[Nagios-users] Query about smsclient
Hi All, I am trying to use smsclient for SMS alerts. I have one basic question. If one uses an analog modem to send SMS alerts, how does the service provider charge us for using his services? I was planning to put this question on the smsclient users' mailing list. But when I try to subscribe for this mailing list, the subscription webpage gives a message that you will receive an email response to confirm your subscription, but I never receive this confirmation email. Is anybody on this list a member of that list? Is the smsclient project active? Thanks In Advance. Yogesh - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

Re: [Nagios-users] Fwd: Multiple host in hosts.cfg
GOOD EXPLANATION FROM YR SIDE.
SO IF I WANT TO ADD MORE HOSTS THEN I NEED TO ADD IN ONLY HOSTS.CFG FILE NOT
IN ANY OTHER FILE(LIKE SERVICE/HOSTGROUPS ETC)AS OTHER FILES ARE LOOK HOSTS
DETAILS FROM HOSTGROUP NAME.
RIGHT ?
PL. CONFIRM ..
THANKS FOR YR SUPPORT
THANKS AND REGARDS,

Re: [Nagios-users] nsca/services issue
Hi,
I assume you have a host 'mike' and a service 'nmbd' defined on it. Check if
you have "accept_passive_service_checks=1" in nagios.cfg and
"passive_checks_enabled 1" in the service definition. If you open the
Service State Information page in the web interface it should also say that
passive checks are enabled.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Jedrzej

Subject: [Nagios-users] nsca/services issue
I have a question about nsca and service checks. I am running nsca 2.6 and
Nagios 2.5. I have just trying to send a simple test service check to
Nagios to see if I can get the state to change.and it isn't working.
Here is what I am trying to do.
>From the remote machine:
/usr/bin/send_nsca -H ian -d ";" -c /etc/send_nagios.cfg < test
The file test contains:
mike;nmbd;2;'ok-just one test'
I have configured nsca on the Nagios server and the config file contains:
server_port=5667
server_address=192.168.1.10
nsca_user=nagios
nsca_group=nagios
debug=0
command_file=/usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd
alternate_dump_file=/usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nsca.dump
aggregate_writes=0
append_to_file=0
max_packet_age=30
password=password
decryption_method=10
The send_nagios.cfg contains:
password=password
encryption_method=10
My service check is:
define service{
host_name mike
service_description syslog-ng
active_checks_enabled 0
passive_checks_enabled 1
check_freshness 0
is_volatile 1
max_check_attempts 1
normal_check_interval 1
retry_check_interval1
check_periodnone
contact_groups nagios-admins
check_command check_dummy!2!Critical
notification_optionsw,c,u
notification_period 24x7
notification_interval 120
}
The /var/log/messages file shows the following:
Nov 21 00:09:00 ian nsca[12202]: SERVICE CHECK -> Host Name: 'mike', Service
Description: 'nmbd', Return Code: '2', Output: ''ok-just one test''
Nov 21 00:09:47 ian nagios: EXTERNAL COMMAND:
PROCESS_SERVICE_CHECK_RESULT;mike;nmbd;2;'ok-just one test'
It appears that the external command file is getting the check.but the host
page just sits there saying that the host hasn't been checked. I have tried
several different states and still the same result. I understand that an
active check isnt being performed but I would think that because of the
above "PROCESS_SERVICE_CHECK_RESULT" line that the nagios.cmd file got the
message and the page should be updated with a critical message.
I read in the docs that the check needs to have the date in front of it .but
when I tried that I couldn't get nsca to expand the variable.I have checked
permissions, etc.
So.where have I messed up? LOL.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Re: [Nagios-users] nsca/services issue
Probably not...
I have been reading some documentation on both syslog and nsca that talk (at
the same time) about distributed systems and logging. This is a test script
that I took from one to the pieces of documentation and appears that I messed
up at midnight.
With that said...how can I can I test this in this manner?
Thanks

Pardon me if I'm wrong here, but it looks like you have a service defined
for syslog-ng, yet the status that you're sending thru nsca is for _nmbd_.
nmbd != syslog-ng, therefore no change to nagios display.
Did I miss something?

Re: [Nagios-users] nsca/services issue
I'm not absolutely positive, but I think you just need to change your
"test" file so it says "syslog-ng" instead of "nmbd". It's possible to
send passive checks (via nsca or whatever other methods one may employ)
for _any_ host or service you can imagine, but Nagios will log and ignore
every one of them unless they're properly defined in your Nagios config
files.
From http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/passivechecks.html
Note that in order to submit service checks to Nagios, a service must have
already been defined in the object configuration file! Nagios will ignore
all check results for services that had not been configured before it was
last (re)started.

[Nagios-users] Nagios et Nsca ... Timeout of Nagios ?
Hello, I am looking at which are the best possibilities of supervision/administration of networks... I use currently a little more than 400 servers with Cfengine. I would like to interface it with Nagios and his Nsca agent... (Nrpe requires too much opening of ports). But knowing the bases of Nagios, I don't know all the specs about the Nsca agent at all (always used NRPE). I just have a small question: if the agent NSCA on the client server does not send anything to the nagios server, will Nagios at the end of one period go up an alarm? Is this period can be changed ? Tks a lot for your answers And good luck for everybody. Regards Manu - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

This is a classic apache problem. The "Premature end of script headers" error message is probably the most loathed and common error message you'll find. What the error actually means, is that the script stopped for whatever reason before it returned any output to the web server. A common cause of this for script writers is to fail to set a content type before printing output code. What do the apache logs say? What does the source code of the page say?

Re: [Nagios-users] nsca/services issue
I guess I should have said that this isnt a distributed set up. I am setting
up syslog-ng and am just trying to make sure that everything is working...so
there are no services installed on the client "mike". I have checked to make
sure that the passive_checks directives are enabled in the nagios.cfg and the
Service State page also shows that they are.
Is this not a good way to test prior to turning on syslog-ng?

Hi,
I assume you have a host 'mike' and a service 'nmbd' defined on it. Check if
you have "accept_passive_service_checks=1" in nagios.cfg and
"passive_checks_enabled 1" in the service definition. If you open the Service
State Information page in the web interface it should also say that passive
checks are enabled.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Jedrzej

Subject: [Nagios-users] nsca/services issue
I have a question about nsca and service checks. I am running nsca 2.6 and
Nagios 2.5. I have just trying to send a simple test service check to Nagios
to see if I can get the state to change
and it isnt working
Here is what I am trying to do
From the remote machine:
/usr/bin/send_nsca H ian -d ; c /etc/send_nagios.cfg < test
The file test contains:
mike;nmbd;2;ok-just one test
I have configured nsca on the Nagios server and the config file contains:
server_port=5667
server_address=192.168.1.10
nsca_user=nagios
nsca_group=nagios
debug=0
command_file=/usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd
alternate_dump_file=/usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nsca.dump
aggregate_writes=0
append_to_file=0
max_packet_age=30
password=password
decryption_method=10
The send_nagios.cfg contains:
password=password
encryption_method=10
My service check is:
define service{
host_name mike
service_description syslog-ng
active_checks_enabled 0
passive_checks_enabled 1
check_freshness 0
is_volatile 1
max_check_attempts 1
normal_check_interval 1
retry_check_interval1
check_periodnone
contact_groups nagios-admins
check_command check_dummy!2!Critical
notification_optionsw,c,u
notification_period 24x7
notification_interval 120
}
The /var/log/messages file shows the following:
Nov 21 00:09:00 ian nsca[12202]: SERVICE CHECK -> Host Name: 'mike', Service
Description: 'nmbd', Return Code: '2', Output: ''ok-just one test''
Nov 21 00:09:47 ian nagios: EXTERNAL COMMAND:
PROCESS_SERVICE_CHECK_RESULT;mike;nmbd;2;'ok-just one test'
It appears that the external command file is getting the check
but the host
page just sits there saying that the host hasnt been checked. I have tried
several different states and still the same result. I understand that an
active check isnt being performed but I would think that because of the above
"PROCESS_SERVICE_CHECK_RESULT" line that the nagios.cmd file got the message
and the page should be updated with a critical message.
I read in the docs that the check needs to have the date in front of it
but
when I tried that I couldnt get nsca to expand the variable
I have checked
permissions, etc.
So
where have I messed up? LOL.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
