 Both printf and mail work fine with UTF8 japanese, and tests using only
 the $HOSTNOTES$ macro yeilds similar results (nothing output).
 The CGI's work fine, and display the japanese, so it seems the macro
 processing is not able to handle the characters.
 
 Has anyone had similar problems, and is there a solution?

I can't try the japanese UTF, but are you sure that /usr/bin/printf
supports UTF8? Typing printf at the shell is not the same as using
/usr/bin/printf. The bash built-in printf function is very different
from the external executable and has caused lots of headaches to me
already. It might be the source of your problem too.

 This actually hits on what I consider to be one of Nagios' (few)

 weaknesses. A lot of time, when I do my checks, I'm not nearly
as 
 interested in the value of a check as in the change in the value 
 since the last check. This is a good example. Another
item I 
 monitor is changes in the SNMP Interface error counters. For

 example, if I get more than 5 errors/second, I need to send out an

 alert. Finally, I have the same issue monitoring SNMP Interface

 statuses. But, Nagios has no feature to remember data between

 invocations of the checks. So, I end up storing this data in

 temporary files. If there was a facility to provide some information
 back to Nagios, and retrieve it on the next one, that would be wonderful.

The responsibility of something like this entirely
up to the plugin..

Nagios's task is to schedule and check hosts/services,
and to notify a contact of status changes.

The task of the plugin is to perform an operation
to check if a service is working (or not) and provide a uniform status
message back to Nagios..

If you would like something checked in a particular
way, and there is no way currently to do it, then build your own plugin
and put it up on NagiosExchange for everyone to use :-)

[Nagios-users] External Commands segfault

2006-10-18 Thread David Schlecht
Hi list



I'm seeking any suggestions, no matter how far-fetched.



The cmd.cgi occasionally dies/hangs. It often generates a segfault.



This only happens occasionally but when it does, things get very
 ugly as all subsequent commands fail. I have seen no common thread
 but can reproduce the problem quite regularly (but not every time)
 by using the Schedule Downtime external command.



This has happened since the beginning of time and continues through
 version 2.5. I used to believe that it was restriceted to the SLES
 platform but have moved to RH and the problem persists. The hardware
 doesn't matter either as we've had the problem on x386 boxes, i64
 and even z/Os VMs.



Can someone please help with this? Your help would be most appreciated.



Thanks.

- David Schlecht (dschl)

Object IDentifier. Please check your favority search engine and put in the 
question. It usually helps.

You are advised to learn a thing or two about SNMP (Simple Network

routers about such intimate details.

The wolfgang barth book Nagios Systems and Network Monitoring has a
pretty good intro to SNMP.

However for a more in depth study on SNMP I would suggest the Essential
SNMP book from Oreilly.

[Nagios-users] Monitoring VMWare

Has anyone had any success in monitoring VMWare virtual servers. I can
monitor the ESX but how do we get details of the virtual servers that
are hosted on ESX so that data bears some resemblance to reality. If we
monitor from the virtual servers then obviously things like CPU readings
are useless.
Any ideas?

 avoiding the connect/disconnect overhead). Is there a similar method using
 epn?

Apart from the same precautions that apply to coding mod_perl and ePN
client code (ie use strict, be careful with globals since they will be
captured by closures and live forever, initialise everything where it
makes sense ... see the Stas Bekman recommendations or the notes in
the Nag docco), mod_perl and ePN have very little in common, apart
from the intent.

However, to attempt an answer, why not simply avoid shutting down the
connection and check if the DB and statement handles are instantiated
before constructing them ? (ie write a nasty looking thing that is
intended for use in a persistent environment).

An example that is similar (but not unfortch like your case) is only
constructing objects the first time the plugin is run.

  unless ( $sock ) {

# Conditional
object construction
# to try and
reduce memory use
# in embedded
Perl applications.

$sock = IO::Socket::INET-new(
LocalAddr   = inet_ntoa(INADDR_ANY),
LocalPort   = 68,
Proto = 'udp',
Type  = SOCK_DGRAM,
Broadcast  = 1,
) or do {
  print Cannot create socket or bind to priviledged port: $!\n ;
  exit $ERRORS{UNKNOWN}
}

  }

  $hispaddr = sockaddr_in(67, inet_aton($subnet_bcast) || INADDR_BROADCAST) ;


This is part of a private DHCP check (yep, every one has to write
their own DHCP check at least once) that only creates the DHCP object
if it doesn't already have a value that is retained from the last time
the plugin runs.

This has been working for me (Perl 5.8.0/RH EL3/Nag 2.5) for some
months without problem. Oops ! It works because the object _is_
constructed each time since this is a suid plugin that is called from
a C wrapper and therefore doesn't bother ePN at all. However, I think
it would or could be made to work with ePN.

Unlike mod_perl which could well systematically cache such things,
there is no support in ePN for caching application data structures.
OTOH,  you may be able to get away with a hack like that above.

You could also consider porting the mod_perl stuff to ePN. I would
consider it but looking at the mod_perl code makes my head hurt.

Yours sincerely.


 Thanks,
 Tal

Re: [Nagios-users] Antwort: UTF8 Japanese characters in macros

2006-10-18 Thread チャンドラ
Sascha,

Thanks for the reply.

Yes, /usr/bin/printf works with the UTF8 strings I am trying to use.  I 
have tried /bin/echo as well (which also has no problems from the 
command line) with the same results, so I think it is a problem with way 
the strings are stored in the macro.

 Both printf and mail work fine with UTF8 japanese, and tests using only
 the $HOSTNOTES$ macro yeilds similar results (nothing output).
 The CGI's work fine, and display the japanese, so it seems the macro
 processing is not able to handle the characters.

 Has anyone had similar problems, and is there a solution?
 
 I can't try the japanese UTF, but are you sure that /usr/bin/printf
 supports UTF8? Typing printf at the shell is not the same as using
 /usr/bin/printf. The bash built-in printf function is very different
 from the external executable and has caused lots of headaches to me
 already. It might be the source of your problem too.

Re: [Nagios-users] Monitoring VMWare

2006-10-18 Thread Matthew Joyce

The data coming from a VM machine isn't useless as you described it,
it's still relevant in the context of the virtual machine.
Develop some tailored checks and thresholds for a VM Hostgroup.

 Subject: [Nagios-users] Monitoring VMWare
 
 Has anyone had any success in monitoring VMWare virtual 
 servers. I can monitor the ESX but how do we get details of 
 the virtual servers that are hosted on ESX so that data bears 
 some resemblance to reality. If we monitor from the virtual 
 servers then obviously things like CPU readings are useless.
 Any ideas?

Rob,

I tried your perl script, but unfortunately it suffers from the same 
problem.

Any other help would be appreciated!
