Re: [Nagios-users] useful oracle checks
I just "check_oracle --login dbname"since this tells me if the server is reachable, if the login prompt is given correctly and if there are any problems, they are raised with the ORA- error message so at all time I know what the exact condition or error of the database is. -h Hari Sekhon Mestdagh Tommy wrote: Hi, I need to monitor an oracle database ( on debian ).

[Nagios-users] Export Nagios Data
Hello, I have Nagios running on a machine and I would like to upgrade it it to a newer version on another machine. Now, we are running Nagios 1.3, and we intend to replace it with a 2.7 one which is hosted on a new server. Is there a way to export the database ( Nagios with mysql ) through the upgrade process, so we can find all of our previous reports ? Thx Riahi Taieb - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

[Nagios-users] cgi.cfg
Dear list readers - I am somewhat new to nagios, but i have had a pretty good experience in building, installing, and configuring nagios to this point. I have built 2.7 on a Fedora Core 6 box - patched to the latest revs of all rpms. I am experiencing two issues, which i am having trouble getting around. The first issue, and probably the most concerning is that whenever i define the cgi.cfg in nagios.cfg and run nagios -v /etc/nagios/nagios.cfg it fails complaining about the first unremarked line in the file - so, i remark that one out, and rerun the check and again it complains about the next unremarked line - this continues until the entire file is remarked out. Now i have checked and i dont define any of the items in the cgi.cfg anywhere else, and i dont define that file more than once. I am really confused why it keeps failing, and why i cannot define things like the authentication in the file (using the sample cgi.cfg to start with). The second issue is alerts, that i am not receiving from nagios. I need to look at this a little more closely, but after installing nagiosweb to make the configuration files a little easier for a jr admin to understand and configure - i havent gotten any alerts - and i DO have 1 system not pingable, etc, so i should be getting 'some' Anyway i would appreciate any thoughts on the cgi.cfg problem Thank you in advance Michael Weiner - Take Surveys.

Re: [Nagios-users] useful oracle checks
I confess I haven't used these yet myself (probably ought to though). The ones I would immediately pick are: check_oracle --tns and check_oracle --tablespace I probably wouldn't bother with most of the others on the principle that if I can't interrogate the tablespaces, I can't connect to the databases either. I'm not sure how the tablespace check would work with auto-extending tablespaces if you use them. I haven't used an Oracle Names server AFAIAA, so I don't know how useful that would be. Wolfgang Barth's book "Nagios" has a section on using the Oracle Instant Client to monitor Oracle Databases which might be worth reading too. Cheers, Jim - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

Re: [Nagios-users] cgi.cfg
My guess is Nagios is trying to parse cgi.cfg as an object configuration file. IIRC, cgi.cfg should be in the same place as nagios.cfg, and NOT entered into the nagios.cfg as part of either a cfg_file or cfg_dir directive. As Jim said, it would help if you post the relevant portions of your nagios.cfg file. Andy.

Re: [Nagios-users] Monitoring Cisco 3750 stack
Hi, what I'm looking for is the state of all members of the stack. Something like the output of "sh switch". I found the oid "1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.500.1.2.1.1" that returns a table with the members and the states of each member. I wrote a little perl script that checks for it.

[Nagios-users] Current state of database support?
Hello, Because of the implementation of other application in Nagios I was looking at support for databases. I see that database support for Nagios 2.0 has been dropped. When I search the web/forums etc I see some topics to address this issue, but they are all more then a year old and I don't know the current state of of this support. What I want to do: I want to be able to add hosts / services from my current application (written in php) to the nagios config for monitoring. Because of the amount of hosts en services my preferred option is to use some kind of database. So can some advice me how to proceed on this.

It doesn't work well. :) Because auto-extending tables tend to live n the edge of their available space, this check will almost always report the table is nearly full, making it pretty useless as an alerting tool. - Take Surveys.

I was too curious to wait. :) In the version of check_oracle shipped with plugins 1.4.3 (and I suspect later releases though I haven't checked), the tablespaces option will report on the usage of currently allocated extents. This is the same logic the Enterprise Manager GUI uses and the net effect for busy tablespaces which are set to auto extend is to make them look like they're permanently on the verge of being 100% full. I've got some SQL that I run as a cron job that takes into account the maximum possible size of the tablespace when it works out the fill percentage, I'll see if I can work it into the check_oracle script. Does anybody maintain it? I suspect it's orphaned at the moment. -- Phil Costelloe Foundation IT, Hermitage Berkshire RG18 9SE - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

Nagios never removes the archived log files nor is there any standard or non-standard addon to nagios that does so that I've seen. You must have some external program that's removing them. logrotate or cron perhaps? Since the archives contain the status history, you'll never have any historical data older than a month. -- Marc - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

Yes, sure you can. You just need to find what's removing the files and disable it. Nagios fully supports historical data up to two years old if you keep the files that long. -- Marc - Take Surveys.

So long as the remote system has sshd running, you can connect (securely) and execute commands on the remote host. Defaults for checking disk, memory, procs, etc. are included for Linux, Solaris, and AIX. Not to mention that installation is a snap. http://www.nagiosexchange.org/Communication.41.0.html?&tx_netnagext_pi1[p_view]=409 Sean -- Sean Keplinger / Visit my Hiking/Backpacking and Projects skeplin AT gmail DOT com / blog at: http://spookyworld.dnsalias.com/ - Take Surveys.

[Nagios-users] No-op external command
I'm trying (for various and sundry reasons) to submit what amounts to a no-op external command. As far as I can tell from http://www.nagios.org/developerinfo/externalcommands/commandlist.php, there are no official no-ops. Is there any hazard in telling the system to "enable notifications" over and over again, that anyone is aware of? Or, failing that, have any better ideas for a no-op?
