Re: [Nagios-users] nagios email notifications "From" address
This one is working just fine! No need to keep MTA in the system. Just cool, thanks. But, i think all those elsif clauses in command line args parsing block are not correct. There must be if's, cause if you don't specify -n option, other options don't get even inititalized to "UNDEFINED" state. It's not important anyway, cause ther need to be some sense in command line arguments. I found this when tested the script from command line and entered just subject and recepient address. Anyway this is very handy script, thanks a lot for advice! John Kramme пишет: > This is what I use.

Firstly, anything running on the guest which queries hardware directly (eg, get the network card counters) causes a 'potentially unsafe' instruction in the guest, which is passed to the SC for authorisation and verification. This therefore slows things down a bit and is a much higher performance hit than on a standalone box. So, it's not a good thing to do. Secondly, any monitoring of the CPU and Memory will be meaningless, because the virtualisation gives the guest a wrong impression of things. You can get a guest thinking it has used 50% CPU, but in fact the ESX Server will not give the guest more resources. Much better to monitor CPU usage and ReadyTime on the ESX Server. Memory suffers from the affects of Balloon and ESXSwap memory giving incorrect usage and swap readings to the guest, and shared/private memory giving incorrect readings of how much is actually used. Again, read these at the Server level to get meaningful data. Finally, anything rate-based on the guest will be calculated by the clock, and because of the virtualisation, the guest's clock does not tick regularly. Although the minutes will go by evenly, the seconds won't - you'll get some longer and some shorter. So, if you measure a counter, wait ten seconds, measure it again, then take the difference and divide by 10 it will not reliably give you a per-second rate. It will be artificially inflated or reduced depending on how busy the ESX Server is at that time. You can, however, retrieve a counter from a guest and do the rate calculation on a separate server with a non-virtual clock. I hope this clarifies the issue...

Re: [Nagios-users] Missing $NOTIFICATIONUMBER$ macro
It's complicated but you are going to have to find an external way to
keep track of your notifications for a given service and reference that
from your plugin. You will probably need to change your notification
script to write to a db (or even a flat file) which can then be looked
at by your plugin.
My thought would be a simple db structure something like host_name,
service_name, notification_number. Have your notifcation script update
the notification_number each time it sends a notification. Your plugin
would have to reset this value to 0 if the service is ok. Your plugin
will have to know how to pull this data from the db so you would not use
the $NOTIFICAITONNUMBER$ macro, your script will have it's own variable.
If you are using NDOUtils, you might be able to use exsiting data
instead of the additional db(not running it yet so I don't know for
sure).
This is a little oversimplified but I think this is how you could do it.

Subject: [Nagios-users] Missing $NOTIFICATIONUMBER$ macro
I have an odd problem with Nagios 2.9 and NRPE 2.8x. I'm wrapping
check_nrpe in a script to detect socket timeouts; the script returns a
WARNING instead of an UNKNOWN for the first two socket timeouts, and a
CRITICAL thereafter. I'm using $NOTIFICATIONNUMBER$ to pass in the
current notification count.
The problem is that $NOTIFICATIONNUMBER$ does not seem to be being
passed to me script. Here is what I have in checkcommands.cfg, in which
$NOTIFICATIONNUMBER$ gives a null value in my PERL script:
define command{
command_name check__data_disk2
command_line $USER1$/nrpe_wrapper -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -c check_disk3 -S
$SERVICESTATE$ -N $NOTIFICATIONNUMBER$ }
At first I thought it was a problem with my code, or with GetOpt. So I
changed it to this:
define command{
command_name check__data_disk2
command_line $USER1$/nrpe_wrapper -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -c check_disk3 -S
$SERVICESTATE$ -N 30$NOTIFICATIONNUMBER$ }
Now $notificationcount gets set to '30'. Any pointers on what I can try
to get the notification # into my plugin? Nagios was compiled with all
the standard options to ./configure.
Thanks,

This is a service check command. I'd like to somehow get the current

Is this used as a check or a notification command? There is no
notification number associated with a service check; only with a
notification.

Re: [Nagios-users] Missing $NOTIFICATIONUMBER$ macro
Thanks for the quick response.$SERVICEATTEMPT$ isn't quite what I need. I need
the first two notifications sent for this wrapper to be WARNINGs iff check_nrpe
encountered a socket timeout. Each following timeout should generate a CRITICAL
notification.
Maybe I'm approaching this problem from the wrong angle.

$NOTIFICATIONNUMBER$ isn't valid for host/service check commands, only
notifications (http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/macros.html).
Unless the above command is being called as a notification command, and
it would be very unusual if it was, it's not going to work.

I suspect that what you're really looking for is $SERVICEATTEMPT$. Check
the macros page to be sure.

[Nagios-users] NDOutils on FreeBSD -- solved
Hi, This is a follow-up to several postings in the archives about getting NDOutils to compile on FreeBSD. I suspect that other people will have this problem, so I'm posting it here. I also suspect that this will affect other operating systems, not just FreeBSD, but NDOUtils is labeled "Experimental," so we deal. :-) The problem is in ndoutils-x/include/config.h . The configure script puts all the libraries under /usr/lib instead of letting mysql be under /usr/local/lib. I edited config.h as shown, and ndoutils compiled just fine. ... #define USE_MYSQL 1 /* #undef HAVE_MYSQL */ #ifdef USE_MYSQL #define HAVE_MYSQL 1 #include #include #endif ... Compiles just fine. I haven't tested it, mind you, but it compiles. Perhaps someone with config-fu can fix this. If the Nagios developers think it's appropriate, I can file a bug report. ==ml -- Michael W.

At the bare minimum, you should always provide what version of nagios you're running. Things like how you have ndomod configured, whether there are any errors in your MySQL logs, and whether you can connect to MySQL with your configured username/password outside of Nagios would be helpful. Without any of that, the most I can tell you is it looks broken, but you already knew that. - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Still grepping through log files to find problems? Stop.

Re: [Nagios-users] Syslog Event Log
This is such a common topic! I just gave a presentation to the local LUG a week or two back regarding using Syslog-ng and Logmuncher for log monitoring. http://www.adamsinfoserv.com/AISTWiki/bin/view/AIS/Presentations Perhaps you will find it useful.

Re: [Nagios-users] Syslog Event Log
Hi Syd,
But my case is little different. I got my Tivoli doing my Monitoring
(NMS) job. I am in search for a Syslog server, for my Cisco devices,
which can send alerts on critical error and warnings.
So would like to have your advise on the same.
Thanks and Regards.
Manoj

I have a central management server. It runs Nagios, Munin, Cacti, and

destination remote_hosts

These lines configure Syslog-ng to accept connections from remote
systems and
place the logs in to a host specific directory. I run syslog-ng on all
my
linux servers.
I have not setup the monitoring yet, it is on my todo list. There are a
number
of log checks in the Nagios Exchange.
Enjoy,

[Nagios-users] quoting authentication strings with nrpe_nt
Hello, I am using nrpe_nt with wmi plugins. I am passing some authentication strings like: /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nrpe -H 10.0.1.127 -c get_service_auth -a 10.0.1.5 msdtc 'asdfasdf' 'foo!bar' Notice the password has an exclamation point (!) in it. How can I quote this properly? I have tried: "foo!bar" 'foo!bar' "foo\!bar" 'foo\!bar' All with no luck. If I escape it with backslash (\), NRPE complains with: CHECK_NRPE: Received 0 bytes from daemon. Check the remote server logs for error messages. I cannot change this password so I must think of a work around. Maybe a perl wrapper with qq// ? Thanks! - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
