Thanks Hugo. I could have been more clear... What I am talking about is
sticky, non-persistent acknowledgements, so can you tell me... does a
non-persistent, sticky ack (the default) remain on your system when you
restart nagios with a HUP signal?

best,

[Nagios-users] check_logs.pl gets 'uninitilized value'

[Bret Goodfellow]

Hi all,

I have been running a perl plugin, check_logs.pl, on a RHEL server for several 
months (no changes to my knowledge).  But, this week the plugin is having 
trouble.  When it runs, an 'uninitialized value' warning is produced.  Below is 
the shell output:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] plugins]# ./check_logs.pl -c /etc/nagios/check_logs_linux.cfg
Use of uninitialized value in numeric ne (!=) at ./check_logs.pl line 81.
messages => (1): Nov 12 10:39:23 twin root: HELLO THERE!;
[EMAIL PROTECTED] plugins]#

This same code is running just fine on 29 other RHEL servers.  How do I 
eliminate the 'uninitialized value' message?  Below is the code starting from 
line 73:

73# Open log file
74open LOG_FILE, $cnf->{'file_name'} || die "Unable to open log file 
$cnf->{'file_name'}: $!";
75# Try to open log seek file.  If open fails, we seek from beginning of
76# file by default.
77if (open(SEEK_FILE, $seek_file)) {
78chomp(@seek_pos = );
79close(SEEK_FILE);
80#  If file is empty, no need to seek...
81if ($seek_pos[0] != 0) {
82# Compare seek position to actual file size.  If file size is 
smaller
82# then we just start from beginning i.e. file was rotated, etc.
84
($dev,$ino,$mode,$nlink,$uid,$gid,$rdev,$size,$atime,$mtime,$ctime,$blksize,$blocks)
 = stat(LOG_FILE);
85if ($seek_pos[0] <= $size) {
86seek(LOG_FILE, $seek_pos[0], 0);
87}
88}
89}

Any ideas?

Regards,

Bret Goodfellow

[Nagios-users] sticky acknowledgements do not persist across nagios restarts in Nagios 3

[Chris Paul]

Hello Nagios-Users,

I have nagios 3.0.4 in Solaris 10. When acknowledge a host that is down
(with a sticky acknowledgement, and then restart the nagios daemon with a
kill -HUP, it deletes the acknowledgement.

This is not the correct behavior according to page 7 of the nagios-3.pdf
document,

   "Acknowledgement comments that are marked as non-persistent are now
only deleted when the acknowledgement is removed. They were previously
automatically deleted when Nagios restarted, which was not ideal."

Can anyone else verify this behavior?

many thanks,

CP

Don't remember. I'd have to look at the source but you can do that too.

I'm not sure why this should matter though.  It's job is to mount when
needed, and unmount when not needed.

I have not changed many defaults, certainly not that one.

Here's a question : by what means does check_disk do it's checking?
I guess it's using system calls?  Which ones?  I can look into those
calls to see if there is a cleaner way around this than writing a
wrapper script.

I guess that my expectation is that automounter would wait about 10

Why wouldn't it?  That's it's job - to unmount stuff that is not needed anymore.

A more likely, and elegant reason is that you have multiple nagios  
daemons running at the same time, one with the current config and one  
with a prior config that was set to check '/'. That's much easier to  
verify and fix first than trying to figure out some obscure problem  
with the automounter. Unless the automounter is unmounting it in the  
time between checks, I doubt that's going to be it. I would also never  
expect the mountpoint being checked to change in that event.  
check_disk just doesn't do that from my experience.

I am not familiar with that. But with Centos it is like:
 - Install Centos
 - Add rpmforge as repository
 - Install nagios through yum
 - Configure Nagios

The last line is the hardest part as it requires one to read the Nagios
manual to understand the Nagios config files.

But I actually have one Centos 4 and one Centos 5 server operational.
And some custome checking to do a SMTP loopback check to see if a chain
of anti-spam and anti-malware servers is working as it should be.

Right now the screen just refreshed and it's reporting correctly in
the web GUI :

DISK OK - free space: /opt/corp/projects/BCM_CC 64697 MB (73% inode=99%):

Just before the refresh, it had / listed instead of
/opt/corp/projects/BCM_CC, and the stats for / as well.

In the meantime I have not changed the configuration.

I'm thinking that like Hugo said, it could be the response time of the

Hi Hugo --

If I was to go the CentOS route, would the Quick Install procedure

I run several instances of Nagios on CentOS 5.1 & 5.2...  Never tried
64bit however.

Life expectation? Fedora 9 will not be supported in 1 year from now. Do
you want to do a major upgrade each year?

That is why I never will run Fedora on a server. Only Centos on servers
for me.

The Nagios version in FC9 is pretty old.  I started out there and then
blew it away and installed it manually.  Latest version.

The install was very easy.

When you tested by hand. How fast was the response? Could it be that the
plugin through nagios is perhaps faster or slower so the response time
of the automounter could be an issue?

Please expand on this. What specifically is flipping back and forth?  
What is the service output when this is happening? flip-flop behavior  
is an indicator of accidentally having multiple nagios daemons running  
at the same time.

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios 3.0.5 on Fedora Core 9

[Kaplan, Andrew H.]

Hi Hugo --

If I was to go the CentOS route, would the Quick Install procedure available for
Fedora also work for version 5.2 64-bit of CentOS?

Life expectation? Fedora 9 will not be supported in 1 year from now. Do
you want to do a major upgrade each year?

That is why I never will run Fedora on a server. Only Centos on servers
for me.

You might be able to whip up something that works. But Nagios is about
monitoring. I think you need to look for another solution to do to
proper management of clients.

I can use a screwdriver to hit a nail. But a hammer is a better tool for it.

Hold on. Given that a normal user is unable to login locally and change
config files. The actions available to the users are limited. And to the
best of my knowledge things like acknowledgements, scheduling downtime
and sure are pretty well recorded in the logs.

Or am I missing something here?

Re: [Nagios-users] check_disk and autofs

OK, I checked the perms and they seem fine.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] nagios]$ ls -ald /opt/corp/projects/BCM_CC
drwxrwxrwx 8 otheruser othergroup 1024 2008-10-31 13:52
/opt/corp/projects/BCM_CC

Note that "otheruser" is not nagios.  othergroup is one that nagios is
not a member of.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] nagios]$ ls -ald /opt/corp/projects
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 0 2008-11-12 15:22 /opt/corp/projects

Aha, but maybe this is it!  Above was with the automounter running.  I
turned it off and checked again :

[EMAIL PROTECTED] linux]# ls -ald /opt/corp/projects/
drwxr-x--- 2 root root 4096 2008-07-14 04:28 /opt/corp/projects/

So I chmodded it 0755 then turned it back on.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] nagios]$ ls -ald /opt/corp
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 2008-07-14 04:28 /opt/corp

[EMAIL PROTECTED] nagios]$ ls -ald /opt
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 2008-07-14 04:28 /opt

Here is what I am doing on the Nagios server itself.   Note that
"check_nfs_disk" is the same as "check_local_disk" in the default
config.  I just copied it in case I needed to change anything.

define service{

You could probably wedge something like that into Nagios, but there is  
software out there better suited to the task: configuration management  
and change management software (particularly the former).  See  
cfengine, bcfg2, puppet, to name only three.   I was also recently  
referred to an interesting paper which makes references to using  
configuration management software to manage other (client)  
organizations' systems, here .

This is good and tells me that either the command{} definition isn't  
the same as your test or there are permission problems. Can you post  
the relevant service{} and command{} definitions? Can you post the  
permissions on the mountpoints? The nagios user should have rx access  
to those directories and above.

Are you performing your test as the nagios/nrpe user on the remote  
machine or as root? You shouldn't test as root as there can be  
significant permission discrepancies compared to the nagios user.

Using Nagios specifically to run updates may not be the best solution.
That being said...

I've used it to compare installed versions of software with a list of
requirements. The plugin would handle the update if needed.  It was very
specific.  It would also handle monitoring config file mod dates.

Could you do that... yes...  should you?  Only you can answer that one.

[Nagios-users] check_disk and autofs

[Alan McKay]

Hey folks,

First, thanks for such a great product.  Totally loving Nagios!   At
first I found the config really intimidating but after maybe 20 or 30
minutes I had a few hosts banged in and it was all downhill from
there.  It's amazingly easy now, I find!

But I'm having the following problem.  I searched the list archives
and did not find anything which matched this.

I want to use Nagios to check some specific autofs-mounted disks, and
report on them.   But what I"m getting back flips back and forth
between the info for the disk that I want, and the info for the mount
point.   I tried this first using NRPE to check it on a remote system,
then when that failed I tried it locally on the Nagios server with the
same results.

Note I cannot and do not want to check all autofs disks because I am
only concerned with a very small percentage of them which pertain to
my group.

I'm basically calling check_disk with -w -c and -p options.  e.g.

check_disk -w 20 -c 10 -p /path/to/autofs/mountpoint/disk1
check_disk -w 20 -c 10 -p /path/to/autofs/mountpoint/disk2

I've also tried adding a trailing / to the end of the disk mount point.

I went through the "check_disk -h" output and cannot find anything
that might help.

And most frustratingly, when I call check_disk manually from the BASH
prompt, I always get the info I want - from the disk not the mount
point!

thanks,
-Alan

I've been running Nagios 3.0.5 on Fedora 9 for a while and runs well.

Make sure you got apache and your compilers, download the Nagios and

[Nagios-users] Nagios 3.0.5 on Fedora Core 9

[Kaplan, Andrew H.]

Hi there -

 

I will be implementing Nagios 3.0.5 on a new server, and the operating system in
question will be the Fedora Core 9 release.

Are there any issues that I should be aware of prior to the installation of
Nagios, via yum, onto the server? Thanks.

I thought esmtp was an MTA sendmail replacement, not a mail program
replacement?

Either way, you have /usr/bin/esmtp as both a directory and an
executable in the same command.

It should be left at 0 to get the behavior you're expecting. With  
notification_interval 0, a notification for a {WARNING | CRITICAL | OK/ 
RECOVERY} state will only be sent once per problem. That's what you  
want. When set at 1440, you'll receive repeat notifications every 24  
hours until recovery.

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/objectdefinitions.html#service

"notification_interval: This directive is used to define the number  
of "time units" to wait before re-notifying a contact that this  
service is still in a non-OK state. Unless you've changed the  
interval_length directive from the default value of 60, this number  
will mean minutes. If you set this value to 0, Nagios will not re- 
notify contacts about problems for this service - only one problem  
notification will be sent out."

This isn't the entire service definition (no contacts specified, no  
notification_options, what's in the template?, etc). That's why I  
suggested getting that (and more) from objects.cache. You might also  
want to include the log entries for the service and notifications to  
exemplify the problem.

You just made it worse by saying you _should_ get repeat notifications  
once a day at least. ;)

Not really, it's missing the key bits of information about who gets  
notified for what, when and how.

> We don't run multiple Nagios daemons on the same machine.

I'm sure you don't intentionally but it can happen accidentally and  
cause strange issues. Actively make sure that you don't have multiple  
nagios daemons running right now.

> I didn't find anything unusual in objects.cache.

This was a request so that we could see what was there and help you  
with your problem. What may not be unusual to you may be plainly  
unusual to us, otherwise you wouldn't be asking for help. To make any  
progress on this issue, you should --

- Verify you do not have multiple nagios daemons running right now.  
Stop nagios, use ps to see if any remain, kill them and restart  
nagios. Let us know if you had anything you needed to kill.

If you didn't have multiple instances or you did and the problem  
continues after doing the above,

- Gather the following information from objects.cache
- The definition for the service experiencing this problem
- The definition for the host running the service experiencing this  
problem
- The definition for the contact experiencing this problem
- The definition for that contact's notification command
- Gather the following information from nagios.log
- entries related to the service experiencing the problem when it  
initially goes down and subsequent checks during that outage
- entries related to notifications for the service during this time.

Re: [Nagios-users] Limiting mail notification for clock drift

[Kenneth Holter]

I think I found one of the causes for the excessive notifacations - the
notification_interval was set to 0. For almost all our services we have a
high number (such as 1440), but this current value of zero must have made
it's way into the code somehow. This is my current definition:

 define service {
use generic-service
service_description Current load for virtual servers
servicegroups   performance
hostgroups  virtual-servers
is_volatile 0
check_period24x7
max_check_attempts  3
normal_check_interval   5
retry_check_interval1
notification_interval   0
notification_period 24x7
check_command
check_remote_load!/home/nagios/.ssh/id_rsa!nagios!13.0,8.0,3.0!15.0,10.0,5.0
}


Setting this attribute to a higher value should make me get a lot less
notifications, but I will still get more or less duplicate notifications.
Help on avoiding this will be appreciated.

Regarding your specific questions: I think the service definition above
answers most of them. We don't run multiple Nagios daemons on the same
machine. I didn't find anything unusual in objects.cache.

/usr/bin/esmtp/printf looks totally bogus. I've got a feeling
someone's used a crappy regex to modify the config here.

Besides that, I believe esmtp is an smtp *server*, so it's not
supposed to be run from the command line. I'm not sure about
that though, so I'll just assume you've read the manuals for
esmtp and know what you're doing (well, one can always hope,
right?).

I have set up eSMTP as relay.The test from the command line is as follows: echo

That's interesting. That's about the only option that would cause the  
behavior you are reporting that I can think of. Are you using event  
handlers for notifications? Is your notification_interval the same or  
similar to your normal_check_interval? Make sure that you don't have  
multiple nagios daemons running at the same time and that the service  
definition in objects.cache is as you expect it to be.

The only case in which nagios cares about the _text_ of the plugin  
output is when state stalking is enabled. Even then, it only provides  
logging of that change, not a notification. There are only two  
conditions under which notifications will be sent out 
(http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/notifications.html)--

"When Do Notifications Occur?

The decision to send out notifications is made in the service check  
and host check logic. Host and service notifications occur in the  
following instances...

 * When a hard state change occurs. More information on state  
types and hard state changes can be found here.
 * When a host or service remains in a hard non-OK state and the  
time specified by the  option in the host or  
service definition has passed since the last notification was sent out  
(for that specified host or service)."

Yup. Standard Operating Procedure for nagios. You have to do something  
unusual to not get this behavior. Perhaps you should post some config  
information from objects.cache for inspection. service definition,  
contact definition and notification command definition.

Following your apache log will tell you who visited which page. It won't
show POST data and such though, but it'll get you started.

There's no way of getting enough info to essentially be able to replay
the users' actions, and nor will there be within the foreseeable future
(unless you patch it to do that, ofcourse).

I think you might have misunderstood.  Im not interested in what actions

This is more of a OS security and administration issue , and not a nagios issue.

try using sudo for that .

[Nagios-users] Audit users actions within nagios

[Richard Savage]

Hi

Im running nagios 3.0.4 on FreeBSD 7.0

I have it set up so that all users to the system have an individual user 
name to access nagios.  What i would like to be able to do to be able to 
log all the actions that the users perform and to be able to see which 
user performed which action?

A bit like an audit trail.

Is this possible?

Regards

Richard

[Nagios-users] Citrix checks

[Edgar Matzinger]

Fellow nagios users,
 
  I wonder how you would check several Citrix services. Like SMA, IMA,
Print Manager, WWW Publishing, licenses, etc. with nagios/nrpe? Port
checks? Are there any SNMP checks possible? I've seen some Citrix checks
on nagiosexchange.org, but they handle the checks mentioned above
Or are these services automatically by Microsoft Services? As you can
see, I'm neither a Microsoft admin nor citrix admin.
 
Thanks, regards, Edgar.

I've been using version 3.0.3 for about a month and never seen this problem.

[Nagios-users] host_alert_check issue

[stephen wing]

Hi There

I have a couple of different versions of nagios running on
different contracts and have no issues. On one contract I have installed
nagios version 3.0.3 running on suse 11. Has anyone had any issues with this
version with the host alert check. Basically all my service checks are
working fine, but if a host goes down, nagios is not picking this up. The
host_alert_check is setup the same way as on my other versions of nagios and
they work fine. Has anybody else found this problem on version 3.0.3?

 

Regards

Stephen

Re: [Nagios-users] Limiting mail notification for clock drift

[Kenneth Holter]

Thanks for your reply.

The "is_volatile" options is actually already set to "0". :/

I think it would be correct to sum up what I'm in need of like this:
Whenever there is a transition from one hard error state to another hard
error state, or when there has been a recovery from such an error, I'd like
a notification.
