Re: [Nagios-users] is there a way to set host min_check_attempt?

2007-03-26 Thread Thomas Stocking

Hi Dinçer,
Not quite sure I follow your logic, but it looks like you want to 
control what happens with Nagios host checks.
Nagios will check the host if and when a service on that host enters a 
non-ok state. It then executes the plugin that you select as a 
host-alive check. If it comes back with a non-ok status on the first 
attempt, it will try again, up to the max number of attempts. If all 
attempts fail, it sets to host to state DOWN (or UNREACHABLE - see the 
parent directive). It then send a host alert, and notifications, if 
configured.
If it comes back OK, it stops checking the host, and sets it to OK. Then 
you will get a service alert, notifications, etc.

So, one way to be sure that you always ping 5 times when you are 
checking a host is to configure the plugin you use for the host-alive 
check to send 5 pings on each attempt:

$USER1$/check_icmp -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w 3000.0,80% -c 5000.0,100% -n 5
for example.

You could also use a passive check to set the host state. This is a 
pretty advanced topic, but will give you great control over host checks.

One thing to consider is that Nagios 2.x and 1.x use a "blocking" host 
check. That is, whenever a host check is performed (actively), Nagios 
stops doing pretty much everything else. Thus it makes sense to optimize 
your active host checks. The longer they take, the larger the affect on 
overall latency. This will be fixed in v3, or so I have read. I have not 
tried v3 yet :)

I wouldn't say it's similar to Nagvis at all, but Nexsm is also very
well worth a look.

http://nexsm.gridshield.net/Overview.html

It can be a little tricky to install, but once working I think it's
well worth the effort especially if you have quite a few nodes on your
network.

I'd like a simple method to set up an on-call rota so I don't have to
change the contacts for on-call each day.

2007-03-26 Thread Taylor Dondich

I'm working on a project, and it requires feedback from you, the
Nagios community.

What do you not like about the way Nagios handles escalations and
notifications?  What features would you add?  What features would you
change?  What logic would you change, etc?

Let me know, I'm really interested in your feedback and will respond to all.

I got it to work, thank you so much. Recompiling actually didnt change
anything. I just had to modify the cgi.cfg file and remove the extra

Then, there are two options left (I suppose).

1) You have sth wrong with your browser. It might refuse asking you username

only one option left :)

2) On the images which are not shown on the web page, right-click and

For what I know 30 stands for the response time in milliseconds for nagios

60ms is the critical status.

Your command definition as it stands will return a warning status if your
host responds outside of 30ms or there is => 1% packet loss. It will return
a critical status if the host takes longer than 60ms to respond or there is
=>10% packet loss.

Rob



Well from your service definition, I am assuming that the device is taking
longer than 60ms to respond or there is greater than 10% packet loss between
your Nagios Host and the router. What does running

ping 

show you from the command line of your Nagios Host?

Your command definition as it stands will return a warning status if your
host responds outside of 30ms or there is => 1% packet loss. It will return
a critical status if the host takes longer than 60ms to respond or there is
=>10% packet loss.

Also, in your check_ping command definition, you're requesting the host 

respond within 30ms to be classed as up and OK.

 

This seems awfully quick - personally I request 1000ms (1 second) to 

give it a fair amount of time to respond.  If the host/router/whatever 

is busy, it could take slightly longer than 30ms to reply, causing a 

warning (or longer than 60ms to be 'down'.)

[Nagios-users] check_procs with multiple args

2007-03-26 Thread Hari Sekhon

I currently use check_procs a lot, but am finding a limitation in either 
the plugin or my knowledge of it.

I want to check for a process with 3 args and the args can be in any 
order. I don't see how to do this as it takes a string after the -a 
switch this means that I have to have a predefined order for the args.

Is there a way, short of writing my own bash script for this, to do it?

Also, check_procs --help shows -a and --argument-array as the same thing 
but I am not sure how this array is supposed to be constructed as it 
says "STRING" after it.

Does it take an array or does it take a string?
If string then does it use the string like an array.

I have already tried to switch the position of args in the string to see 
if it will make a difference and it does, the plugin does not find the 
process.

Dear All,
Is there any character limits on the configuration files in Nagios?
If so, what is the variable to be changed in the source code in order to
increase this limit?
Nagios version 2.5
