Thanks Lars, still struggling in between, to get the ngraphs working for my
Check_nt services.
I tried what you said and i got the output data, but how to change it in the
ngraph definition? That seems to be not all that easy.
For example:
check_nt -H ip.ad.dre.ss -v USEDDISKSPACE -l c -p 12489 -w 90 -c 95
Will give the output:
c:\ - total: 3.95 Gb - used: 2.44 Gb (62%) - free 1.51 Gb (38%) | 'c:\ Used
Space'=2.44Gb;3.55;3.75;0.00;3.95
If I understand it correct it's the code in graph_perf_regex ([0-9]+)MB
that needs to match or read the output perf data from check_nt e.g | 'c:\
Used Space'=2.44Gb;3.55;3.75;0.00;3.95
define ngraph {
graph_legend Used Space
graph_perf_regex ([0-9]+)MB
graph_perf_regex ([0-9]+)Gb would match the above output's first column.
graph_value MBused
hide yes
rrd_color 00a000
rrd_plottype AREA
service_name Filesystems
}
Another example is the Check_nt Memory used
| 'Memory usage'=1367.25Mb;3588.48;4037.04;0.00;4485.60
Compared to output from Check_mem (native plugin)
| /=2848MB;17278;17268;0;17358 /boot=16MB;18;8;0;98
/dev/shm=0MB;170;160;0;250
And the Ngraph definition for the native plugin looks like this:
define ngraph {
graph_legend Memory Used
graph_perf_regex MemUsed=([0-9]+)%
There's a '%' character in the expected regular expression,
but there's no '%' character in the above output, hence it
doesn't match.
graph_value MemUsed
hide yes
rrd_color 00a000
rrd_plottype AREA
service_name Memuse
}
What do you think, or are there anyone else that knows how to changes this
so that I can get the perf data to be picked up by ngraph?
I think you might need to read up on regular expression matching:)

Hi to all,

I have been trying to find out how you get the graphs for monitored
service on Windows/Nsclient++.
It is working fine for the locahost (FC9) Memory, load, procs and users.
I added a windows machine with NSClient++, I added the service Ping to
both localhost and the windows machine, and the graphs are showing up
fine. But when I add Memory, procs, load service to the windows machine
no graphs shows. How come it works with ping for both localhost and
Windows machine? Even though I made sure that the service_description is
the same as for the localhost
I am about to go insain, please help? I know this belongs under
NagiosGrapher mailinglist, and I posted there as well, but I got 0
answers there, hoping that someone can help me here.
I'll just assume that you remembered to restart/reload
both NagiosGrapher and nagios when adding stuff in config.
There might be a difference in the performance data handed
back by NSClient as compared to the native check plugins.
The check_load, for instance, can be run manually. Now run the
check_load for the Windows boxes (whatever it's called) and
compare the output, especially the output to the righ of the '|'
character, i.e. the performance data delimiter. If they are not
the same, they wont fit the same graph definition.
Min you, I have no experience with NSClient at all, but still.

[Nagios-users] host-down notification can take 50 mins to be sent
Guys
I'm trying the latest stable 2.x version (2.9) and on top of the 2 already
existing default host templates I added a 3rd one since the documentation
states that there is no limit.
I added a host and started monitoring. When I took it down it took between 2
- 5 mins for the host down notification to come in.
However, later on I rebooted again and this time nothing came in. The nagios
log showed nothing about wanting to send a notification either. The box came
back without any
notification.
I took it down again later and waited - after 50 minutes I got a host down
notification. When I brought the host back I almost immediately got a host
up notification.
I removed one of the the templates to change the recursion level of the host
templates from 3 to 2 and tried again. I did 3 tests and all came back fine
this time. I always got the notification
within 5 minutes max.
Then I added the 3rd template back again to see whether it had to do with
that but now I can't reproduce this. I did 2 tests and both were fine.
I don't feel that I can trust nagios now though. I've been using it for a
few years now since version 1.2 and I've never seen this behaviour before.
However, I've also never used more than 1 host/service template. This time I
wanted to make more use of the object inheritance logic to shorten my cfg
but somehow I feel it causes problems.
How deep is the template recursion for most of you folks ?
Here are the templates I was using when the 50 min delay happened
Hosts :
# Host templates
define host{
namegeneric-host
notifications_enabled 1
event_handler_enabled 1
flap_detection_enabled 1
failure_prediction_enabled 1
process_perf_data 1
retain_status_information 1
retain_nonstatus_information1
notification_period 24x7
register0
}
define host{
namegeneric-linux
use generic-host
check_period24x7
max_check_attempts 10
check_command check-host-alive
notification_interval 120
notification_optionsd,u,r
register0
}
define host{
nameprod
use generic-linux
contact_groups sysadmins,psst
register0
}
define host{
namenonprod
use generic-linux
contact_groups sysadmins
register0
}
Then I use either the prod or nonprod template for all my hosts.
same with services :
# Service templates
define service{
namegeneric-service
active_checks_enabled 1
passive_checks_enabled 1
parallelize_check 1
obsess_over_service 1
check_freshness 0
notifications_enabled 1
event_handler_enabled 1
flap_detection_enabled 1
failure_prediction_enabled 1
process_perf_data 1
retain_status_information 1
retain_nonstatus_information1
is_volatile 0
register0
}
define service{
namegeneric-checks
use generic-service
check_period24x7
max_check_attempts 4
normal_check_interval 5
retry_check_interval1
notification_optionsw,u,c,r
notification_interval 60
notification_period 24x7
register0
}
define service{
nameprod
use generic-checks
contact_groups sysadmins,psst
register0
}
define service{
namenonprod
use generic-checks
contact_groups sysadmins
register0
}
Here I also use prod or nonprod as templates for my services.
I'm gonna test the more tomorrrow but I'm worried that if a host goes down I
might not get notified again until 50 mins later or maybe never who knows ?
It doesn't seem to behave the same way every time but as far as I see it the
service checks are every 5 minutes so within that time frame I should get a
notification.
Parallel checks is turned on as well.
Has anyone seen similar delays ?

Re: [Nagios-users] How to set the sourceaddress for all checks?
You cannot. Your OS's TCP stack determines what source IP to use; the base IP on the interface used to reach the destination network. Thanks to all your clarifications and suggestions - actually there were redundant routes on this host which resulted in unpredictable source-addresses when running the checks.

Re: [Nagios-users] problem nagios snmp with windows machines
Thanks Max for the how-to, i read it and is very easy, and works for me.
How i can set all the snmp command with the correct syntax. For example:

-C publica -w 90 --c 100 -T stand
1 CPU, load 6.0% 90% : OK
and that works fine. but when do that:
debian:/usr/lib/nagios/plugins# ./check_snmp_int.pl -H 192.168.137.1
-C publica -w 90 --c 100 -T stand

Well, to start, you have to make sure SNMP is installed on the Windows
clients. If you don't already have that part done, you do can add the
following through Add/Remove Windows Components in the Control Panel.
Management and Monitoring Tools - SNMP
If you want to change the community string from public to something
else, and you want to change any settings go into Services and choose
properties on SNMP Service on the Windows hosts.
That said, you're going to have to read up a bit on some things. I don't
know where there is a step-by-step guide for this, but it's not that
hard to do. By making sure you installed SNMP on the clients, and then
by using these plugins, you should be able to work your way through
things. This implies you understand how Nagios works first.
http://nagios.manubulon.com/
http://nagios.manubulon.com/snmp_windows.html
Once you get them downloaded and installed, make sure you can get one of
the plugins to execute from your libexec path. For example:
# /usr/lib/nagios/plugins check_snmp_load.pl -H HOST -C COMMSTRING -w 90
- -c 100 -T stand
4 CPU, average load 0.5% 90% : OK
If that works from the command line, you can go ahead and start working
on configuring Nagios. If it doesn't work, then you need to check and
make sure the scripts are executable, and owned by whomever is running
them, etc.
Create the service:
# SNMP 'Doze CPU Load
define service{
use basic-service
namesnmp-doze-cpu
notification_interval 0
contact_groups itdepartment
notification_optionsc,r
notification_period 24x7
service_description CPU Load
check_command snmp_doze_cpu!90!100
host_name windowsclient1,windowsclient2
}
Create the new check command:
# 'snmp_doze_cpu' Windoze CPU load check
define command{
command_namesnmp_doze_cpu
command_line$USER1$/check_snmp_load.pl -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C
COMMSTRING -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$
}
Verify Nagios likes it.
# nagios -v nagios.cfg
Fix any errors it complains about. Follow this method for all the other
SNMP checks you want to use across these plugins from Manubulon.
Again, this implies you understand Nagios. If you don't, then I suggest
you take some time to try to read the docs about how the basics of
Nagios work. This isn't any different than creating a regular service
check, or a host check. It's just doing it across the SNMP protocol.

Max

If yes, where please :-) You cannot. Your OS's TCP stack determines what source IP to use; the base IP on the interface used to reach the destination network. Actually, some versions of ping do allow you to set the source address. The version in iputils package allows you to set the IP via -I address or interface name.

Re: [Nagios-users] problem nagios snmp with windows machines
Hi,
All the syntax of all the scripts can also be found at the home page of the
project : http://nagios.manubulon.com .
And, as Max Hetrick said, you can always do a script -h to have some
offline help.
Some options are common to all scripts (hostame and snmp information), but
that's only a small part of all available options.

Hi,
All the syntax of all the scripts can also be found at the home page of the
project : http://nagios.manubulon.com .
And, as Max Hetrick said, you can always do a script -h to have some
offline help.
Some options are common to all scripts (hostame and snmp information), but
that's only a small part of all available options.

Objet : Re: [Nagios-users] problem nagios snmp with windows machines
Thanks Max for the how-to, i read it and is very easy, and works for me.
How i can set all the snmp command with the correct syntax. For example:
debian:/usr/lib/nagios/plugins# ./check_snmp_load.pl -H 192.168.137.1
-C publica -w 90 --c 100 -T stand
1 CPU, load 6.0% 90% : OK
and that works fine. but when do that:
debian:/usr/lib/nagios/plugins# ./check_snmp_int.pl -H 192.168.137.1
-C publica -w 90 --c 100 -T stand
Unknown option: T
Usage: ./check_snmp_int.pl [-v] -H host -C snmp_community [-2] |
(-l login -x passwd [-X pass -L authp,privp) [-p port] -n name
in desc_oid [-i] [-a] [-r] [-f[eSyY]] [-k[qBMGu] -g -wwarn levels
-ccrit levels -ddelta] [-o octet_length] [-t timeout] [-s]
--label [-V]
debian:/usr/lib/nagios/plugins#
whet i delete the T option the same error view:
Do you had the correct syntaxt for all this command, and i don't know
that all this command don't works monittoring on windows machines:
check_snmp_boostedge.pl
check_snmp_css.pl
check_snmp_linkproof_nhr.pl
check_snmp_nsbox.pl
check_snmp_vrrp.pl
check_snmp_cpfw.pl
check_snmp_env.pl
check_snmp_load.pl
./check_snmp_load.pl -H 192.168.137.1 -C publica -w 90 --c 100 -T stand
this is OK
check_snmp_process.pl
check_snmp_win.pl
check_snmp_css_main.pl
check_snmp_int.pl
check_snmp_mem.pl
check_snmp_storage.pl
Thanks Max for the help
Muchas gracias y perdoname por no saber tanto inglés.

Can you helpme way how-to, how to implement monitoring with nagios way
snmp to windows machines step-by-step .
Well, to start, you have to make sure SNMP is installed on the Windows
clients. If you don't already have that part done, you do can add the
following through Add/Remove Windows Components in the Control Panel.
Management and Monitoring Tools - SNMP
If you want to change the community string from public to something
else, and you want to change any settings go into Services and choose
properties on SNMP Service on the Windows hosts.
That said, you're going to have to read up a bit on some things. I don't
know where there is a step-by-step guide for this, but it's not that
hard to do. By making sure you installed SNMP on the clients, and then
by using these plugins, you should be able to work your way through
things. This implies you understand how Nagios works first.
http://nagios.manubulon.com/
http://nagios.manubulon.com/snmp_windows.html
Once you get them downloaded and installed, make sure you can get one of
the plugins to execute from your libexec path. For example:
# /usr/lib/nagios/plugins check_snmp_load.pl -H HOST -C COMMSTRING -w 90
- -c 100 -T stand
4 CPU, average load 0.5% 90% : OK
If that works from the command line, you can go ahead and start working
on configuring Nagios. If it doesn't work, then you need to check and
make sure the scripts are executable, and owned by whomever is running
them, etc.
Create the service:
# SNMP 'Doze CPU Load
define service{
use basic-service
namesnmp-doze-cpu
notification_interval 0
contact_groups itdepartment
notification_optionsc,r
notification_period 24x7
service_description CPU Load
check_command snmp_doze_cpu!90!100
host_name windowsclient1,windowsclient2
}
Create the new check command:
# 'snmp_doze_cpu' Windoze CPU load check
define command{
command_namesnmp_doze_cpu
command_line$USER1$/check_snmp_load.pl -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C
COMMSTRING -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$
}
Verify Nagios likes it.
# nagios -v nagios.cfg
Fix any errors it complains about. Follow this method for all the other
SNMP checks
Re: [Nagios-users] How to set the sourceaddress for all checks?
Howdy, Actually, some versions of ping do allow you to set the source address. The version in iputils package allows you to set the IP via -I address or interface name. I don't have a machine I can test the exact situation described, but I believe it will work as desired. That's nice but that doesn't help with the network based nagios-plugins any, which was the OP's goal. I didn't say it was impossible to do at all, just not with the standard nagios plugins. Duh. I was thinking you could define it as an additional parameter in the command config. And since check_ping is a C plugin instead of a script, modifying it is definitely outside my abilities! My apologies, and thanks for the pointer. Since I've learned something already, do you think the boss would let me go home now?

[Nagios-users] Help optimizing nagios for when things go wrong
Hi all, I'm having a big problem with nagios service check latencies. When the network is in normal operation, with few hosts or services in critical states, everything goes smoothly, however, today we had some problems and there were a large amount of nrpe checks timing out after 10 seconds. In this situation the service check latency sky rocketed to around 12 minutes! We have a grapher system, parsing perfomance data into RRD databases, and due to this latency the rrd databases weren't being updated. This happened for a few hours, not just while notiications were being sent, until I removed the services from the config files. Does anyone have any tip on how i can prevent this from happening? Below you can find the output of nagios -s and nagiostats. I don't have a nagiostats output when we had lots of critical services. But i can try and reproduce the conditions if it is of use. I'm very interested in keeping the latencies to a minimum, even if things go havoc!

Re: [Nagios-users] what do you use for pager?
I work with a lot of different ways of contacting people, and they all have their ups and downs. My favorite is to have Nagios call me with the alert read via text-to-speech. I have it call my cell, which I sleep with, so it wakes me up, but not the wife and kids. I can then respond with the phone keypad. The downside is that the responses are simple acknowledge or pass, and I can't annotate the alert. My second favorite is pagers. USA Mobility sells very nice pagers, with a full qwerty keyboard. The Motorola pagers are very nice.Responding is super-simple, since you can just select the response from a drop-down, and you can add comments very easily. But, I've seen problems when you're in an area with sketchy coverage. The pager will work fine, until the battery gets low, then it won't have the power to get a signal. But it'll have enough power to service the normal case, so it doesn't complain. Most of the time, I'm in downtown Denver, so it's not a problem, but other people I work with are outside Omaha, and they run into this problem maybe 3 or 4 times a year. It's frustrating enough that I need to have a back-up. Email and SMS are just too high volume for me. I definitely use both, but I only pay attention to them when I'm awake. Otherwise, I'll be woke up 12 times a night to have someone tell me my loan has been approved (or worse, but this is a family-oriented mailing list). I also *LOVE* IM. I have a super-secret GMail account that only Nagios knows about. I have my Blackberry wake me when it gets a Google Talk message on that account. But, my software can't track which alert you're responding to when using IM, so you have to type in the alert ID, which in my case is a 7 digit number. That's pretty tedious at 2AM. True SMS requires that, too, but not if you're just using an SMS-to-email gateway. I read your email yesterday, but I don't have much to add re: smartphones. I love my crackberry. The Treo is very nice. The Windows Mobile stuff is also very nice. *shrug* If I can get phone calls, email, Google Talk, SSH and play a few dumb games while waiting for the bus, I'm happy. My 5 year old Blackberry can do that. -Dave Jeremy C.

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios Looking Glass Creating Templates
Hi Eric, You don't need to create a separate template to only show specific hosts - what you're looking for is a custom filter (which will get added to the filter hosts drop-down, whichever template you're using.) First off I take it you're using the latest 1.0.6 version? If so, see the filters.txt file in the distribution - that's got some instructions and examples on the different types of filters you can create. You need to create a host-specific filter.

Re: [Nagios-users] FW: NSClient++ on windows machine
Thanks Lars... I have done a lot of reading :=) but I still don't get it
right, though I think I am very close.
I made some changes, but for some reason it still doesn't match, where do I
do wrong? Below are my settings, outputs and results.
Is anyone able to see what is wrong?

Re: [Nagios-users] host-down notification can take 50 mins to be sent
On 15/06/07, stucky [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Actually, flapping is turned off globally in nagios.cfg and although it's still turned on in the host template it shouldn't matter right ? No, my understanding is that the global setting overrides everything else (I've never turned it off globally myself though). I turned it off here as well. Might as well. 1. How can a host be flapping if it's down ? Flapping can be detected on any change of state down-up or up-down. How it works is documented here: http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/toc.html (look under advanced topics). Anyway, from what you're saying, it sounds like flapping isn't your problem. 2. Are most of you guys on here using flap detection and has it been causing this kind of problem for anyone ? Well I do, obviously. I guess lots of others do as it is important in preventing getting storms of notifications if a host or service is flapping. If you don't have the f notification option, it can sometimes be confusing to see the notification that a service has gone down, but not get one to show it's come up again. One problem with having flap notifications is that Nagios might detect that the host or service has stopped flapping at any odd hour - if your notifications are going to an on-call pager for example you can end up waking up your on-call engineer unnecessarily. As ever it's up to you to decide what your priorities are. 3. If it was flapping shouldn't I have seen this in the log? Yes. You'll see it in the alert history for that host (or service). Another thing to try when you get this kind of behaviour is to set check_for_orphaned_services to 1 in the main nagios config file. I've never tried having a template use another template. I'm not saying it shouldn't work, it's just not something I would feel comfortable doing. I'd be interested to hear a definitive answer as to whether that's a good thing to do or not myself as it would come in handy sometimes. cheers, 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.

[Nagios-users] Fwd: host-down notification can take 50 mins to be sent
-- Forwarded message -- From: stucky [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Jun 15, 2007 11:17 AM Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] host-down notification can take 50 mins to be sent To: Jim Avery [EMAIL PROTECTED] Jim I'm confused 1. Nagios 2.9 comes with flapping turned off globally by default : # Values: 1 = enable flap detection # 0 = disable flap detection (default) enable_flap_detection=0 2. It also comes with check_for_orphaned_services=1 3. Most importantly it comes with a localhost.cfg file that has 2 nested host templates from the start. One called 'generic-host' and one called 'linux-server' which uses 'generic-host' Then it has a host description that uses 'linux-host' so we have 3 levels of recursion right from the start. It does the same thing with service templates. I assume you must not have looked at the defaults at all or just changed it back to just one template. I never used more than one before either but since the default configs suggest it I figured it'd be ok. Anyone else here uses object inheritance with multi-level recursion ?

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios Looking Glass Creating Templates
Hi Eric, That error is the standard can't find the server, for one of the following reasons: - Access denied - Page not found (404) - Internal server error (503) For a guess, you haven't changed the password in the .htaccess file (or Apache's httpd.conf) that you're using to secure your NLG server. Try your old password again. Failing that, enable the debugging option in the client/s3_config_stub.inc.php file, (including setting display_errors to on) then run http://your_nlg_server/s3_client.php?debug=yes. That'll tell you the error. Andy. Eric Hernandez wrote: I changed it in the Client-Side, i tried first changing it in the Server Side but it would not work. I guess its not syncing.

I use nrpe on most of the systems but this system I'm trying to monitor is a RHEL 3 server and I can't update it or it won't be supported and I can't seem to find an old rpm of nrpe that will work, so I need another way to run check on it so I'm trying the check_by_ssh.

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios Looking Glass Creating Templates
Andy, I will try to use the debugging in the future. What I have been doing to make LookingGlass work since I started using it Yesterday Was to run php index.php from the shell on the server in the client directory.' And than it works fine after that. I did this again since changing the password and it works now. I believe that my problem has to do with it not syncing from server to client. What permissions should my client directory have. Also if i create another filter in the server side it does not replicate to the client so again i think its an issue with syncing. How can i test syncing ?

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios Looking Glass Creating Templates
Hi Eric, You can check the sync'ing using the debugging feature - it will say file xxx out-of-date, sync'ing with server... OK etc. It's impossible to test properly through the shell - as there are a couple of views which are loaded through Ajax - which isn't supported by either a shell script or the Lynx browser. You also cannot debug it through a shell script as you need to be able to pass a variable into the request. As for permissions, you need the following for the user the web-server runs as (if you use NLG's client and server on the same machine, then both sets of permissions apply): on the server-side: - read access to the whole of the server/ directory - write access to the server/index directory - read access to the Nagios var/ directory on the client-side: - read access to the whole of the client/ directory - write access to the root of the client/ directory - write access to the client/sync-files directory Andy.

[Nagios-users] gcc4.2 and nagios-snmp-plugins
Hi, I'm running Nagios 2.9 on FreeBSD/amd64 7. The official FreeBSD port of nagios-snmp-plugins indicates that the software is broken with gcc 4.2. My attempts to compile it indicate that, yes, it's broken. While I could install compat6x and a FreeBSD 6.x package of nagios-snmp-plugins, and then brutalize it into working for me, I would really like my nice clean new server to at least start its production life without such a hack in place.

Re: [Nagios-users] Monitoring Windows XP Professional Machines
Richard, Having just gone through this myself, I feel qualified to answer :-) First off, I started trying to use NSClient++ with Nagios using the Nagios 3.0 documentation. After some experimentation I found that there are a number of places where that documentation is incorrect or leaves something important out. Consult the documentation on the NSClient++ site for accurate info on setting up NSClient++. NSClient++ will only listen on port 5666 (the NRPE port) if you have enabled the NRPE module by uncommenting it at the top of the nsc.ini file. If you've enabled the base nsclient module (also by uncommenting it at the top of the nsc.ini file) it will listen on port 12489. I found that the command for enable the system tray was wrong in the Nagios 3.0 documentation as well. At least it was wrong for the 2.7 version of NSClient++. I can't remember exactly what the string was to install it, but it's different from what the Nagios 3.0 docs say. I found that when I tried to install the system tray, it gave me odd errors. I really didn't need the system tray so I don't install it anymore. I think when you install the NSClient++ service and change the service to allow interaction with the desktop, you find that when checks are run you get brief command windows popping up then disappearing on your desktop which can be rather annoying.
