Re: [Nagios-users] Adding a CFG file for virtual machines

Hi Mike,
Well, the obvious question of course is - have you defined a
virtual-servers template anywhere in your virtual config file? When
you define the use statement in a host definition, there must be a
template of the same name (since thats what the use statement means).
Check the Nagios docs on Object Inheritance (under Advanced Topics in
2.x docs, or via links in the Object File configuration section).

Re: [Nagios-users] RES: RES: NRPE question
I use cfengine for this very purpose. Just drop a new plugin into a directory and it's automatically sync'd out to all the monitored servers.

Seems you have the same idea as me, I was actually talking about push not pulls in the first instance, which is nice because it's instant and you can write stuff in like regression tests which I like doing, so that new stuff is tested as working, rather than you changing something and then finding out it's broken after the fact you sent it to all your servers. For the pull scenario, something like cfengine does seem to be the way to go. I may even consider switching at some point, but I do have a nice setup already... -h -- Hari Sekhon - SF.Net email is sponsored by: The Future of Linux Business White Paper from Novell.

the question I have is why would nagios send DOWN/UP alerts for all
the
hosts it is monitoring when it is just the host that it is on loses
connectivity.
The question is why is this surprising? Your description is that the
machine nagios is running on loses network connectivity. Nagios can not
reach network hosts that it is monitoring so it believes them to be down
and sends notifications. You've not given nagios any way to tell
otherwise.
If you're unable to create a more stable environment for nagios
(generally a mission-critical service), I'd recommend creating a
host/service check for the default gateway and set that as the parent
for all your other hosts. If the hosts become unreachable, nagios will
verify if the default gateway is down and notify appropriately.

[Nagios-users] XML Document Content Matching
Hello everyone. I am in the process of migrating all our monitoring to a Nagios solution. Ultimately this will make our lives easier but it is a little cumbersome to migrate. We have a lot being monitored. Everything was going smoothly until I tried to implement our RSS monitors in Nagios. Our current check for our RSS feeds are in SiteScope 7.9.5. SiteScope had the ability to content match values in the XML document. So I could do a content check similar to: xml.rss.[version]=2.0,xml.rss.[xmlns:dc]=http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1 / Is there a plugin for Nagios that will do the same sort of content check? I have searched NagiosExchange to no success. If necessary I can make something work with check_http (or check_curl.php) or write a plugin. Jeff PS: Sorry if this eventually posts to the list twice.

Hi, On 29/11/2007, Jeremy C. Reed [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I want my final failed services to be rechecked faster that my normal checks. I want this so I will be notified quicker when the service is successful again. (I already use retry_check_interval with max_check_attempts, but I want an interval when the service is in HARD state.) If I understand correctly what you wish to do then I think you can achieve this using a combination of event handlers and external commands. Create an event handler to be triggered when the service goes into the state you are interested in and then from the event handler script post external commands back into nagios to increase the retry check interval.

Re: [Nagios-users] Two nagios processes
HI, Sometimes, nagios hangs with two nagios processes: I think you'll find that nagios will spawn off another process for some of its checks (I certainly see the occassional second nagios process running on my FreeBSD 6.2 based system). It could be that the check being performed at the time (be it a standard plugin or a home grown script) is not getting the response it is expected, is looping, or doing something else rather strange - what investigation have you carried out into the checks active at the time it goes ? -- bright blessings, Mark - SF.Net email is sponsored by: The Future of Linux Business White Paper from Novell.

Re: [Nagios-users] check_host_alive warns for wrong IP {Disarmed} {Fraud?}
On Dec 5, 2007, at 1:34 AM, Dinçer Kavraal wrote: Hi all, I think check_host_alive has got sth wrong with it. I have controlled output of check_host_alive when I saw my host down. It was saying: (on page nagios/cgi-bin/extinfo.cgi? bla bla for host detail) CRITICAL - Host Unreachable (85.29.1.77) However the fact is that I have grepped all relevant nagios configuration files and never seen an IP like 85.29.1.77, I just defined host with IP .26.77. On the other hand, I tried to run it on console, expectedly it said: CRITICAL - Host Unreachable (85.29.26.77) This is pretty unusual. Please post the host and command definitions. For a typical installation, check_host_alive uses check_ping which is just a wrapper for /bin/ping. It asks /bin/ping to ping the host and parses it's output for the response. Could it have been that IP in the config file at any time? Do you have multiple copies of nagios running with the older one having seen that IP in the config files? -- Marc - SF.Net email is sponsored by: The Future of Linux Business White Paper from Novell.

Re: [Nagios-users] Adding a CFG file for virtual machines
Hi,
I would like to add a separate group within Nagios for my virtual machines.
I created a file called virtual.cfg and changed the HOST GROUP DEFINITION to
the following:
Firstly, your hostgroup does not appear to have any members defined within it ?
ie.
define hostgroup{
hostgroup_name smtp-servers
alias mail servers
members smtp1,smtp2
}
Secondly,
Your 'use' statement should typically be that of an 'unregistered'
'define host' definition and not a hostgroup definition.
ie.
define host{
namevirtual-host ; The name
of this host template - referenced in other host definitions
notifications_enabled 1 ; Host
notifications are enabled
notification_period 24x7
event_handler_enabled 0 ; Host event
handler is enabled
flap_detection_enabled 1 ; Flap
detection is enabled
process_perf_data 1 ; Process
performance data
retain_status_information 1 ; Retain
status information across program restarts
retain_nonstatus_information1 ; Retain
non-status information across program restarts
contact_groups admin,techsupp
notification_interval 60
notification_optionsd,u,r
check_period24x7
max_check_attempts 3
normal_check_interval 10
passive_checks_enabled 1
obsess_over_host1
register0 ; DONT
REGISTER THIS DEFINITION
}
as the template, and something like :-
define host{
use virtual-host
host_name smtp1
alias (smtp1) incoming smtp server
address ???.???.???.???
check_command check-host-alive
}
for the actual virtual host.

[Nagios-users] Adding a CFG file for virtual machines
I would like to add a separate group within Nagios for my virtual
machines. I created a file called virtual.cfg and changed the HOST
GROUP DEFINITION to the following:
Define hostgroup {
hostgroup_namevirtual-servers ; the name of the
hostgroup
alias Virtual Servers ; long
name of the group
}
For each host definition, the 'use' statement is as follows:
Use virtual-servers ; Inherit default values from a template
In the nagios.cfg file, I have added the following statement:
Cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/virtual.cfg
When I verify the configuration files, I get the following error:
Error: Template 'virtual-servers' specified in host definition could not
be not found (config file '/usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/virtual.cfg'.
starting on line 39
I think I am missing a step or two to include this new cfg file. Any
help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike
