That's normal.  Nagios normally won't run a host check unless a service
check transitions into a non-OK state.

Hi Nelson,



 



This may be due to the following reason.



 



NSclient (Nagios Client tool) may not be installed in the client

machine.

Sure. Take a look at the map page, and you'll see boxes to show or hide
all the hostgroups you've set up.

[Nagios-users] Several map views of Nagios

[Herman (ISTD)]

I learned several commercial software of NMS could defined several views
of Monitoring maps and customize it for certain need. I think it's a
good idea. 

Let say we have hundreds of server to monitor, and it would be very
crowded and quite invisible if we put all the servers in one monitoring
map.
So the idea is to classify the servers/network devices into several
categories such as routers, servers related with App A, servers with App
B. Then PIC for routers will only have to monitor the map with routers
devices, the same thing applies to PIC for application A only need to
monitor the map with App A servers.

Is it possible for Nagios to do several map views ?

Best Regards,

Herman

[Nagios-users] separating important from non-important hosts/services on tactical overview

[Semir H.]

Hi All -

I was wondering if it is possible to not include some hosts/services in the
Tactical Overview page.
We use Nagios to monitor mostly production resources but there are a few dev
and test resources in there as well.
I was wondering if it is possible to NOT have the Tactical overview page
report on warning/critical states for those dev/test hosts/services? We just
want that page to report for the hosts we deem important to us but we still
want to monitor all the hosts/services we do now and have detailed reports
in the services page.

Thanks
Semir

It would have taken about a minute for you to Try And Find Out if it
worked by running it manually yourself. To answer, yes, it works. You
don't need both of them because they're identical.

Do you have multiple nagios daemons running? Looks like you do. Stop
nagios, verify that all processes are gone, kill any that might remain,
remove /usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.lock if it still exists and restart
nagios.

You'll have a file with all the command{} definitions in it (typically
named commands.cfg or checkcommands.cfg). One of those command{}
definitions will be named 'check-host-alive'. That command definition
will specify a command_line that will be run to check if the host is
alive. That command_line, substituting in proper variables as required,
would be the command you should be testing as the nagios user.

It's probably something like 

define command{
command_namecheck-host-alive
command_line$USER1$/check_ping -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w
3000.0,80% -c 5000.0,100% -p 1
}

In which case, as the nagios user, you'd run
'/path/to/nagios/libexec/check_ping -H  -w
3000.0,80% -c 5000.0,100% -p 1

Where  is the value for 'address' specified in
the client host{} definition.

If your active servers are sending check results passively to the
standby nagios server, so the one log that matters is the one that the
passive standby nagios server logs, because, if you ever needs to grow
your distributed nagios active pool, you should just point the ocsp
command to the standby nagios server for it to log all your active
checks passively.

We have 11 distributed active nagios servers sending (but not logging)
check results to one central nagios that logs everything and keeps all
the services aggregated within the same Web-GUI for the NOC people to
ticketing who they might need to. Notifications and logging are handled
by the central server.

A better suggestion is in fact to run apache as it's own user. Letting
nobody run all your daemons was a poor security concept and has been
abonded for years on almost any system I know of.

It's like break one and get the rest of them for free.

If I understand you correctly, you are referring to the check-host-alive command
in the hosts.cfg file. I'm sorry if I sound like and idiot, but there is no
check_host_alive plugin in the libexec directory. What command should I run in
this case? 

I did run the plugins on the server and client as the nagios user, and both 
came back without errors.

I am interpreting this to mean that the Host status for the remote host
is CRITICAL but the services on the host, checked by NRPE, show as OK.
If that is the case then the check_command in the host{} definition for
the client does not accurately determine the status of the host. What is
that check_command and does it work if you run it as the nagios user
from your nagios machine?

Yes, just take a look at your notification command definitions. If it's using

Are you using Apache-2.x? I googled for the error and that would appear
to be possible. The auth configuration changed in 2.x from 1.3 --

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/howto/auth.html

The sample .htaccess file on that page implies that you need something
like --

AuthType Basic
AuthName "Restricted Files"
AuthBasicProvider file
AuthUserFile /local/nagios/etc/nagios.users
Require valid-user

Hope one of those two helps.

I am interpreting this to mean that the Host status for the remote host
is CRITICAL but the services on the host, checked by NRPE, show as OK.
If that is the case then the check_command in the host{} definition for
the client does not accurately determine the status of the host. What is
that check_command and does it work if you run it as the nagios user
from your nagios machine?

[Nagios-users] Nagios CGI authentication woes.

[Peter L. Berghold]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hi folks,

Just put up a new installation of Nagios (version 2.6) and it's not like
I haven't done this before so there is obviously something I'm overlooking.

When I set up authentication I did the same things I've done before (I
think) but it ain't working.  When I try to log in I see in the Apache
error logs:

[Mon Jan 22 16:18:26 2007] [error] [client 68.37.227.52] access to
/nagios/cgi-bin/status.cgi failed, reason: verification of user id
'peter' not configured, referer: http://monitor.berghold.net/side.html

and in the cgi.cfg file I've done this:

authorized_for_system_information=*
authorized_for_configuration_information=*
authorized_for_system_commands=*
authorized_for_all_services=*
authorized_for_all_hosts=*
authorized_for_all_service_commands=*
authorized_for_all_host_commands=*

which is not quite where I want to be but I've gotten there through
desperation at this point.

The cgi-bin directory (/local/nagios/sbin in my case) has an .htaccess
file that looks like this:

- -rw-r--r-- 1 apache root  104 Jan 22 15:58 .htaccess

permissions wise and has the following contents:

AuthName "Nagios Access"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /local/nagios/etc/nagios.users
require valid-user

The nagios.users file has the requisite userids in it with passwords
generated by htpasswd.

I'm baffled at this point. From my experience this should work but it
isn't.  Is there something I'm overlooking?

Re: [Nagios-users] consistent service logging across hosts

[Mark]

Wait, that would not work.  I have a standby nagios server accepting
passive check info for all the services that the active nagios server
is monitoring.  They are both writing to logs at the same time.

I think I'd need something where I could send the availability logs to
a third party, so to speak.

[Nagios-users] Remote Linux Client Appears Down But Services Are Monitored

[Kaplan, Andrew H.]

Hi there --

I have Nagios 2.6 with plugins 1.4.5, and NRPE 2.6 installed on a server that is
running Fedora Core 5. The remote client in question is running NRPE 2.6 with
plugins 1.4.5 on a Fedora Core 2 operating system. NRPE is configured to run
with the -n option on the server as well as the client. NRPE is configured to
run on the client via the /etc/rc.local file with the following syntax:

/usr/local/nrpe/bin/nrpe -n -c
/usr/local/nrpe/etc/nrpe.cfg -d

The remote client appears in the web interface as down, but its monitored
services appear as OK. I checked the remote client to make sure the services in
question
were those that were on the client, and everything appears to match up. I ran
the plugins on the client from the server using check_nrpe from the command
line, and the output from the commands came back without a problem. I also ran
the plugins directly on the client without any problem. 

The web interface, for some reason, is seeing the client as down even though
from the command line it appears the client is fine and easily monitored. What
has caused this problem, and how can I fix it? Thanks.

I've tested monarch, and with wome tweaking you can generate configs for
distributed and central nagios instances. You just tell monarch the file
you are generating, and with something like cronned ssh/scp/rsync you
can upload the config to your distributed server and reload the new
config in an automated way.

Not necessarily that configuration. Central nagios can act as a
fail-over active nagios instance if you configure it correctly. Like, if
for some dark force, your distributed nagios instance fails to monitor
correctly, the central instance can detect that (freshness_checking),
and issue the active check instead of waiting any longer for the passive
check to come up.

Also, you don't need to stick with nsca to send results from distributed
to central nagios. You can do that with syslog-ng too. At my location,
we have hibrid syslog-ng/nsca distributing passive check results to both
instances of central nagios, that act redundantly. Fail over is coming
soon :)

A better suggestion is in fact to run apache as it's own user. Letting 
nobody run all your daemons was a poor security concept and has been 
abonded for years on almost any system I know of.

It's like break one and get the rest of them for free.

You may be connecting to Nagios using nagiosadmin, but that is a user 
under your webserver, not an OS user.
If your Apache runs under the user "nobody", that is the user you need 
to add to the nagioscmd group.

Yeah. The key here is that you need the user your webserver RUNS as,  
NOT the user you log into your webpages as. You can find this by  
looking at your httpd.conf file, the User directive. Usually it is  
either apache or www, but this can vary. once you have found that,  
use the command you tried above with that user to add it to the  
nagiocmd group.

Re: [Nagios-users] nagios

[Brian Loe]

I'm using the following check command (in checkcommands.cfg):

 # 'check_dns' command definition
 define command{
 command_namecheck_dns1
 command_line$USER1$/check_dns -H www.

define command{
 command_namecheck_dns2
 command_line$USER1$/check_dns -H www.

Shouldn't that work to verify OUR DNS server is up and replying? Do I
need both of them or shouldn't just the one work?

Also, when looking at Service or Host Alert History I see a bunch of this:

Program End[01-22-2007 11:35:01] Lockfile
'/usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.lock' is held by PID 8228. Bailing out...

copied and pasted from documentation in nagios created user nobody and
nagios '

But when i log into nagios i am logging in as nagiosadmin not nobody or
nagios i tried adding nagiosadmin with this command:

*/usr/sbin/usermod -G nagiocmd nagiosadmin*

I'm coming into this discussion late, and haven't read all the back
messages, so I apologize if this has already been asked, but is the
user your webserver runs under in the nagiocmd group?

I'm coming into this discussion late, and haven't read all the back  
messages, so I apologize if this has already been asked, but is the  
user your webserver runs under in the nagiocmd group?

Please read the documentation for the section titled 'External

This will be supported under nagios-3. This is a significant change and
is unlikely to be backported. See the PDF at
 for more information.

Nagios is not creating the .tar.gz files, nor is it rotating the logs as
above. You need to figure out what is and stop it. My guess would be
logrotate. Nagios must have the uncompressed files in the archive
directory with the proper names (nagios handles this) for historical
reporting.

Yes, you're correct.

Yes, if your notification command supports it. For example, /bin/mail,
the standard mail program used in notifications, expects multiple
addresses to use multiple -c or -b args --

 mail [-iInv] [-s subject] [-c cc-addr] [-b bcc-addr] to-addr...

In your example, you could pass $CONTACTEMAIL$ to a wrapper script that
split the comma separated addresses, used one as the to-addr and created
appropriate -c args for the rest before calling /bin/mail.

The other recommendation for multiple contacts in a group is usually
easier for most.

[Nagios-users] Nagios Modification for No Host Dependency?

[Jay Radcliffe]

Hello,

I have been running a fairly large Nagios setup (40,000 service checks
4500 hosts) and I wanted to see if anyone has worked on a certain
"problem".

When nagios runs service checks and gets no response from a service
check, it stops working other service checks until it can determine if
that host that had the timeout is up or not. After reading the
archives I know that other people have ran into this situation. The
reason it puts all service checks on hold is due to the feature of
dependencies. If there is a host down then nagios assumes that there
could be other hosts/services dependent on that host, thus it stops
checking services until it can determine if that host is up. Previous
posts have indicated that this is a feature, not a bug. While I agree
that this is usually the case there are some special circumstances.

In my situation there are no host dependencies. I would prefer nagios
to keep running service checks while it runs through the host checks
to see if the service check timeout is due to the host being down. I
wanted to see if there is a patch or source code modification that
would take this action. Obviously I would prefer it to be something
configurable in the nagios.cfg file (ignorehostdependancy=0/1) but
that might be harder then just making a source code tweak. Before I
went digging in the source, I wanted to see if anyone else had tried
this.

[Nagios-users] Using the Trending Graph

[Alejandro Imass]

Hi, new to Nagios so please bear with me.

I queried the list archives and there were some similar threads but
several with no answers so I hope I have better luck.

Nagios Version: 2.5, from distro binary distribution
Platform: Debian Linux Sarge 3.1r4 Stable

Problem:
- If I run the graph with First assumed host state: Unspecified I get
100% Indeterminate

- If I run the graph with First assumed host state: Host Up I get 100%
Up

- If I run the graph with First assumed host state: Host Down I get 100%
Down

- If I run the graph with First assumed host state: Unreachable I get
100% Unreachable

etc..

Obviously something is not working properly. I want a trend of the
different states in time so I can give my ISP some info on where the
problem is and see if we can discount their failures from our bill ;-]

Important note and possible lead to the root cause:

I used the default logging options in my config:
log_file=/var/log/nagios2/nagios.log
log_rotation_method=d
log_archive_path=/var/log/nagios2/archives

Nevertheless, this configuration did NOT store the archives in archives
directory as expected so I changed to:

log_archive_path=/var/log/nagios2/

This did NOT work either because the nagios web interface was expecting
log names like:

nagios-01-19-2007-00.log

instead of the ones nagios has been generating which are of the form:

nagios.log.X.gz

I decompressed all the gz files and create soft links so the web
interface could display past notifications:

poseidon:/var/log/nagios2# ls -l
total 140
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root   adm12 2007-01-22 09:54 nagios-01-19-2007-00.log
-> nagios.log.4
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root   adm12 2007-01-22 09:53 nagios-01-20-2007-00.log

lrwxrwxrwx  1 root   adm12 2007-01-22 09:52 nagios-01-21-2007-00.log
-> nagios.log.2
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root   adm12 2007-01-22 09:50 nagios-01-22-2007-00.log
-> nagios.log.1
-rw-r--r--  1 nagios adm  9265 2007-01-22 11:17 nagios.log
-rw-r--r--  1 nagios adm 52767 2007-01-22 06:25 nagios.log.1
-rw-r--r--  1 nagios adm 45689 2007-01-22 06:25 nagios.log.2
-rw-r--r--  1 nagios adm 10469 2007-01-21 06:25 nagios.log.3
-rw-r--r--  1 nagios adm 10419 2007-01-20 06:25 nagios.log.4


It is my guess that my log problem is related to the trending problem
given some of the threads that I read on the user's mailing list
archives.


Any help greatly appreciated. Perhaps there is some extended
documentation on the trending interface and on the log file
configuration from that included in the package install?

Thanks,
Alejandro Imass

Make sure you click Reply All on your e-mail client, otherwise the list
can't benefit from our replies. I get in a hurry and forget to do this
sometimes as well. Some get really mad about it, but just wanted to
remind you. :)

Hmm, yeah then I'd make sure you check the logs and see what's going on
because that seems ok. I don't think it would matter, but make sure you
don't have a space between your members.

For example you have:
membersnagios, monitor

Try without a space:
membersnagios,monitor

I don't know if spaces after the commas matter. The examples show no spaces.

That seems ok to me. Like you mentioned, check your mail logs and see
what's going on. Also, check your nagios log (mine is located
at/var/log/nagios/nagios.log), and see if the actual alerts are being
generated.

Aside from that, your contact setup looks ok to me. Except, where is
your nagios contact definition? You showed the contact "monitor," but
not "nagios." I'm not sure how Nagios handles non-existent contacts
being specified within the contactgroup. It should error out.

Dumb question, but you have checked your configurations? nagios -v
nagios.cfg from within your configuration directory?

[Nagios-users] Adding Contacts

[Artyom Khmelnitsky]

Sorry for posting again but was not able to reply to [EMAIL PROTECTED] via 
email for some reason.

Here's the Contact issue continued. I'm sure that I'm just missing something 
simple, just don't know what.

Thanks for the help Max, I did just that. Added them under contactgroups 
and then also in contacts.cfg seperated by a comma for the contact. For 
some reason, no emails are being sent still.

here's what I have in my contactgroups.cfg

define contactgroup{
contactgroup_name localadmin
alias Site Administrator
members nagios, monitor
}

here's my contact.cfg

define contact{
contact_name monitor
alias AYK monitoring
host_notification_period 24x7
service_notification_period 24x7
service_notification_options w,u,c,r,f
host_notification_options d,u,r,f
service_notification_commands notify-by-email
host_notification_commands host-notify-by-email
email [EMAIL PROTECTED]
}

Any ideas what may be wrong or why they are not being sent? I'll check 
the mail logs, but the email account does work.

[Nagios-users] check_rrd plugin

[Steve Tatlow]

Hi,

I am trying to monitor thresholds in certain RRDs. I have added my nagios
command group to the cacti rra directory, this has allowed me to run the
./check_rrd.pl plugin as user statlow. However, nagios is reporting no
output in the web interface. I was wondering if anyone could point me in the
right direction?

It's work in our installation.
But, I don't find no one web config tool support this. :(

It's not complicated.

Look schema:

Central Host (location1 + location2)
^^
||
||
location1location2

You making service_template_locations and host_template_locations. On
central host and on locations it's different templates
(active_check_enable 0 and 1 correspondingly)
All checks for locations based on this templates.

Next, you must setup nsca on central host and send_nsca on
location{1,2},
configure on location{1,2}:
obsess_over_services=
ocsp_command=
obsess_over_hosts=
ochp_command=
and disable direct notification on locations -- only central host
sending notifications.

Also, good idea make checks on location{1,2} for nagios on central
host (over nrpe) and make eventhandler in this check for enabling
notification directly on location[1,2}, when nagios on central host
dead.

eventhadler example:

#!/bin/sh

That's done by another part of the OS, for example udev.

Basically you configure how device links are created for hot-plugged 
devices.

You'll have to tell us the OS and its version at least... or look up the 
documentation for your system, or ask the mailing list / support / frum 
for your OS.

> Another question, is it common to run nagios as root ?

Depends.

I strongly adviso to not run Nagios as root - only processes that really 
need root permissions should be run as such, and Nagios definitely does 
not need root access to your system.

Possibly, if you have some in-house coders that can take a look at it, or if
you're prepared to spend a bit of cash to get it fixed. One cheap way of
getting it done is advertising it as desired functionality at whatever local
university/high school you have and make a competition of it. The first one
to send in a properly working patch that does what you want gets a Nintendo Wii
or something.

Re: [Nagios-users] Distributed Monitoring

[John Longland]

Yes you can.
 
Do a google for distributed monitoring.
 
Basically it caomes down to having the one nagios configured as a slave.
It then passes all its info to the main Nagios. The services that are
monitored
on the slave nagios, are configured as "passive" on the main Nagios., but
the
data is still displayed with all the other "active" check-data on the same
screen.
 
One thing that I did:
Because the data from the slave gets passed on NOT on request but passively,
if the slave nagios dies, the main will not know about it. So my
slave-nagios is actively checked
with a ping by the main-nagios.

Dears,

I have one nagios server working in my company, and I need
to add another nagios server to monitor another servers in other subnets,

I don't know if there's any solution to have 2 nagios servers(1 central
nagios) and 1 monitor screen... it's mean the second server will send all
check results to the central nagios.

 

 

Thank you in advance

May be sudo could solve this problem but not permanently, since sudo
only add root rights to user for certain period of time.
Is there any way to make devs such as serial line and USB controlled by
certain user ?
Another question, is it common to run nagios as root ?

I've checked it every now and then and found nothing unusal.
While switching around 2.5/2.6 with and without patches, I've
added a graph for memory usage and noticed that there probably is
some sort of memory leak at least in 2.6 (without patch).

Here's the graph so far:

http://eric.schwarzvogel.de/~klausman/nagios-perf-4/memusage-week.png

That inital drop is a restart I did by hand.

I'm currently testing 2.5 sans patches to see if this leak was
introduced with 2.5 -> 2.6.

Hm. I was afraid you'd say that. You think it's wortwhile trying

You shouldn't create it yourself - Nagios creates it as required.
Just make sure the "rw" directory has read/write permission to the 
Nagios user and start Nagios.  You should get a nagios.cmd file in there.
