[Nagios-users] Advanced permissions/user properties
Hi! I've got a problem that I don't how to solve best in Nagios. I think other people have run into the same problem (I know that someone has run into a /similar/ problem). I'm running 2.5 on a mid-sized installations (~300 hosts, ~2500 services). Thing is, our projects/(host|service)groups vary wildly in who is responsible for them. Unfortunately, all these projects are also heavily intertwined in their dependencies. Say we have a web mail project A. This consists of several web servers, databases and the like. It is heavily dependent on the LDAP project B and the mail server project C. While B and C have the same group of admins, project A is managed by an entirely different group of people. As such, we have configured Nagios that the group that is responsible for project can only see the machines of project A and the B-and-C-people can only see B and C. Everything is peachy. Except. Sometimes, project A may look like it's broken (pages time out etc). But in reality, there's a spam attack and the project B (the LDAP infrastructure) is so slow it simply grinds to a halt. In this case it would obviously be nice if the people from project A could see that project B is slow. Yet they should not be able to change the notification options/acknowledgements etc etc of projects B or C. The altinity people have created a patch for the view some, change none scenario[0]. Unfortunately, what I'd need is a mechanism for the view some, change a few scenario I outlined above. How do others deal with this kind of problem? I'm sure we're not the only ones who've run into it. As of currently, our best guess would be to create pseudo-accounts (like john.foo and john.foo-admin) and hack the CGI(s) to only allow the commands from -admin accounts which are in the notification list (with notification options set to n). We already do this to let people see machines they don't mailed/paged/called about.

Re: [Nagios-users] check_all_disk 2 host same value

Subject: [Nagios-users] check_all_disk 2 host same value
Hello
I installed nagios2 from Debian test.
The Problem is:
If I set in the check_all_disk service at both of two hosts, the two host
show the same value.
My setting:
define service{
host_name angyal
service_description Free space on angyal
check_command check_all_disks!40%!20%
use generic-service
}
define service{
host_name vedelmezo
service_description Free space on vedelmezo
check_command check_all_disks!60%!50%
use generic-service
}
You don't provide enough information to completely answer your question; we
need to see the check_all_disks command definition and know more about the
plugin that it's using. The standard check-disk plugin is not network aware and
only checks the disks on the machine it's installed/run on (how could it do
otherwise without extra configuration by you). You'll probably need to install
the plugin on the target machine and use check-by-ssh, NRPE, NSCA or some other
helper script to run the plugin on the target machine and return the results to
your Nagios machine.
An alternative is to enable/configure SNMPd on the target machine and use
check-snmp to check your disk space. It's a bit more work though.

While restricting viewing might reduce mental clutter for those concerned*, I can't see why being able to see everything is a big deal (unless you're displaying some super sensitive information in Nagios which is a totally different topic). Well it's not super sensitive but when we started deploying Nagios we were very happy to not clutter the webpages for everybody (how we Nagios admins cope is another story ;)). We're currently looking into hacking cmd.cgi to a) log all issued commands with username and ip and b) do some permission checking Unfortunately b) will leave us with yet another othogonal user account type. Currently, most users have three accounts: first.last, first.last-sms, first.last-email, first.last-phone. The first account allows them to log onto the website and view stuff, the other three are used to configure the respective notification types (the first account has notifications disabled entirely). This has the advantage that not everybody that wants to see a host has to get any of the used notification types. Unfortunately, you can not easily pull apart view and disable stuff this way, hence my initial question. The Nagios permission system is a bit lacking in this respect. As far as I can tell from Ethan's presentation about 3.0, that won't change (much) with the next version. It's not like I have the perfect way to specify such fine-grained perms in my head, either. *Our service centre can see everything, but we used service groups to provide rolled up views to keep it simple for them. All our engineers can see everything so when they spot an issue with someone elses kits that impacts their own, they can find out what the issue is and who to poke in the eye with a burnt stick to get it fixed. We found that trying to hide stuff just blinkered people and made them only responsive to their own issues (not my server. not my problem.) which results in poor customer service at the end of the day. While I agree with you mostly, we also offer Nagios monitoring to our customers. This is turn means that we have to seperate them in some way (it wouldn't be cool if all customers saw each other's hosts and services). This is a hard requirement that I can't move a single inch on (rather: my boss won't let me). We're now looking at seperating our own Nagios and that for the customers. That way, we'd get the have N accounts for everybody to be a little more manageable. For our internal stuff, we'd go the route you described (everybody seeing everything). Seeing as about 90% of what we monitor is our own stuff, that would make quite a difference. Regards, Tobias -- Never touch a burning system. - Using Tomcat but need to do more?

Any help with this would greatly appreciated Rusty I don't know for this specific application, but there are generally several approaches you can use to tackle your problem. This application can either have a built-in support for monitoring, or not (too many cases sadly ...) You say it does not because there are no OIDs, but have you looked at WMI ? It might define a schema and a bunch of classes. Otherwise, are there any kind of maintenance, or status scripts ? If there are, you can wrap them into a check plugin. If it actually does not have any means of being monitored directly, then you can monitor it indirectly. This means: - looking for the process(es). This can be done with WMI or any simple process monitoring plugin. - looking for open ports, if it does use some (check_tcp) - looking for database accesses if it uses an external DBMS. For instance MS SQL provides counters for the number of connections - simulating web accesses if it provides a web front-end (check_http) - looking for opened files/handles - ... If one of those check is not enough, all of them should give you quite a good overview of the health of the application.

Re: [Nagios-users] Graphing solutions comparision
Am Dienstag, 31. Oktober 2006 21:20 schrieb Tedman Eng: Hi Nagios Users, Hi Tedman I'm attempting to categorize the various graphing solutions and need input from people familiar with the various projects. From what I can tell, the graphing add-ons are mostly divided into 2 schools of thought: 1. Let the standard nagios plugin decide the status, and then graph the numbers. (NagiosGrapher, PNP, others?) Nagios plugin check_snmp -w 50 retrieves value 60% Nagios plugin checks 60 50, Alarms Warning! Nagios plugin passes 60% to be graphed (from perf data, regex of output, etc) Grapher inserts 60 into RRD Right. But PNP also extracts additional Informations if a Plugin produces valid Perfdata. MIN, MAX,WARNUNG and CRITICAL Valuas are also stored for further usage. 2. Rewrite the plugin to graph, and then decide the status based on the RRD result. (Apan, Oreon, others?) Grapher plugin check_graph_snmp -w 50 retrieves value 60% Grapher inserts 60 into RRD RRD returns New=60, Previous=50, Avg=55 Grapher plugin checks 55 50, Alarms Warning! The advantage of solution 2 is that thresholds can be based on the RRD calculation, which is AFAIK the only way to alarm on COUNT data types. The disadvantage is that custom plugins need to be written, or in some cases a check_graph wrapper. Also, check latency is increased by the amount of time required to insert the values into the RRD file. Hmmm, i dont think its the only solution. The most traffic Plugins ( for example check_snmp_int.pl ) use temporary files to store the previous values. Please let me know your experiences of which fits into which category, of if I've mischaracterized any of the above. I think graphing should be done by addons and not by the plugins. The check execution time must be as short as possible. Jörg - Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?
