Re: [Nagios-users] Netsaint monitoring windows issue
Not sure if anyone ever responded to this I recall seing that error but I do not remember exacly what induced it, It should be something simple like Windows Firewall, refusing to allow nagios to access the port to the Windows server you are monitoring. (instead of Windows Firewall, it could be antivirus running on the WIndows Host) I have had episodes of antivirus application breaking and having to go back in and re-enter the application into the accepted list. or had to resetup the port exception.

Re: [Nagios-users] check_nt
I did change the name of check_nt to check_nc_net about a year ago, However when I posted to the Plugin_developer group a few months ago, they said they did not want to include check_nc_net into the standard plugins and requested that I maintain it on a seperate site, which I am doing, on the official Sourcforge page of NC_NET. the nc_net version of check_nt has a comprehensive help for each command just type check_nt --help to get the basic help on each of the arguments then type check_nt --help=COMMAND where command is the command you want more information on like ENUMCONFIG or INSTANCES the basic procedure for compiling is to just overwrite check_nt.c with content of check_nc_net.c and then run make. If someone has an easier procedure please email it to me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] or post it into the NC_NEt forum hosted on the sourceforge page. I have also been causus of making sure the CLIENTVERSION reports NC_NET instead of check_nt no matter what you name the file. Tony Author of NC_NEt On 7/23/07, Michael W.

Re: [Nagios-users] check_mx plugin?
i think check_dig might start things off ... you can ask a name server for an MX record and specify what you expect in the answer section with the -a flag: check_dig -H SERVER -l cnn.com -T mx -a nycmail1.turner.com so this would expect the string "nycmail1.turner.com" to be in the answer section ... but i can only see how to get the lowest MX record with check_dig so seeing higher MX may require a little extra work ...

[Nagios-users] Monitoring multiple windows clients behind a firewall
I have a Nagios server setup at my office running version 3.0a5 on centos 4. I have a small client that I would like to monitor their workstations from my Nagios server. They have a small network with five windows workstations and one network printer behind a Linksys router and dsl internet connection. I have been able to setup NSClient++ to work on local windows machines for monitoring but I am not sure how to set it up to work at a remote site with this sort of configuration. I don't have the ability to setup a linux box at the client site to monitor these machines and report back to my main server. Is there any way that I can have one of the windows machines act as a NRPE server and have it check the other boxes or have the other boxes report back to it and then it report back to my main server? Or can I just have all the machines report back directly to my main server?

[Nagios-users] nagiosgraph restart, aggregate.cgi
I had a linux-based nagios 2.9 install with nagiosgraph 0.8. The server recently shutdown and upon startup, while nagios ran fine and nagiosgraph.log and perdata.log both show the correct type of activity, new graphs simply weren't generated after startup. The classic: "Illegal attempt to update" message goes into the log. I took this to be just a warning that one of the epoch values is incorrect. I base this assumption on the fact that higher level debug shows RRD inserts. I tried running insert.pl manually, moving the RRDs aside to make new ones but still couldn't get the graphs generated so I backed up my setup and upgraded to nagiosgraph 0.9. Now I am generating graphs however nagiosgraph-0.9 has an update.pl which moves the RRDs into hostname subdirectories. I installed aggregate.cgi with the previous version to create a single webpage with all the graphs and this no longer works due to the RRD format or location. Does anyone have a patch or newer version of aggregate.cgi (http://www.nebrwesleyan.edu/people/stpierre/aggregate.cgi) Also, I notice that the perfdata.log file seems to get rolled on its own every few minutes and running nagiosgraph with warning-level debugs produces a warning "perfdata not recognized". I presume these two events are related. Thanks - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Still grepping through log files to find problems? Stop.

Hello Lalita, I also don't know a possibility to realize this in hostgroups.cfg. But you could create a host-template and add there your contact-group. All machines you want notifications for must use this template. host-template: define host{ namemy-generic-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 check_command check-host-alive max_check_attempts 10 notification_interval 0 notification_period 24x7 notification_optionsd,u,r contact_groups HERE YOUR CONTACTGROUP register0 } host: define host{ use my-generic-host host_name my-host alias my-host address 192.168.1.1 } I hope this will help you!
