Re: [Nagios-users] Host object redefinition
As an alternative, you could create an ssh tunnel to each of the machines (if they support it.) If not, maybe create an ssh tunnel to one machine and forward ports to other machines. Even though NRPE communication may be encrypted, it may be more secure to keep only one port open. my 2cents - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

With nagios-3, yes, but not with nagios-2. With nagios-2, you could
pass it as a $ARGx$ macro from each service definition or create an
nrpe command{} definition per host.

You should never see this if you have a host check that properly determines the state of the host. When the service returns a non-OK state, the host is checked immediately up to max_check_attempts. No service checks occur during this time. If the host is found to be down, all service notifications are suppressed until the host recovers. The Notifications documentation is more thorough on this. Are you sure that you have your parents directives set up properly? Are the service notifications for the services on the host that is down or child hosts? -- Marc - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

[Nagios-users] Host object redefinition
Hi all!
This is my first post in the list/newsgroup.
I've several hosts behind a firewall and I'd like to monitoring they
with Nagios. These host haven't a public IP. Then, mi idea was to
configure the firewall to redirect the Nagios server conection at
specific port in the firewall ---one per host without public IP behind
the firewall--- to remote NRPE listen port from the remote host.
Then, I'd like to redefine the host object to include a port variable
for call it in a general service definition. Example:
define host {
use linux-server-intranet
host_name sdptest
alias oracle server
address a.b.c.d
port 5000
parents beta
icon_image base/debian.gif
statusmap_image base/debian.gd2
}
define service {
use linux-server-intranet
host_name apstest
alias application server
address x.y.z.t
port 5001
parents beta
icon_image base/debian.gif
statusmap_image base/debian.gd2
}
# 'check_nrpe-intranet' command definition
define command{
command_namecheck_nrpe-intranet
command_line$USER1$/check_nrpe -H ip.of.the.fw -p $PORT$ -c $ARG2$
}
define service {
use generic-service
host_name apstest,sdptest
service_description Disk usage
check_command check_nrpe!check_disk
check_period 24x7
normal_check_interval 5
retry_check_interval 1
max_check_attempts3
}
Is it possible?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Daniel

[Nagios-users] Non-support/Interface question
I have been tasked with creating an easy to view frontend for our helpdesk. I was using NagVis for their frontend but their latest request seems both a little basic and sort of complex for NagVis. I am hoping someone will be able to recommend a method of doing this that is easy to maintain. What they, essentially, want is a table with three columns. The first column will be the name of the hostgroup, the second would be the applications for the hostgroup (A single indicator for all apps that goes red if a single app fails), and the third would be the actual hosts. The second two columns are simply a red/yellow/green indicator with some fourth option for acknowledged problems while the first will be text large enough to read on their wall mount plasma screens. I could do this in NagVis with a background image for the columns/rows but it seems it would be much simpler and easier to maintain as php, html, perl etc. I could code such a page but do not have the in depth knowledge of Nagios to hook in and get the status information needed for the page. Does anyone know of a tool that will accomplish this without much trouble or an easy guide to developing such a thing? Thanks to all in advance for an replies. Best Regards, Mark L.

Escalations aren't in effect, is_volatile is set to zero. notification_interval is 0 and no other nagios install has this problem. Can you stop Nagios, make really sure it isn't running and start it again? Also verify that absolutely nothing else is sending notifications. You can do that by replacing the notification script with a home- hacked version that logs something somewhere every time it sends a notification and then cross-check that log with your notifications. If it still sends multiple notifications, It'll be quite hard to fix without enabling debugging in nagios, and that's quite tedious :-/ -- Andreas Ericsson [EMAIL PROTECTED] OP5 AB www.op5.se Tel: +46 8-230225 Fax: +46 8-230231 - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

I found out via nagios. It said the duration was 6 hours for the
outage, and I couldn't match it up with any alerts that were sent to

You're using the wrong macros. Try changing $OUTPUT$ to $SERVICEOUTPUT$ in
your service notification macro. I don't know which one you want for
date/time, but a glance at the documentation will tell you.

Off the top of my head, you're not passing enough values for the -l
parameter.
On a more serious note, arguments are split by spaces when parsed by the
shell. Remove the ones that are trailing the commas in the check_command
line and it'll work just fine.

Randy, the only way I was able to do this was to write the return
temperature value in the message that the plug-in sent. Below, find my

Re: [Nagios-users] notification_interval seems to be ignored
Just a follow-up: Setting 'is_volatile 0' explicitly in the service definition didn't seem to affect this behavior; it still sent me 3 notifications, seemingly when the temperature changed. Thanks for any additional suggestions and advice. -Kevin -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Zembower, Kevin Sent: Monday, November 19, 2007 2:11 PM To: nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] notification_interval seems to be ignored Andreas, thanks for your response. My notification_interval is set to 0, so theoretically it should send me either no repeated notifications, or a notification every 5 minutes, my normal_check_interval. I triggered an ambient temperature warning and let it run for an hour and 42 minutes. The time between notifications was 10, 26, 5, 12, 5, 5 and 25 minutes. In each case, the temperature had changed from the previous notification. The only definition of is_volatile was in the generic-service_nagios2.cfg files, where it's set to 0. I've now included it explicitly in the service definition for my ambient temperature monitor. I'll let you know if this makes a difference.

[Nagios-users] Staggering epager notifications
We're having a problem with Sprint's email-to-pager gateway will refuse connections and defer messages with the response "Too many connections from host" when Nagios is trying to alert all of us at once that something has failed. Obviously, since we don't know it's happening unless we're in the office, this isn't necessarily a good thing -- the person who really needs to respond might not get their notification for minutes or hours, and in the meantime, the service is down. We've found that if we send messages with a 5-second gap, Sprint doesn't complain about us spamming their gateway. Is there a way to get Nagios (or alternately the MTA, which I realize would be off-topic, but I'm not a MTA guy) to stagger out the notifications --without some arcane hack like using escalations?

Re: [Nagios-users] Monitoring hosts and DHCP
Hi Benny, Thank you for the reply, but unfortunately I'm not using DNS, and I don't want to have to :-) Just want to know if there is a way to monitor hosts that obtain their IP address via DHCP. I'll continue to see what I can do with this, and will reply to the list if I find a solution.

[Nagios-users] Service notifications for a down host?
I'm looking for a little behavior confirmation here, please. It's my understanding that a failed service check is one way a host check is initiated. If Nagios determines the host is down, further service problem notifications are suppressed. However, I still get one or more notifications for the initial service problems. Wouldn't Nagios suppress those initial service checks until at least one host check has been made? For illustration, I have a remote site with host parent/child relationships configured. If the site goes down, I get about 2 dozen service notifications from various child hosts before it realizes the top parent host is down and suppresses notifications for that site. I then receive the one host recovery along with the 2 dozen or so service recovery messages. I had hoped to not receive any service notifications in this scenario. Is this expected behavior? Thank you very much! Doug Tabb - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

Re: [Nagios-users] notification_interval seems to be ignored
Andreas, thanks for your response. My notification_interval is set to 0, so theoretically it should send me either no repeated notifications, or a notification every 5 minutes, my normal_check_interval. I triggered an ambient temperature warning and let it run for an hour and 42 minutes. The time between notifications was 10, 26, 5, 12, 5, 5 and 25 minutes. In each case, the temperature had changed from the previous notification. The only definition of is_volatile was in the generic-service_nagios2.cfg files, where it's set to 0. I've now included it explicitly in the service definition for my ambient temperature monitor. I'll let you know if this makes a difference.

On the topic of this RDP test, I'd love to know if anyone has a better
test to actually use the protocol, since anything could theoretically
take port 3389 and this test wouldn't catch it.
I currently also check_tcp as my RDP test but it feels cheap... with VNC
I actually wrote a plugin to log in to VNC, pull one image to know it's
all working and then give the OK once it has done that, which seemed
much better. It would be great if I could have such a thing for RDP too...

That doesn't look wrong.
Make sure the template generic-service defines all obligatory values.
What does the error say in detail? (nagios -v output).
This is the way my RDP monitoring is set up:
define service {

flap_detection_enabled 0
process_perf_data 1
retain_status_information 1
retain_nonstatus_information1
register0
is_volatile 0
check_period24x7
max_check_attempts 5
normal_check_interval 5
retry_check_interval1
contact_groups contacts

notification_period 24x7
notification_optionsc,r
}
define command{
command_namecheck_tcp
command_line$USER1$/check_tcp -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -p $ARG1$
}
Also make sure, check_tcp is really located under $USER1$.

It would be useful to see your command definition for 'check_tcp'.
Also, it would be helpful to know what the error said, not just that you
received an error of some sort.

[Nagios-users] Newbie installation question
I am looking to implement Nagios for monitoring a dedicated remote web server that I have. I currently have a local Linux server that I could install Nagios on, however my internet connectivity can be flaky at times and if I monitor a remote server I may get more "failure warnings" than I care to. The quick start seems to assume that Nagios would be installed on a local server, or at least one in which you had local x-windows access to, can this be installed without having "localhost" access? and why would or would I not want to do this?

Re: [Nagios-users] notification_interval seems to be ignored
Still trying to investigate why the notification_interval seems to be ignored on my alert based on the ambient temperature in my server room. One thought that I had was that the temperature was changing between alerts, even though it was still in the critical or warning state. Would this cause repeated notifications to be sent out? I've pasted in the last notification I received at the end of this message. Note that the duration is just 6 seconds, even though it arrived 10 minutes after the first notification. I also just received a third alert, 40 minutes after the first one. On this one, the temperature was also different from the second one. The duration was again 6 seconds. So, it does seem as if if the service message changes (the temperature value changes), the alert is sent again. Anyway to stop this feature, and only send alerts when the state changes?

[Nagios-users] check_by_ssh failing on commands that work via remote ssh as the nagios user
Nagios: 2.10 Plugins: 1.4.9 OS: SLES 9.3 I am having some trouble figuring out how to make check_by_ssh work properly. I think I have done all of the usual troubleshooting and I have googled the issue to no avail: Command as nagios user on the remote server: /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_load -w 7,7,7 -c 10,10,10 OK - load average: 0.01, 0.04, 0.03|load1=0.010;7.000;10.000;0; load5=0.040;7.000;10.000;0; load15=0.030;7.000;10.000;0; Command as nagios user via ssh on Nagios server: ssh ulwswas01 "/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_load -w 7,7,7 -c 10,10,10" OK - load average: 0.05, 0.07, 0.04|load1=0.050;7.000;10.000;0; load5=0.070;7.000;10.000;0; load15=0.040;7.000;10.000;0; check_by_ssh attempt as nagios user on Nagios server: /check_by_ssh -H ulwswas01 -C "/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_load -w 7,7,7 -c 10,10,10" Remote command execution failed: I get nothing in the log files concerning this and it makes little sense. I have tried everything I need to have working, to the best of my knowledge, as the nagios use and it works. Thanks in advance for any help! Best Regards, Mark L.

[Nagios-users] Monitoring hosts and DHCP
Hello,
I'm monitoring about 30 machines using Nagios with SNMP checks. I also have
a DHCP server casting each machine on the network their IP address on
start-up. Some machines stay on the majority of the time, others for only
4-8 hours a day. The machines generally maintain their same IP address over
time as DHCP is designed to try and give a machine back it's same IP, so
long as it's available. However, there have been times when a machine has
changed its IP addresses as a result of using DHCP on this LAN.
Question:
When I write the host macro for a given machine, e.g:
define host{
host_name random_machine
address192.168.1.100
check_command check_ping
}
Is there a way to have nagios use a variable to read its address rather than
keep the address static? This would allow me to have a script scan the
network, and assign IPs to a given variable which is then read by the host's
*.cfg file in the /etc/objects directory.
Any and all advice is appreciated.
Thank you,

[Nagios-users] SELinux problem at startup
Hello: I just finished installing version 2.10 from rpms from the rpmforge repository on a CentOS 5 machine. (I've used nagios for some years now both compiled and from binaries). This time I couldn't get the init.d script to successfully start because of some SELinux limitation. Running the string of commands from the command line worked fine. i.e.: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# touch /var/run/nagios.pid [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# chown nagios:nagios /var/run/nagios.pid [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# /usr/bin/nagios -d /etc/nagios/nagios.cfg [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# /etc/init.d/nagios status nagios (pid 25170) is running... left me with a running nagios daemon. However: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# /etc/init.d/nagios restart Running configuration check...done Stopping nagios: done. Starting nagios: done. always failed. In the nagios.log I saw: [1195481305] Nagios 2.10 starting... (PID=23272) [1195481305] LOG VERSION: 2.0 [1195481305] You do not have permission to write to /var/run/nagios.pid [1195481305] Bailing out due to errors encountered while attempting to daemonize... (PID=23272) If I did setenforce=0 (putting selinux into "permissive" mode) then the init script worked. What I did to overcome this was a chcon on the nagios binary, as follows: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# chcon -t bin_t /usr/bin/nagios [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# ll -Z /usr/bin/nagios -rwxrwxr-- root root system_u:object_r:bin_t /usr/bin/nagios And now the init script works fine. Not sure this is the best way to overcome the problem. If anyone more versed in selinux can help, I'd like to hear... Cheers, Micha - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
