[Nagios-users] DNX Version 0.18 Released!
Hi everyone, I'm pleased to announce the release of version 0.18 of the Distributed Nagios eXecutor (DNX) project. I sincerely apologize for the short time period between versions 0.17 and 0.18 (about 4 days!), but I felt that it was critical that the most significant changes between these two versions be made available to the public as soon as possible. Besides the excellent fixes, enhancements, and changes found in 0.17, version 0.18 also includes the following changes: - Fixed problem where dnxClient would stop processing jobs after a while, thread pool bug - all threads would terminate - thanks to Alessandro Ren, Jesse Caldwell and William Leibzon! - Added code to fix TIME_WAIT state issues on restart. - Added code to display the same version information from dnxstats as from command line. - Added code to have server return human-readable "OK" message on dnxstats commands that didn't previously have reply text. Currently, I believe that this release has no more major defects (obviously this belief is subject to change). We on the DNX project team fully intend to continue adding functionality, both to meet our original design goals, and to add features requested on the dnx-devel and dnx-users mailing lists. Nevertheless, we feel this is the most stable DNX release to date. http://dnx.sourceforge.net http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/dnx Please download and enjoy!

I know I don't have a 'problem' listed below that can easily be solved, but surely there are some opinions out there? Alright, I'll respond. Most of the time I usually just lurk here, most questions are usually answered quite well by others in a relatively short time. This is my 2 cents.

WMI can fail. From time to time we have a server with WMI problems, we've been able to fix WMI at times, other times we've had to rebuild the OS, in those cases you would not have any monitoring. WMI is used by other things as well, and is susceptible to getting corrupted or reconfigured by something (or in our case someone) else. I think we've resolved most of our issues with WMI, however I learned that if it's broken, it does not matter why you can't use it to monitor anything until it's fixed. WMI requires common MS technology such as common MS network ports and Windows (AD) user accounts for security. This is not a problem for the most part but increases the risk when monitoring a DMZ for example and means your monitoring is dependant upon AD and thus anything AD needs (like DNS), etc. If AD or DNS goes down you've got bigger problems than whether or not your Nagios agents are working, however it that is how you watch everything then when they fail will you know it? >2) Agent checks - NRPE-NT or some other current Windows Agent >Pros Your not relying on a MS technology. Obviously the OS has to be available but your not dependant upon WMI or .NET or MDAC, etc. This may sound ironic but having your monitoring system as independent of the system it's watching as possible the better (IMO). Flexibility/Extensibility. For example the agent we use (nscp) (found here: http://trac.nakednuns.org/nscp - don't ask me about the URL I don't know why it is what it is - it seems safe though) is very flexible supporting both the original NSClient on the Nagios server side or NRPE and can check pretty much anything (including, WMI, perfmon, event logs, plus some built in checks and custom scripts). The documentation is not one of it's strong points, but it is very capable and reliable. I've struggled at times getting a particular type of check working because I could not understand the docs. I have not run into any problems with it in terms of crashes or memory leaks, etc. After about two years of using it (various versions) I can only think of twice when it has either generated an error or stopped running and that covers over 200 Windows boxes. It can be installed and uninstalled without server reboots. It just works, I like it. Better docs would be nice though. I'm not trying to sell you on this particular agent or even agents in general, this is my experience. >Cons >-Requires an agent setup and running on every Windows Server >-No direct control of agents/check commands Some checks via an agent (like custom scripts) are not as quick as SNMP (and probably WMI). >3) SNMP based checks >Pros >-Complete control over check commands on Nagios Server SNMP checks are very fast Once configured no changes are required on the server (i.e. SNMP does not require version upgrades, etc.) >Cons >-No direct control of SNMP Community Strings/ACL allowing access from Nagios >-No direct control of SNMP service The values exposed via SNMP on Windows servers is limited. You can do basic monitoring disks, ram, cpu, etc. But not advanced things such as CPU user mode vs. kernel mode usage. You can get an SNMP extension such as SNMP-Informant (http://www.snmp-informant.com/) to resolve this issue. SNMP can fail. We have a small portion of our servers both 2000 and 2003 where SNMP service won't stay running. We do some SNMP monitoring but not a lot, I've not solved this one yet. >How do you do it?

Re: [Nagios-users] Monitoring Windows Servers - Comparing Options
No input from anyone? One of the selling points to move away from proprietary solutions and towards OSS was the helpfulness of the community and mailing list. I know I don't have a 'problem' listed below that can easily be solved, but surely there are some opinions out there? Thanks, Garry -Original Message- Sent: Tuesday, April 01, 2008 10:09 AM To: Nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Nagios-users] Monitoring Windows Servers - Comparing Options For the past few years Nagios has been the most important tool for monitoring my network and Linux servers. I now have 'buy in' from the department handling the Windows Servers to at least show them how Nagios can help them to stay on top of issues, without all of the false positive alerts that they get from current tools, which can cause people to want to ignore most issues. So, my question is, what is the best option for monitoring Windows Servers and why? An important factor to consider is that I will probably not have Administrative access to any of the Windows Servers that I will be monitoring. I'm currently considering three options for the reasons shown below (in order of preference): 1) WMI checks Pros -Complete control of NRPE service on 'my' Windows Server (Can this be distributed over two boxes?) -Complete control of check commands on Nagios Server Cons -NRPE service must be run from an account with access to all Windows Servers. 2) Agent checks - NRPE-NT or some other current Windows Agent Pros -??? Cons -Requires an agent setup and running on every Windows Server -No direct control of agents/check commands 3) SNMP based checks Pros -Complete control over check commands on Nagios Server Cons -No direct control of SNMP Community Strings/ACL allowing access from Nagios -No direct control of SNMP service How do you do it? Are there any other Pros & Cons that I might be missing? Do you think I should consider a process/utility not listed? I'm open to suggestions on which agent is best, but I can probably determine this from list archives and testing. At this time I'm more interested in which high-level option would be the best fit. Perhaps there is a good reason to use more than one of the above options, and I'm just not aware of it yet. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Garry W.

Re: [Nagios-users] RE : NDOUtils Problem
This is all starting to get a bit too complex for me! Anyway, I’ve managed to narrow down the problem a bit. I did a fresh install of Ubuntu 7.10 Server with Nagios and NDOUtils (latest versions) and get the same problem exactly. I then did a fresh install of Ubuntu 6.06 Server with Nagios and NDOUtils and it works perfectly. So there’s obviously something in Ubuntu 7.10 causing the problem. I guess the next step would be to go through all the components and check for version differences, but I’m not really sure I can be bothered - I think I’ll just stick with Ubuntu 6.06 for now. Thanks for all the help anyway!

In the file src/io.c, line 225, is the function ndo_sink_write, wich is returning the value NDO_ERROR and causing the function ndomod_write_to_sink in file src/ndomod.c to log the error "Error writing to data sink!" (that same function is also the one that succesfully reconnects to data sink). Maybe you can get more info about the problem, examining the errno variable after the "write" call in ndo_sink_write. You can modify the line 733 in ndomod.c for something like this: asprintf(&temp_buffer,"ndomod: Error writing to data sink (%d - %s)! Some output may get lost. %lu queued items to flush.",errno,strerror(errno), sinkbuf.items); The function strerror gives you a very short description of the error, and is defined in string.h The error codes should be defined in /usr/include/asm-generic/errno.h If the permissions are ok (which seems to be the case due to the unix socket being opened for writing succesfully), maybe there is a problem with ndo2db disconnecting for some reason in the other extreme of the socket. You can also use netstat -a to see if the ndo2db daemon is listening on the specified socket, before and after getting up nagios. Also, I think that the ndo2db daemon should at least log a query like "SELECT instance_id FROM ...", which is one of the first things that ndo2db does after connecting to the database (in ndo2db_db_hello() in src/db.c), so maybe it's the ndo2db daemon failing to connect to database (or to listen on the unix socket). The function that connects to the database is ndo2db_db_connect, which sends (un)success messages to syslog.

[Nagios-users] Configuring tricky escalations
Hi, I'm using Nagios in a production environment, and I'm trying to configure some complex setup, which I'll try to explain here : - Munin is sending to Nagios NSCA exports to tell when a server run out of disk space. We have in services.cfg this configuration : define service{ use crit-service # this is a service which will send us SMS notifications host_name serverOne, serverTwo hostgroup_namegroupofServers1, groupofServers2 service_description df max_check_attempts 1 check_commandcheck_none active_checks_enabled 0 } This is a typical passive checks driven service. we also want to send notification first to somebody, and 10 minutes later to the whole admin team : here is the escalation.cfg for the "df" service and (for one of the servers, this is repeated for each server or group of server): define serviceescalation{ service_description df host_name someserver first_notification 1 last_notification 0 notification_interval 10 contact_groups some_guy } define serviceescalation{ service_description df host_name someserver first_notification 2 last_notification 0 notification_interval 10 contact_groups whole_admin_team } This is working just fine. Now the tricky part : we would like to send notification for DF WARNINGS only during workhours, and the rest (u,c,r) in the 24x7 period. I tried to create more escalations, specific with "timeperiod" and "escalation_options" but I can't make it. Will you find the solution ? thanks in advance for your help.
