[Nagios-users] logrotation
Title: logrotation Hi all, Currently we are running nagios on Debian testing. I found a small problem that might already have been fixed but I did not find anything about it. The defaults within Nagios for rotating the logfiles have been set to 1 day. It rotates around midnight. The problem is that I suspect nagios is pointing to a wrong filepointer. I stops logging the events until the next os logrotation (around 6 a.m. in our case). Has this already been reported? Best regards, Hans Wolters - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios process not running? It is running!
I don't think so because when I run the exact command that I put in the cgi.cfg from the command line as the nagios user (I copied and pasted to make sure it was identical), I got the right result as expected. It was only when put in the cgi.cfg and run by Nagios that it always gave the same thing, saying nagios wasn't running. But when nagios isn't running the web interface doesn't come up properly, I get a whole different error. I also still receive alerts so Nagios must be running. The reason the status file can't be in the wrong place is because otherwise the test when executed from the command line would fail, whereas it passes. I think this is more likely a subtle bug, it's the only way that I can account for the difference. -h Hari Sekhon Guang Deng wrote: > > the status.log file is missing, they this: > > touch /var/nagios/status.log > - Take Surveys.

[Nagios-users] holidays
Hi list,
i've been searching around for a way to define holidays in nagios. The
object is
to be able to use a 24-7 timeperiod on holidays (e.g. 25 december) and
the Tech_hours
timeperiod on 'normal' days:
define timeperiod
timeperiod_name 24x7
alias twenty-four seven baby!
sunday00:00-24:00
monday00:00-24:00
tuesday 00:00-24:00
wednesday 00:00-24:00
thursday 00:00-24:00
friday00:00-24:00
saturday 00:00-24:00
}
define timeperiod {
timeperiod_name Tech_hours
sunday00:00-24:00
monday00:00-08:59,17:00-23:59
tuesday 00:00-08:59,17:00-23:59
wednesday 00:00-08:59,17:00-23:59
thursday 00:00-08:59,17:00-23:59
friday00:00-08:59,17:00-23:59
saturday 00:00-24:00
}
Thank you for any hint or helpful suggestion.
cheers,

[Nagios-users] what does "last check" mean / "last check" inconsistence
I noticed that "last check" in the nagios interface is used twice, and that its usage is inconsistent - it shows different things: 1. "Last check" in "Host detail" 2. "Last check" in "View status detail for that host" For example, I have a host called "SERVER". In "Host detail", "Last check" shows a date of "04-10-2006 17:09:01". In "View status detail for that host", "Last check" shows a date of "05-10-2006 13:05:05", which is close to the current date. What is the difference between the two? Especially, I'd like to know what "Last check" in "Host detail" means. I'm running nagios 2.5. -- Tomasz Chmielewski http://wpkg.org - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

[Nagios-users] SMS notifications to a cell phone
Hi All, I am in the process of setting up nagios for monitoring key services in our network setup. I have already tested and used the email method of sending notifications using Sendmail as my relay host. I would be grateful if I get some pointers for sending notifications using SMS to a cell number, in case of service failures and recoveries. I went through the nagios docs. They have mentioned quite a few options for using SMS as a notification method. But it seems that one needs to subscribe to the services of a service provider to use any of those options. And the service provider should be providing services in your country/location. Is it possible to use this notification without subscribing to any specific paid service ? I am extremely sorry if this question has already been answered before. Thanks In Advance Yogesh - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

Re: [Nagios-users] SMS notifications to a cell phone
well, you could just use gnokii or something like that and have a mobile phone connected directly to the nagios server, although I haven't tried this myself. it does mean that there is a completely separate route for gettng alerts. -h Hari Sekhon Tom Brown wrote: I am in the process of setting up nagios for monitoring key services in our network setup.

Basically, you pass the notification number in the notification command and have the notification command call a script. This script checks the notification number and if it is 1 then exit, if it is 2 or higher then send an email/page/etc. This is oversimplifying it, but you should get the idea. Mike - Take Surveys.

Re: [Nagios-users] SMS notifications to a cell phone
I use 'qpage', which drives a direct attach modem, through a dedicated analog line. Most cell phone providers, including Verizon, support using the TAP protocol to send messages to mobile phones as text messages. http://www.qpage.org/ https://www.vtext.com/customer_site/jsp/aboutservice.jsp Peter L. Berghold wrote: -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Yogesh Hasabnis wrote: Is it possible to use this notification without subscribing to any specific paid service ? In my shop we just treat cell phone notifications the same as email notification. For instance, Verizon Wireless customers who have text messaging can receive pages by sending an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] where ## is the telephone number of the cell phone you are sending email to. I also have a "front end" (middle end?) script for cell phones that chops a notification up into chunks that don't overflow the cell phone's text size limit and sends them out as multiple pages. - -- Peter L.

[Nagios-users] a new check_bgp plugin
I enhanced the check_bgp.pl plugin provided by Indiana University (see the "IU Nagios Plugins" project at SourceForge). The old check_bgp.pl plugin checks that BGP sessions on a router are up. The attached check_bgp_new.pl plugin does the same thing, and is upward-compatible with the old check_bgp.pl. The new plugin has a new optional feature that works only on Juniper routers. For each BGP session on a Juniper router, the new plugin can check that the number of active or received prefixes falls between given minimum and maximum values.We use check_bgp_new at our site to make Nagios notify us when our routing with the outside world gets "funny", like when one ISP suddenly becomes less preferred than another. -- Pete#!/usr/bin/perl -w
#
# This Nagios plugin checks BGP sessions on a router. It checks that
# the BGP sessions in a given list are in "established" state, and on
# Juniper routers it can check that the number of prefixes learned
# from each BGP neighbor falls within a given range.
#
# This is a rewrite of the Nagios plugin named check_bgp.pl, available
# at SourceForge under the project named "IU Nagios Plugins". That
# plugin checks that BGP sessions are in "established" state. This
# plugin does the same, but allows passing in an optional set of
# threshold values with each BGP neighbor. When the optional
# thresholds are supplied on the command line, this plugin checks the
# number of prefixes learned via each BGP session against the
# thresholds.
#
# TODO:
# Make it check prefixes on Cisco as well as Juniper routers.
