I'm not surprised. The NDO database scheme is much too complex to easily
write applications for, which is probably why there's still no "The GUI"
designed in one of the big P-languages for it.

If you feel as if you're lacking that energy at the moment, send over what
you've got and I'll take a look at it. As of 1 october, we'll be looking
at implementing a gui written in PHP and a reporting engine. We'd prefer
if the reporting engine was to use a database backend rather than the
text-files.

Such a solution would rob users of the flexibility of altering SLA-
periods at a later date though. I would vehemently argue against it.

(for the list, mainly)
Jasper reports is an oss reporting engine written in java. Its' homepage
is located at www.jasperforge.org.
I have no first-hand experience with it, but the ones I know that do
claim that it works to their satisfaction.

Re: [Nagios-users] Distributed config admin tool?

[Nate Campi]

I use cfengine, and have it down to where I can setup a new Nagios
instance or setup a failed Nagios instance in minutes.

I have a single Nagios filesystem hierarchy that helps ensure that the
central and distributed services and host definitions are exactly the
same - using symlinks.

$ pwd
/var/cfengine/masterfiles/usr/pkg/nagios/etc
$ ls -l sites/savvis1/hostgroups/
lrwxr-xr-x  1 ncampi cfengine   46 Aug  6 16:26 hostgroups-ftp.cfg -> 
../../../central/hostgroups/hostgroups-ftp.cfg
...

$ ls -l sites/savvis2/services/url/
lrwxr-xr-x  1 ncampi cfengine   42 Aug  7 22:09 query.cfg -> 
../../../../central/services/url/query.cfg

I just make sure that the templates are real files (with different
contents, of course) for the central and distributed Nagios instances.

$ ls -l sites/savvis1/services/templates/generic.cfg 
-r--r-  1 ncampi cfengine 3282 Aug  7 14:45 
sites/savvis1/services/templates/generic.cfg

I use daemontools to start up Nagios using the correct config file, and
each nagios.cfg has the right cfg_dir and cfg_file options to assume the
role that I want for that host.

$ ls -l sites/savvis1/nagios.cfg 
-r--r-  1 ncampi cfengine 31193 Aug  7 23:26 sites/savvis1/nagios.cfg

None of this is original, of course, but along with cfengine it makes it
a breeze to manage. If people really care, I could put up a better
description of how I did it.

Re: [Nagios-users] SLA reports [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

Dear Matthew,

I am writing to thank you for your letter and say,

I haven't heard of too many people taking the next big leap with Nagios,
namely, using the NDO infrastructure as the basis of availability
reporting. OTOH there are some who doing what you are proposing, one at
least with the NDO outage table.

At the moment, my employer has an event handler that stashes outage data
in a table and some home-brew (Perl/DBI/Spreadsheet::WriteExcel) to
generate some reports (including SLA reports) (ie this is NOT an NDO
application. However, obviously this is the way to go and once I get
enough time and energy, I would like to pursue this).

Doing an SLA report is basically filtering the outage times against the
SLA time period.

Amazingly enough, Nagios already does a lot of this sort of filtering
when it determines on the basis of time-periods whether or not to notify
contacts.

It may therefore possible that the Nagios core could provide more SLA
support than it does by only actioning outages that occur within the
SLA. However, irrespective of future core support, you could acheive
something like the same result by only running checks for the time
period corresp to your SLA and therefore you would only get outages
within the SLA.

If on the other hand you want to filter the outages in the NDO tables,
there is a Nagios::SLA that is used here, but since I have no idea what
Jasper reports is/does, you may not need this.

(if you are interested in Nagios::SLA let me know privately. It is not
published and may not be for quite a while since I am busy trying to
pass 642-901).

Yep. Write the all singing all dancing Nag availability reporting
package and earn everlasting fame. For bonus marks, donate it to the
project (or maintain it).

Yours sincerely.

Re: [Nagios-users] Fwd: Problem with availability report

[Andy Shellam (Mailing Lists)]

Hi Pablo,

 

Yes, it looks as if your Nagios user does not have permissions to write to 
/var/log/nagios2/archives.

 

Do "chown nagios:adm /var/log/nagios2/archives", then when your logs are 
rotated, you should get the old logs moved inside your archives directory, and 
you'll be able to run historical reports.  

 

What you'll probably find is that currently, the reports are only picking up 
the current day's data (as you only have today's log file.)

 

Andy.

Hi Pablo,

 

What does the report class the "Indeterminate" data as?  (Insufficient data or 
Nagios not running?)

 

If it says "Insufficient data," I'd hazard a guess that your last month's log 
files aren't where Nagios expects them to be, perhaps they've been archived or 
zipped by a log rotation program, but that's just a guess.

 

If you browse to your "Event Log" in Nagios, near the the top, it should say 
"File:" and the path to a file.  That's the current log file.  Look in that 
file's directory on your system and see if there are any other files with last 
month's dates in.

 

Andy.

You should change these quotes to something more useful, like ' or " 
and make sure any special characters you pass are correctly quoted (or 
handled by your script correctly). IIRC, Nagios calls the commands you 
define using /bin/sh, and that might understand unexpected things...

Also, put qoutes around the variables. As long as you forbid any 
potentilly insecure characters in Nagios' configuration (the default, 
IIRC), " should work fine.

Again, qouting...

Sure. Quoting.
To verify this, try to enter the line you give above into the shell... 
you'll get something else than only a variable assignment.

[Nagios-users] Nagio & TEC

[Fabio Iovine]

hi all,

I need to forward Nagios alarm events to TEC (Tivoli Enterprise Monitor).

For this reason I wrote a couple of shell-scripts to handle Nagios
servicestate and change them in TEC suitable severity codes.

Then I try to forward these event to TEC by using a Tivoli command but
I have problems with SERVICEOUTPUT/HOSTOUTPUT which are truncated.

let's make some fixed points; these are the twho commands I defined in
my commands.cfg file:

# 'service-notify-by-postemsg' command definition

define command{

command_name service-notify-by-postemsg

command_line $USER3$/service-nagios-postemsg.sh `$DATE$` `$TIME$` `$HO

STNAME$` `$SERVICESTATE$` `$SERVICEOUTPUT$`

}

# 'host-notify-by-postemsg' command definition

define command{

command_name host-notify-by-postemsg

command_line $USER3$/host-nagios-postemsg.sh $DATE$ $TIME$ $HOSTNAME$

$HOSTSTATE$ $HOSTOUTPUT$

}

the two files have the following inside them:

date=$1

time=$2

hostname=$3

servicestate=$4

serviceoutput=$5

postemsg -f $post_conf_file -r $severity -m "$date : $time :
$serviceoutput" hostname=$hostname Nagios NAGIOS

---

date=$1

time=$2

hostname=$3

hoststate=$4

hostoutput=$5

postemsg -f $post_conf_file -r $severity -m "$date : $time :
$hostoutput" hostname=$hostname Nagios NAGIOS

for those who are notfamiliar with Tivoli, the "-m" is the message flag;

what really happen to me is that the $hostoutput wich should contain
the $HOSTOUTPUT$ text is truncated right after the first word, for
istance:

$HOSTOUTPUT$ = JMX ATTRIBUTE CRITICAL -
jboss.j2ee:jndiName=ejb/GameTransactionSystem,service=EJB-StateString:

become $hostoutput = JMX

do you have any idea?

thanx in advance,

Fabio

[Nagios-users] SLA reports from nagios

[Hollick Matthew - ICT Systems]

Hi there,
 
I wish (well, have been told to..) to produce SLA type reports of our IT
systems for management. At the moment the requirements are rather
vague...
 
As we are currently using NDO I am hoping that Jasper Reports may be
used to pull reports directly from the database. Poking around I can
find no reference to people having done so.
 
Any advice while I am still at the stage of working out what management
want?
 
 
Cheers,
 
Matthew.

If you're submitting the command via the nagios cgis then either you've
missed a step in the documentation and your web server isn't running as
group nagiocmd or there is a directory higher than rw that is not
allowing that group access. Your web server error_log might provide more
insight as well as the output of the following command --
echo "PID  Running As   Friendly Name"; ps -eo pid,user,fname | grep
http; echo -en "\ngroup: "; grep nagiocmd /etc/group

If you're submitting the command via an external script then that script
isn't running as user nagios or group nagiocmd, or there is a directory
higher than rw that is not allowing that group access.

~840 lines of irrelevant digest removed. Please don't quote an entire
digest just to create a new topic. Now next weeks digest will contain
your post with all of the previous weeks digest making it very large and

There are no 'like' operators in C.
It's possible that your host names cause a hash-collision. If the code doing
the actual comparison later on does

strncmp(hst->name, hext->host_name, strlen(hext->host_name));

you would get this error.

No, otherwise it would have been in the CVS code already, and most likely
in a tarball release too.

[Nagios-users] how to issue service check through external command

[Navdeep Sidhu]

Hi Guys

I'm trying to issue certain service checks through external commands but
getting an error "could not open command file nagios.cmd for update"

I went through Nagios FAQ & Google but didn't find the way out.

I have setup the permissions according to the recommendations & external
command check option is enabled in nagios configuration file also.

 drwxrwsr-x  2 nagios nagiocmd   4096 Sep  3 14:15 rw
 prw-rw   1 nagios nagiocmd   0   Sep  3 14:15 nagios.cmd

Pl help in this regard.

Thanks in advance

Regards
Navdeep Singh Sidhu

Hi Guys,

I've got a spiffy new rc.d script that works great for starting/ 
stopping the nrpe daemon. But simply adding nrpe_enable="yes" to my / 
etc/rc.conf doesn't seem to do the trick.

Does anyone know how I can tell FreeBSD to fire off the "/usr/local/ 
etc/rc.d/nrpe start" command at boot time?

In case anyone's interested, here's my script:




#!/bin/sh
#
# Startup script for NRPE
#

# Source function library.
. /usr/local/etc/rc.d/functions

BIN=/usr/local/nagios/bin/nrpe
CONFIG=/usr/local/nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg
LOCK=/var/spool/lock/nrpe

RETVAL=0;

# See how we were called.
case "$1" in
   start)
 echo -n "Starting NRPE daemon: "
 daemon $BIN -c $CONFIG -d
 RETVAL=$?
 if [ $RETVAL = 0 ] && touch $LOCK
 then
 echo -e "\t\t[ OK ]";
 else
 echo -e "\t\t[ FAILED ]";
 fi
 ;;
   stop)
 echo -n "Stopping NRPE daemon: "
 kill `cat /var/run/nrpe.pid` && rm -f /var/run/nrpe.pid
 RETVAL=$?
 if [ $RETVAL = 0 ] && rm -f $LOCK
 then
 echo -e "\t\t[ OK ]";
 else
 echo -e "\t\t[ FAILED ]";
 fi

 ;;
   status)
 status nrpe
 ;;
   restart)
 $0 stop
 sleep 1
 $0 start
 ;;
   *)
 echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart|status}"
 exit 1
esac

exit $RETVAL

[Nagios-users] bug in a configuration files parsing logic?

[Danila]

Hi there!

I have 2 hosts: 1489 and 14894_2108 (14894_2108 is a member of 14894
group). They both has their own host ext infos. If
they do have these names, nagios -v tells this:


Reading configuration data...

Error: Could not add duplicate hostextinfo entry for host '14894_2108'.
Error: Could not allocate memory for hostextinfo list to add extended info for 
host '14894_2108'.
Segmentation fault


If I change the names to such: u1489 and 14894_2108, seg fault
disapperses. It looks like Nagios has somewhere "like" operator,
not "=". And because of this bug, my network schema in Nagios has to be
modified. that's bad...

Has anyone already found this bug? Is there any patches to solve it?
