[Nagios-users] nrpe arguments

2006-03-09 Thread Toto Capuccino
Hi,I want to launch event hancler on a remote windows host. The active nagios checks are checking exchange IS, MTA and SA and i want services to be restarted if they stop.Event handlers are enabled.I see in eventlog [09-03-2006 10:43:28] SERVICE EVENT HANDLER: ussfrsv02;Exchange 
IS;CRITICAL;SOFT;3;restart_exchangeI put a service eventhandler in nagios 
services.cfg fileevent_handler restart_exchangeand put a definition in miscommands.cfg fileEvent-Handlers#define command { command_name restart_exchange


 command_line $USER1$/check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -c restart_exchange $SERVICESTATE$ $STATETYPE$ $SERVICEATTEMPT$ }I am wondering if the concept is ok. On the windows side the nrpe.cfg file got a definition for restart_exchange:
# Values: 0=do not allow arguments, 1=allow command argumentsdont_blame_nrpe=1command[restart_exchange]=C:\nrpe\bin\RestartExchangeServices.cmd $ARG1$ $ARG2$ $ARG3$
And my RestartExchangeServices.cmd file contains this and at least it works in command line@ECHO offIF %1 == 'HARD' GOTO :1 ELSE GOTO :999:1IF %2 == 'SOFT' GOTO :2 ELSE GOTO :999:2
IF %3 == '3' GOTO :3:3 net start MSExchangeISnet start MSExchangeMTAnet start MSExchangeSAECHO Services Exchange IS, MTA ans SA have been startedREM EXIT exitCode 0GOTO :999
I commented the Exitcode because it dont see the need for eventhandler.Anyway it is not working at all :( I would greatly appreciate some thoughts, comments, help or solutions.-- Le bon sens est la chose du monde la mieux partagée.




[Nagios-users] defunct process / more than one nagios root process...

2006-03-09 Thread Johan Corsini
Hello everyone.

I am facing problems for a few days with my Nagios server (2.0b4).
I often have more than one nagios root process (launched by the root 
process), and sometimes have a defunct nagios process.  

It is really anoying, as it can leads to Nagios not working any more, or, at 
best, only doing half of the checks it should perform,... 
Often, it also stops recording the results of the checks, or forget latest 
informations after a restart, rolling back to the status data of hours ago.

I don't remember doing any big change lately, so I can't find why I am facing 
all those problems right now... 

Does any of you know what can cause those defunct processes, or the multiple 
nagios root processes?  Or best do you know how I could avoid it :)

Thanks a lot for your help,

Johan.

Re: [Nagios-users] Problems with RPM install

2006-03-09 Thread Jim Perrin
 Better go for Binary installation and it will be good in working
 without error and you can install in few setps.



 unzip
 ./configure

 ./make

 ./make install

I'm not sure what you're definition of binary is, but what you just
described isn't it. That's building from source to install. In some
shops where rpm based distros are mandated, this is a no-no. Your
method doesn't allow for any system-wide software auditing system to
know what is installed. Also, your command above will fail because it
looks for the 'make' command in the current directory where it won't
be. For rpm based systems, it's best to work with the tools of the
system and use rpms. In doing that you have to know how to salt the
general provided directions to taste. There are guides for working
with nagios rpms out there. Basically, understand the theory behind
the directions, and the platform becomes irrelevant.


 and you can see installation way when you unzip tar file.

Nope, you can see the source files. The only binaries in the nagios
tarball are the images.

Hold on. This one is configured to send notifications every 90 minutes
(assuming 60 seconds is the default time measurement) But it should only
trigger after 6 * 90 = 540 minutes (9 hours). But it should stop at 0
notifications which, I think, is not valid.

If you remove the escalation do you get alerts to the escalation group(s)
as well?

Please provide relevant details like host + service definitions, nagios

Nagios is first-and-foremost a service monitor. With few exceptions*,
host checks are never executed unless a service on that host returns a
non-OK state. You need to have at least one service defined per host if
you want it to be checked regularly. That service could be just another
ping check. As to why some show OK and others show PENDING, I would
speculate that they are listed as the parent for a device that has
failed in the past. Nagios will check the host status of parents to
determine if a child is down or unreachable due to higher level outages.

* Starting with Nagios 2.0 you _can_ have regularly scheduled host
checks but they affect performance and are discouraged. The parent
checks are another case where a host check may be executed without a
failure of a service on the device.

We do not care what your client machine is. But we do care about your
definitions in nagios config files. You have not shown a bit of that
config so there is still very little to go on.

[Nagios-users] escalation procedures?

Hello,  I was wondering if it was possible to configure Nagios in a way that if it detects something going down or unreachable, it sends an email to one person, but if it detects it again on the 2nd time, it sends an email to a different person? Kind of like escalation procedures.
I tried looking in the manual but could not find anything of that nature.Would anyone happen to know?Thanks for any assistance.Tom Cruickshank


[Nagios-users] Providing configuration Reports

2006-03-09 Thread nuffers

I'm looking for a way to send reports
on what is currently being monitored to different functional areas. I
currently have subdirectories for each of the functional areas. Each
has their own hosts.cfg, hostgroups.cfg, services.cfg etc. Not
all individuals receiving the reports will have access to Nagios.

I would like to pull it directly from
Nagios but I don't currently see a way that will provide that.

The report would be in column format.

Typehost_name
   alias
   address
hostmyhostname
  myhostnamexxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

Does anyone have a script/programs that
would assist with this from the command line?

There is a patch at

allows users to view items, but not issue any changes. It seems to
work rather well. Hopefully it or something like it will make it in

[Nagios-users] Nagios doesn't send mail!

2006-03-09 Thread gmourani
Hello list,

I'm using nagios 1.2 and it's working fine except the fact that it doens't
send mail when servicegoes down! I can see on the web interface that the
service is down (red) but I don't get emailed on my phone or email
address.

The mail program is working on the server, I can use command like
sendmail [EMAIL PROTECTED]  /tmp/testmail.txt and receive the email, I
can also use /bin/mail -s to send mail via the terminal and I receive it,
therefore /bin/mail and /usr/sbin/sendmail work. I know that Nagios use
/bin/mail to send alert because that is what is used and configured inside
the misscommand.cfg file. So I don't understand why Nagios doesn't alert
me when hosts or service goes down.

Somebody has an idea? Thanks.

Gerhard,

RE: [Nagios-users] Nagios doesn't send mail!

2006-03-09 Thread gmourani
Hello Frank,

 Do you seeing it trying to send a notification in the log file?
No, the log file (nagios.log) doesn't show any notification, I can see
other info like service alert but nothing about email send notification.

 Perhaps you've configured it not to send emails.
How/where can I check for this?

Gerhard,

 Subject: [Nagios-users] Nagios doesn't send mail!

 Hello list,

 I'm using nagios 1.2 and it's working fine except the fact that it
 doens't send mail when servicegoes down! I can see on the web interface
 that the service is down (red) but I don't get emailed on my phone or
 email address.

 The mail program is working on the server, I can use command like
 sendmail [EMAIL PROTECTED]  /tmp/testmail.txt and receive the email, I
 can also use /bin/mail -s to send mail via the terminal and I receive
 it, therefore /bin/mail and /usr/sbin/sendmail work. I know that Nagios
 use /bin/mail to send alert because that is what is used and configured
 inside the misscommand.cfg file. So I don't understand why Nagios
 doesn't alert me when hosts or service goes down.

 Somebody has an idea? Thanks.

 Gerhard,

Thanks for the reply, but how am I supposed to know this?  The setup

Is this outdated documentation that I'm following?

 You should not have added these lines to httpd.conf. Beacause you allready
 have a valid new config part in ../conf.d/nagios.conf

 Please familiarize yourself a bit more with the config setup of your
 apache installation and read the other config files in conf.d as well to

RE: [Nagios-users] Nagios 2.0 and cgi

2006-03-09 Thread Marc Powell
cgi's being missing is different than an Apache Internal Server Error.
Nagios was not able to automagically locate the required libraries you
correctly noted below at compile time. They're probably located in
non-standard locations. You'll need to pass the following flags to
./configure --

--with-gd-lib=DIR sets location of the gd library
--with-gd-inc=DIR sets location of the gd include files

 You can secure it within apache. I just use the following in my

 Files cmd.cgi
 Require user nagios
 /Files
 
 Hope that helps you.


This is incorrect information. The level of granularity requested is not
possible with apache security or within Nagios itself. It's all or
nothing unfortunately unless you edit the source to include that
functionality.

The document is written for the source install, the primary method of
installation. RPM installs can vary widely and any package specific
changes made should be documented by the package maintainer. Ethan does
not directly manage, maintain or host RPM installations of Nagios.

[Nagios-users] Multiple notifications for Host DOWN

2006-03-09 Thread Richard Hobbs
Hello,

If I am monitoring several services on a host, and the host goes DOWN, will
I get a single notification stating that the host is down, or will I get
several alerts (one for the host and one for each service)?

If this is a configurable setting, could you let me know which option I need
to change in the config files?

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help! :-)

First section of

will suppress notification for services on DOWN or UNREACHABLE hosts.

 
 If this is a configurable setting, could you let me know which option

I don't use host checks myself but I believe that this is not

[Nagios-users] Sms message

2006-03-09 Thread Daniel Tran
I have a scenario like this:

Currently we are monitoring devices and send notification as an email
message.

I understand that you can send text messages to cell phone by sending an
email such as (phone number)@vtext.com.

If the main internet connection is down, we want to be able to send the
message via a modem connection.  I guess at this point, the modem needs
to dial up to some sort of sms gateway and send out the string of text.

Are  there anything like this?
Does any cell phone provider (eg: tmobile, verizon...) has this support.

Thanks
Daniel

[Nagios-users] event_handlers macro contactemail

2006-03-09 Thread Carlos de Sousa

Hi!

I am in real need for having access to the $CONTACTx$ macros in my
eventhandlers. I am running Nagios V2.

Would I get it to work if I did the following?


define command {
command_name   send_snmptrap_host
command_line   /usr/bin/perl 
$USER1$/eventhandlers/send_nagiostrap $ARG1$ $ARG2$


}

define host {
 name   NOC-MAIN

 event_handler_enabled  1  ; Host event handler is enabled 



 register   0  ; DONT REGISTER THIS DEFINITION

 notifications_enabled  0
 event_handler 
send_snmptrap_host!$CONTACTEMAIL$!$CONTACTPAGER$

 contact_groups NOC
}

define host {
 use   NOC-MAIN
 host_name host1
 alias my host1
 address   xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
 check_command check-host-alive
}

Any other suggestion?

would it work if I put the event_handler keyword in the host
definition for the host instead of in a template?

I have seen the mailing list archives, and there are other
people that have asked for the same thing, but they where
running Nagios V1 I think, so I wonder if this is duable
for Nagios V2.

Really greatfull for a solution, and no, I am not going to use the
CONTACTEMAIL information to send out notifications from my event handler.

Regards
Carlos

[Nagios-users] help please - SNMP

2006-03-09 Thread Robert Stewart








Im new to setting up SNMP on nagios.

I need some pointers.

I have downloaded the mibs that I need but I have never
installed them on Suse 10 for nagios 2.0.

Could you all tell me how I would get the mibs in place to
be used by the ./check_snmp command.



Could you all send me an example of the ./check_snmp command
that you all use



Thank you

 I have a scenario like this:
 
 Currently we are monitoring devices and send notification as an email
 message.
 
 I understand that you can send text messages to cell phone by sending
an
 email such as (phone number)@vtext.com.
 
 If the main internet connection is down, we want to be able to send
the
 message via a modem connection.  I guess at this point, the modem
needs
 to dial up to some sort of sms gateway and send out the string of
text.
 
 Are  there anything like this?
 Does any cell phone provider (eg: tmobile, verizon...) has this
support.

Yes, there's are specific FAQ entries on sending SMS messages and lots
of discussion in the list archives. Search for SMS in those resources.
Basically you configure an SMS sending program (yaps, sms-client, etc)
and set it as your notification command.

 Hi!
 
 I am in real need for having access to the $CONTACTx$ macros in my
 eventhandlers. I am running Nagios V2.
 
 Would I get it to work if I did the following?
 
 
 define command {
  command_name   send_snmptrap_host

No, the $CONTACT*$ macros are not available to event handlers. See the
chart at --

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/macros.html


 Any other suggestion?

Why not make a contact whose notification command runs
send_nagiostrap_host and associate them with that host? You could also
build in logic into send_nagiostrap_host to gather that information from
some other source or the nagios config files themselves if the contact
route isn't acceptable to you.

 
 would it work if I put the event_handler keyword in the host
 definition for the host instead of in a template?

No, they're just not available to the event_handler subsystem at all.

Re: [Nagios-users] help please - SNMP

2006-03-09 Thread Eli Stair


ACK

I think those all came through OK.

Check the docs for {net|ucd}-snmp, and the help for check_snmp.*  For 
instance, find out what version of what plugin you're using, what 
mechanism it uses to read the MIB and access SNMP (bash/perl exec of the 
binaries, perl module, direct binary implementation compiled-in, etc).


Sounds also like you'll want to determine what it is you actually want 
to poll via SNMP, and whether it's a static value (temp/PS/FAN/link 
state) or time-dependent (network traffic, IOps/sec, etc).


If you don't have those questions answered, you might want to start with 
installing your MIBs in the net-snmp search path (try the net-snmp FAQ ; 
'export MIBS=all'), and saving the output to peruse vs. the MIB while 
you're reading it.  In the situation it sounds like you want, you'll 
have to understand not just Nagios but SNMP as well.

[Nagios-users] Modifying the TAC.cgi file

I was wondering how I would go about modifying the tac.cgi

[Nagios-users] Data File Storage

2006-03-09 Thread Richard Hobbs
Hello,

Assuming I have not changed any default paths, where would the Nagios data
files be held?

Basically, I'm looking to add directories into our backup, and so far I've
just included /usr/local/nagios/. Should I include anywhere else, or is
the historical data kept in this directory as well?

Thanks in advance,
Richard.

tac.cgi is built from cgi/tac.c. If you just need to import an image
from some other system, then edit the file and modify the HTML
portion to do the IMG SRC in the desired location. What you want
is probably in the display_tac_overview function.  Edit that
then recompile.

If you want Nagios to create that BW monitoring image for
you,well, that is a much larger task.

If you've installed from source, that will be sufficient. To be sure,
look at the values for cfg_file, log_file, status_file, comment_file,
downtime_file and log_archive_path in nagios.cfg.

Re: [Nagios-users] event_handlers macro contactemail

2006-03-09 Thread Carlos de Sousa

Hi!

Thanx for the prompt answer, I realize now that
I shouldn't try to fool the system by using obscure
ways.

BUT .

   If I use the suggested contact-path, could u
pls explain what is the major difference between
a notification and an event?

If I already have in production  a event-handler
script that works fine (except for not using the CONTACTx stuff),
would I then disable event_handler processing completely
and use the contactgroup in a host definition to use a contact
that would call the same script as I am using for events?

The example I gave before is somewhat shortened, here is what
I really use

define command {
command_name   send_snmptrap_host
command_line   /usr/bin/perl
$USER1$/eventhandlers/send_nagiostrap HOST $HOSTSTATE$ $HOSTSTATETYPE$
$HOSTATTEMPT$ $HOSTNAME$#$HOSTADDRESS$#$HOSTALIAS$#$SERVICEDESC$#$USER2$
}

Would I still be able to use the above macros through a notification
command?
Would the macros above contain the exact same information if I used
them in a notification command rather than in a event_handler?

So basically, If I understood u right, u say that I could do

define host {
  name   NOC-MAIN

  event_handler_enabled  0
  register   0
  notifications_enabled  1
  contact_groups NOC_TRAP
}

define host {
 name  host1
 use   NOC-MAIN
 alias my host1
 address   xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
 check_command check-host-alive
}

define contactgroup {
contactgroup_name  NOC_TRAP
alias  noc trap contact
membersnoc_trap
}


define contact {
   contact_name   noc_trap
   alias  contact for running traps
   service_notification_period24x7
   host_notification_period   24x7
   service_notification_options   w,u,c,r
   host_notification_options  d,u,r
   service_notification_commands  send_snmptrap_svc
   host_notification_commands send_snmptrap_host
   email  [EMAIL PROTECTED]
   pager  some number
   address1   text1
   #address2   Network Security
   #address3   Network Security
   #address4   Network Security
   #address5   Network Security
   #address6   Network Security
}

would I loose any functionality at all by not using eventhandlers
in favor of notification commands?


would appreciate your help

Regards
Carlos de Sousa

Using nagios 2.0




There is a patch at

allows users to view items, but not issue any changes. It seems to
work rather well. Hopefully it or something like it will make it in
the next 2.x update. It looks much nicer than the .htaccess denial
from a user perspective. See the 26 Feb article here
http://altinity.blogs.com/dotorg/nagios/index.html


Jim, glad you like the patch. Ethan has committed it into Nagios 3.x,  
but has not chosen to put it into the 2.x branch. Make sure you let  
Ethan know if it should be in - if there's a lot of users, then I'm  
sure he'll reconsider.


I'll try and make sure it always applies cleanly to 2.x.

However, Alan's request won't work with this patch. He wants a user  
to be able to acknowledge an alert (which would involve submitting a  
command) but not disable services/hosts (which is submitting a  
different command). The patch only says whether a user can submit or  
not. There's no granularity in the types of commands in Nagios yet.

[Nagios-users] Authentication Issues

2006-03-09 Thread Jody Noscov

Hi There,

I have been having problems with authenticating my nagiosadmin user. It 
keeps prompting me. I have gone through the documentation over and over and 
did a complete reinstall of RedHat(8), just in case. I have a fresh new 
install of nagios, but am still recieving the prompt.

I checked the error file and recieved this:
[Fri Mar 10 10:06:38 2006] [error] [client 192.168.49.5] (13)Permission 
denied: Could not open password file: /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users
[Fri Mar 10 10:06:38 2006] [error] [client 192.168.49.5] user nagiosadmin 
not found: /nagios
The only thing I have changed this time around is the folder in which the 
nagios user owns. It was the owner of /home/nagios even though i followed 
the documentation and used the 'chown nagios.nagios /usr/local/nagios' 
command.
I have also re added the nagiosadmin user again using 'htpasswd -c 
/usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users nagiosadmin' command.


Also have added the following snippet to the httpd.conf file:

ScriptAlias /nagios/cgi-bin /usr/local/nagios/sbin

Directory /usr/local/nagios/sbin
   Options ExecCGI
   AllowOverride None
   Order allow,deny
   Allow from all
   AuthName Nagios Access
   AuthType Basic
   AuthUserFile /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users
   Require valid-user
/Directory

Alias /nagios /usr/local/nagios/share

Directory /usr/local/nagios/share
   Options None
   AllowOverride None
   Order allow,deny
   Allow from all
   AuthName Nagios Access
   AuthType Basic
   AuthUserFile /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users
   Require valid-user
/Directory

I am still recieving this error. (BAH!)

 Subject: [Nagios-users] Authentication Issues
 
 Hi There,
 
 I have been having problems with authenticating my nagiosadmin user.
It
 keeps prompting me. I have gone through the documentation over and
over
 and
 did a complete reinstall of RedHat(8), just in case. I have a fresh
new
 install of nagios, but am still recieving the prompt.
 I checked the error file and recieved this:
 [Fri Mar 10 10:06:38 2006] [error] [client 192.168.49.5]
(13)Permission
 denied: Could not open password file:
/usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users

^^

Apache can not read this file either due to filesystem permissions on
the file itself or directories above it. The file isn't being accessed
by nagios but rather the user that apache is running as (apache?
nobody?). You will need to allow sufficient permissions for apache to be
able to read the file.

If you do not know how to do that, post back the following -

ls -l /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users
ls -l /usr/local | grep nagios
ls -l /usr | grep local
grep ^User /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
grep something /etc/group (where something is the what follows User in
the last grep (i.e. apache or nobody))

 This is what I have
 
 [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# ls -l /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users
 -rw---1 root root   26 Mar 10 09:57
 /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users

[chop]

 [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# grep apache /etc/group
 apache:x:48:nagios
 nagcmd:x:501:apache,nagios

htpasswd.users is only readable by root. To fix, run as root --

chmod 640 /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users
chown nagios:nagcmd /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users

When you add new users or edit the file, do so as the nagios user or
verify permissions afterward.
