Do I need a different plugin? You can check storage by using check_snmp_storage[1] wrote by Patrick Proy. AIX SNMP agents should provide HOSTS-RESSOURCES-MIB: I've already set some services using this plugins for a customer. You can also use Patrick Proy's plugins to get CPU load (check_snmp_load[2]) and memory usage (check_snmp_mem[3]). Since AIX 5.2, you must enable aixmibd sub-agent to get "Paging Space" statistics (I can publish a plugin that support this IBM-AIX-MIB if you need). > I also want to put a password on this instead of making it public, do I > just change all words that say public to the passphrase I want? Right, you've to modify this string to change the community. Note : with SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c, this community will be transfered without any protection on the network. You must use at least SNMPv3 to get a more secure protocol. AIX snmpdv3[4] agent also support this protocol version.

You may want to try running nsca in --single mode. You can potentially lose some slave checks, but you would never get the high number of nsca processes. We've seen situations where a high number of nsca processes makes the nagios server crawl, slowing other things down. > During this time vmstat shows that memory usage increases slowly, > but it > is all released when the nsca processes run.

IIRC, passive check results are processed by the main nagios process, so shouldn't be responsible for multiple nagios processes. There are multiple nagios processes for parallelised service checks - perhaps you could restrict the number of parallelised checks?

[Nagios-users] Out of memory failures on Nagios master server
My configuration has a master server and 2 slave servers with about 730 hosts and 16000 service checks. All our systems are running Linux. For some time now the master server has been running out of memory between 4:50 and 5:00 such that the server either kernel panics (rarely) or it kills all useful processes. To try and investigate the problem I have been running at commands to run "vmstat 15 160" and "date; ps -ef; sleep 15" (160 times) to record system activity at 15 second intervals for 40 minutes, i.e. from 4:30 until 5:10. This has revealed that the problem is caused by a) nsca processes starting and not being completed (today's maximum count was 4447) until they all suddenly complete at about 4:50. During this time vmstat shows that memory usage increases slowly, but it is all released when the nsca processes run. About 10 minutes later there are many separate nagios processes which do not complete (183); as the nagios process is quite large this fills system memory and swap space which effectively kills the system. You might think, given the time that this is happening, that this is affected by cron, but for this morning I had retimed cron.daily to run at 10:02 rather than 4:02. Has anyone seen anything like this ? I can say from the master server logs that no tests seem to be recorded from about 4:00 onwards; if they system survives they start after that. Any help would be appreciated. The server is a blade server with a single CPU but it is running with hyper-threading on (if that makes a difference); the kernel is 2.6.0-42.0.8 Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi Can i ask people how they have got around the auto adding of hosts to their setup? I have a situation were _sometimes_ we have to build many hosts, ~100, at a time so adding these is a bit of a pain. All checks are the same so i can just add to hostgroups etc. I can shell onto the monitoring box using keys so i can have scripts do this but i wonder how people do it so i can get ideas on how to solve this etc. Or if someone has a script they would share that i can modify that would also be great. something like ./add_host $HOSTNAME type affair thanks - Take Surveys.

The Nagios documentation suggest leaving active host checks on the central server as you normally can't have freshness checking on them.

That's another idea. You can have the "check_host_alive" command run nrpe with args, though it's considered a big security risk. It shouldn't be a problem though is there's no users on the lan and it is properly secured. Note that the additional latency of running nrpe could impact performances if there's a lot of hosts. > How do you define the hosts of the computers in the central server?

Another solution is to use Nagios 3 which has a completely different logic for host checks. You shouldn't have performance impact anymore with a properly set-up Nagios 3. You must keep in mind that's it'S alpha software and can (and likely will) have bugs. Thomas - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

[Nagios-users] Distributed setup - host checking
Hi, I would like to know how people handle host checking in a distributed environment. Assuming the "Central" server is not able to access the computers in the remote sites, I am using passive checks through NSCA to get the active results done by the "Agent" nagios. How do you define the hosts of the computers in the central server? Do you use localhost as the host IP? Do you use freshness checking of hosts in the central server? I had an idea to use scheduled checking of the host on the "Agent" , and send passive host results to the central nagios, if freshness checking discovers the results are not fresh, It runs a script that put "Info: host info is stale", and will exit with the same error code the host is currently in (from the a macro value), I think my way of handling this is wrong, as scheduled host checking must be done on the agent, which is bad for performance. Please share you thoughts/setup, I need some ideas.. Thanks. Marco. - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
