Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios 3.0b5 - ePN and perl caching [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

[Stanley.Hopcroft]

Dear Larry, 

There are debugging hooks in p1.pl that would be useful to enable. 

If you are interested in helping deal with this problem please would you


1 Back up your original copy of p1.pl (path is specified in nagios.cfg
IIRC) 

2 Change the DEBUG_LEVEL to 

use constant  DEBUG_LEVEL => LEAVE_MSG | CACHE_DUMP ; 

3 Change the DEBUG_LOG_PATH to something appropriate for your system eg 

use constantDEBUG_LOG_PATH => '/tmp/' ; 

4 Make p1.pl still compiles (perl -c p1.pl should be nag free; $? == 0) 

5 Restart Nagios 

(IIRC, all this is documented in POD format in p1.pl, so perldoc p1.pl
should show 

... blah blah 

  Extra logging is given by setting DEBUG_LEVEL to include 

   LEAVE_MSG 

   1 opens an extra output stream in the path given by the value of 
   DEBUG_LOG_PATH 

   2 logs messages describing the success or otherwise of the plugin
com- 
   pilation and the result of the plugin run. 

   An example of such messages are 

Fri Apr 22 11:54:21 2005 eval_file: successfully compiled
"/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_bass ". 
Fri Apr 22 11:54:21 2005 run_package:
"/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_bass " returning ("0", "BASS
Transaction completed Ok.

"). 
Fri Apr 22 11:55:02 2005 eval_file: successfully compiled
"/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_ad -D production.prod -S".

Fri Apr 22 11:55:02 2005 run_package:
"/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_ad -D foo.dom -S" returning ("0", "Ok.
Expected 2 domain controllers [foo1 foo2] for "foo.dom.prod" domain from
"1.1.2.3" DNS, found 8 [foo1 foo2 ..]

"). 

.. blah blah 
) 

In my case I see

Unfortch, although the log stream should be unbuffered, it wasn't being
flushed while Nag was running. I had to restart Nag again to

get the messages flushed (when I changed the path for the log messages).


You prob should ensure that the problem plugin is scheduled frequently
(eg each 5 mins) and let it run for about 5 check periods.

Please post the results to the list. 

Thank you, 

Yours sincerely.

Yep, that was it. I changed a few things there to reflect the Nagios 
settings on my test box:

** ndo2db.cfg **

ndo2db_user=nagios
ndo2db_group=nagios

#db_user=ndouser
#db_pass=ndopassword
db_user=nagios
db_pass=nagios

#socket_type=unix <---this enabled was the problem, so I enabled "tcp"
socket_type=tcp

Thank you very much for your help, Patrick!

Groundwork Open Source is an excellent front end for Nagios, providing
a full configuration GUI. Best thing to do is:

Download the Groundwork Open Source VM from

http://richard.trezza.us/vmach/index.html

and then check out this

https://wiki.chpc.utah.edu/index.php/Groundwork_Monitor_Implementation

Should be enough to get you started in evaluating.

GWOS eliminates a lot of "by hand" configuration (at least for the
main Nagios configuration files themselves. I still find myself
writing plugins by hand, but I never need to touch the main
configuration files for Nagios.

Thank you for the very clear synopsis of the problem.

I have not had that experience with 3.0b4 (a few funny behaviours, but
by and large, like 2.9).

You have got someones attention here.

FYI (and also to save me a reply to Andreas) the ePN stuff mainly
happens in p1.pl.

This code 

1 manages a cache of compiled plugins (ie checks if the mtime of the
plugin is different to the cached value and recompiles if it is)

2 transforms the plugin to a Perl subroutine in a package named (with a
mangled name) like the plugins file name

3 calls the subroutine if the mtime has not changed (and the compilation
is clean).

What you describe should not happen, and moreover the new stuff in 3.0
has not changed (at least as far as I can see) the interface (from that
in 2.x) to Perl in checks.c and utils.c. 

Would you send me the plugin privately so I can inspect it ?

What do you need in your front end?

Nagios comes with a CGI that provides a web-based interface. Not useful 
for custom configurations, but it is useful to view status of hosts and 
services, disabling/enabling notifications, etc.

Haven't done much with Grounworks.

I've played mostly with NagiosQL and Fruity.  Fruity, I hear, is better, 
but I'm more familiar with some of the NagiosQL quirks.

I'm looking for a good front end for Nagios. Our Nagios server is running 
Solaris, so something that seems to work well in Solaris. It can either be

Looks like you've specified a socket path in either ndomod.cfg or
ndo2db.cfg that doesn't exist.

Thanks, Patrick!

That seemed to get me going.

I upgraded to MySQL-devel 5, I ran a "make clean", recompiled
everthing (./configure && make) and then copied the binaries in the
right places

Now all I gotta do is figure out why it's not connecting when I run

There should be no need to modify any header files on CentOS to get
ndoutils to compile correctly.

Did you install the mysql-devel package before compiling? If the correct
files and libraries are not installed at build time, ndoutils will
compile fine, but will not include an database support.

There should be plenty of output from the configure command indicating
what database support will be compiled in, if any.

[Patrick Morris]

There should be no need to modify config.h on CentOS.

If you can't find the mysql headers on your machine, you'll need to
install them fist before building ndoutils if you want MySQL support.
the output from the configure command will tell you whether it found
them or not.

I am getting an error following the README file in NDOutils, and
another post here on NagiosExchange (http://tinyurl.com/2jnef8) leads
me to believe that I'm not modifying my config.h script correctly for
my CentOS 4.5 environment.

NDOutils seem to compile fine (i.e. "./configure && make"), but I'm having
problems when I try to run the final command in the README file, and
am not quite sure what to do now.

* problems ***

ndo2db-2x -c /etc/nagios/ndo2db.cfg

Support for the specified database server is either not yet supported,
or was not found on your system.


(I'm running MySQL 5, so version isn't an issue)

Someone else here on the list (http://tinyurl.com/2jnef8) suggested modding the
config.h file in order to eliminate that command

CHANGE

#include 
#include 

TO

#include 
#include 

However, when I looked for mysql.h (e.g. "locate mysql.h") I couldn't
find find them (maybe b/c I installed from package?).

Might anyone here know what I might need to do to modify this script
for CentOS so that ./configure will run properly here?

Perfect, I can bounce the Nagios service now!

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios Problem

[David Fulton]

One other thing, when I look at the config in the Web interface, every
host that I have defined says that Active Checks are disabled, I went
ahead and checked my templates and they seem okay. Unless I am missing
something I have attached the templates file for our host structure just
in case.

"C: Disk Space" (without the quotes) and I know that the : is okay in

I checked it out and after a restart of nagios, it checks everything
right away. Then it stops checking for 30 minutes (before I noticed it
had stopped again). Then I restarted it again and it is currently
checking everything again.

I can send command and it works via the web interface. I turned off
performance monitoring globally. I make extensive use of templates. We
have configured 864 service checks on 114 hosts.

Ok, that makes sense.  I have used passive checks in conjunction with
active checks, never exclusively and don't foresee ever having that
situation.  :)

Thanks for your help!

[Nagios-users] Simple Question: How to get a host parent?

[Livio Zanol Puppim]

Is there anyway I could retrieve a host parent?

I have looked at the MACROS and at NDO DataBase, and couldn't find anything
that could do this...

Nagios 2.6
Debian
NDO 1.4b4

Thanks,
Lívio Zanol Puppim

It's not needed but it's a safety net in case whatever is sending the
passive checks stops doing so. Nagios would happily continue to report
the last check it received before the submission process died forever.
Freshness checking allows nagios to recognize that it hasn't seen any
recent results for that host in some configurable time and runs the
hosts check_command to be pro-active. The documentation covers some
scenarios about what that check_command can/should be.

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios Problem

[David Fulton]

I already tried that, It simply stops checking. Once in a while it
copies the status info from the /tmp directory, but other than that is
is just a bump on a log. I even thought it could be because I was
sending performance data to Perfparsed via named pipe and a short perl
script. But even with that off, it just stops.

I am not using passive checks (yet).  I can see where I would in the
future so I will turn freshness back on and change the host check
command to check_dummy.   Why is freshness needed for passive checks?

Nagios will always run host checks as needed unless you specifically
tell it not to by setting check_period to none or removing the host's
check_command entirely. These are called on-demand checks and are
different than active and passive checks.

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/checkscheduling.html#host_checks

The first option controls whether nagios periodically checks the state
of a host regardless of the state of services on that host (an active
check). You normally don't need that nor do you normally want to enable
it. Your current setting is appropriate.

The second option controls whether nagios periodically checks whether
there has been a 'recent' check result submitted for this host
(unrelated to any services on that host). This is almost always
associated with passive host check submissions and requires
check_freshness to be enabled in the host definition and for you to be
submitting passive host check results. You have not indicated that you
are using passive host checks and I would expect that you would be very
aware of that if you were. As such, this setting has no impact/value for
you.

I didn't realize that the "person" who was only supposed to receive one
contact was the same for all notifications.  In that case, your custom
notification script approach is definitely faster/cleaner than my
suggestion of using escalations.

Good job!

Re: [Nagios-users] ping check with packet size?

OK, before I get spanked by the list members: looks like check_fping
will support this... I just did not have fping installed when I
compiled the plugins, so didnt' notice that option. I'll install it
and try that.

Thanks for your reply.  Why is nagios even checking it given the
configuration: ?

check_interval=0
check_host_freshness=0

It will assume the host is up if the very first check of a service on
that host is successful. After that, there are no further assumptions.
It would appear that you have had a service change state at some point,
forcing nagios to perform the failing host check. The service recovered
and nagios re-ran the host check to show proper host state, which again
failed. You end up with the service UP, host DOWN state. 

Your best option is to just change the host check_command to something
that does work, at least enough for you to be reasonably confident that
the host is up given your circumstances. check_tcp to a port you know to
be very reliable would be sufficient. Other options might be to use
check_dummy as the host check_command so that the state is always OK or
even to not perform host checks at all for this host.

[Nagios-users] ping check with packet size?

I have a need to set up a ping check using a specified packet size.
It seems that check_ping nor check_icmp have this option.
Has anyone had a need to do this and found a workaround?

[Nagios-users] load problems while accessing availablility reports in nagios

[vuppala rupesh]

Hi
I have nagios2.x running from couple of years. Recently i have  recognized 
one problem  while pulling availability reports, server load is going too high. 
I have stopped monitoring few devices which are not  necessary, is there a way 
i can delete the information from nagios which is not not necessary and more 
than one year back. Please advice on this.


Thanks
vuppala

Re: [Nagios-users] check_iftraffic.pl plugin

[Alex Dehaini]

Frederik,

It works now but the values I am getting is different from what by my
MRTG/Cacti is giving me.

The check_iftraffic.pl plugin gives me

Total RX Bytes: 1434.86 MB, Total TX Bytes: 2213.91 MB
Average Traffic: 3.66 kB/s (0.0%) in, 3.77 kB/s (0.0%) out

My MTRG gives me

inbound = 50
outbound = 75

Why is the plugin giving me a different value? I know the MRTG value is
correct because when I work the eth0 interface with snmp, it gives me the
same value as the MRTG.

Thanks or your help so far.

Regards,
Alex

Re: [Nagios-users] nagios and local syslog

[Dennis Hünseler]

Hi Oliver,

one possibilty would be to use syslog-ng and define a filter which matches
"Nagios" and seperate it this way.

Re: [Nagios-users] check_iftraffic.pl plugin

[Alex Dehaini]

Frederik,

I run the plugin from the command line. How do I disable the embedded perl
intepreter. Can you furnish me with your syntax on how you used this plugin.

Thanks

[oboissard]

Hello

Is anyone know how to do it ?
By default , logs arrive in /val/log/messages file .

Nagios thinks it's an object configuration file, which it isn't.
I'm not sure where you read that you can send config options to
modules from nagios' config file. AFAIK, you can't. Instead, you
have to send the option on the same line as where you're loading
the module (modules are initialized with one argument, AFAIR).

Umm, wouldn't it be enough to just stash away the mtime of the plugin when
it's run and re-cache it whenever it's been modified?

It seems straightforward enough, but perhaps I've missed something?

[Nagios-users] Nagios Problem

[David Fulton]

I am having serious problems with Nagios v3.04b. For some reason it
simply stops checking services and hosts. I have looked into this and
been unable to figure out why. I have played with the check times,
service reaper times, timeperiods. I even re-compiled PERL to be
non-threading (not a simple task on a system that is already up and
running). I am getting frustrated and was wondering if anyone out there
had similar problems with it. This didn't crop up until recently but I
am unable to point to any one event that could have caused the problem.

 

Please help
David Fulton

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios 3.0b5 - ePN and perl caching [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

[Larry Low]

This is without making changes to the script.

Scenario:

1) ./configure --prefix=/opt/Nagios --enable-event-broker
--with-embedded-perl (I have tried --without-perlcache as well and have not
had time to sift through code to see if this is the actual problem)
2) Have an ePN script with sub print_help
3) Execute 1st check of ePN script, returns OK, no problem
4) Execute 2nd check of ePN script and ePN compile reports print_help
function is redeclared

If I compile without embedded-perl the problem does not exist.

I should probably post this to the devel list.

Do you mean that, after you change a plugin that Nagios is running, ePN
fails to compile the modified plugin with this (spurious) error code ?

If so, I am running 2.9 and have this problem.

Reluctantly I have found that the only way to deal with this is restart
Nagios after a plugin mod. 

It is a PITA. 

Patches welcome.

Re: [Nagios-users] check_iftraffic.pl plugin

[Alex Dehaini]

Thanks Marc,

I got the plug in from www.nagiosexchange.org, sorry I didn't specify that
earlier

I gave the traffic files in /tmp nagios group and user ownership and after
that, I ran the following command as the nagios user and this is the result
I got

I reckon this means that the plug in is working when ran from the nagios
plugin directory via the command line. However, the UNKNOWN error still
remains as reported from the the web cgi.

Am I missing something?

Alex

[Nagios-users] host checking logic

[Terry]

Hello,

I have a host that will not be reachable via icmp (check-host-alive).
However, it will have services that are, check_tcp for example.
Nagios is detecting the host as down but services as up.  I have host
checks and host freshness disabled:

check_interval=0
check_host_freshness=0

I always assumed (ya, i know) that nagios assumed the host was up if
it had services that were OK.  Obviously I am wrong or have something
misconfigured.  How can I get around this issue?

Thanks!

Rick, thanks for your reply.  That would work but I don't want to
create an explicit service escalation for every single service I have.

I got this working with a very ugly notification script.  It is a 5
minute script and I suck at scripting so be gentle.   But it works.
In a nutshell, it checks to see if the notification is the first
notification.  If it is, go ahead and send the email.  However, if it
is NOT the first notification, and the contact email address is our
ticket system email address, exit 0.  Also, I use sendEmail as my
sending program  http://caspian.dotconf.net/menu/Software/SendEmail/

The command in nagios is:
define command{
command_namenotify-by-email
command_line/usr/bin/printf "%b" "Notification Type:
$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\n\nService: $SERVICEDESC$\nHost:
$HOSTALIAS$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nState:
$SERVICESTATE$\n\nDate/Time: $LONGDATETIME$\n\nAdditional
Info:\n\n$SERVICEOUTPUT$" | /usr/lib/nagios/eventhandlers/notification
$SERVICENOTIFICATIONNUMBER$ smtp.server.com [EMAIL PROTECTED]
$CONTACTEMAIL$ "** $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ alert -
$HOSTALIAS$/$SERVICEDESC$ is $SERVICESTATE$ **"
}


Finally, here is the script:

#!/usr/bin/perl

$servicenotificationnumber = $ARGV[0];
$server = $ARGV[1];
$from = $ARGV[2];
$to = $ARGV[3];
$subject = "$ARGV[4]";

unless ($ARGV[1]) {
print "ERROR:  You need to specify some arguments like this:\n\n";
print q!/usr/bin/printf "%b" "$message" |
/usr/lib/nagios/eventhandlers/notification 1 $server $from $to
"$subject"!;
print "\n";
exit 1;
}

@message = ;

if ($to =~ /[EMAIL PROTECTED]/i) {
if ($servicenotificationnumber == 1) {
send_email();
}
} else {
send_email();
}

sub send_email {
$output = `/usr/bin/printf "%b" "$message"`;
`/usr/bin/sendEmail -s $server -f $from -t $to -u "$subject"
-m "@message"`;
}

When asking questions about a non-standard plugin, it's very helpful to
provide specific details about where you got it from. How do we know the
check_iftraffic.pl that google tells us about as the top hit is the same
one you're using?

"NO output!" typically means the plugin is reporting errors.

This implies a permissions issue. Testing as root isn't useful since
nagios isn't running the plugin as root. Do the same test again, except
as the nagios user. I'll bet you get different and more informative
results.



I'm going to take a very arbitrary guess and assume that I'm looking at
the same plugin as you. It uses a temporary file, hard-coded as
/tmp/traffic. Based on your test above, that file is almost certainly
owned by root and probably isn't modifiable by the nagios user. Change
ownership/permissions of the file or remove it entirely, then test again
as the nagios user.

[Nagios-users] check_iftraffic.pl plugin

[Alex Dehaini]

Hi Guys,

I need some help on how to use the check_iftraffic.pl plug in. I want nagios
to notify me if any of my servers reach a 150kbits/sec on their NIC. This is
what I have done so far.

1. I downloaded the plug in and gave it the appropriate ownership and
permissions.
2. I added the plugin to the command.cfg file and this is what I added to
the file

# 'check_iftraffic' command definition
define command{
command_namecheck_iftraffic
command_line$USER1$/check_iftraffic.pl -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C
$USER3$ -i $ARG1$ -b $ARG2$ -u m
}

3. I added the following service to one of my linux servers that has a NIC
named eth0, this is what I added

define service{
use dns1-service
host_name   DNS2
service_description Traffic Load eth0
check_command   check_iftraffic!community!eth0!100
}

After these, nagios report an unknown error for this service on the web cgi
interface, nagios says:

DNS1
   [image:
DNS 
Servers]
Traffic
Load 
eth0
  [image:
Notifications for this service have been
disabled]
UNKNOWN 10-11-2007 15:10:44 0d 0h 2m 22s 3/6 (No output!)
Can anyone please assist me. When I run this from the plug in directory, I
get results, forexample

Re: [Nagios-users] problem with instance_name variable in ndomod.cfg

Hi!

I don't use ndoutils but I think I can help. See comments below --

Is line 230 the line beginning 'config_file...'? My reading of the
ndoutils README is that those should be on one line with the config_file
as an argument to ndomod.o --

broker_module=/usr/bin/ndomod.o config_file=/etc/nagios/ndomod.cfg

The only directive that nagios understands above is broker_module.
That's why you're seeing the other errors when you try to force nagios
to parse 'config_file' and 'instance_name' as regular nagios directives.
Those are only understood by ndomod.

Hi Sukesh,

>From reading your email i take it you can sucessfully connect to the
remote NRPE host via telnet.

   [EMAIL PROTECTED]  :~> telnet host1.somedomain.com 
5666
   Trying xxx.xxx.xxx.199...
   Connected to host1.somedomain.com.
   Escape character is '^]'.

If this is correct then NRPE is accepting connections.

You said in the previous mail that NRPE is working correctly on one
machine but not on another. This sounds like you have some configuration
differences between the two boxes.

We really need to have more details to help you with this problem.

What OS is running on the two remote boxes?

Is it the same OS on both boxes.

Can you send snippets off your configuration THAT RELATE TO nrpe?
NRPE.CFG. SERVICES.CFG CHECKCOMMAND.CFG etc

Have you carried out the following

Turn on debugging on the remote host running nrpe and see what comes out
in the logs?

To do this edit your nrpe.cfg file and turn debugging on

debugging=1

An example off NRPE debugging turned on
