote: [1139251531] EXTERNAL COMMAND: PROCESS_HOST_CHECK_RESULT;IVAN;0;0 [1139251531] Warning: Passive check result was received for host 'IVAN', but the host could not be found! This message means that Nagios cannot find a host called 'IVAN' in the definitions. Are you 100% sure you have defined this host, on the server which is receiving the NSCA alerts and producing this log (the central server)? Have you defined it in all upper case, like the NSCA alert is being received? It's case sensitive, remember. Nagios will not automatically define a host just because it is defined on a downstream server, so you have to define it on both servers. Steve --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios Behaviors
Hey. Maybe I'm missing the scope of things, but where are repetetive iterations of PING a problem when you work with templates? I'm working in a much smaller scope here than Mark and I've wondered about repetetive service-entries as well, but I've come to the conclusion that by using templates I can avoid most of the problems that these multiple entries create, even more so when -as I understand is your problem- the only thing that changes are the contacts. I would however see problems with an overhaul of the way things are addressed at this moment for matters of portability and upgradability. I would imagine the hassle of defining 25*10 services is less than migrating all your hosts and service-definitions to a new setup/layout. Also, at this very moment, I'm wondering if services maybe support the 'contact' entries, since they also do work with the (undocumented) hostgroup_name entries. Wouldn't that solve most of your problems? Did I misunderstand your problem at some point or is what I just wondered exactly the solution you were asking to be implemented?

Title: Message Hi Mark, I too had submitted an e-mail asking if passing the host properties along to the services would have some detrimental impact, but I didn’t receive a reply. I agree that it would certainly make the services.cfg file much simpler to maintain if you didn’t have to set up multiple services in order to create different views for various user groups. For instance, all my hosts are setup for PING. If I want notifications sent out to specific users for specific hosts, I have to have multiple iterations of PING in my services.cfg file. If I try to add all contacts to PING, then the see every host in the interface. This is not desirable since I only want them to see the hosts and services for which they have a stake in. I think this is a greater design question that may be best answered by Ethan, but if anyone else has thoughts on the matter I’d be happy to hear the response. Best regards, Todd -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Garringer, Mark Sent: Monday, February 06, 2006 9:07 PM To: 'Nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net' Subject: [Nagios-users] Nagios Behaviors This may be rather long, please bare with me. I am currently running Nagios 2.0rc2 with 451 hosts and 1733 services. I've recently upgraded from Netsaint (0.78b I think). During this upgrade I took the time to reexamine my configurations to take advantage of the grouping logic and regular _expression_ features in Nagios. This help make the setup much easier, faster, and more consistent than it ever was under Netsaint. Kudos! All of the following assumes that I'm doing things to the best of my understanding, and if they are incorrect or misguided in some way, I'd be more than happy to discuss the 'correct' way of implementing these features. I'm starting to run into a few operational issues that I'd like to raise. One of the most annoying is that RECOVERY should actually have a state for EACH type of RECOVERY that can exist. That way, I'm not getting RECOVERY notices for WARNINGS that I didn't get in the first place (because I don't care about WARNINGS in most cases.). I should only ever get RECOVERY for states which I've already indicated I want to receive their corresponding original alert from. The other is that HOST level notification/check_periods should be inherited by any service being check on that HOST unless explicitly overridden. For example, I have a host with 10 services on it (checking disk space in various file systems, checking for certain named processes to be running) and it has a HOST level notification_period (maintenance window) from Saturday at 1800 till Sunday 1000. Every week. I don't want to, or need to know about service changes during these times. I'm the user, and I'm requesting a black out of notifications during this time. If there are (still) problems after 1000 on Sunday, I do need to know about them or take action. The best answers I can seem to find seem to be workarounds that will cause me more overall upkeep and/or are counter to the whole idea of using grouping logic to begin with. Creating a separate, non-dynamic cron offshoot to take care of this for me while functional requires me to basically go and define another list of items (and upkeep them) to deal with and is completely external to Nagios. Defining each service individually so that they all can have 1 host assigned to them so they can have different maintenance windows as needed is totally against the grouping logic and allows again for much easier divergence from a set standard. Having 25 linux machines all in a linux host group because I want to check 10 common services rocks. However, not all 25 servers will have the same (or even overlapping) maintenance windows, so creating 25*10 separate service entries instead of just 10 sucks eggs. Maintaining the maintenance window at the host level makes perfect sense to me. Creating more host groups doesn't seem like any better of a solution and will just make things more difficult to find under the Hostgroup sections of the web display. By not understanding something am I trying to use this in a way which it was never intended? This seem like a pretty logical feature to me, of course. Can anyone offer me advice? Thanks!
