Re: [Nagios-users] Scalable Configuration Strategies?
Good question, good thinking.
I think you are on the right track with the separate files/directories,
however if you have over 1,000 servers i think there may be other overheads
involved in parsing 1,000 or more individual files on startup, but that can
be checked later.
I would go for individual host definitions per host including all of the
services that it runs, that way you can easily script something to write
out config files per server from a data source such as CSV. For example:
host,servce1,service2,serviceN...
host1.example.com,ssh,ping,http,https,someservice,someotherservice
Which writes out a config like
-- start --
define host {
use tmpl_host
host_name host1.example.com
alias Some Server
address 1.1.1.1
hostgroups foobar
contact_groups admins
}
define service {
use tmpl_check_ssh
service_description SSH Checks
check_command check_ssh
host_name host1.example.com
contact_groups admins
}
rest of services ...
-- end --
Maybe that would work?
I'm looking at a similar solution to monitor 9,000 or so Blade servers..
fun times!

Subject:[Nagios-users] Scalable Configuration Strategies?
Hi,
My colleague and I are in the process of giving our bloated,
all-in-one-file Nagios configuration a re-haul. It was getting unwieldy
and error prone searching through the config file to add/modify hosts
and services. So I am emailing the list to get opinions and see what
other people do in their environments.
Initial Idea:
-
We have a multi-department Nagios server, eg. Network Admins, Windows
Admins and Unix Admins all use the same server. Currently every
department has their own file, eg. unix-hosts.cfg, network-elements.cfg,
etc. containing host definitions, hostgroups, service definitions all in
one file.
So we have decided to try out the cfg_dir statement in nagios.cfg as
the basis for our new configuration. Our initial layout could be:
/etc/nagios - The main config files eg. nagios.cfg, resource.cfg,
contacts.cfg, timeperiods.cfg, template.cfg. These files would only be
editable by the system administrator of the Nagios box.
/etc/nagios/unix-admin - Within here would be the config files for each
department. The directory and the files/dirs therein would be writeable
by the unix-admin group. We are thinking of organising it like:
/etc/nagios/unix-admin/checkcommands.cfg
/etc/nagios/unix-admin/contactgroups.cfg
/etc/nagios/unix-admin/hostgroups.cfg
/etc/nagios/unix-admin/hosts/host1.example.com.cfg
/etc/nagios/unix-admin/hosts/host2.example.com.cfg
/etc/nagios/unix-admin/hosts/host3.example.com.cfg
.
The other departments would have a similar tree structure and
permissions allowing them to modify their configurations.
Potential Issues:
-
The main problem is what to do with common services; do we create
(Option 1) a, for example, ssh.cfg that lists all the hosts (or host
groups) that use SSH? Or (Option 2) do we add the SSH check into each
hosts config file seperately?
Option 1 pro - Easy to add new common service.
Option 1 cons - Must know in advance which services are common so as to
edit the correct file (either hostXX.example.com.cfg or ssh.cfg) config.
Will not always be clear. There are always exceptions.
Option 2 pro - Simple to configure, consistent.
Option 2 cons - Mass adding a service to many hosts will require
scripting or much time.
I am inclined to go with option 2 for simplicity's sake.
Any comments or improvements or just what works for you will be
appreciated!
Thanks,
Fred.

[Nagios-users] Definition of downtime
I've just installed Nagios (first time re-using it in a year or so) and a real event occurred; I'm trying to work out the timings. It looks like the availability report calculates downtime as the time between the first hard failure and the first success, whereas I'd define it as the time between the first soft failure that resulted in hard failure, and first success ... indeed, as this was a router going down, I'd say that downtime was the time between the first soft failure of the child service, and the first success of the parent host. Is this all explained or discussed somewhere? In more detail; I have an unreliable router in front of a host, and a number of services on the host. A host service check soft failed at time t, and was then rechecked repeatedly until a hard failure was imminent at time t+18. At t+19 the router was checked, and produced a soft failure, and these repeated until t+38, where a hard failure was declared for both; router DOWN and host UNREACHABLE. Eventually a check succeeded at time t+n. The availability report for these machines now shows outage of (t+38 to t+n); but in this case I think it should be (t+1 to t+n); or at least (t+19 to t+n). Can someone help me figure out why Nagios prefers the more conservative definition? Related to this, I'd like to know the times of the last successful tests, but I can't find that for historical events, only for current ones (I'm on Debian, using the nagios-text package, if that helps). Where should I be looking; or should I be using a different backend? -jim - Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?

[Nagios-users] ocsp slows nagios a great deal
dear nagios users, I'm in the process of trying to set up a distributed nagios environment monitoring about 9,000 services on 2,500 hosts. i'm using Sunfire V210 servers running Solaris 10. i've found that the distributed servers which monitor the active services can run about 1700 checks every 5 minutes if ocsp isn't enabled, but once I enable ocsp, the number of active checks I can do goes WAY down. here's a breakdown: - ocsp disabled: 1700 checks / 5 min. - ocsp command set to /bin/true: 1200 checks / 5 min. - ocsp command set to a perl program that forks, then pipes output to send_nsca: 800 checks / 5 min. - ocsp command set to a shell program that pipes output to send_nsca: 500 checks / 5 min. What's the deal? I've followed the instructions in the performance tuning place in the manual, but nothing seems to help much, and I don't know what else to check. Resources on the machines are not being fully utilized there's about 30% free cpu at any given time, and plenty of RAM (only 500 MB used of 2 GB). Any help would be much appreciated! Solaris 10 is fully patched with recommended updates from last week. I'm running Nagios 2.5 and it's configured like this: --with-perlcache \ --enable-embedded-perl \ --enable-nanosleep \ --with-gd-inc=$GD_INC_PATH \ --with-gd-lib=$GD_LIB_PATH Thanks, Loren -- loren jan wilson network engineering, uchicago.edu 1155 rm. 327 ; 773/702-8189 - Using Tomcat but need to do more?

Yeah, that may become an issue but I will run some tests to see how it will go.

But having it as a CSV and editing it in a spreadsheet program might be better... What I did do was make an add_nagios_host.pl script to quickly add a host with common services configured. Then you would edit the config to add non-standard checks. I would like to make the whole config tree added to Subversion and then when someone has edited the config they would commit their changes.

These files would only be editable by the system administrator of the Nagios box. /etc/nagios/unix-admin - Within here would be the config files for each department. The directory and the files/dirs therein would be writeable by the unix-admin group. We are thinking of organising it like: /etc/nagios/unix-admin/checkcommands.cfg /etc/nagios/unix-admin/contactgroups.cfg /etc/nagios/unix-admin/hostgroups.cfg /etc/nagios/unix-admin/hosts/host1.example.com.cfg /etc/nagios/unix-admin/hosts/host2.example.com.cfg /etc/nagios/unix-admin/hosts/host3.example.com.cfg . The other departments would have a similar tree structure and permissions allowing them to modify their configurations. Potential Issues: - The main problem is what to do with common services; do we create (Option 1) a, for example, ssh.cfg that lists all the hosts (or host groups) that use SSH? Or (Option 2) do we add the SSH check into each hosts config file seperately? Option 1 pro - Easy to add new common service. Option 1 cons - Must know in advance which services are common so as to edit the correct file (either hostXX.example.com.cfg or ssh.cfg) config. Will not always be clear. There are always exceptions. Option 2 pro - Simple to configure, consistent. Option 2 cons - Mass adding a service to many hosts will require scripting or much time. I am inclined to go with option 2 for simplicity's sake. Any comments or improvements or just what works for you will be appreciated! Thanks, Fred. - Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?

[Nagios-users] NRPE Error
Hello, I have been trying to get a resolution to this problem for several days. I have fedora 5, Nagios 2.4 with plugins 1.4.3 and NRPE 2.0 installed. I installed the NSClient++ on the windows 2003 server and changed the settings in the nsc.ini file. I run the command check_nrpe command from the command line on the nagios server and I immediately get the error connection refused by host. I tried the following. I used my computer as a test. And I was able to run the command and get a response from my workstation, with the pnsclient and the check_nt command I think that it is either a password issue or port issue that the windows 2003 is refusing the connection. I also tried the following I installed the pnsclient on the windows 2003 server and ran the check_nt and it worked. The next question is which one is best to use the NSClient++ or the pNSclient?

Re: [Nagios-users] NRPE check_disk giving incorrect info!
The snapshot check_disk plugin has a few functions that remained after the rewrite. I submitted a patch recently to resolve this issue; however, I'm not sure if it has been taken in to consideration or not.If you check the patches portion of sourceforge, you can find the changes which fix this problem.

So there you go.. The problem is that the service isn't listening on the port! That's why you're getting connection refused. I'm not sure if NSClient+++ uses port 5666, but either way, it's a problem with the service. Check your event log and be a windows admin for a while.. You need that service started, so it listens on the port (5666 or whatever its configured to) and then do the netstat -an again and make sure the port is listening Internet [EMAIL PROTECTED]@lists.sourceforge.net - 11/08/2006 16:22 Sent by:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To:Nagios-users cc: Subject:Re: [Nagios-users] NRPE Error I tried the netstat -an and I do not see any ports open 5666.

[Nagios-users] How do I set the notification period?
I'm interested in setting hosts.cfg notification_period so that it will not check a certain host during a specified period ..such as 3:00AM - 3:30AM.

I have never worked with SNMP before and was wondering if anyone can point me to a resource where I can learn about SNMP and how best to integrate it with Nagios. Thanks. I would recommend this book: http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/esnmp2/index.html This book helped me get started, with SNMP it is important to know how everything fits together. It can seem a bit complex at first but I find its flexibility very useful. You can then also use only one agent per machine for monitoring and statistics gathering, for example. Fred.

Create a custome timeperiod entry, and use that. Egdefine timeperiod{ timeperiod_name off-hours alias Odd hours monday 00:00-06:59
monday 17:01-24:00 tuesday 00:00-06:59 tuesday 17:01-24:00 }Then use the timeperiod in the host and service checks for that machine, another possibliity would be to put the box into downtime, but I don't know how to do that on a recurring basis.

Re: [Nagios-users] SNMP?
OK, the Cisco devices will be easy.1. Figure out if they allow SNMP monitoring (READ ONLY). That should be easy, I am sure they allow SNMP monitoring. I would set them up so that they only can recieve SNMP read request from your Nagios Box. EXAMPLE, in our devices, I had to activate SNMP, add the IP of the Nagios box and the comminuty string. With that said you will have to come up with a community string that the devices and the Nagios box will share. Default is 'Public', CHANGE THAT!!! easy to get compromised, everyone knows that. 2. Download SNMPing http://www.sans.org/alerts/snmp/. it's on the SANS website, it's safe.3. With SNMPing you have to use the device IP and the community string. Click Scan and hopefully your device will respond. If no response, there are a few things that might be stopping the check: Network routes, firewall rules, or the device is not setup properly. Once you over come that we can can move on.Hit me back. If you want to continue.ColbyOn 8/11/06, Michael Radzicki [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi. Thanks for the reply.

[Nagios-users] Solved! (Re: No e-mail notifications with new 2.5 install on Debian Etch)
OK, I've gotten no response, but I have done some more digging in the meantime ... here's what I've found: I changed the notify-by-email to this: /usr/bin/mutt -s test [EMAIL PROTECTED] /dev/null 21 | tee -a /tmp/notice.log And checked /tmp/notice.log: /root/sent: Permission denied (errno = 13) /root/sent: Permission denied (errno = 13) Could not send the message. AH HA! So, digging more ... # ps -ef e | grep nagios nagios 20979 1 0 12:14 ?Ssl0:00 /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -d /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg SHELL=/bin/bash TERM=xterm SSH_CLIENT=x 2139 22 SSH_TTY=/dev/pts/0 USER=root SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/tmp/ssh-WGnUfb1218/agent.1218 PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11 MAIL=/var/mail/root PWD=/usr/local/nagios/etc HOME=/root SHLVL=2 LOGNAME=root SSH_CONNECTION= 2139 xxx 22 _=/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios Ummm...wait ... if this is running as user nagios, why the heck is the HOME=/root, LOGNAME=root, etc? And we dig deeper. I see in /etc/init.d/nagios (created by the installer) that it does a su - nagios to touch (create) a log file and another file it needs, but then it calls the nagios binary directly as root. I see in .../base/utils.c, the binary does a setuid(), but doesn't do anything to reset the environment, so it is just inheriting it from the calling user (in this case root). So, why are other people not having problems with notifications if their nagios daemon is running with root's environment? I am guessing it is because I am using mutt and not mail/mailx to do the notifications, and mutt is trying to save the outgoing e-mail (which would be bad anyway). There are three obvious solutions for this: 1 - switch to mailx (in my case, apt-get install mailx, replace mutt with 'mailx in the notify-by-email commands). 2 - add set copy=no to /etc/Muttrc to disable the e-mail copy feature. I couldn't find a way to do it via the command line, and I *could* have put it in /root/.muttrc, except the nagios user won't be able to read the file, and therefore won't pick up the configuration. WARNING: This option affects all users systemwide, unless they re-override it in *their* ~/.muttrc. In my case, there are really no users on this box, just apps and services, so it's OK for me. 3 - create a muttrc somewhere that nagios can reach (i.e. /usr/local/nagios/etc/muttrc) and add -F /usr/local/nagios/etc/muttrc to the mutt command in the notify-by-email command I have done 1 and 3, actually. I installed mail/mailx just because other apps might just assume it's there (why it wasn't originally, I'm not sure), and I created the /usr/local/nagios/etc/Muttrc, too. So, why do I prefer mutt over mailx for sending mail? Basically, just because I like mutt's ability to easily attach files as attachments without having to manually deal with uuencode and friends. OK, with this data dump, I am back on the air and back to working on a strategy to configure my nagios server to monitor everything else in the world.

I did notice that the command setup in minimal.cfg (what I am playing with now, the other command files are disabled) did not put in a mail client, as I did not have one installed. I installed mutt, and added it to the command line after the | and before the -s, and also redirected the output of the command to a text file and (spacing aside), it looked OK. I'm not sure if the spacing should have been compressed or not, so that is a good question. Running the command manually as root or as nagios, I do get an e-mail (as long as I manually replace the $CONTACTEMAIL$ to a real email address ... obviously, none of the other variables get expanded, but the mail does flow.

Re: [Nagios-users] Help rephrasing my question
I would guess that it's possibly related to state changes. I think the classification of down vs. unreachable only happens upon state changes. States can be OK (up) or non-OK (down or unreachable) The child host (down) is in a non-OK state. When its parent goes into non-OK (down) , the child was already non-OK (down), therefore doesn't reclassify to a different non-OK (unreachable). I would agreee that it seems more logical to that only the topmost branch during an outage should be considered Down, and all child nodes to be considered Unreachable. -Original Message- From: Morris, Patrick [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, August 11, 2006 4:33 PM To: Brian McKee; Nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] Help rephrasing my question I posted a query on this list a week ago which no-one responded to. https://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=295006 09forum_id=1873 That was a rephrased form of a question I asked a few weeks earlier than that https://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=255356 73forum_id=1873 I'd appreciate if anyone has a minute to review those questions and suggest how I might either determine a resolution on my own, or rephase the issue such that someone here can contribute a solution.

I think you are on the right track with the separate files/directories, however if you have over 1,000 servers i think there may be other overheads involved in parsing 1,000 or more individual files on startup, but that can be checked later. Yeah, that may become an issue but I will run some tests to see how it will go. I think when we have 1000 servers/network elements, we will have to get another Nagios server as the CPU usage from running all the checks is already around 40% (with ~200 hosts and ~650 checks). I would go for individual host definitions per host including all of the services that it runs, that way you can easily script something to write out config files per server from a data source such as CSV. For example: host,servce1,service2,serviceN... host1.example.com,ssh,ping,http,https,someservice,someotherservice snip We actually tried that idea but there are many exceptions (eg. community names, different proc count thresholds, etc) and we had to start putting parameters in the text file and it soon looked uglier and harder to edit than the current Nagios config. But having it as a CSV and editing it in a spreadsheet program might be better... What I did do was make an add_nagios_host.pl script to quickly add a host with common services configured. Then you would edit the config to add non-standard checks. I would like to make the whole config tree added to Subversion and then when someone has edited the config they would commit their changes. It would introduce an audit trail to figure out who broke what. I'm looking at a similar solution to monitor 9,000 or so Blade servers.. fun times! Indeed! Good luck! Fred. Internet [EMAIL PROTECTED]@lists.sourceforge.net - 10/08/2006 15:15 Sent by:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To:nagios-users cc: Subject:[Nagios-users] Scalable Configuration Strategies? Hi, My colleague and I are in the process of giving our bloated, all-in-one-file Nagios configuration a re-haul. It was getting unwieldy and error prone searching through the config file to add/modify hosts and services. So I am emailing the list to get opinions and see what other people do in their environments. Initial Idea: - We have a multi-department Nagios server, eg. Network Admins, Windows Admins and Unix Admins all use the same server. Currently every department has their own file, eg. unix-hosts.cfg, network-elements.cfg, etc. containing host definitions, hostgroups, service definitions all in one file. So we have decided to try out the cfg_dir statement in nagios.cfg as the basis for our new configuration. Our initial layout could be: /etc/nagios - The main config files eg. nagios.cfg, resource.cfg, contacts.cfg, timeperiods.cfg, template.cfg. These files would only be editable by the system administrator of the Nagios box. /etc/nagios/unix-admin - Within here would be the config files for each department. The directory and the files/dirs therein would be writeable by the unix-admin group. We are thinking of organising it like: /etc/nagios/unix-admin/checkcommands.cfg /etc/nagios/unix-admin/contactgroups.cfg /etc/nagios/unix-admin/hostgroups.cfg /etc/nagios/unix-admin/hosts/host1.example.com.cfg /etc/nagios/unix-admin/hosts/host2.example.com.cfg /etc/nagios/unix-admin/hosts/host3.example.com.cfg . The other departments would have a similar tree structure and permissions allowing them to modify their configurations. Potential Issues: - The main problem is what to do with common services; do we create (Option 1) a, for example, ssh.cfg that lists all the hosts (or host groups) that use SSH? Or (Option 2) do we add the SSH check into each hosts config file seperately? Option 1 pro - Easy to add new common service. Option 1 cons - Must know in advance which services are common so as to edit the correct file (either hostXX.example.com.cfg or ssh.cfg) config. Will not always be clear. There are always exceptions. Option 2 pro - Simple to configure, consistent. Option 2 cons - Mass adding a service to many hosts will require scripting or much time. I am inclined to go with option 2 for simplicity's sake. Any comments or improvements or just what works for you will be appreciated! Thanks, Fred. - Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?

Re: [Nagios-users] Help rephrasing my question
I agree that the parent(s) are only checked when the child changes state. This is scalable but it does leave open this edge case. Walking the dependency tree of a host for every check to verify that nothing above has changed isn't elegant and having a parent's state directly affect all its children by propagating downward sounds good but could lead to lots of extra checks in complex, multi-parent setups. Those checks are not parallelized at this point so you're affecting normal operation. I'm not sure I'd consider it a bug but you might want to run it by nagios-devel to get Ethan's opinion. -- Marc -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:nagios-users- [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tedman Eng Sent: Friday, August 11, 2006 6:56 PM To: 'Morris, Patrick'; Brian McKee; Nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] Help rephrasing my question I would guess that it's possibly related to state changes.
