[Nagios-users] Performance problems
Hi, I'm running nagios 3.0.2 on a dell poweredge 2850 server with 2gb ram and a xeon 2.80GHz cpu. Also running on this server, ndo utils 1.47b, pnp, nagvis and nagiosla.(os is newest rhel5) Nagios checks 113 hosts and 660 services, most of them every 3 minutes. Server load is over 1.3 most of the time due to the mysql database, I think. Another problem is, I get frequently high ping times in the local network the nagios server belongs to. What servers do you use for this count of checks. Should I split it into two nagios servers? It would be nice to get some suggestions. Thanks! Nicole - Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.

I'm running nearly the same set, just missing nagiosla, on RHEL5.2. Machine is a HP DL360 Quad-Core E5405 @ 2.00GHz with 5GB Ram. Local 10k SAS hdd only, no SAN, local mysql. 400 hosts, 1500 servicechecks. 1400 servicechecks are scheduled every minute, 100 once per day. I do get roundabout 1100-1200 checks throughput each minute, averaging 80% of the expected checks each minute with a very good latency. Check Execution Time: 0.01 sec10.02 sec 0.417 sec Check Latency: 0.00 sec7.19 sec1.623 sec I've done extensive performance tests and in summary the best practices to speed up things: - RAM, RAM, RAM. Both for mysql (see below) and for increased filesystem buffers. - Reserve enough memory for mysql to keep things buffered as long as possible: I'm currently using these settings: innodb_buffer_pool_size = 1024M innodb_additional_mem_pool_size = 64M innodb_log_file_size = 512M innodb_log_buffer_size = 64M innodb_flush_log_at_trx_commit = 1 Beware: this will spike up mysql memory usage to nearly 2GB virtual and roundabout 1GB of resident memory. - use npcd for bulk processing performance data for pnp. Direct injections for each performance result will stall your checks and result in huge check latency - set "data_processing_options=4061953" in your ndomod.cfg By default ndo parses and injects every event from nagios, which results in unnecessary mysql queries and bloats the database over time - even more slowing down ndo since it automatically purges old data. With this option you won't have any aging data and the database only holds realtime info Attention: This setting is totally perfect with Nagvis, but I have no clue if nagiosla needs ndo and what information - so double check that. - I'm using "use_large_installation_tweaks=1" too, but I'm not sure if it would have any impact on your scenario. - I've manually built an SQL index over some tables for ndo, but I doubt it would have much impact on your scenario either. hth Regards Sascha -- Sascha Runschke Netzwerk- und Systemmanagement Telefon : +49 (201) 102-1879 Mobil : +49 (173) 5419665 Fax : +49 (201) 102-1102105 GFKL Financial Services AG Vorstand: Dr. Peter Jänsch (Vors.), Jürgen Baltes, Dr. Till Ergenzinger, Dr. Tom Haverkamp Vorsitzender des Aufsichtsrats: Dr. Georg F.

[Nagios-users] Error: Could not read object configuration data!
Hi list, after upgrading from 1.4 to 2.6 on a debian system the webinterface is not working anymore, if I click on a menu link I get: Error: Could not read object configuration data! the nagios documentation says: 1. Verify configuration options using the -v command-line option to check for errors. 2. Check the Nagios log file for messages relating to startup or status data errors. 3. Make sure you've compiled the main program and the CGIs to use the same object data storage options (i.e. default text file or template-based file). I tried 1 but no errors same for option 2 3, I didn't compile but I used aptitude, so I guess that cannot be the problem? - Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.

[Nagios-users] Alerts using IM
Hi All, May be this query has already been answered on this list. I need to add a "service check" in nagios that sends out an IM alert in case of failure and recovery. I have set up ejabberd as the IM server. Found that imcom is an IM client that can be used from the command line to send out instant messages. I am trying to figure out how imcom can be used to write notification scripts. Anybody aware of how it can be done? Or do I need to use any other way/method/IM_client? Would be great if I get any suggestions. Thanks in advance Yogesh - Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.

This sounds about right. 330 checks/240 seconds = 2.75 checks/sec. You'll have at least 1 process in the run queue at any given second so you have a load average of 1+. Why do you think this is a problem? It seems quite normal for any linux box and shouldn't be an issue. > Another problem is, I get frequently high ping times in the local > network the nagios server belongs to.

Until last year I was using Compaq DL360's (dual P3 1.4Ghz, 1G ram) to monitor 800+ services at 5 minute intervals + Cricket data collection for 10's of thousands of interfaces during that same interval. They were performing just fine. I replaced them with modern Sun boxes because they were way too old and I was worried about potential hardware failures. -- Marc - Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.

Can anyone help me on this pls ? Also i would like to intregate nmap with nagios , to monitor open ports as well for servers , has anyone any idea about the feasibility /else is there any plugins available to check this !! regards Michael Michael, I can't say specifically what your NSclient++ issue is, but I can offer the following. I've seen this problem occur when I check something that doesn't exist. For example, I've had machines where I've used check_nt on the server side to check the D: drive on a Windows box, but that D: does not exist (I did this as part of a hostgroup check and one of those hosts did not have a D: drive). My best suggestion is to break down the command you're running from the nagios side (check_nt or preferrably, check_nrpe) to this host and run it to make sure it returns properly. I find many of those Windows-checking commands are complex enough that I can't be sure I have them right until I've worked them out from the command-line first. I don't know about nmap checking, but if you haven't already had a look at Nagios Exchange (www.nagiosexchange.org). Also, when I did a Google search for "nagios nmap plugin" I got several reasonable-looking hits. Mark - Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.

You're talking, there, about watching throughput on switchports and the like? That's my next gig; do you have a good pointer on setting Cricket up to do that sort of thing?

Re: [Nagios-users] Error: Could not read object configuration data!
I'm by no means an expert -- just taking shots in the dark here, but... Can you run checks from the command line? If so, it suggests a problem specific to the CGI. If not, it would seem the problem is with Nagios per se.

[Nagios-users] nsca and comments questions..
So I have 2 servers server1 server2 - - server1 lives inside my network and server2 lives in a DMZ. All of my customers login to server2 in order to see the status of the networks I monitor. The two servers replicate the information with nsca. It seems that when a systems goes down it replicates perfectly but when I comment on it the comments or anything do not go. Also does server2 have to ping all the systems as well? They it currently is pinging everything along with server1. What did I do wrong?

[Nagios-users] check_http issues...
I feel like this plugin hates me!...
I get a critical status with a (Null) Status Information and I can't seem to
figure out what I am doing wrong.
My command looks like this:
define command{
command_namecheck_http_arg
command_line$USER1$/check_http -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -a $ARG1$
}
And my service definition looks like this:
define service{
use master-service
host mdfbbsw01
service_description Web Interface
check_command check_http_arg!admin:'12345'
}
However from the command line (with root and nagios users) I execute this:
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_http -I 10.10.4.10 -a admin:'12345'
HTTP OK HTTP/1.1 200 OK - 16447 bytes in 0.150 seconds
|time=0.150422s;;;0.00 size=16447B;;;0
Can anyone see anything that I don't?

You have to have a good understanding of SNMP and rrdtool. http://cricket.sf.net is the only source of information that I am aware of. Note that general development ceased several years ago but there's not much that it lacks if you think of it as a framework. The user list is pretty inactive as well. If you do use it, the genRtrConfig and genDevConfig addons are extremely useful for adding in new devices. If I were doing it again, I'd give Cacti a serious look. When we adopted cricket, cacti didn't scale very well and it didn't appear to have obvious ways to script the creation of new devices which we could do simply with cricket. I don't know if those have changed but Cacti appears to be very polished. -- Marc - Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.

I'm confused: is that a command definition or a custom plugin? If I use your options but replace "check_ciso_int" with "check_snmp_int.pl" I still get results over 100%.

Event handlers, which I assume you are using to call send_nsca, only fire on check results. There's no built-in way to replicate comments, acknowledgements, or any other CGI initiated action (except forced checks). > Also does server2 have to ping all the systems as well?

Re: [Nagios-users] check_http issues...
You're using -I and the command line and -H in your conf. This makes
a difference. I haven't figured out all the details yet, but I
believe it affects what gets sent in the header...

You're using -I and the command line and -H in your conf. This makes
a difference. I haven't figured out all the details yet, but I
believe it affects what gets sent in the header...

And the host address for mdfbbsw01 is defined as 10.10.4.10?
If so, I would take a look at check_debug to figure out what's going on.

Re: [Nagios-users] check_http issues...
Okit gets weirder..
When I run the command again with that debug script, the log file doesn't
get written. All users have access to write to the tmp directory by default
so I don't know why it is not writing the log.
I tried also running the debug script via the command line in case it was a
permission issue. This time it did write the log file but it isn't much use
since the check_http works from the command line anyways.
I also tried this and got the same results:
http://www.waggy.at/nagios/capture_plugin.htm
My commands were:
define command{
command_namecheck_http_arg
command_line/$USER1$/check_debug.sh /$USER1$/check_http -H
$HOSTADDRESS$ -a $ARG1$
}
define command{
command_namecheck_http_arg
command_line/$USER1$/capture_plugin.pl /$USER1$/check_http -H
$HOSTADDRESS$ -a $ARG1$

Please always reply on list so that others now, or in the future, can benefit from your experience.

Nothing currently exists that I am aware of but there are certainly ways to do it. - create a client/daemon similar to NSCA that can send arbitrary external commands to the nagios external command pipe on remote machines - write an event-broker module that intercepts those events and sends appropriate commands to the above client or - tail -f nagios.log looking for those events and send appropriate commands to the above client. The client/daemon might be as simple as an authorized_keys ssh (untested) -- ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] 'echo "[timestamp] EXTERNALCOMMAND;options" > / usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd' I'd probably opt for calling a script, that the key was limited to running, that accepted the external command and options as variables then wrote to the pipe. -- Marc - Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.

What's special about the password that you're enclosing it in quotes?
Do you see different behavior if you make it wrong, but not 'special'?
How about if you hard set it in the command{} definition instead of
passing it as a $ARGx$?

[Nagios-users] event handler not working
Hi,
I'm trying to get an event handler to work with no success so I'm hoping
somebody might have some suggestions. It appears as though Nagios is not
calling the event handler at all when a service check is performed. I don't
think it's a permissions thing because the event handler works properly when
run by the nagios user at the command line:
i.e. [EMAIL PROTECTED] bin]# su - nagios -c
"/usr/local/nagios/libexec/eventhandlers/renotify-on-ok"
I have removed all the arguments that are passed to the event handler to
simplify troubleshooting and at this point the event handler should simply
send an email message when the service check is performed. Code shown below.
Thanks in advance.
renotify-on-ok (only 3 lines):
==
#!/usr/bin/perl
$contactEmail = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]";
`/bin/echo -e ' event handler works! ' | /bin/mail -s '** event handler
works **' $contactEmail`;
checkcommands.cfg:
=
define command{
command_namerenotify-on-ok
command_line$USER1$/eventhandlers/renotify-on-ok
}
In templates.cfg the service is defined as follows:
===
define service{
use generic-service ; Name of
service template to use
name snmp-trap-alerting-service
service_description SNMP Trap Alert
is_volatile 1
check_period24x7
active_checks_enabled 0
normal_check_interval 14400
retry_check_interval 14400
max_check_attempts 1
notification_interval 0
notification_period 24x7

Re: [Nagios-users] check_http issues...
Ok here is what I tried..
1. I passed the user:pass in the command file opposed to passing as an
$ARGx$ and it returned a Warning state with a 401 Unauthorized. However it
did create the log file this time.
2. I passed the user:pass without the quotes (still in the command file) and
still got the same results in the Nagios interface and also got a log.
What is weird about the log is that the password being sent is not the same
as the one defined in the command file and I guess it has to do with the
'special' characters in the password.
The password is: 123$45!
The reason why I was passing it in single quotes was because the check_http
plugin seemed to be able to pass it on to the site to authenticate with it
just fine. If I removed the quotes, I got an access denied message. However
this only works via the command line.
Here is what I got in the logfiles:
2008-5-5 14:56:58 -- debugging
cmd=[/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_http '-H' '10.10.4.10' '-a'
'admin:123$45!$']
output=[HTTP WARNING: HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized
]
retcode=1
---
2008-5-5 14:58:13 -- debugging
cmd=[/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_http '-H' '10.10.4.10' '-a'
'admin:1235!$']
output=[HTTP WARNING: HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized
]
retcode=1
---
Notice how on the first error it has the $ misplaced at the end as well as
after the 3. In the 2nd one it doesn't have $ after 3, it has it at the end
instead. The password is this way due to strict password rules here and I
don't think I could use a simpler one. However, if it works via the command
line I don't see why it shouldn't work through the nagios interface. :(

I don't know what version of nagios you are using but this appears
relevant and was submitted to nagios-devel late last week --
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=480001
Note also that '!' has special meaning to nagios in service{} and
host{} command_lines regardless of whether it's enclosed in quotes or
not. Nagios-3 addresses that --
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/whatsnew.html
"Escaped command arguments - You can now pass bang (!) characters in
your command arguments by escaping them with a backslash (\). If you
need to include backslashes in your command arguments, they should
also be escaped with a backslash."

Re: [Nagios-users] check_http issues...
I'm using Nagios 3.0.1 with Plugins 1.4.11
Ah..
Well on another note if I were to use this password, where would I need to
put the escape character?
The password is: 123$45!
I'll try that if not, I'll try to create a separate non admin user with
enough rights to log in

You might need to escape both the $ and the !; both have special meaning to a shell, in addition to any meaning they may have to Nagios. Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.

If the debian supplied patch works as expected to handle the inclusion
of the extra '$' then it should be as simple as changing your
service{} check_command to be --
check_command check_http_arg!admin:'123$45\!'
I expect the $ to be ok as-is since the shell will see that enclosed
in single-quotes an won't treat it as a shell variable.

[Nagios-users] Mixed Nagios versions in a Distributed setup?
Hello, I'm in the process of implementing a Distributed nagios system. Are there any known issues with using different nagios versions in the Distributed model? In my instance it would be Nagios 3.0.2 on the Central server and Nagios 2.x on the Distributed servers. Thanks, -Ray - Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.

[Nagios-users] NDO and round robin
Hi, Is anyone using a round robin database with the NDO2DB plugin? I've seen tools that create an RRD from the Nagios log files, but what I'd like to do is have the NDO database kept under control, not the log files. In other words, if left unchecked, the NDO database can grow to be pretty huge. After looking at what's out there, I thought about just setting up some cron jobs to manage the data... but I thought I'd check in with the list first to see if I'd missed anything.

[Nagios-users] FW: Configuring Active Directory authentication - Nagios 3.0.2
Hi, I have spent the last week or two building a demo system and one of my requirements is that we can configure user access based on LDAP queries to our AD server. I am currently running the test box on Ubuntu Server 7 and I am having problems in getting the LDAP queries setup as my Linux knowledge is nowhere near as strong as my Windows. Has anyone configured this and maybe have the relevant snippets of code I need for my nagios config and also for apache as I don't think what I have in place is currently working for me!

Re: [Nagios-users] error when including resource.cfg
I have in my nagios.cfg cfg_dir=/usr/local/etc/nagios/objects/common cfg_dir=/usr/local/etc/nagios/objects/mfg but I do not include any parent dir's only these. I then tried copying the resource.cfg file into the commond dir and I get the same problem. Are there caviates to using the cfg_dir directive? I used to have relatively large config files (80-100k) and I've found it very usefull to break these up into many smaller files and I could include these one by one but it's very handy to use the cfg_dir. I do need my $USERx$ macros's so how can I work-around this problem? -Original Message- From: Morris, Patrick [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, June 05, 2008 12:17 AM To: Andrew Edwards; Thomas Guyot-Sionnest Cc: Nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: RE: [Nagios-users] error when including resource.cfg > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:nagios-users- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Andrew Edwards > Sent: Wednesday, June 04, 2008 7:32 PM > To: Thomas Guyot-Sionnest > Cc: Nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net > Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] error when including resource.cfg > > I get the same result if I use the resource.cfg-sample provide with the > install. > > $ nagios -v /usr/local/etc/nagios/nagios.cfg > > Nagios 3.0.2 > Copyright (c) 1999-2008 Ethan Galstad (http://www.nagios.org) > Last Modified: 05-19-2008 > License: GPL > > Reading configuration data... > > Error: Unexpected token or statement in file > '/usr/local/etc/nagios/resource.cfg' on line 26. Have you, by any chance, told Nagios to load all files in /usr/local/etc/nagios using the cfg_dir directive, or told it to load it using the cfg_file directive rather than the resource_file one? That would cause the error you're seeing. - Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
