You want to add a % after the 20 and 10, ie: check_disk -w 20% -c 10%.

It's a common mistake. I believe Ethan has already updated the CVS  
version of nrpe.cfg so that the default has the percent figures  
included.

Re: [Nagios-users] NDOUtiles not working

[Sven Bauknecht]

Hi Vadiraj,

did you use the --enable-mysql option with the ndo-utils ./configure command.

In my case it was a bit weired with ndo utils, I had to run ./configure
--enable-mysql and the make commands twice before ndo-utils started
working properly.

Maybe that`ll help in your case, too.

No no no.  Don't use kill -9.
It doesn't give the process a chance to cleanly:
1) shut down socket connections
2) clean up temp files
3) inform its children that it is going away
4) reset its terminal characteristics
and so on and so on and so on.

Generally, send 15, and wait a second or two, and if that doesn't work,
send 2, and if that doesn't work, send 1.
If that doesn't, REMOVE THE BINARY because the program is badly behaved!

Re: [Nagios-users] nagios 3.0b3 abnormal cpu load ?

[Sven Bauknecht]

Hi,

I can`t see any CPU problems with nagios 3.0b3. My System is a Virtuozzo
VM with Ubuntu dapper running Kernel 2.6.9.

This is a Testbox so there only about 10 Checks running.

Could this be a kernel 2.4.x issue? - Just a thought...

Re: [Nagios-users] NDOUtiles not working

[tom.welsh]

This is the exact same problem I have been having also. I have tried
with the --enable-mysql and also specifying the mysql libs and include
files but still get the error that Vadiraj gets.

I have the following setup

OS and Software as follows
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9. SP2
Nagios 2.9
NDO Utils 1.4b5
MySQL 5.0.54

All of the above compiled from source apart from SUSE :P

[Nagios-users] Host State for machines that don't allow ping

[Hari Sekhon]

Hi,

   I am curios what people do when monitoring a host that does not 
respond to pings. I have a host which is not under my control, it does 
not respond to pings, but I am monitoring one service. The service is 
up, so the host is up. I am not receiving notifications for this host 
and it appears to be fine, but in the web interface, nagios has the host 
column as red but the service column as green.

This is somewhat of a contradiction because if the service is ok, then 
implicitly the host is up. Should the host column not be green as well?

I am considering changing the host definition's check command to a dummy 
check instead of the usual ping check, but this seems like not quite the 
right thing to do because the host may well be down then and the dummy 
check will always return ok and nagios will think that host is up.

I have also considered making the host check just the same check that 
the service is, which should work for this one host, but what about if I 
have to do the same for other hosts, this doesn't scale, I can't 
template it etc...


These are the only 2 options I can think of, either never know if it's 
up or not, or use the service check, but this doesn't scale and has to 
be done on an individual host basis for any host that doesn't respond to 
pings.


Anybody got any other ideas?

Thanks

Hi,

Thanks for the feedback about this... I was just testing on an ubuntu

the devel mailing list, I fear there is indeed a bug somewhere :'(

Write a host-check that checks the status of all services on the host. If
any service is up, the host is up.

Or, write a NEB-module to make this happen automagically whenever a host is
determined to be up and use a dummy check (that doesn't even have to exist)
for host check.

Re: [Nagios-users] nagios 3.0b3 abnormal cpu load ?

[SCHAER Frederic]

Hi again,

 

There is a difference between the nagios I compiled on the 2.4 kernel /
RHEL3 box on the one hand, and the 2.6 one on Ubuntu on the other hand :

when stracing the nagios process, I can see it's calling the nanosleep()
function - and it then sleeps -, whereas on the 2.4 box I can't see such
a call : I just see this kind of thing (and lots of these) :

 

gettimeofday({1189419621, 161574}, NULL) = 0

time([1189419621])  = 1189419621

time([1189419621])  = 1189419621

gettimeofday({1189419621, 183742}, NULL) = 0

gettimeofday({1189419621, 183780}, NULL) = 0

gettimeofday({1189419621, 183814}, NULL) = 0

time([1189419621])  = 1189419621

gettimeofday({1189419621, 184172}, NULL) = 0

gettimeofday({1189419621, 184326}, NULL) = 0

time([1189419621])  = 1189419621

time([1189419621])  = 1189419621

gettimeofday({1189419621, 184734}, NULL) = 0

gettimeofday({1189419621, 184861}, NULL) = 0

gettimeofday({1189419621, 184984}, NULL) = 0

time([1189419621])  = 1189419621

gettimeofday({1189419621, 185537}, NULL) = 0

gettimeofday({1189419621, 185734}, NULL) = 0

 

Bad thing is that I tried to configure with and without the
-enable-nanosleep or -disable-nanosleep switches, but this apparently
has no effect :'(.

So it seems nagios is sleeping all the time, eating the CPU... I'm still
trying to see if I can find a way to compile with a "working sleep".

 

Fred

Subject: [Nagios-users] nagios 3.0b3 abnormal cpu load ?

 

Hi,

 

I'm trying to setup a nagios 3.0b3 server, and I configured it with only
one host, one check (ping).

I can successfully start nagios, but I have concerns about the server
cpu load : that's around 99% cpu usage all the time, on a P4 3GHz
machine...

 

Is there something I could do to decrese this load ? I tried installing
a nagios 2.9 server using the same configuration, and the load caused by
nagios is just ... 0.

I guess this is a bug in the beta 3 ?

 

Increasing the sleep time in nagios.cfg does not help at all even if I
put sleep_time=2500 (2500 seconds !)

 

Any suggestions would be welcome :-)

 

P.S : I compiled nagios on a 2.4.21 linux kernel, using gcc 3.2.3, don't
know if this could help. I don't see many usefull things with maximum
debug verbosity...

NEB seems a little OTT, I don't know anything about NEB and I'd rather 
avoid doing something heavy for something which should be small and simple.



I take it that most of you out there who run Nagios have ping enabled on 
_all_ of your hosts?


I can't be the first person to run into this, surely?

one more thing, I spoke too soon, I am getting host down alerts for that

It wouldn't be heavy at all. Just hook into the host checking machinery and
go through the host's services prior to running the actual check. If any of
the services are ok, block the host check and set the host to state "UP" with
output "Implicitly OK due to functioning services".

It could probably be done in 100 or so lines of code.

Nopes, but generally there's some easy way of checking if the host is up.
check_tcp is quite small and efficient. Perhaps you can use that to check
if the port serving whatever service you're monitoring is up?

This is a result of the nagiosplugin Makefile being ridiculously
complex and more or less requiring GNU make.

Either install GNU make (it's very portable), or bugger the nagiosplug
dev-team to fix this, preferrably on [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Thanks Andreas!. Installing Gnu make didn't help. I will send mail to

[Nagios-users] servicegroup dependant on other service

[Paul Dugas]

I've defined a service for a hostgroup and am trying to make each of
those services dependent on one other service.  I don't want to have to
type the name of every member of the hostgroup; there are hundreds of
them.

This is the "master" service

> define service{
> host_name   svr
> service_description VIDS
> check_command   check_snmp_proc!VIDS_Server
> use server-service
> }

These need to be dependent on the "master" service

> define service{

This isn't working.

> define servicedependency{
> host_name   svr
> service_description VIDS

I'm getting this for each member of the CAM hostgroup

Any ideas as to where I'm going awry?

TIA,

You have no notification_failure_criteria or check_execution_failure_criteria
specified. As such, it's a completely empty dependency that Nagios will
simply ignore because it will have zero impact during run-time.

[Nagios-users] Newbie: Passing parameters to standard plugins

[Zembower, Kevin]

I'm trying to pass the username and password to the check_mysql plugin,
but am having some trouble. In configuring nagios2 so far, I've either
just used the plugins with no parameters (such as check_http) or created
my own versions of plugins with different names in commands.cfg. I can
create a new name for the check_mysql plugin and use that, but this
seems wrong. When I create an entry in /etc/nagios2/commands.cfg to fix
the order in which I'm passing the parameters, Nagios complains that
check_mysql is already defined.

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong and how to pass the parameters
to a standard plugin?

My system is Debian 4.0 Etch with the nagios2 2.6-2+etch1 package
installed.

Thanks for your advice and suggestions.

Ton,

Adding the "%" didn't correct the problem. The Nrpe client is configured 
in the same way on at least 10 other servers.

[Nagios-users] Host State for machines that don't allow ping

[Daniel McLaughlin]

In my nagios setup I have a similar problem, how I get around this is 
(in the case of a webserver) is that I use a check_http for the 
check_host command, therefore if HTTP is available, I am assuming that 
the server is up!

Re: [Nagios-users] nagios-plugin unable to compile

[Chris Lee]

Hi Rajesh,

I recieved some compile errors when I compiled the nagios-plugin on solaris
10 using the native cc compiler. Finally, I installed iconv, gcc and
open-ssl and then did the compilation again. Then everything worked.

Regards,

Re: [Nagios-users] nagios 3.0b3 abnormal cpu load ?

[SCHAER Frederic]

/me again...

 

It seems there is a problem with host checks on my box that causes host
checks to be run continuously on the same host(s) - well it seems that
there is indeed no host check run because one is < always > executing (
? no, it's not ! ).

 

logs show this for a debug run of just a few seconds :

# grep "A check of this host is already being executed"
/var/log/nagios/nagios.debug | wc -l

   1709

 

de-activating host checks (execute_host_checks=0)in the nagios.cfg file
frees the CPU, at the cost of host checks... it's good to know, isn't it
? ;)

Is this really usefull anyway if I define a check_ping service on all
hosts ?

 

Cheers

Hi again,

 

There is a difference between the nagios I compiled on the 2.4 kernel /
RHEL3 box on the one hand, and the 2.6 one on Ubuntu on the other hand :

when stracing the nagios process, I can see it's calling the nanosleep()
function - and it then sleeps -, whereas on the 2.4 box I can't see such
a call : I just see this kind of thing (and lots of these) :

Bad thing is that I tried to configure with and without the
-enable-nanosleep or -disable-nanosleep switches, but this apparently
has no effect :'(.

So it seems nagios is sleeping all the time, eating the CPU... I'm still
trying to see if I can find a way to compile with a "working sleep".

Subject: [Nagios-users] nagios 3.0b3 abnormal cpu load ?

 

Hi,

 

I'm trying to setup a nagios 3.0b3 server, and I configured it with only
one host, one check (ping).

I can successfully start nagios, but I have concerns about the server
cpu load : that's around 99% cpu usage all the time, on a P4 3GHz
machine...

 

Is there something I could do to decrese this load ? I tried installing
a nagios 2.9 server using the same configuration, and the load caused by
nagios is just ... 0.

I guess this is a bug in the beta 3 ?

 

Increasing the sleep time in nagios.cfg does not help at all even if I
put sleep_time=2500 (2500 seconds !)

 

Any suggestions would be welcome :-)

 

P.S : I compiled nagios on a 2.4.21 linux kernel, using gcc 3.2.3, don't
know if this could help. I don't see many usefull things with maximum
debug verbosity...

Re: [Nagios-users] nagios 3.0b3 abnormal cpu load ?

[SCHAER Frederic]

I finally found a solution :

either deactivate the host checks or... define a check_command for the
hosts : with host_checks_enabled and without a check command, nagios
eats all of my CPU, with a command defined, everything is back to
normal...

 

I wish I saw I had no check_command defined in my host template !

 

Cheers

/me again...

 

It seems there is a problem with host checks on my box that causes host
checks to be run continuously on the same host(s) - well it seems that
there is indeed no host check run because one is < always > executing (
? no, it's not ! ).

 

logs show this for a debug run of just a few seconds :

# grep "A check of this host is already being executed"
/var/log/nagios/nagios.debug | wc -l

   1709

 

de-activating host checks (execute_host_checks=0)in the nagios.cfg file
frees the CPU, at the cost of host checks... it's good to know, isn't it
? ;)

Is this really usefull anyway if I define a check_ping service on all
hosts ?

 

Cheers

Hi again,

 

There is a difference between the nagios I compiled on the 2.4 kernel /
RHEL3 box on the one hand, and the 2.6 one on Ubuntu on the other hand :

when stracing the nagios process, I can see it's calling the nanosleep()
function - and it then sleeps -, whereas on the 2.4 box I can't see such
a call : I just see this kind of thing (and lots of these) :

 

gettimeofday({1189419621, 161574}, NULL) = 0

time([1189419621])  = 1189419621

time([1189419621])  = 1189419621

gettimeofday({1189419621, 183742}, NULL) = 0

gettimeofday({1189419621, 183780}, NULL) = 0

gettimeofday({1189419621, 183814}, NULL) = 0

time([1189419621])  = 1189419621

gettimeofday({1189419621, 184172}, NULL) = 0

gettimeofday({1189419621, 184326}, NULL) = 0

time([1189419621])  = 1189419621

time([1189419621])  = 1189419621

gettimeofday({1189419621, 184734}, NULL) = 0

gettimeofday({1189419621, 184861}, NULL) = 0

gettimeofday({1189419621, 184984}, NULL) = 0

[Anthony Montibello]

Hi List,

First I think this is more appropiate fpr the Developer list so I hope Ethan
has been watching this thread.

If your observation is true,
should Nagios have an internal default hostcheck command  or some code to
deactivate hostchecks when no hostcheck command is entered?

Duh, seems in all my fiddling, I removed the
notification_failure_criteria and check_execution_failure_criteria
entries.  

Sorry for the wasted bandwidth.

Sounds like you need to figure out what MTA your system is using, and
then check to make sure it's configured properly.

Since we don't know which you're using, or what appears in your mail
logs, or anything else about how Nagios or mail are configured on your
system, it's difficult to give you anything more specific than that.

Hi,

 

I am seeing the following errors in the local var spool file

 

The message could not be delivered because the recipient's 
destination email system is unknown or invalid. Please check the address and 
try again, or contact your system administrator to verify connectivity to the 
email system of the recipient.

 

I ran this from the console and I got this from the email client app that I am 
using. I can send emails from this email but not the console which I think it 
uses the sendmail feature and I think this needs to be configured for our email 
system right? If so, where?

 

Thanks

I apologize for the lack of info. I'll try to clarify 

Fedora 6
Nagios 2.9
 It says the mta is the localhost name which is
< mtlnm.duocom.local #5.1.2> that is the name of my local system. I have an 
exchange server setup and that is handling all emails on another server.

If you need more info please let me know.

Re: [Nagios-users] NDOUtiles not working

Dear All,

I have tried all the ways, but still it's not working.
Where I can get logs for NDOUtiles tools?

We have datacenter in 4 different locations. As of now we are having nagios
configured in one system which will pull the data from different location (I
hope it is not the best practices)
Now I need to implement
1>Failure concept in nagios(different location).
2>How I can implement Mysql database as a back end repository.
3>What is the best practice for configuring such an environment?, which
should use nagios monitoring tool very effectively

Thanks and Regards,
Vadiraj

[Nagios-users] hostgroups in servicegroup definition

[Lori Adams]

Looking at the documentation, I don't think what I'm hoping for is
possible. We're using nagios 2.9 on Redhat.  

 

I'd like to define a servicegroup by listing the members as
,service,,service and then also have other
members like ,service.  

 

Example:

Define servicegroup {

Servicegroup_nameSG

Alias random SG

Members   hostA,service

Hostgroup_Members  hostgroup1,service,hostgroup2,service
(wishing for)

}

 

Is this possible, and I just can't find the name of the directive?  

 

Thanks,

-Lori

Re: [Nagios-users] separate webfront

[Cassandra Pugh]

Hugo, perhaps you can elaborate?  Do you know how to pull the web page info
out and put it on another server?  

I am not sure if I want to go the NFS route, as we recently got hacked
through NFS vulnerabilities.

However, it has been requested that this Nagios page be "public".  I have set
it up on my box as an internal website, so I know how to do that much... it's
just having half of nagios on our "public" web server that has me scratching
my head.  

Any further advice?

I have been successful in NFS mounting the nagios home directory from
another machine and using the CGI's from there. The only drawback is
that you will not be able to issue commands from the web interface at
all. NFS doesn't support named pipes.

Apache is not that hard if you tune down the defaults. I think you will 
find the drawbacks of seperation harder then it needs to be.

If yyou do not wish to make it public you can always make the other apache 
server a front for this webserver. I do this for various aplications.

Your regex has issues. :)

Something like this should work (with the caveat that I write regexes
about as well as I tap dance):

/output:.*Used: ([0-9]) MB .*Free: ([0-9]) MB/

I think the lack of a "." before your "*"s  is biting you.

[Nagios-users] $HOSTn$ macros?

[Paul Dugas]

Would it be possible in a future release to support something like a
$HOSTn$ macro?  I'm running into some larger configs where this would be
very useful.

I've got hundreds of CCTV cameras with serial PTZ-control ports and
analog video outputs.  Their serial ports are connected to various
terminal servers scattered around a rather large network.  Their video
outputs are connected to separate video encoders.  

I have standard hosts definitions for the terminal servers and encoders.
I have bogus host definitions for the cameras (with check_command set to
check_none).  The camera hosts are in a hostgroup are so I can provide
consolidated reports to camera technicians.  

I currently have a whole slew of service definitions for the cameras
that actually check the serial ports and video inputs on the real
devices the camera is connected to.  I'd love to be able to do something
like this instead:

> define host{
> host_name   cam-844
> hostgroups  CAM
> host_data   ts-23,12,enc-45,3 # terminal-server host, port, 
> encoder host, port
> use cam-host
> }
> define command{
> command_namecheck_cam_control

> $HOST2$

Three ideas here:
  1: add CSV "host_data" attribute to "host" definitions.
  2: make "host_data" pieces available in commands via $HOSTn$
  3: make $HOSTn$ vars available in related object definitions

Maybe a pipe dream.  Worth throwing out though.  Maybe I'll look at a
hack where I pack the info into the $HOSTNOTES$ extended attributes

Re: [Nagios-users] Configuration Error - 3.0.b3

[Dennis Huenseler]

Hello out there,

 

the error means that you have a host in your windows.cfg which looks like

 

define host{

use windows-server  ; Inherit default values from a template

host_name   winserver   ; The name we're giving to this host

alias   My Windows Server   ; A longer name associated with 
the host

address 192.168.1.2 ; IP address of the host

hostgroups  allhosts; Host groups this server is associated 
with

}

 

Where the host is defined as a member of the hostgroup allhosts which isn't 
defined anywhere. Take a look at your configs where your hostgroups are defined 
and search for allhosts. If you can't find a matching entry just comment out 
the line

hostgroups  allhosts; Host groups this server is associated 
with

in your windows.cfg.

 

 

Kind regards, 

Dennis Hünseler

I have just installed nagios 3.0b3 on Linux box 2.4.21-47.ELsmp #1 SMP. I am

 Check your configuration file(s) to ensure that they contain valid

 directives and data defintions.  If you are upgrading from a previous

 version of Nagios, you should be aware that some variables/definitions

 may have been removed or modified in this version.  Make sure to read

 the HTML documentation regarding the config files, as well as the

 'Whats New' section to find out what has changed.

 

It works If I have comment out windows.cfg line in nagios.cfg - No error. But I 
also like to monitor my windows boxes.

So what I am doing wrong? Attached are cfg.cfg, nagios.cfg & windows.cfg
