Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios: checking actual health of a disk.
I have SMART enabled on my hard disks, and have a plugin downloaded from Nagios Exchange (it requires Python) that parses the SMART output and reports an OK or Bad status.

Hi all, I was wondering is anyone has done this, I am wondering if there are plugins already out there I can use to check the health of Sun boxes and linux boxes. I know 'checking the health' is very vague, since there are a number of things to check.

These look fine (probably). Is 'client' a script or program that you

That's a good start. Did you run your test as the nagios user? Perhaps
your client script accesses some script/program/device that only root
has permissions to use.

Shell Scripting 101: quoting as above is nulls your quotes. You open a "
then immediately close it leaving the rest to be interpreted as
arguments to the echo command. Plus, you want the echo to be the entire
command. What you want for this testing is --
# 'notify-by-pager' command definition

Hi,
You should be able to backslash the quotes you need it to print:
$ echo "\"hi\""
I'm not sure where above you would want them, maybe something like
\"$SOMEMACRO$\" \"$SOMEOTHERMACRO$\" ?

I'm not sure what you mean. Post what you ended up with. Were they lost
because I used double-quotes and you use double-quotes? If so, change
mine to single-quotes.

Nope. If you're using valid nagios $MACROS$ then nagios will do the all
the substitutions before the echo is even called so you should see the
actual full command line exactly as it is run.

Doing what you suggest I see that it IS running the notification,
except that the quotation marks are lost (which my external app
actually needs - so maybe I can double them up?) and none of the
variables have been filled in within the quotes that are there
(perhaps because it was an echo, and the echo command wiill take
anything with quotes as strings?).

Make sure you have log_notifications=1 in nagios.cfg. Then you'll be
able to see in nagios.log whether your notification is being called. If
it is not then it's a simple configuration issue (notifications not
enabled globally, not enabled specifically for that host or service or
for that specific contact).
If the notification is being called but you don't see what you expect in
your notification script, echo the command that nagios is running to a
file to see if it's what you think it's supposed to be --
define command {
command_name my_special_notification
command_line echo "$USER1$/my-notification-script
$SOMEMACRO$ $SOMEOTHERMACRO$" >> /tmp/nagios-runs-me
}
After nagios calls 'my_special_notification', the file
/tmp/nagios-runs-me will contain the full command line that nagios
_would_ have executed if it had really run the command.
If the notification is being called, modify your notification script to
output interesting information to a log file. In all my event handlers
the first thing it does is log the parameters it was called with ala --
LOGFILE=/usr/local/nagios/var/eventhandler.log; export LOGFILE
echo -n `date` . " " >> $LOGFILE 2>&1
echo "winbind service check ($1) ($2) ($3) ($4)... " >> $LOGFILE 2>&1
Whenever there's something interesting happening, I log that --
echo -n `date` . " " >> $LOGFILE 2>&1
echo -n "Restarting winbind service (2nd soft critical state) on $4... "
>> $LOGFILE 2>&1
# Call the init script to restart the winbind server
/usr/bin/ssh $4 'sudo /etc/init.d/winbind restart' >>$LOGFILE 2>&1
I also log if I don't do anything. I log errors from the scripts that I
call from my event handler or anything else that might be interesting. I
presume there's no reason you couldn't do this in your expanded
notification script and you have no real limitations on how verbose you
make the process.

SMS is limited to 120 characters. I don't know, but it makes sense that
notify-by-sms would trim off any extra characters. Perhaps this is the
problem?

This would be explained if this were a host notification and not a
service notification. Is that the case?

The message which comes from nagios is not 160 signs.
Its funny: the sms is like:

Sure, change your host check_command to something that actually works. For the short term, it could be as simple as a check_tcp for the NRPE port. Of course, that wouldn't tell you if the host is down only but it's better than nothing. -- Marc - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

How long are your SMSes? 160 Characters?
Then you simply hit the length limitation for an SMS.

Yep what that's doing is parsing your var/status.dat file to get the
current services and their statuses.
How big is your Nagios installation? (i.e. how many hosts/services?)

As a followup, it looks like (perhaps among other issues) the
s3_poller.php script is timing out.
I've turned on the displaying of PHP error messages and when I put the
s3_poller.php URL in and wait, I eventually get:
Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in
/usr/local/nlg_101/server/sync-files/s3_functions.inc.php on line 248
Looking at that file, this seems to be looking at one of my nagios "var"
files...
preg_match_all("/(?:\n|\r\n)\w*service

Subject: [Nagios-users] problems with Nagios Looking Glass
Hello. I've been trying to use Nagios Looking Glass and have so far
been unable to. I've tried 1.0Pre, 1.0 and now 1.0.1.
When I go to the client URL (http://nagioshost/nlg/client) it sits there
working on it for 30 seconds and gives me back an error page which
includes:
The checksum I received with the feed is invalid compared to my
local check. Network problems may be causing packet loss
The long wait before the error was consistent with behavior in 1.0Pre
and 1.0, but each version has given me different errors (or none at all
I think with 1.0Pre).
I'm running Nagios 2.6 with authentication to the Nagios "share"
directory. I've got both the NLG client and server on the same box
which is the same as the Nagios server itself.
One thing I'm doing differently here (and maybe I can't do this) is that
I put the NLG stuff *outside* of the nagios share directory. I tweaked
my Apache config so that it would find 'nlg' as a separate URL with no
authentication. So the NLG URLs would be something like
http://nagioshost/nlg/client or http://nagios/nlg/server/s3_poller.php
I modified the php include files per the 1.0PRE documentation (that's
still current for 1.0 and 1.0.1, right?) to use these URLs. I'm a
little unclear about authentication here because I wasn't sure that NLG
would need it as it's accessing files directly. That is, since the
entire /nlg URL tree is unauthenticated and I thought NLG would access
Nagios' files directly (i.e. not using the Nagios URLs) no
authentication was necessary.
I can't find any error logs and I'm having some difficulty figuring out
how I might turn debugging on in the code to tell me what I might have
done wrong.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks
Mark

Re: [Nagios-users] problems with Nagios Looking Glass
Hi Mark,
If you enable the debugging option in the client/s3_config_stub.inc.php
file ($Stub_ClientEnableDebugging) to 1, then visit
"http://nagioshost/nlg/client/?debug=yes";, that will generate your
debugging output, but I'm guessing it will go as far as the error it's
already generated in the front-end.
1.0.0#PRE didn't give any error messages apart from "feed download
failed" - that was fixed in 1.0.0.
1.0.1 literally only changed one line of code, so it's strange if it's
giving you a different error to 1.0.0. :S
As a private e-mail, can you send me your config files and the debug
output? (Obviously strip any usernames/passwords out of your config
before-hand!)
Just glancing over your e-mail, is this just an oversight, or is this
actually in your config? - You say you're using the same server as both
client and server, and your client address starts http://nagioshost, but
your server address starts http://nagios - this would cause the delay
you're seeing, but I think I'm being a bit hopeful that this is all it is ;)
As per your question about authentication, the sync'd files are
requested from the normal file-system (when configured), but the poller
still uses a HTTP request - this is something I'm hoping to change in 1.0.2.
FYI you don't have to put NLG in the share directory of Nagios - I've
done exactly the same trick as you did with my server feed, and my
client UI is sitting on a completely different server to Nagios.
Thanks
Andy.

I have also had problems with memory leaks, such that the kernel (2.6.0-42.0.3) reaches the stage of killing processes to try to preserve the system. In my experience the first processes killed are nagios and nsca. Our configuration is relatively large with just under 16,000 services and 750 hosts. As a consequence we run two slave servers which run the checks and report to the master; on the master all checks are passive except local checks. We have only seen the out of memory problems on the master. I had thought that the problems were caused by NagiosGrapher which we were running, but were not using; certainly the problem was reduced by removing that process from the mix. For us the problem seems to start (according to the message log) at about 4:45 in the morning, so perhaps there is another factor as well (cron jobs ?). Any input would be welcome, though I will continue to investigate as I have time. Jonathan Wheeler e-Science Centre Rutherford Appleton Laboratory - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

[Nagios-users] Memory leaks
Hi! (First off: if this should also go to nagios-devel, just yell at me.) Nagios 2.6 and 2.5 have memory leaks. They are not that big that within hours your machine will be swapping, but they degrade performance in other ways. First off, their approximate extent. 2.5 and 2.6 without perl cache have the smallest memory leaks. A fairly busy Nagios server (hardware quoted below) with about 3000 services on about 330 hosts will degrade from 330M used (that's *not* Nagios alone) to 368M used in about 16 hours. Or about 2.4 MB per hour. The very same machine behaves neutral if Nagios is not running, so it's definitely Nagios itself. Activating the embedded Perl interpreter and -cache will increase the amount of lost memory to about 5-6M per hour. In this case, however, sometimes the memory usage snaps back, i.e. some of the lost memory is collected. I've not yet found out what triggers the reclaim. Still, over the course of hours, more and more memory is lost. Still, it's roughly linear memory loss. And finally, there's the advanced permission patch. With that patch, memory leaking skyrockets to about 15M/hour. Now all of this could be alleviated by simply restarting Nagios every night. It's not actually a bugfix but merely doctoring on the symptoms, but still, it's pragmatic. Unfortunately, performance degradation is not just on the memory used front. With increased memory usage, check latency increases. In the worst case, this can mean that latency increases by 120s in about six hours. This has the net effect that for our case, we have to restart Nagios every two hours. For the case of 2.5 and 2.6 without the permissions patch, it's a lot less bad, but still bad enough to require restarting Nagios at least every eight hours. Without all the fancy stuff, we get to restarting Nagios every 24 hours, as described above. Further observations: the permission patch causes latency degradation to be directly correlated to amount of notifications, The more notifications, the quicker things get nasty. For vanilla Nagios, at least it's clear that in whatever way memory is wasted, it also slows Nagios down - a possibility would be a linked list that is walked and gets appended over and over. But I guess those with knowledge of the inner workings of Nagios have more clue about this than I do. The question that remains is, if this can (and will) be tackled before 3.0 is released. A related question is if Nagios 3 will be prone to the same problem. Any thoughts, ideas etc. are appreciated. Regards, Tobias PS: On a whim, I tried running Nagios through/in Valgrind but honestly got knocked over by the amount of info Valgrind spewed at me. PPS: Our setup uses only active service checks, notifications by mail (some of it to SMS gateways etc). All host checks are active yet only are executed if needed (the usual way Nagios works). All host checks are using ping. All plugins have a hard timeout of 10s.

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.

[Nagios-users] different check_command output on host than on server
hi guys, when I execute a certain command on the client itself it is OK, but when executed from the server I get an other output. I have no idea where to look for this, What is different from executing it from the server or on the client itself, or that I'm forgetting? I thought the output on the nagios server should be the same as the output of the script in the client?? script executed on the client (GD6): [EMAIL PROTECTED] a125507]# /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_dell_sensors.pl OK -- Fans=Ok; Hardware Log=Ok; Intrusion=Ok; Memory=Ok; Power Supplies=Ok; Processors=Ok; Temperatures=Ok; Voltages=Ok; script ran from the server with nrpe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] a125507]# /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nrpe -H beevsgd6 -c check_omchassis ALARM: omreport could not obtain user name. -- omreport could not obtain user name.=Error!**; same script ran from the server but on an other machine(GD5) here it does work. [EMAIL PROTECTED] a125507]# /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nrpe -H beevsgd5 -c check_omchassis OK -- Fans=Ok; Hardware Log=Ok; Intrusion=Ok; Memory=Ok; Power Supplies=Ok; Processors=Ok; Temperatures=Ok; Voltages=Ok; I don't know where to look. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks in Advance, Jan Lenaerts - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

Re: [Nagios-users] Event Handlers
Ok I have followed the white rabbit.
I have followed the docs and I have modified the the script to work
the way I need it to work for me.
But still no luck.
After trying allot of stuff I have now changed my config in the .cfg
file and it looks like folloes.
define service{
use local-service
host_name imap-1.rba.ispafrica.net
service_description HTTP
event_handler_enabled 1
event_handler restart-httpd
check_command check_http
}
Then the commands.cfg file looks like follows.
define command{
command_namerestart-httpd
command_line/usr/local/nagios/libexec/restart-httpd
$SERVICESTATE$ $SERVICESTATETYPE$ $SERVICEATTEMPT$
}
But I still dont have any luck with the Event Handlers.

Re: [Nagios-users] Several map views of Nagios
Dear Patrick, Did you mean that we can groups several hosts as one hostgroup and then we can select only to view the hosts in the hostgroup at the Map. Previously I thought the hostgroup is used to define some correspond parameters of several hosts, just know that it was for display purpose. Thank you very much.
