No. It only shows to me that you have not done the required thing. That
is that you need to sit down and read the manual of nagios.

So it would be very much appriciated if you take the time to sit down
with the manual and find the answers in there as most of the questions
you have send so far indicate that you have not even seen the manual.

If something is unclear in the manual then by all means ask for
clearification. But I think that asking questions that show a lack of
commitment to read the manual and understanding the way in which nagios
works is a cheap way of getting around you doing what you should do.

And it is my simple view that we should not encourage people to start
with nagios untill they have read the manual.

Re: [Nagios-users] No parallel checks with scripts under?

2008-10-15 Thread Max
This is my official 'stupid guy' post.  I finally got permission to
use yum live instead of scping rpms around, so I de-installed gcc and
it's dependencies (except for libgcc for obvious reasons :p) as well
as gd, libjpeg and glibc-headers, and then re-installed them with yum
and recompiled nagios now our dual AMD x64 host is doing over 300
checks a minute. :) with an average check latency of .046 secs and a
max of 3 secs.

Thanks again Andreas for your help.

Re: [Nagios-users] contacts.cfg error.

2008-10-15 Thread frank
No, you have defined a _contact_. One part of the contact definition is a 
pointer to the notify-by-email command which is not defined.

Here is a sample. It came from the misccommands.cfg file that was part of 
the RPM I installed from fedora.

# 'notify-by-email' command definition
define command{
 command_namenotify-by-email
 command_line/usr/bin/printf "%b" "* Nagios  
*\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\n\nService: $SERVICEDESC$\nHost:

Right, but since Nagios isn't really a network service, it can only be 
checked locally.  That's why my response mentioned NRPE. 

NRPE is installed on remote machines and allows you to run checks and 
plugins on the target machine and report the results back to your Nagios 
instance.  Your main Nagios server will actually do check_nrpe - but 
with arguments directing the remote machine to run check_nagios and then 
report back the results.

The answer is right in front of you. You need to define these commands.

In fact they should be listed in one of your sample configuration files.

Which sections of the manuals did you use to find an answer to this
question?

The problem isn't actually with your contacts.cfg, it's just that you're 
missing the commands that are referenced (I know, it can get confusing).

Is commands.cfg anywhere in your nagios.cfg? In a default install, 
that's where these would be defined.

This functionality doesn't exist within nagios; the statusmap is  
fairly limited. One of the other mapping addons (nagvis for example),  
might have options like this but I don't use them or know.

Re: [Nagios-users] Monitor nagios running on a different server

2008-10-15 Thread rmp dmd
Thanks for all the replies I appreciate it.

But most of the reply advised to use check_nagios to monitor Nagios process
on the local machine.

What I need is to monitor whether nagios for our production system
(installed on a different server) is running or has stopped.

I'm not sure if this can be checked via port and which port? ie
check_command  check_tcp![portnumber]

Thanks!

[Nagios-users] adding legends inside status map links

2008-10-15 Thread kaskada
Hello,

is there a way how to add legends into a status map? Especially legends to 
lines between hosts. Or at least to the hosts - there are their names so far, 
so it should be possible to add there some more text which would come as a 
result of a plugin. Am I wright? I`m using Nagios for (not only) checking 
wireless bridges and it would be great if I could just look at the status map 
and see for example frequency and speed of that wireless links right next to 
the link in the map. Also this would be very nice for planning frequecies as 
they would be visible at first look.

I think/hope I would be able to write a script/plugin for mining those data and 
injecting them somewhere. What I`m asking you for is a place in Nagios files, 
where these mined data from plugin could be placed.

Thank you a lot.
Pepe

I would define a URL check template like so:

define service{
nameurl-service
active_checks_enabled   1
passive_checks_enabled  1
parallelize_check   1
obsess_over_service 1
check_freshness 0
notifications_enabled   1
event_handler_enabled   1
flap_detection_enabled  1
failure_prediction_enabled  1
process_perf_data   1
retain_status_information   1
retain_nonstatus_information1
register0
notification_optionsw,u,c,f,r
servicegroups   url,notifications
is_volatile 0
check_period24x7
max_check_attempts  4
normal_check_interval   2
retry_check_interval1
contact_groups  admins
notification_interval   10
notification_period 24x7
}

And then follow that with a bunch of short checks.

define service{
use url-service
host_name   foo.looksmart.com
service_description http check
check_command   check_url!/foo/bar/wee
}

define service{
use url-service
host_name   bar.looksmart.com
service_description http check
check_command   check_url!/bar/foo/wee
}

define service{
use url-service
host_name   wee.looksmart.com
service_description http check
check_command   check_url!/wee/query?foo=bar
}

The arguments go in your service definition on the check_command line,  
separated from each other and the command name by "!". So in your  
case, you would have a check_command line something like:

check_command   check_mysql!!!

where   and  are respectively whatever you need for  
the -P, -u and -p switches to check_mysql.

Re: [Nagios-users] How would you monitor a large list of URLs?

2008-10-15 Thread Gerhard Lausser
Hi,

check_multi @ http://my-plugin.de/wiki/projects/check_multi/start might be
an option.
It has a configuration file where you can put all the single check_http
commands, one line for each of your urls.

Eliminate sudo as a culprit. Can you run it directly as root --

/etc/init.d/nagios2 start
or
/path/to/nagios/bin/nagios
or
/path/to/nagios/bin/nagios -v /path/to/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg
or
/path/to/nagios/bin/nagios -d /path/to/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg

Did you happen to mount the partition that the nagios binary lives in  
with noexec?

What OS is this on?

Based on your command{} definition, they should be in your service  
definition.

Change your check_command directive to check_mysql!ARG1!ARG2!ARG3, where ARG1 
is the $ARG1$ value of your check command from commands.cfg and so...

Yeah but if I specify the same check_period name for the service, I have 
to define a service for every host (ex : a check_service_host1, 
check_service_host2, and so on..) because the services running on each 
hosts are running at different hours.

I'll take a look at notification_period inheritance, it may be a good 
work around too.

Thanks for the info.

dual core laptop running CentOS with 1.5 GB RAM and am getting huge
performance, 1531 checks in less than 5 minutes, seeing 8-10 nagios
processes running at once as checks are parallelized, so I now know
that something is messed up with the OS config i did on our prod host,
just not sure what config setting is wrong .. comparing the CentOS
config output with the prod output to see if I can find the problem i
introduced, will post again when i find a solution.

Again, if anyone sees a problem that stands out with my configs, feel
free to tell me where i am being a dummy, otherwise i will do that
myself :p when i find out what I did wrong with my manual rpm updates.

Thanks again, Andreas, for your help with this.

Correct. The possibility does exist that you've chosen a config  
management scheme that doesn't meet your needs. Template shortcuts are  
nice but you can lose a lot of flexibility.

I agree, if you don't mind that the checks still happen.

You need to define this command in your command.cfg file. A check_ssh 
command usually looks like this :

# 'check_ssh' command definition
define command{
command_namecheck_ssh
command_line$USER1$/check_ssh -H $HOSTADDRESS$
}

Please always respond on list so that others, now and in the future,  
benefit from your experience.

This can be answered by searching for 'not defined anywhere' in the  
archives but you have a service{} definition that references a command  
named 'check_ssh' but you don't have a command{} definition for it.  
Nagios has no idea what it is.

Host and services have historically been separate entities for the  
most part with no inheritance between them at all. With nagios-3,  
there is some inheritance happening now between a service and it's  
host but only for three variables (contact_groups,  
notification_interval and notification_period: 
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/objectinheritance.html#implied_inheritance)
 
. check_period isn't an inheritable property and the most direct way  
to a solution is to simply specify the same check_period name for the  
services that you are using for the host.

After having it run overnight, average latency is .1xx seconds.  For
my base service template (all checks inherit from this and they do not
override these attributes) I have

obsess_over_service 0
normal_check_interval 5
retry_check_interval 5
max_check_attempts 3

That is turned off, will be running in distributed mode down the road
but not now :).

> Are you using NEB-modules?

Yes, I am using modpnpsender and a service performance data handler,
but even with those commented out in the config I see the same
results.  This is a RHEL52 box running nagios 3.0.3, because of where
it sits on the network I have had to manually add RPMs to the box to
configure it .. I initially had glib2-devel and my perception was that
performance was slow with that library being used so i took the devel
package off of the host as most Linux hosts I have been on I have not
had Nagios complied with glib2.

As I look now at performance data again on Nagios with
process_perfdata set to 0 and the PNP NEB module commented out
(restarted Nagios about 10 minutes before starting this email) I am
still only seeing 86% within 5 minutes, avg latency .22, for service
checks and via top I am only see max 2 Nagios instances.  With "top
-i" I just see Nagios appear on and off occasionally.

Maybe to test to see if there is something wrong with my compile I
should turn down the check interval to 1 minute for checks to see if
Nagios does what I would expect, constantly running checks to try and
keep up?  if it doesn't behave that way, would that be a relatively
clear indication I have a compile issue?

My configure options just in case something pops out that looks
glaringly wrong, i don't expect anyone to go through them line by line

[Nagios-users] Host-based service check period

2008-10-15 Thread Francis Dube
Hi everyone,

I'm using Nagios to monitor many hosts with services running at 
different time. Each host is connected to a Plasma TV and display 
publicity on it, but the all are installed in different public area with 
different working hours.

Ex :
Host #1 is in a restaurant, so the services are running from 6:00 to 21:00.
Host #2 is in a bar, so the services are running from 12:00 to 3:00.
Host #3 is in a mall, so the services are running from 9:00 to 17:00 on 
week days.

To save power, we turn off the display during the non-working hours, but 
we need the Nagios check to stop at the same time. The check_period 
instruction in the host definition only affect the check-host-alive 
command and not the services check. I've read all i've found about the 
timeperiod and such, but i cant find a way to do host-based service 
check period. I would like to create a timeperiod for each host and that 
all the check for this host (service and host-alive) stop/start 
according to that timeperiod. Anybody knows a way to do this ?

Thanks for your time !

The plugin will check to make sure the Nagios status log is no older than

It also checks the process table for a process matching the command

[Nagios-users] Serialize checks for certains hosts

2008-10-15 Thread Alex Torres
Hi

There is a way to serialize services check for certains hosts ?

If a click on Schedule a check of all services on this host nagios
schedule all services checks and send to the host in parellel. The
remote host is running nrpe and for every check, nrpe fork a new
process. In the same time could be 5 o 6 nrpe processes and the memory
its full. The remote hosts is a router with very low mem.

Reading the documentation there is two options
max_concurrent_checks
service_interleave_factor

but both are global to nagios.cfg.

I tried put  max_concurrent_checks in host definition but no luck.

Do you know something about ?

Thanks

Re: [Nagios-users] Monitor nagios running on a different server

2008-10-15 Thread Assaf Flatto
what you need to do it treat the prodservmon1 just like any other server and 
monitor it with NRPE or 
any other utility you use for linux servers.

check if it's up (PING) , http ( Web Access ),  do a check_proc to verify that 
the nagios server is 
running and so forth.

Re: [Nagios-users] Event Handlers

2008-10-15 Thread Gürkan Aslan
Hi Francis,

Thanks for your answer but i solved the problem.

My Mistakes:
* I must use full path in my bash script.
* Event Handler is triggering the event only for the first state
change.

Best regards

Is your event handler script correctly assigned to your service ? 
(event_handler   your-event-handler)

Can you give me your command definition for you event handler, something 
like :

define command{
command_nameyour-event-handler
command_line
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/eventhandlers/your-event-handler  $SERVICESTATE$ 
$SERVICESTATETYPE$ $SERVICEATTEMPT$ $ANY_OTHER_VARIABLE_YOU_MAY_NEED$
}

Upgrade to Nagios 3. It sports parallell hostchecks.

That I don't know, but Nagios waits for the NEB to finish its call before
proceeding, so if ndomod runs some uninterruptable IO, you might be in for
a long wait. Nagios has to wait for the NEB to finish though, so the only
solution is to make sure the NEB returns control to Nagios asap.

That's a good idea. Please let us know what you find.

If average check latency is 0.04 seconds, you may have configured your
checks to run with a greater interval than the default 5 minutes. I've
seen this happen before.

Are you using slow-running OCSP/OCHP commands? Are you using them at all?
Are you using NEB-modules?

Thank you, Andreas, I really appreciate your answer. I will go back to
the drawing board to try to figure out what I am doing wrong then that
is causing 135 checks to not complete in less than 5 minutes .. avg
check time is 4 sec, avg check latency is .04 secs, so not sure what I
am doing wrong.  the machine is powerful enough to have dozens of
checks run at the same time, but so far I only see Nagios forking one
child at a time.  I have interleave set to 's' and intercheck delay
set to .5 and large_installation_tweaks at 1 and still only one fork
at a time, which is what lead me to falsely think that ePN checks were
treated differently.

So now that i know otherwise, back to the drawing board to figure out
what I messed up.

[Nagios-users] NdoUtils 1.4b7 beta : file_rotation_command not working with Nagios 3.x

2008-10-15 Thread Alex Torres
Hi again

Like explain in this post 

http://www.mail-archive.com/nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg15394.html

running ndomod with output_type tcpsocket or unixsocket slow down nagios
because until the data from nagios is stored in mysql, nagios no
continue working. (sync) 

We try to work with output_type=file and later load the data to mysql
with file2sock. Is this mode nagios run fine.

file_rotation_command in ndomod.cfg define the command to be executed by
nagios every file_rotation_interval secs. This not work in ndoutils
1.4b7 beta.

We found the bug a now works fine. Where I can submit the bug and
patch ?

Thanks you

[Nagios-users] Event Handlers

2008-10-15 Thread Gürkan Aslan
Hi,

I'm trying to define an event handler for nagios. Actually it will work
same as event handler example
(http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/eventhandlers.html#example) but
it doesn't work... i'm trying to create a file in /tmp folder to test,
but nothing in return. event_handler_enabled = 1 in service definition
and nagios.cfg.

with nagios user, i can create a file under /tmp folder
(touch /tmp/foo). Actually i'm trying to restart a service. I defined a
sudo command for nagios like this (in /etc/sudoers file)

nagios  LOCAL=NOPASSWD:/etc/init.d/myservice restart

sudo /etc/init.d/myservice restart command is properly running as nagios
user (I'm switching user by: su - nagios).

But i cannot run both of them via an event handler. As i feel that
nagios couldn't trigger the event file...

Any suggestion?

Best regards

No. Nagios forks after (optionally) caching the plugin in memory,
bringing the embedded perl stuff with it. The child runs the cached
plugin. The saving is entirely in avoiding to load /usr/bin/perl
each and every time a plugin is run (at the slight expense of copying
some more memory at every fork if epn is compiled in).

Multiplexing would be the way to go. It's the most complex, but the
most portable and the least resource-hungry.
