Re: [Nagios-users] Using nagios check_httpfor webbasedauthentication

2009-01-22 Thread Kevin Keane 
Actually, the response HTML usually ISN'T a login success page. Most of 
the time, with form-based login, the user name and password will be 
submitted to the same URL (in your case, signin.do). The Web server will 
then return a page (typically, completely empty) with a status code of 
302 (instead of the normal 200) and another URL in one of the headers. A 
Web browser will interpret the 302 as "redirect, please go to this new 
URL instead". So when you click on the "Logon" button, the browser will 
actually do not one but two (or sometimes even three or more) HTTP 
requests. Only the last one would contain the "welcome venu" text.

I'm not sure if check_http is smart enough to follow redirects; my guess 
is that it is not; it's designed to be very simple. You may have to 
either rely on status code 302 (which will also happen when login 
failed), or you will have to find (or write your own) a plugin that will 
follow redirects.

Hi Joerge,

As you said "welcome venu" is not in the response in spite of giving
valid credentials. That is why I am wondering !
Even I gave the -v switch and found in the HTML response that "welcome
venu" is not found. And the response HTML is the same as signin.do. It
must have thrown me the login success page isn't it ?

Hi Marc,
just use a notification to fire the eventhandler script.
Disadvantage: only triggered on HARD states.
Advantage: notification_interval to re-execute the script.

Hi Marc,



This is my command in commands.cfg :



define command{

command_namecheck_http

command_line$USER1$/check_http -I $HOSTADDRESS$


}



I executed the following command :



./check_http -I 199.107.237.196 -H  ww12.1800flowers.com -u /signin.do
-p 80 -P "email=svenugop...@gmail.com&password=podhum" -s "welcome venu"



and it threw



HTTP CRITICAL - string not found|time=0.080070s;;;0.00
size=38300B;;;0



Any idea why ?



FYI : the password has been changed and now is not "podhum".



Thanks

Looking at the source of the page, the sign-in form has the following 

pertinent fields --










The field names that would be passed as the POST are 'email' and 

'password'. Now, I don't know what command{} definitions you have for 

check_http or how they're configured so I'll show you how to create a 

new one very specific to this test --



define command {

command_name   check_flowers_login

command_line  $USER1$/check_http -I
$HOSTADDRESS$ -H 

ww12.1800flowers.com -u /signin.do -P 

"email=svenugop...@gmail.com&password=podhum"

}



Set that as the check_command for a service associated with the host 

and nagios will verify that the web server does not return an HTTP 

error after login. Note that if your server returns a standard 200 

response indicating OK even if there is a login error (most likely), 

you'll want to identify a word or string of text that should appear in 

the page after successful login, but not for a failure, and look for 

that with the -s parameter --



define command {

command_name   check_flowers_login

command_line  $USER1$/check_http -I
$HOSTADDRESS$ -H 

ww12.1800flowers.com -u /signin.do -P 

"email=svenugop...@gmail.com&password=podhum" -s "you are logged in"

}

Re: [Nagios-users] Windows disk health monitoring with smartmontoolsl/NSClient++?

2009-01-22 Thread Eric Pearce 
I've hacked something together that seems to work using WSH and WMI (no 
smartmontools).
It displays the following for the "Service State Information":

Current Status: OK   (for 0d 0h 14m 52s) 
Status Information:SMART Status is OK
Performance Data:WDC WD1500HLFS-01G6U0 139 GB

In "nsc.ini" on the client, I've made the following changes:

uncommented NRPEListener.dll
added to [External Scripts]
check_smart_disk0=cscript.exe //T:30 //NoLogo "C:\Program 
Files\NSClient++\scripts\smart.vbs" 0
check_smart_disk1=cscript.exe //T:30 //NoLogo "C:\Program 
Files\NSClient++\scripts\smart.vbs" 1

The file "smart.vbs" contains:

set args = wscript.arguments
drive = Cint(args(0))

strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _
& "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer _
& "\root\cimv2")

Set diskset = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
("Select * from Win32_DiskDrive")

For Each disk in diskset
If disk.index = drive Then
   Select Case Disk.Status
 Case "OK"
   WScript.Echo "SMART Status is OK| " & Disk.Model & " " & 
Int(Disk.Size/1073741824) & " GB"
   WScript.Quit(0)
 Case Else
   Wscript.Echo "SMART Status is " & Disk.Status
   Wscript.quit(1)
End Select
  End If
next

There are actually a bunch of different error states, but I figure I want to 
know about anything other than "OK".  I kept the level as "WARNING", as I don't 
know if it's going to be useful until I get more experience with the real-life 
disk error messages.  I'm aware that disks sometimes die with no warning from 
SMART.   I've never used visual basic before, so feel free to improve on this.  
I just cobbled together little snippets of code I found via google.

On the Nagios server side,  the service and hostgroup definitions look like the 
following:

define service{
use generic-service
hostgroup_name   check_smart_disk0
service_description SMART Disk 0
check_command   check_nrpe!check_smart_disk0
check_interval  720
}
define service{
use generic-service
hostgroup_name   check_smart_disk1
service_description SMART Disk 1
check_command   check_nrpe!check_smart_disk1
check_interval  720
}

define hostgroup{
hostgroup_name  check_smart_disk0
alias   Windows SMART Disk0 status
members host1, host2, host3
 }
define hostgroup{
hostgroup_name  check_smart_disk1
alias   Windows SMART Disk1 status
members host2
}

I do have to know ahead of time the number of disks to check on the client.  
Seems to be working so far.

  But I dont' see how to turn this output into something useful for Nagios, 
i.e. "OK", "WARNING", "CRITICAL". It appears that the possible return values 
for "Status" are one of the following: OK,Error,Degraded,Unknown,Pred Fail, 
Starting, Stopping, Service, Stressed, NonRecover, No Contact or Lost Comm. I 
would be happy with "OK" resulting in a Nagios "OK" and anything else being a 
"WARNING". Ideally, "WARNING" followed by the "Status" output from WMI. Is 
there a way to do this using the  NSClient "filter" and Max/Min syntax?   

  Bonus question: What do you do if you have multiple drives? I don't see any 
obvious way to specify a drive to check.

  Thanks

Subject: [Nagios-users] using NPRE to monitor pbs_mom. Error: "NRPE:

I'm a bit confused about how exactly to add stuff with NRPE to monitor
local services on my remote hosts. I got the basics out of the way and I
can already monitor the easy stuff like users, procs, swap etc. 

More ambitiously, I wanted to monitor the status of my "pbs_mom" (Torque
Scheduler daemon) on each node in my cluster. I found the script
check_pbsmom.sh on the NagiosExchange (snippet below) and copied it to
my /usr/local/nagios/libexec. 

Then I added this line to my nrpe.cfg

command[check_pbsmom]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_pbsmom

But then I don't seem to have much success.
remotehost>/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H localhost -c
check_pbsmom
NRPE: Unable to read output

If I just run the shell script though it seems to be working
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_pbsmom.sh 
PBS_MOM OK:  Daemon is running.  Host is listening.


What am I doing wrong here! I'm still a bit confused about the
interaction between command.cfg on the monitoring machine and the
nrpe.cfg on the remote host.

Any advice?

If I just run the shell script though it seems to be working
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_pbsmom.sh
PBS_MOM OK:  Daemon is running.  Host is listening.


What am I doing wrong here! I'm still a bit confused about the interaction
between command.cfg on the monitoring machine and the nrpe.cfg on the remote
host.

Any advice?

[Nagios-users] check_extcmd_ucd error returns error: ERROR: get_table: Counter length too long (5 bytes)

2009-01-22 Thread Dale J. Chatham 
check_extcmd_ucd 1.1, Copyright (C) 2007 Herbert Stadler

nagios is running on:

SunOS xx 5.10 Generic_13-03 sun4v sparc SUNW,T5240


The error appears to be coming from Net::SNMP.

I've seen some discussion about this, but never a fix.

Any ideas?

[Nagios-users] re-execute an event handler just in case the service stays 
DOWN






Hi,

I would like one event handler to be re-executed just in case it
failed for the first time. The docs
(http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/eventhandlers.html) say "you
don't want that", but I am fairly confident that I want it in this case.

I have a nagios host in a unattended site which generally gets its
internet access from the site network. In case of a site network
failure, the host needs to dial in to the Internet via modem to be
reachable for debugging purposes.

The nagios installation monitors a host on the Internet and has an
event handler connected with this host which will initiate the dial-up
when the "Internet host" goes into a HARD DOWN state.

I would like this event handler to be re-executed in case the dial-up
connection doesn't come up or goes down _before_ nagios has detected
that the "Internet host" is UP again.

Is there any way to accomplish this or am I better of with a cronjob
which will initiate the dial-up from outside nagios?

Any hints will be appreciated.,

Greetings
Marc

[Nagios-users] Checking websites with NTML authentication

2009-01-22 Thread Joe Hartley 
Has anyone solved the problem of using Nagios to check a website that
uses NTML authentication?  My Googling keeps bringing me to a suggestion
about writing something with curl, but I have zero curl-fu.

How can I improve the way Nagios shows items in the web? I have more 
than 20 items with the same parent, so, their icons appear very close. I 
need to show icons more separated in the web.

Looking at the source of the page, the sign-in form has the following  
pertinent fields --




The field names that would be passed as the POST are 'email' and  
'password'. Now, I don't know what command{} definitions you have for  
check_http or how they're configured so I'll show you how to create a  
new one very specific to this test --

define command {
command_namecheck_flowers_login
command_line$USER1$/check_http -I $HOSTADDRESS$ -H  
ww12.1800flowers.com -u /signin.do -P  
"email=svenugop...@gmail.com&password=podhum"
}

Set that as the check_command for a service associated with the host  
and nagios will verify that the web server does not return an HTTP  
error after login. Note that if your server returns a standard 200  
response indicating OK even if there is a login error (most likely),  
you'll want to identify a word or string of text that should appear in  
the page after successful login, but not for a failure, and look for  
that with the -s parameter --

define command {
command_namecheck_flowers_login
command_line$USER1$/check_http -I $HOSTADDRESS$ -H  
ww12.1800flowers.com -u /signin.do -P  
"email=svenugop...@gmail.com&password=podhum" -s "you are logged in"
}

Re: [Nagios-users] Recommended Plugin for Monitoring iptables

2009-01-22 Thread Kaplan, Andrew H. 
Hi Marc --

Thanks for your reply. I downloaded the script, and I am currently testing it.

I had to make one modification within the script: The -S argument is not known
by the version, 1.3.8, of iptables on the server in question, so I replaced it
with the -L argument.

One question to all members who have used the script: Is the script designed to
run in the background, or is it simply invoked by Nagios and then closed when it
is done running? The reason I ask is I am manually running it, and it does not
immediately close. Thanks.

I don't use it but the first hit on google looks promising...

http://www.google.com/search?q=nagios+check_iptables

"The script does not (and can not) detect "stupid" rules. It's purpose  
is to ensure that iptables and the configured rules (whatever they may  
be) are loaded.

It is useful to identify situations such as:
- forgetting to start iptables at boot
- stopping iptables for testing and forgetting to restart
- etc

Normal condition is where all tables have 1 or more rules.
Critical condition is when a table (any table) has 0 rules. "

Hi Marc,

Thanks for the reply. I am even now vague about how to proceed.

Let me tell you the need :

I have to open http://ww12.1800flowers.com/signin.do and enter my
email(svenugop...@gmail.com) and password("podhum") in order to login.

When I login using the above valid credentials it would take me to the
next page or otherwise throw an error.

How do I compose the command line for check_http ?

Though this looks like a lot of hand holding, I have no other go.

Can you please help ?

Since you're using forms based authentication, use the -P parameter to 
check_http.

$ ./check_http --help

[chop]

  -P, --post=STRING
 URL encoded http POST data


check_http -I  -H www.venu.com -u /autorize.do -P 
"usernamefield=username&passwordfield=password"

If you need something more complex than that you might want to search 
for past posts about use of perl's WWW::Mechanize or 
Nagios::WebTransact to help create a custom plugin.

Note for future readers, if the site uses standard htaccess 
authentication then '-a username:password' if the format.

[Nagios-users] time based first_notification_delay

2009-01-22 Thread Klaus Umbach 
Hi,
I would like to delay notifications at night for 10 minutes. According to
the documentation, first_notification_delay is only possible for service
and host objects but not for contacts.

I was thinking about using escalations, but they start counting after the
last attempt of a check and after the first error like
first_notification_delay.

Any ideas how to setup my needs. (except changing configuration-files by
cron! :-) )

[Nagios-users] Using nagios check_http for web based authentication

2009-01-22 Thread Venugopal S 

Hi,



Can I do a check on a particular website by supplying the username and
password to nagios check_http commandline ?



To be clear :



Assume that I want to check whether login action happens properly on my
website which is www.venu.com  . And the login
page name is www.venu.com/signup.do . This form would take username and
password and send a POST request to www.venu.com/autorize.do. How will i
check this in nagios ?



If it had been GET method, I would have done that. But in my case, it is
POST method.



Please help me out.



Thanks

Re: [Nagios-users] selectively disable notifications for services inheriting a specific template?

Have you looked at service dependencies ?

It sounds like this is what you need.

Mohammed,

we have some accounts not stored in LDAP ("emergency", "srvadm"). So
this is our way to combine LDAP and local accounts.
