Use a custom notification script.

We needed something similar so I hacked up a perl script that does different
things based on the state and notification number:

- WARNINGS = SMS once, email exponentially
- CRITICALS = SMS exponentially, email constantly
- HOST DOWN = SMS and email constantly

[Nagios-users] Sidebar disappearing in Firefox

[Niall O Broin]

I'm running 3.0 on Debian Etch via backports. I occasionally see a  
presentation problem with Firefox (was 2, now 3) on OS-X such that the  
front page loads correctly but when I select any monitoring page from  
the sidebar, that page also loads correctly but without the navigation  
sidebar.

The only way I have found to restore normal behaviour is to restart  
Firefox, which is of course a bit tedious. Do any of you have any  
suggestions?





Kindest regards,



Niall  O Broin

[Nagios-users] add hosts to running nagios through API?

[Christian Schneemann]

Hi,
is it possible to add hosts to a running nagios server through an AP (commands 
in command file)?

I want to monitor some kind of special service, hosts starting doing some work 
in their sparetime and if they do this, they should be monitored if anything 
goes wrong.
I can't know which hosts here at work will have the software installed, but 
when they have it insalled they has to be monitored.

It doesn't matter if the hosts are gone after a restart of the nagios server.

Any ideas? 


thanks,
Christian

Not that I know of, no. If a browser setting were causing it, surely I  
should see it all the time, and I don't - it's only an occasional  
visitor, and I've only seen it in Firefox, not Safari (though I do  
look at Nagios more with FF than Safari).  I'm quite prepared to  
believe it's a browser issue, but I'm wondering if anybody else has  
seen it.

Not that I know of. I've just tried pressing PageUp and PageDown (I  
hope that's what Av Pag o Re Pag are) and they had no effect whatsoever.

Not currently... Interpret as you will --

checks.c:   /* TODO - add new service definition 
automatically */
checks.c:   /* TODO - add new host definition 
automatically */

I also believe this might be something the event broker could do in  
the future.

How would nagios know about them then? My suggestion would be to  
create your own plugin that knows this information and checks them all  
at once. Assign it to a host that always runs the software or a dummy  
host created for this purpose. Alternately, have the service check  
assigned to all possible hosts but exit as OK if the software isn't  
supposed to be running on it at that time.

Ok, there is *some* documentation there.

I was looking for some documentation regarding how the
/path/to/nagios/etc/pnp/check_commands/check-host-alive.cfg behaves or
changes the bahavior of pnp.
Isn't quite clear to me what the files in that especific folder does, or
where is the file that tells pnp that the rrd template should change _HOST_
to the actuall hostname.

Well, I'm signin up for the pnp mailling list, will try to get better
results there.

TFYR,
Marcel

[Nagios-users] Multiple inheritance settings

[Matt White]

Hi guys,

 

I am building a nagios setup that is going to be monitoring a number of
different clients who have varying levels of support (all have 9am-6pm
and then others have 8am as well, then there are 4 time periods that
include the evenings and weekends which can be purchased separately.

 

I am centralising my Nagios setup as much as possible and currently each
type of service (exchange 2003, IIS, Active Directory, SQL etc) are all
assigned to a hostgroup and then the hosts are made a member of the
hostgroup and any extra checks are added into the client config files as
necessary. 

 

What I am trying to work out is the best way to assign the relevant time
periods to each host. Am I right in understanding that if I create a
template host and service for each timeperiod that I can't assign these
two templates to the same host/service as one will overwrite the other?

 

Is the best way to approach this to define a template for hosts/servers
for each client and setup the notifications in here? Is it also possible
to have the notification do more than just email/sms - I would
potentially like the notification to log a call in our CMS the first
time it notices the host is down and then after this just send
notifications.

 

All thoughts/comments appreciated.

 

Regards,

 

Matt White

[Nagios-users] Running Command on Remote hosts

[Jai Rangi]

Hello,

We have Nagios setup with Groundworks, doing all sort of checks on our
servers at datacenter. We get the emails for warning and critical
alerts. Everything seems to running pretty good. 

What I want to achieve is build a script/system that can fix problems by
itself. 

For example for our Windows IIS servers the scripts should restart the
application pool if it finds any problem with http port. Cause that's
what we do manually to get it fixed. It seems to be working when I run
from the command line, like this, 

 

./check_nrpe -H server -n -p PORTNUMBE -t 30 -c restartapppool. 

 

restartapppool is the command defined in the NRPE Client. Now I need to
understand is what I need to do to run this command as soon as the
nagios find a problem with the http service. 

 

Has anyone done something like this? I will appreciate if you can share
some thoughts. 

 

Thank you,

 


Jai Rangi
