IMO, the no. 1 easy thing you can do to reduce latency if you haven't done so already is to replace your check_ping checks with check_icmp or check_fping . You want to make sure that any checks you have take as little time to run as possible. hth, Jim - This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.

hello, We got a mesh network (every node connected to each other). But how can I use this in the status map?

Re: [Nagios-users] Plugin for HP Proliant Hardware Health Monitoring
[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have been reading this check_hpasm thread and looked at some of the documentation which seems to suggest the plugin is used for monitoring HP proliant hardware that is only running a linux system. Does anyone know of any tweaks or similar plugins that can get the same sort of information from Proliant servers running Windows. Or a plugin that can take the data gleamed from Insight Manager and display it into Nagios. Well, I wrote something like this some years ago, mainly to check fans and temperature. I posted it to the mailing-list and I uploaded the plugins to sourceforge. That was in January 2005. They are in the contrib directory in the nagiosplugins source distribution. You should get hold of an InsightManager CD and copy the MIBs to the directory where your SNMP-client stores MIBs. Then you can use a SNMP-browser (like mbrowse on Unix-systems) to access the MIBs and get an idea of what you should be looking at. Please note that these plugins are very crude - there's probably a more elegant way to access all these MIBs and automate some of the hardcoded stuff in there... cheers, Rainer - This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.

That is a really high latency and seems to imply either that you're starving nagios for resources or you're doing lots of host checks. How many hosts/services are you checking on what kind of hardware? Have you looked at the performance tuning documentation? For a benchmark, I have machines doing just over a thousand service checks every 5 minutes (mostly check_fping) with a max latency of under 5 seconds and average latency of 0.638 seconds at the moment. There's no way to tell nagios that certain service checks have a higher priority over others outside of normal_check_interval/retry_check_interval. The scheduler just automagically figures out what to do based on your config. -- Marc - This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.

Re: [Nagios-users] Create mesh network in status map
Might be a stretch here but why not use a hostdependency group and only alert when x amount off servers don't respond? Description: Host dependencies are an advanced feature of Nagios that allow you to suppress notifications for hosts based on the status of one or more other hosts. Host dependencies are optional and are mainly targeted at advanced users who have complicated monitoring setups. More information on how host dependencies work (read this!) can be found here. http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/xodtemplate.html#hostdependency I might be barking up the wrong dog here, but I think that would do it for you. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of chiel Sent: 26 April 2007 14:23 Cc: nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] Create mesh network in status map And how can I make a relation between them that way? because I have also normal hosts that I monitor that are not part of this mesh. chiel - Original Message - From: Jo [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: chiel [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net Sent: Thursday, April 26, 2007 3:19 PM Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] Create mesh network in status map chiel wrote: hello, We got a mesh network (every node connected to each other).

Re: [Nagios-users] Questions about Status Map
OK, so this is starting to make some sense to me. The reason my status
map looks like crap is because every host and service I own has the
nagios server as its parent.
So now I'm trying to use traceroute to determine the network topology
which leads me to my next question. I've seen the nagios docs that talk
about determining host reachability. It shows distinct routers and
switches with (presumably) a single IP. How do people represent
routers/switches that have different IPs depending on the network their
on? I mean, yes, it is technically one physical piece of hardware, but
it's separate interfaces. So for example
---
| Nagios Server |
---
| 1.2.3.4
|
1.2.3.1 |
-
|Router |
-
4.5.6.1 |
|
| 4.5.6.7
-
|Host A |
-
Technically, 1.2.3.1 and 4.5.6.1 both are IPs for the same router. In
theory, pinging 1.2.3.1 indicates that the box is up. However, it
doesn't guarantee that the interface to Host A's network is up.
As I see it you could either ignore one or the other of the interfaces
on the way to Host A, or you could pretend that each IP on the switch
is a separate host. So Host A has a parent of 4.5.6.1 which has a
parent of 1.2.3.1. I would imagine that this method (multiple host
definitions for a single router box) is the best way.
How do most people handle this kind of thing?
thanks
Mark

You need the parent relationships for Nexsm to work, and with that

Perhaps I don't fully understand the parent relationship stuff.
That's
most for routers and switches which we don't monitor (nor really care

Even if they're not your responsibility it's worth putting routers in
to your Nagios configuration. You don't need to do anything more with
them than ping them to make sure they're alive. It helps in making
sense of your map and greatly helps in ensuring that Nagios won't send
you dozens of alerts when a single router or lan/wan link goes down.
My understanding is that you setup parent relationships between
host entitities (including switches and routers) and for what we
monitor, there are none.
Put the routers in and there will be. The parent relationships are
all about what nodes are in-between your Nagios system and the host
you are monitoring. I don't have responsibility for routers - I still
ping them from Nagios but have Nagios configured so that it won't
alert for routers 'down' - only hosts.
I'll have a look at nagiosmap.
By all means do, but again if you don't have some parent relationships
defined, your 350 hosts will all appear to be connected to the one
parent like the petals of a daisy.

OK, so this is starting to make some sense to me. The reason my status
map looks like crap is because every host and service I own has the
nagios server as its parent.
Parent/child relationships are important, and not just to make your
statusmap look pretty. Also keep in mind that once the parent/child
relationships are added to Nagios, your statusmap may not look the way
you expect it to (if p/c relationships are done correctly). The
statusmap represents the network from Nagios' point of view, not as you
might draw it in Visio or some other application.
So now I'm trying to use traceroute to determine the network topology
which leads me to my next question. I've seen the nagios docs that

Technically, 1.2.3.1 and 4.5.6.1 both are IPs for the same router. In
theory, pinging 1.2.3.1 indicates that the box is up. However, it
doesn't guarantee that the interface to Host A's network is up.
I try to never use physical interface IPs to refer to devices. This is
what loopback addresses are for. In the case of a switch, it's the
Management VLAN IP. If you can't use a loopback for some reason, you'll
probably want to use the IP closest to Nagios. That way, if the
'outside' interface on a device goes critical, Nagios won't necessarily
report the device as down.
As I see it you could either ignore one or the other of the interfaces
on the way to Host A, or you could pretend that each IP on the switch
is a separate host. So Host A has a parent of 4.5.6.1 which has a

Re: [Nagios-users] RRD Doesn't generate a new DB
OK, so it'll run as the user, but it's not creating rrd files by itself? Sounds like nothing is getting through to the map file to attempt translation on, but I could be misunderstanding. Does your PING service (it's a good example to work with) have the performance data on? (process_perf_data 1) Set nagiosgraph.conf debug=5, and tail the log file - you should see stuff going on all the time if its working. Also tail your perfdata.dat file (nagios/var) in another console, you should see data dropping in to there then the file being truncated - give it a while if you don't have many hosts defined, or the check doesn't run often. When stuff drops into perfdata.dat, you should see an attempt to process it nagiosgraph.log - if you get an error like it can't recognise the data, you need to check your map file: # Service type: ping # output:PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 0.00 ms /output:PING.*?(\d+)%.+?([.\d]+)\sms/ and push @s, [ ping, [ losspct, GAUGE, $1 ], [ rta, GAUGE, $2/1000 ] ]; .. is mine, think thats an out of the box setting though, so it should be OK. If nothing appears in perfdata.dat, no performance data is being processed by Nagios - back to the overall config (looks OK to me) and the service config.

Re: [Nagios-users] RRD Doesn't generate a new DB
Bad :-( Perfdata not recognised is usually down to the map file in my experience, unless something screwy is being written to the perfdata.dat. I'm assuming only the PING service is attampting to write performance data, so it may be that another service which you aren't yet concerned with is generating the errors - but I see no successful writes here. Copy it out, edit the copied file and sub it back in when done (good practice for when its working), check and double check your regular expression for PING s perfomance data against what you see appearing in perfdata.dat If thats a direct cut'n'paste though, the perf data of | | | | | is odd, can't say I've seen that - if that's what PING is sticking out as performance data it's strange. Although my perfdata is never empty these days, maybe thats normal if nothing is getting there. ___ Glynn Seymour Network Consultant BBS EMEA-IT UK Bayer plc, UK __ Bayer plc is registered in England under number 935048.

[Nagios-users] Regarding statusmap
Hi, I have one problem regarding the statusmap in nagios. I installed all the libraries required such as gdlib, libpng and linjpeg etc. for the working of the statusmap, as it was there in the documentation and some of you has also suggested to do that. After all the installation procedure still my statusmaps was not working. Next day when i started my Fedora again, it boots up but went to the black screen. Nothing is going on after that black screen. Can anyone tell me the solution for it. How can i get my GUI back from the command prompt, which iam entering by switching to the single user mode at the boot time. Thanks and Regards Mukta Sharma M.S Student, Computer Science.

[Nagios-users] R: PHP parse error in NLG
Hello, sorry for not coming back soon on the issue. I had a forced time off nagios... :-( I solved the problem installing PHP 5.2 as suggested. So thanks for the reply. I have a question about the configuration: I use authentication in nagios web interface, and I use authenticated contacts to give access to only certain hosts/services to users. Example: User johndoe is a contact for server1 and server3 User foobar is a contact for server2 In nagios web interface user johndoe can only access services residing on server1 and server3, while user foobar only sees server2. I expected this to be true for NLG too, but I found that using $ServerFeed_AuthEnabled = 1 and indicating the user/password in the config files, gives user johndoe access to server1, server2, server3. The same apply for user foobar. Am I missing something?

[Nagios-users] 3D status map problem
Hi All, I have a problem with the 3D status map display in Firefox on SuSE Linux 10.2 that I wonder if anyone can help with. I've built and installed the FreeWRL package successfully, and the 3D status map does show up (almost) properly. However, there's a lot of error messages showing up in the Console Display saying: /usr/bin/FreeWRL_Message Could not locate URL for texture (last choice was /nagios/images/logos/imagepak-andrade/this-and-that.png When picking up the aforementioned address in the browser, I can see the image, so there's no access problem.

Re: [Nagios-users] Questions about Status Map
On 26/04/07, Frost, Mark {PBG} [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
How do most people handle this kind of thing?
I'm fairly haphazard in my approach. Sometimes I set up each physical
interface as a host. If, like me, you're not too interested in the
details of the network (you only want to know enough to pass the
problem over to the network team) then I'd recommend only using the
interface(s) on the router which is/are most remote from your Nagios
server.
For example, if we have the following:
nagios---routerinterface10.1.1.3-router-routerinterface10.1.231.3---webapps
I would only bother to set up routerinterface10.1.231.3 and webapps as
hosts in Nagios. If 10.1.1.3 goes down, Nagios will report 10.1.231.3
as 'down' and I simply pass it over to the networks team to work out
which interface/lan/wan/whatever is the problem. The priority where
we (who are not responsible for networks) are concerned is to make
sure that Nagios tells us whether it is a host problem or a network
problem. Also, Nagios won't bombard us with alerts for 'down' hosts
when the underlying problem is with the network.
If webapps has two interfaces, for example an internal one on
10.1.231.4 and an external one on 192.168.34.35 I would monitor both.
I would also set up another nagios server on a standard internet
connection so I can confirm that the web application page is
accessible from the internet. In practice I do this by having a tiny
nagios server at home which polls my corporate web sites using
check_http every half hour or so (sad life I live I know).
Cheers,
Jim

Re: [Nagios-users] nagios service check latency
You need to include the directive which allows service/host checks to be
parallelized. I had that same problem when I set up my first Nagios
install.

Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] nagios service check latency
Ok i have a question about setting priority to
service
checks
since i have a handful of service check checking
clusters of
servers i'd like the priority of those service
checks as
high
as for instance...
I'm running about 120 services.
My Nagios seemed pretty speedy before until recently i dunno what
changes
i made to do this but most of them should've been just to add a few
services.
After i noticed pretty delayed notifications and then some latency i
started making changes and it still hasn't changed all that much
here's my nagios.cfg tho
###BEGIN CFG#
chop
Here's the service template i'm using:
BEGIN SERVICE TEMPLATE ##
define service{
namelocal-service
service_description local-service
use generic-service
max_check_attempts 10
normal_check_interval 1
retry_check_interval1
Here you're telling nagios to check a service 10 times with 1 minute
delay between checks once a service goes down before notifying. This is
a 10+ minute delay before notification. You probably want to lower
max_check_attempts.
END SERVICE TEMPLATE ##
and here's the host template i'm using
BEGIN HOST TEMPLATE ###
define host{
namelinux-server
use generic-host
alias servers
check_command Check_ICMP!1
max_check_attempts 10
Here you're telling nagios to run the host check_command 10 times before
determining the host is really down and notifying. Depending one what
your host check_command is, that could be a problem. For example, if the
check_command is 10 pings, that's 10+ seconds * 10 times or 100+ seconds
during which nagios will do absolutely nothing else except obsess over
this host. It looks like it might only be 1 ping but I don't know if
your Check_ICMP definition actually uses $ARG1$.
check_interval 0
I'd remove this line entirely. I'm unsure what a value of 0 will do but
any host check_interval in highly discouraged in nagios2.
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/xodtemplate.html#host
check_interval:NOTE: Do NOT enable regularly scheduled checks
of a host unless you absolutely need to! Host checks are already
performed on-demand when necessary, so there are few times when
regularly scheduled checks would be needed. Regularly scheduled host
checks can negatively impact performance - see the performance tuning
tips for more information. This directive is used to define the number
of time units between regularly scheduled checks of the host. Unless
you've changed the interval_length directive from the default value of
60, this number will mean minutes. More information on this value can be
found in the check scheduling documentation.

[Nagios-users] Nagios Uptime reports.
Is there a way to generate monthly uptime reports and have them e-mailed to people? Some of our contracts require a specific percentage of uptime and we have to prove that we didn't go bellow the percentage on a monthly basis. Our current monitoring system allows us to generate a monthly report which gets sent to specified e-mail addresses and shows the uptime percentage.

Re: [Nagios-users] Memory Usage per plug-in
Adi, We have found that the answer to this question is dependent upon multiple factors. Total number of service checks is of course one factor, and Nagios 2.5 (the last version we tested) will fail to start at around 24,000 service and host objects combined. We have also found that with typical settings, the top end limit of Nagios running active service checks on a 2 CPU system with 2GB RAM is around 500/minute. Beyond this, we observed a tipping point, where latency crept up to more than 300 seconds and stayed there. This of course depends on the running time of the plugins used, the number of failed checks, and hence the number of retires, the service timeout, etc. Suffice to say that there is not an easy formula that covers all situations. To baseline, you will need to hold many factors constant. Our typical settings will not work for more than 5% of the readers of this list, if that, and I have seen some systems running as many as 800 checks/minute in an optimized state, with low latency. Another limitation to watch out for is the number of host state changes per minute. With event handlers and/or notifications enabled, we have seen Nagios handle 300 or so state changes per minute before latency again becomes a problem. Of course, this depends on the number and speed of the event handlers, and the speed and type of the host check, which we optimize. In Nagios 3.x the host checks will be parallelized, but in 2.x so far, they block all service checks, and so are a major contributor to latency. A way around many of these limits is to use passive checks for Nagios. We have found that on a 100% passive system with typical settings (typical for US, remember), that around 3000 service checks can reliably be processed per minute. This number goes up significantly when a ramdisk is used to house the command pipe, and when NSCAfe is used instead of NSCA to receive and process the checks. If you are interested in commentary on your nagios plugin-writing project, please contact us directly. We often write and enhance plugins for this project, and would be happy to share what we know.

Re: [Nagios-users] nagios service check latency
check_interval 0 I'd remove this line entirely. I'm unsure what a value of 0 will do but any host check_interval in highly discouraged in nagios2. yeah my icmp was already set to 1 ping and the retries was lowered to 2 anyway. I removed the 0 value and set it to blank. Hosts are responding normally tho it still takes about 2 or 3 mins for it to detect which really is fine. but i'm still getting about like 400-700 sec latency on my services. service execution time is only like .5 seconds i'm running outta ideas. i've tried parallelizing all the services i've tried putting the concurrent checks number up. It's not straining my system at all even when i set the concurrent checks to like 100. by the way when i run the -s option in nagios i found this peculiar HOST SCHEDULING INFORMATION --- Total hosts: 18 Total scheduled hosts: 1 Host inter-check delay method: SMART *Average host check interval: 3600.00 sec* *Host inter-check delay: 1800.00 sec* Max host check spread: 30 min First scheduled check: Thu Apr 26 15:04:40 2007 Last scheduled check:Thu Apr 26 15:04:40 2007 SERVICE SCHEDULING INFORMATION --- Total services: 105 Total scheduled services: 105 Service inter-check delay method: SMART Average service check interval: 60.00 sec Inter-check delay: 0.57 sec Interleave factor method: SMART Average services per host: 5.83 Service interleave factor: 6 Max service check spread: 30 min First scheduled check: Thu Apr 26 15:04:50 2007 Last scheduled check: Thu Apr 26 15:05:50 2007 That's a bit high for avg host check interval isn't it?

I'm unsure what a value of 0 will do but any host check_interval in highly discouraged in nagios2. yeah my icmp was already set to 1 ping and the retries was lowered to 2 anyway. I removed the 0 value and set it to blank. Don't set it to blank, remove the directive entirely. Nagios will fail if you leave the directive in with a blank value. Hosts are responding normally tho it still takes about 2 or 3 mins for it to detect which really is fine. Hosts will only be checked when a service on the host fails. This is probably directly related to the service latency for that host. but i'm still getting about like 400-700 sec latency on my services. service execution time is only like .5 seconds i'm running outta ideas. Post an entire host/service definition, not just your templates. by the way when i run the -s option in nagios i found this peculiar HOST SCHEDULING INFORMATION --- Total hosts: 18 Total scheduled hosts: 1 Host inter-check delay method: SMART Average host check interval: 3600.00 sec Host inter-check delay: 1800.00 sec Max host check spread: 30 min First scheduled check: Thu Apr 26 15:04:40 2007 Last scheduled check:Thu Apr 26 15:04:40 2007 That's a bit high for avg host check interval isn't it? Yes, it should be 0.00s but that's what you've specified in some host definition. ;) You should have 0 scheduled hosts. Nagios will automagically run host checks as needed. Anyhow i'm more concerned with the services still. Yes, certainly as that's nagios's main focus as well. There's something fundamental that's missing. I would expect a 286 box to be able to handle that number of checks easily ;) I'd try setting in nagios.cfg -- max_concurrent_check=0 service_reaper_frequency=2 If that didn't make a difference I'd try setting normal_check_interval to 5 in my service definitions. If that worked, lower it progressively. You also specify performance data collection -- process_performance_data=1 host_perfdata_command=process-host-perfdata service_perfdata_command=process-service-perfdata Are these scripts working as expected? If not you could be adding 5 seconds per check to your latency. -- Marc - This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.

You've got an magical eye for things Apparently that 1 host that i accidently left scheduled was the problem... *i think* i also set the rest of the things you told me to like the lower reaper interval. However things are fine and dandy... i really thing it was that host though.
