Re: [Nagios-users] Return Code 127

Check the remote server logs for error messages. I checked the HP-UX 11.11 box and the syslog.log file had the following entry: Host 0.0.0.0 is not allowed to talk to us! It seems there's a bug in HP-UX or you have some extremely odd firewall installed. This is supposed to print the ip-address of the connecting host. I checked the nrpe.cfg file and under SERVER ADDRESS, I have nrpe bound to client's ip address, and under ALLOWED HOSTS, I have several addresses, including the Nagios 2.6 server, that are permitted to talk to NRPE on the client. Quick and dirty hack: Add 0.0.0.0 to the list of allowed_hosts. This will make it work but will most likely also make it possible to query the host from any other server on the network. -- Andreas Ericsson [EMAIL PROTECTED] OP5 AB www.op5.se Tel: +46 8-230225 Fax: +46 8-230231 - Take Surveys.

[Nagios-users] Performance issues, too
Hi! Recently I have run into the very same performance issues as Daniel Meyer (or so it seems). However, I'm not quite sure about it. Here's the gist of it. Currently, service check latency slowly creeps up. As it is now, it starts out at a little over 1s and after about 12 hours it's in the area of about 90s. It keeps climbing after that.

[Nagios-users] Questions about scheduling
Hi! I have a few questions about scheduling in Nagios. - How does the scheduling queue work? From the docs it seems the whole queue is held up as soon as a host check is necessary. As far as I know, Nagios parallelizes checks, so my question is if the current checking thread is held up only or if all of the checks are stopped immediately? - If the whole set of workers is stopped, this would mean that a failing check would result in an immeidate host check which in turn holds up all the queues until it is complete. Does it really work this way? - How much performance overhead do service dependencies generate? I have quite a few NRPE checks and all of them depend on the NRPE dummy check I always define. Does this stall checking by any considerable amount? Thansk for any help, Tobias - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

Lots of people know. The answer is ofcourse that you should read and
understand the manual before asking questions here. The Nagios config
documentation really is quite extensive.
Perhaps you missed this particular snippet when configuring?
---%---%---%---
One important thing to note is that by default, Nagios will use the most
current hard state of the service(s) that is/are being depended upon
when it does the dependeny checks. If you want Nagios to use the most
current state of the services (regardless of whether its a soft or hard
state), enable the soft_service_dependencies option.
---%---%---%---
There are lots of other goodies in the docs.

What's your _longest_ normal_check_interval for services? The longest check_interval is 86400 seconds. It's a SSL cert freshness check. I figured it wasn't necesseary to check that more often than once a day. I also have check_intervals of 3, 5, 15, 20, 30 and 1440 seconds. The latter is also a cert freshness check which is lower because the customer wanted it to be that short. Try changing the really long intervals to something shorter or commenting them out completely and see what happens. Checking a certificate is not a particularly heavy operation so it doesn't matter much if you run it ever 5 minutes. On the server side it just gets handed out from cache, so it's not heave there either. If you have the various normal_check_interval's specified in templates, try setting them all to 5 minutes and let Nagios run over-night. If this interferes with some fragile services on the network (webservers whose sessions don't expire, fe), disable active checks for those services during the testing period. (yes, this might seem braindead, but I really need to know if this bug is still in Nagios). *Or* it is indicative of a misconfiguration on my part. If the latter is the case, I'd be eager, nay ecstatic to hear what I did wrong. Here are a few of the config vars that might influence this: There has been a slight thinko in Nagios. I don't know if it's still there in recent CVS versions. The thinko is that it (used to?) calculate average service check interval by adding up all normal_check_interval values and dividing it by the number of services configured (or something along those lines), which leads to long latencies. This normally didn't make those latencies increase though. Humm... Well, the numbers sure do get whacky after a restart: first it skyrockets for about five minutes, then plummets to 1s. From there it works its way up the way I described. Are the first checks of things being scheduled with unreasonably long delays? Fe, a check with 3 minute normal_check_interval being scheduled an hour or so into the future. Total Services: 2836 Services Checked: 2836 Services Scheduled: 2758 Active Service Checks:2836 Passive Service Checks: 0 All services aren't being scheduled, but you have no passive service checks. Have you disabled checks of 78 services? Oops, forgot to mention that. Yes, a server farm is being rebuilt currently. As I didn't want all the host check timeouts to make matters much, much, worse, I disabled them entirely. Ah, that explains it then. It shouldn't matter, but unless the experiment I suggested above turns up anything useful, would you mind commenting them out and testing that? Hardware is a dual-2.8GHz Xeon, 2G RAM and a 100 FDX interface. LoadAvg is around 1.6, sometimes gets to 1.9. CPUs are both around 40% idle most of the time. I see about 300 context switches and 500 interrupts per second. The network load is neglible, ditto the packet rate. The way these figures look I don't see a performance problem per se, but maybe I have overlooked a metric that descirbes the usual bottleneck of installations. Are the CPU's 64 bit ones running in 32-bit emulation mode? For intel cpu's, that causes up to 60% performance loss (yes, it really is that bad). Sheesh. Yes, it is a 32-bit installation. I only ever bothered with 64-bit installs on Opteron hardware. I might look into migrating to 64 bits, then. So the CPU's are 64-bits? Humm... 64-bit mode would boost available resources quite a bit, but as you just enabled HT you should now have 3 extra CPU's (Xeon's are dualcore AFAIR) which

In the case you posted on your map, it would indeed be faster to start walking in - out. However, if the closest parent had been up it would have been the other way around. Anyways, I *think* nagios checks in-out. Either way, it's important for a host check to return OK *immediately* when it finds that the host it's checking actually *is* ok, which is why I wrote check_icmp and let it have a check_host mode which does just that. The original default hostcheck (I think it's still the default, btw) would wait a minimum of 5 seconds no matter if the first ping came back ok after 5ms. Since all other checks are stopped, this causes quite a bit of slowdown. When I think about it, it would indeed (especially with check_host) be faster to start unreachability checks with root-hosts and then following children down to the targeted host since we would that way encounter a minimum of host check timeouts. It's programmatically slightly trickier though, as you'd have to walk it backwards from the problem host, push each parent host to a stack and then pop them from that stack when you do the actual checking. I'll look in this and see if a patch is necessary and, if so, if I can come up with one. -- Andreas Ericsson [EMAIL PROTECTED] OP5 AB www.op5.se Tel: +46 8-230225 Fax: +46 8-230231 - Take Surveys.

Dont think that nagios uses that information to rebuild it into a child list... That might be the solution to why did nagios send me so many notifications today: consider those host relations: nagios - router - router - switch - server1 to server n (up) (up) (down) (dummy) (up...) I had a failed leased line today. The switch in that scenario was up due to a dummy check which always replies ok, the router was down. I got a host down notification for each of the servers Must be because nagios started to check from the servers to the nagios host, and found the switch to be up and runnnig.

[Nagios-users] Server/Router with more than 1 interface
Dear all,
I have some servers and routers that have more than 1 interface, and
each interface has IP Address. I would like define a host is alive if
all of its interface ip address are available via check_ping.
So I define as following, but if I shut down the interface with ip
10.254.8.2. Nagios still think the host as alive, since Nagios just
detect the IP 10.16.20.120 as the indicator of the host. Any workaround
to make Nagios aware of both IP Addresses/IP Address ? Any suggestion
will be highly appreciated.
Thank you.
define host{
use generic-host; Name of host

This is one of those rare cases where host dependencies may come into
play.
But I would add the interfaces as PING service to the host or use SNMP to
check the real interface status. Something like:
# 'check_snmp_int' command definition define command{
command_namecheck_snmp_int
command_line$USER1$/check_snmp_int.pl -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C $ARG1$
-n $ARG2$
}
Getting the proper interface names can be a daunting task with some
routers.

The remote client uses inetd (without tcp wrappers) and here is the configuration in the inetd.conf file: nrpe stream tcp nowait bin /usr/local/nagios/bin/nrpe -c /usr/local/nagios/nrpe.cfg -inetd Solaris requires the name of the server program and then the arguments, which include argument 0 (the name of the program). So that would be : nrpe stream tcp nowait bin /usr/local/nagios/bin/nrpe /usr/local/nagios/bin/nrpe -c /usr/local/nagios/nrpe.cfg --inetd Not sure if HP-UX inetd.conf works the same way.

Here is the text of the script: /usr/local/nagios/bin/nrpe -n -c /usr/local/nagios/nrpe.cfg -d I'd say that you either want to run as a daemon or run under inetd, not both.

Re: [Nagios-users] Schedule Downtime w/o authentication requirement
No, you didn't. The last link under Configuring Nagios in the documentation table of contents clearly says Configuring authorization for the CGIs. Read it! http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/cgiauth.html Authentication On Secured Web Servers If your web server is located in a secure domain (i.e., behind a firewall) or if you are using SSL, you can define a default username that can be used to access the CGIs. This is done by defining the default_user_name option in the CGI configuration file. By defining a default username that can access the CGIs, you can allow users to access the CGIs without necessarily having to authenticate to the web server.. You may want to use this to avoid having to use basic web authentication, as basic authentication transmits passwords in clear text over the Internet. Important: Do not define a default username unless you are running a secure web server and are sure that everyone who has access to the CGIs has been authenticated in some manner! If you define this variable, anyone who has not authenticated to the web server will inherit all rights you assign to this user! -f On Tue, 19 Dec 2006, Subin Shakya wrote: Date: Tue, 19 Dec 2006 10:30:06 -0800 From: Subin Shakya [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Andreas Ericsson [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] Schedule Downtime w/o authentication requirement Andreas, Thanks for your advice.

Re: [Nagios-users] URGENT REPOST: CHECK_NRPE: Received 0 bytes fromdaemon ErrorMessage
I would say that you need to use inetd, OR an init.d script, but not both. If you try to then you'll get errors when they try and start up. Your 'unable to read output' error seems to indicate that you have a timeout. I don't know what plugin you are attempting to run remotely, but check to make sure that the timeout on check_nrpe (A), on the nrpe.cfg file (B) and for the remotely run plugin (C) are set as CBA. Your error message seems to be timeout A. Another possibility is that your check_nrpe is running in non-ssl mode, but your nrpe daemon is running in SSL mode... I notice that you have given the -n option (non-SSL) in your init.d definition, but not in your inetd.conf definition! Are you using -n in your check_nrpe? Pick one and use it throughout...

Re: [Nagios-users] Using $ in password
I ran into a similar issue when using the check_snmp plugin and my
ultimate solution was to write a small wrapper shell script with the
password hard coded in it and call that as your check command.
Example one line script called check_httpp
check_http -p $1 -I $2 -t 120 -a username:passsword
then define your check command:
define command{
command_namecheck_httpp
command_line$USER1$/check_httpp $ARG1$ $HOSTADDRESS$
}
then define your service:
define service{
use generic-service
host_name
service_description YYY
contact_groups ZZZ
check_commandcheck_httpp!61002
}

# 'check_httpp' command definition
define command{
command_namecheck_httpp
command_line$USER1$/check_http -p $ARG1$ -I $ARG2$ -t
120 -a '$ARG3$'

Normally, doubling the $ sign and eclosing the statement in single

works fine.

[Nagios-users] Using $ in password
Dear All,
I have a simple question. What should I do to include the
character $ as
one
of the password characters in the check command?
Here are some required information:
1- OS FC 5
2- kernel 2.6.18-1
3- Nagios version 2.5
4- The command definition
# 'check_httpp' command definition
define command{
command_namecheck_httpp
command_line$USER1$/check_http -p $ARG1$ -I $ARG2$ -t
120 -a
$ARG3$
}
5- The service configuration
define service{
use generic-service
host_name
service_description YYY
contact_groups ZZZ
check_command check_httpp!61002!192.168.1.4!:33$77
}
When I execute the command manually it works.
Any help will be much appreciated
Regards

Re: [Nagios-users] Server/Router with more than 1 interface
Hi Hugo, thank you very much for your suggestion.
Currently, I do the same thing with :
define command{
command_namecheck_interface
command_line$USER1$/check_snmp_cisco_ifstatus -H
$HOSTADDRESS$ -C $ARG1$ -i $ARG2$
}
However, is it possible to change HOST status in Status Map to DOWN if
one of the ip address could not be contacted ?
Best Regards,
Herman

I have some servers and routers that have more than 1 interface, and

if
all of its interface ip address are available via check_ping.
So I define as following, but if I shut down the interface with ip
10.254.8.2. Nagios still think the host as alive, since Nagios just
detect the IP 10.16.20.120 as the indicator of the host. Any
workaround
to make Nagios aware of both IP Addresses/IP Address ? Any
suggestion
will be highly appreciated.
This is one of those rare cases where host dependencies may come into
play.
But I would add the interfaces as PING service to the host or use SNMP
to
check the real interface status. Something like:
# 'check_snmp_int' command definition define command{
command_namecheck_snmp_int
command_line$USER1$/check_snmp_int.pl -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C
$ARG1$ -n $ARG2$
}
Getting the proper interface names can be a daunting task with some
routers.

[Nagios-users] New condiguration not loading
Hi all !!! Just saw something very weird for the first time since I have installed my distributed Nagios system ( 2.4 ). ( Running on CentOS4.0 ) I needed to take out 2 hosts. But after taking them out of my minimal.cfg and restarting nagios, I still see that these hosts are been scanned ! Do I need to remove another file ?? Thanks ! John - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
