A few questions:


What version of nagios are you running? 
When you added the echo statement was IT the only thing in the script?
or did you leave the rest of the script intact? 
What are the permissions of the directories, files of where your 
submit_check_result script is? 
Did you try running the script by hand as the user nagios runs under?


PS: Give an example of what your submit_check_result script looks like.


Hi Bryan !!!


Thanks for your mail. 


I have since dicovered that the problem was the permissions of
my send_nsca.cfg file !! For completeness:
Version of nagios is 2.4
The echo statement was simply added with all other statements intact
The permissions of the script files are readable and executable
by anyone. It is owned by nagios:nagios.
As I said above, I slipped up with not checking the send_nsca.cfg file !!!


Thanks for your time, Bryan. Much appreciated 
John

Check your apache manual for apache questions.

But apache will not record timing issues untill you run fresh out and then 
you get error log events.

So the only way to test it is by being the client.

Thanks for answer. Is there a way to check this in the apache log (via a
plugin) instead testing the request ? because I don't know what request
will be sent by the client, I just want to see "after" all slow requests.

I think i know the problem..





 





the nagios binary that you ran is not from

please do the following...





1. cd /usr/local/nagios/bin





2. ./nagios -v /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg





 





if you run...





nagios -v ..., it will pick up the nagios binary from /etc/init.d i
think..





and that binary only allow you to stop/start/restart/reload.





 





I will not allow you to do pre-flight check..





 





Hope it solve the problem..

Just make sure you pass any info you need as parameters to your
eventhandler script, and handle them there.

Hello

It is possible to call event handlers infinitely by nagios? I mean if 
the host goes to 'down' sate the event handler is executing correctly 
but how do i can enable to execute handler after $max_check_attempts 
times or if host in state 'down' during the restart nagios daemon (eg

A few questions:

What version of nagios are you running? 
When you added the echo statement was IT the only thing in the script?
or did you leave the rest of the script intact? 
What are the permissions of the directories, files of where your 
submit_check_result script is? 
Did you try running the script by hand as the user nagios runs under?

PS: Give an example of what your submit_check_result script looks like.

[Nagios-users] EPN/DB plugin question

[Tal Cohen]

I am creating 
plugins that interface with a mysql database. I know that in mod_perl there 
is a way to maintain and share database connections (thereby avoiding the 
connect/disconnect overhead). Is there a similar method using 
epn?
 
Thanks,
Tal

[Nagios-users] NSClient++ DNS name instead of IP address

[narendran.neelamegam]

Hi,
Is it 
possible to provide hostname instead of the IP address of the Nagios server in 
allowed hosts and use DNS to resolve?
 
allowed_hosts=FQDN
 
How 
can we achieve this?
 
Thanks 
and Regards,
 
Narendran Neelamegam

just talking about Nagios on VmWare (Free server edition), I am trying to 
install and use
it, but I am not getting result when using snmp calls ("no output" as
a result).

The configuration is the same of a working (non Vmware) nagios server,
so I think the problem is in VmWare but I don't know where to look?

Anybody have an hint for me?

Thank you in advance

Well, this sounds like you don't have the passive-check-template 
anywhere in your config.

Better get a working set up of Nagios first.

Simply start with empty configuration files and work through the manual.

check_esx on Nagios Exchange might suit your requirements.

[Nagios-users] Nagios performance info for cluster?

[Fabalabs Mailing-Lists]

Title: Nagios performance info for cluster?






Hello!

I’m looking for a possibility to view the performance info of a Nagios worker process in a clustered environment. (Because otherwise I will not see the statistics of the active checks, if all my checks are passively sent to the master)



The default behaviour of the extinfo.cgi?type=4 page is to display the Nagios process performance data of the local running master server.

Is there any parameter to tell Nagios (this CGI page) to display the performance data of another Nagios cluster node?

(The nagiostats utility can access those data by defining the configuration file of the worker process (e.g. –c /etc/nagios-worker/nagios.cfg))


By the way, is there any documentation of all possible Nagios CGI-parameters (for example for extinfo.cgi or cmd.cgi) that are allowed?



Kind regards,

    Klaus Pesendorfer.

[Nagios-users] Distributed nagios system

[John Longland]

Title: Distributed nagios system





Hi all !!


I've had to implement a distributed systemand I have gone through some docs
I found on sourceforge. 


I'll briefly mention what I have done:


slave nagios
1. Installed the nsca pack
2. put send_nsca.cfg  -> /etc
3. modified entry for ocsp_sommand in nagios,cfg
4. enabled obesess over services
5. enable_notifications set to 0
6. Defined a command called submit_check_result in my minimal.cfg
7. Written submit_check_result script and placed it in ../libexec


server side:
1. Installed nsca pack
2. nsca,cfg -> /usr/local/nagios/etc
3. active service checks 1 for services checked from main nagios
  set to 0 for service checked from slave nagios
4. externetl commands checks enabled
5. passive service checks enabled
6. nsca -> /usr/local/nagios/bin
7. check existance of  /usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd
8. wrote nsca script in  /etc/xinetd.d
9. added entry in /etc/services  called NSCA
10. restarted xinetd



Problem.
When I send info from slave to main nagios by hand, it is sent and
reported by the main nagios, correctly.
When I remove /usr/local/nagios/libexec/submit_check_result, I get an error indicating that the slave
    nagios is trying to execute a non-existing script.
When I re-instate the submit_check_result script, nothing happens. No error in any log.
I do not see any attempt on the network ( tcpdump) that the slave is trying to contact the main
nagios.
I have also added a little echo statement in the submit_check_result script that writes to a file.
This way I can see that the script was executed. This does not happen which means the 
submit_check_result script is not executed.


Can someone help , please ??


John
