Thanks, i think ill try creating a dummy object, i was not aware of the 
check_summary plugin, but it seems reasonable to rely on that for the 
farm status.

Can you show --

- The error from your web server log
- the permissions on ~nagios, ~nagios/sbin and ~nagios/sbin/*; they
should all be 755 nagios:nagios at least.
- the group membership of your web server

SELinux is known to be broken in FC2. You do have it disabled?

[Nagios-users] how to test?

[B. Cook]

I am trying to figure out how to test sending notifications to my telephone.

It is a nokia 6126 and I am trying to send to the email address my 
provider has given me, and I am using the epager notifications.

Sending using the default epager sends me two messages for each 
notification due to the spacing and such of the message.

Anyway what I am looking for is a way to send test messages that would 
have real data, so that I can figure out the best way to format it for 
my display.

Is that possible?

[Nagios-users] Contacts.cfg

[Do-young Jung]

Hi all, I just set up Nagios, after installing all the configuration
files, with the sample ones as well, I do not see an
"usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/contacts.cfg" file, nor do I see an
"Objects" folder under etc.

Is there something I am missing?  Or is this file that I have to create
from scratch?

I ran the command like so, "make install-config", shouldn't this have
installed all the sample config files?  If not, can someone send me
theirs? =)

 

Much thanks!

[Nagios-users] Simple Host Monitoring - ICMP

[Sean Keplinger]

I have Nagios running on Linux monitoring around 500 hosts on our network. 
For most of those hosts, we only need to know if they respond to a ping. 
Since I've read that enabling "active host checks" may cause performance 
problems, I made an "ICMP" service and assigned each server to it.

This works great save for one problem: If a host fails to respond to the 
ICMP service check, it instantly jumps to the host check (which is also a 
ping) and times out after 1 1/2 minutes (or 10 host check pings with 10 
second timeouts).

What I need is for it to behave like a standard service check, that is to 
obey by the rules of the retry_interval. Is this possible?


Thanks,
Sean

Yes and no respectively...

Nagios-2.x sample config files are only bigger.cfg, minimal.cfg,
checkcommands.cfg, miscommands.cfg, resource.cfg, cgi.cfg and
nagios.cfg. There is no contacts.cfg nor is there an Objects directory
created. bigger.cfg and mimimal.cfg are example files that contain _all_
the object directives (contact, host, services, etc). You can split each
object type out into its own file if you like but it's not necessary.

It is behaving like a standard nagios-2 service check. If any service on
a host returns a non-OK result, the host is checked immediately. If the
host check fails, it goes critical immediately. I would advise disabling
host checks for those ping-only hosts to get the behavior you desire.
Nagios-3 introduces the behavior you are looking for.

I will look forward to upgrading to Nagios 3.

In the meantime, to disable the host check, I just leave the check_command 
blank for those hosts, correct?

So during an outage, I will only receive a "service is critical" 
notification for the ICMP service?

More precisely, don't include the check_command directive at all in the
host{} definition.

[Nagios-users] Simple SMS alerting

[Ton Voon]

Hi!

Just wanted to make you aware of a simple way of getting SMS alerting  
from your Nagios system. For Opsview, we've been working with a  
company called AQL (http://aql.com) who provide an SMS gateway. We've  
been speaking to their technical guys and David Precious, a perl  
developer who has written SMS::AQL (http://search.cpan.org/dist/SMS- 
AQL/), to get really easy communication with AQL's systems.

You can read about it on our blog site: http://altinity.blogs.com/ 
dotorg/2007/07/sms-alerting-vi.html

There's also a script to download, which can then provide you with  
the mechanism to send your alerts via AQL.

Enjoy!

Ton

Re: [Nagios-users] Version problem

[Peter Brown]

Gagan 

In the Fedora RPM (I'm guessing that was what you used) there is a
nagios.conf file located in /etc/httpd/conf.d/ dir. I would guess that
you are making changes to the main Apache httpd.conf file for
permissions, and this files orders are conflicting with those
directives. Eliminate one or the other...

Or maybe its something else... :)

[Nagios-users] Digest Method

[Fred]

I was wondering if Nagios has a configuration setting that would send
errors grouped into one email?

I added some website checking and ended up with around 600 services.
100 of those services were Warnings and 50 were critical.

By the next morning my email client was locked up with around 5000
emails in it.

If I could get nagios setup to only send 1 email with all the current
errors/warnings every 5 minutes, it would not lock up my email account,
but let me check all of our websites, etc.

Thanks in advance.

Sincerely,
Fred

Peter I installed nagios from source.
   
  I am able to access nagios through /localhost/nagios/.  But not the 
/localhost/nagios/cgi-bin/
   
  The only thing I changed in the /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf was I added the 
scriptalias and thats it.  Is there anything else I need to add in the 
httpd.conf file?

[Nagios-users] check_http output

[Nagios]

Hello

is there any way to change check_http plugin output .
here is my output :
HTTP OK HTTP/1.1 200 OK - 918 bytes in 0.012 seconds

but I want to have different output based on service names.
like : host_name: HTTP OK HTTP/1.1 200 OK - 918 bytes in 0.012 seconds

check_snmp does this but not check_http.

Thanks

Nagios doesn't have the capability built in. It will send a notification
immediately as necessary. However, your notification program can be
anything at all so it's a fine place to create your own notification
logic via scripting. Some people have already done the work for you ;) I
don't use it but NAN
(http://www.nagiosexchange.org/Notifications.35.0.html?&tx_netnagext_pi1
[p_view]=309) seems to be just what you're looking for.

Re: [Nagios-users] Version problem

[Peter Brown]

Gagan

If that is true, then you didn't follow *all* the directions...

Re-check your documentation entitled "Setting Up The Web Interface". You
need the ScriptAlias, two directory statements and a share alias. Plus
you need to setup htpasswd files and such. You still have some work to
do, but re-read the documentation...it's all in there.

Best of luck.

Peter I installed nagios from source.

I am able to access nagios through /localhost/nagios/.  But not the
/localhost/nagios/cgi-bin/

The only thing I changed in the /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf was I added
the scriptalias and thats it.  Is there anything else I need to add in
the httpd.conf file?

In the Fedora RPM (I'm guessing that was what you used) there is a
nagios.conf file located in /etc/httpd/conf.d/ dir. I would guess that
you are making changes to the main Apache httpd.conf file for
permissions, and this files orders are conflicting with those
directives. Eliminate one or the other...

Or maybe its something else... :)

With these numbers one should not use normal email for volatile things. At 
least I would recommend against it.

I would use the firefox plugin to babysit such a volatile environment.
But that is just me. (In fact I would not babysit such a darn thing but go 
in and do some serious troubleshooting with a nice submachinegun. ;)

You could always setup something like mailman and let it do the digests 
for you.

Or send them to a dummy email box, parse them with procmail and use a nice 
parser to process the procmail log to make your digest for you.

Re: [Nagios-users] Digest Method

[Fred]

Thank you very much for the responses.

I have already made an automatic bounce parser that loads email failures
into an Oracle database using flex/yacc, so I like the parsing idea.
But seeing how much time I have, I will probably go the easy route.

Thanks again.

[Nagios-users] NRPE times out after 10 seconds

[Masoud Tabrizi]

All,

Using NRPE we manage to monitor a few servers in China. The traffic goes
through our WAN and all probes seem to be working fine except the
check_logfiles; Have noticed that during the time applications are used,
check_logfiles gets timed out. I have set the timeout argument to 420 yet in
the notification email it says that NRPE timed-out after 10 seconds. 

 

/opt/csw/libexec/nagios-plugins/check_logfiles -t 420 -f
/home/nrpe/config/myconfig.conf

 

Running it locally on the host works fine!

 

I have checked the network and there is no indication of latency; all other
probes are working fine.

 

Any help is appreciated!

 

Regards,

Masoud

[Nagios-users] Perfdata/nagiosgraph hiccup frustration

[Marlier, Ian]

Hey, all --

Strange little problem that I'm trying to figure out.

I've got nagios 2.5 up and running, installed from the RPMs in opensuse
10.2.  I've enabled the service-perfdata options, and am sending service
perfdata to a file.

I'm using nagiosgraph, called via the
service_perfdata_file_processing_command, to process the
service-perfdata file into RRD files.

All seems to be working fine, for the most part.  Except for one little
thing...

Nagiosgraph is able to parse and insert the data in these lines:
1184788008||xenhost3.wdc.studentuniverse.com||CPU Load||Load : 0.01 0.06
0.06 : OK||
1184788012||xenhost11.wdc.studentuniverse.com||CPU Load||Load : 0.00
0.00 0.00 : OK||
1184788017||xenhost4.wdc.studentuniverse.com||CPU Load||Load : 0.04 0.03
0.00 : OK||

But it doesn't do anything at all with this one:
1184788284||xenhost0.wdc.studentuniverse.com||CPU Load||Load : 0.23 0.24
0.21 : OK||

No RRD file is created, no data is inserted, etc.

The extra strange thing is that this _was_ working.  I did a restart of
the server yesterday afternoon, and the files seem to have stopped
updating after that restart.

All of these perfdata lines are a result of the same service in my
service configuration (the machines are in a single hostgroup, and only
one check is set up for that hostgroup).

The nagiosgraph map definition is this:
# Service type: cpu-load
#   output:Load : 0.01 0.01 0.00 : OK
/output:Load.*?([.0-9]+).*?([.0-9]+).*?([.0-9]+).*/
and push @s,[ 'cpu-load',
[ '1minute', GAUGE, $1 ],
[ '5minute', GAUGE, $2 ],
[ '15minute', GAUGE, $3 ]
];  


The nagiosgraph.log doesn't show me anything about the skipped lines...

Anyone have any ideas why this wouldn't be working right?  What could
restarting the server have broken?  Is this nagios being funky, or
nagiosgraph, or RRDTool, or something else?  

TIA,

Ian

[Nagios-users] temp_file nagios.tmp issue

[Peter Schulz]

Hello,
	I am having an issue with nagios.tmp re-creating every hour and  
using my disk space up. Is there anyway to turn is hourly option off?

the docs read:
Temp File
Format: temp_file=
Example:temp_file=/usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.tmp
This is a temporary file that Nagios periodically creates to use when  
updating comment data, status data, etc. The file is deleted when it  
is no longer needed.


Issue is the file does not get deleted but gets regenerated once an  
hour w/a new name example: nagios.tmpvVNenp


Thanks for the insight/help!

[Nagios-users] check_http regex question

[Wes Hegge]

Hello Everyone,

Have a quick question about what regular expression to use to check a web
page.

The web page is for some Trango wireless backhaul units.  On the main page
the status will say 'connected' if the backhaul units are talking to each
other.  Otherwise, the status is 'disconnected'.

I have tried:

./check_http -H 10.252.0.158  -r connected  returns OK all the time
./check_http -H 10.252.0.158  -r \(connected\)  returns OK. all the time

any idea on how to setup the regex?

Thanks,

Wes Hegge

Try:

"[^s]connected"

Not an "s" immediately before connected. Unless it is start of line. We 
may need more details.

Or if there is a space, search like (add a space before it):

-r " connected"

[Nagios-users] service depenency templates

[Jeff Chapin]

Hello,

I have inherited a small, but messy Nagios installation. I have spent a
lot of time cleaning it up, and templating out a bunch of things.  For
instance, to create a new host, you simply add 2 lines in a new file -
the template to use, and the hostname.  Based on the template you use,
it is assigned hostgroups and based on the hostgroups, it is assigned
service checks. It works great for us.  A little example:

 

define host{

use generic-host-ssl

host_name   www.ssldomain.com

}

This assigned the host www.ssldomain.com   to
the hostgroup SSLDomains, along with the defaults for that domain.

 

SSLDomains get tested for "HTTP by NAME" and "SSL Cert" - the former is
obvious, and the second checks for existence off a SSL cert, and Crits
if it is expired or will expire soon, warns if it  expires in the next
month, and says OK otherwise.

 

What I would like to do, is setup a service dependency so that I am not
warned about a missing SSL cert, if HTTP is down.  Looking through the
docs, it appears that the following MAY work:

 

define servicedependency{

hostgroup_name  SSLDomain

service_description HTTP by NAME

dependent_hostgroup_nameSSLDomain

dependent_service_description   SSL Cert

execution_failure_criteria  n

notification_failure_criteria   c,w,u

}

 

Looking at the documentation, though, this might not work

 

It appears that in this case the SSL Cert warnings will not go down if
ANY of the HTTP by NAMES are down Is this the case? 

 

Any easy ways to accomplish this?

 

Thanks,

Sounds like you didn't also increase the fail-safe service check timeout
parameter in nagios.cfg. I believe that the default is 10 seconds.

Yes, you can do it but you'd need to edit the source and recompile or
create a wrapper for check_http that modified the output to suit your
needs.

It won't.

Not the way dependencies work currently.  You'd need one defined
for each host.

Re: [Nagios-users] NRPE times out after 10 seconds

[Masoud Tabrizi]

All,
I checked the timeout parameters and these are the only one I have:
nagios.cfg:# TIMEOUT VALUES
nagios.cfg:service_check_timeout=60
nagios.cfg:host_check_timeout=30
nagios.cfg:event_handler_timeout=30
nagios.cfg:notification_timeout=30
nagios.cfg:ocsp_timeout=5
nagios.cfg:perfdata_timeout=5

Any suggestions?

BTW, I am using 2.9 as the base and the plugin is 1.3.6.1

You posted a timeout for check_logfiles and the above looks correct. Did
you also pass an increased timeout to check_nrpe that I expect is
calling check_logfiles on the remote machine? After increasing the
timeout for check_nrpe, did you restart or reload nagios? If so, please
post the service definition, command definition as well as example
plugin output (or nagios.log entry) when it fails.

That should work. Did you reload nagios after making the change? Verify
that you do not have more than one nagios process running and/or
escalations that may be causing re-notification. Also verify that you
don't have is_volatile set.

Re: [Nagios-users] service depenency templates

[Matthew Joyce]

I'm pretty sure, using hostgroups in service dependancies equates to :
  This service on all these hosts depends on this service on all *these*
hosts.
 
I'd prefer to have - This service on these hosts depend on this service
on any of these host.
 
If I'm wrong, please report back, I've always found service dendancies
irksome to implement.

Subject: [Nagios-users] service depenency templates



Hello,

I have inherited a small, but messy Nagios installation. I have
spent a lot of time cleaning it up, and templating out a bunch of
things.  For instance, to create a new host, you simply add 2 lines in a
new file - the template to use, and the hostname.  Based on the template
you use, it is assigned hostgroups and based on the hostgroups, it is
assigned service checks. It works great for us.  A little example:

 

define host{

use generic-host-ssl

host_name   www.ssldomain.com

}

This assigned the host www.ssldomain.com
  to the hostgroup SSLDomains, along with the
defaults for that domain.

 

SSLDomains get tested for "HTTP by NAME" and "SSL Cert" - the
former is obvious, and the second checks for existence off a SSL cert,
and Crits if it is expired or will expire soon, warns if it  expires in
the next month, and says OK otherwise.

 

What I would like to do, is setup a service dependency so that I
am not warned about a missing SSL cert, if HTTP is down.  Looking
through the docs, it appears that the following MAY work:

 

define servicedependency{

hostgroup_name  SSLDomain

service_description HTTP by NAME

dependent_hostgroup_nameSSLDomain

dependent_service_description   SSL Cert

execution_failure_criteria  n

notification_failure_criteria   c,w,u

}

 

Looking at the documentation, though, this might not work

 

It appears that in this case the SSL Cert warnings will not go
down if ANY of the HTTP by NAMES are down Is this the case? 

 

Any easy ways to accomplish this?

 

Thanks,

Re: [Nagios-users] Version problem

[Shivkumar]

Hi,
Simplest way to isolate the problem is to type/paste the complete url to
the tac.cgi or status.cgi in your address bar.
At the same time, open up a terminal window (xterm etc) and do a tail -f
/var/log/apache/error.log (or wherever your apache error logs are).
This will show you in realtime where you are going wrong. Also it would
help if you could post the relevant portions of the error log (not the
whole file) along with your post.
Reposting the same problem seldom helps, our crystal balls can only see
so much.

Regards,
Shiv
