[Kyle O'Donnell]

there are binaries for nrpe available on the nagiosexchange.org site.

you must run the nrpe daemon with the -n option and when using check_nrpe

[Nagios-users] Nagios and Solaris 10 client

[syed jafar]

 
Does anyone know how to add Solaris 10 client to NAGIOS host/server. The server 
is running LINUX and I am trying to add Solaris 10 client and want to be able 
to monitor disk space and CPU utilization. I was getting errors during the 
addon compilation ans was told to compile using the -n option which disables 
SSL. Now when I try to run the nrpe I seem to be getting the SSL errors. What 
is the proper was the add clients to monitor the disk and CPU utilization.
 
Thanks,
Syed Jafar

Re: [Nagios-users] Cacti intigrate with nagios

[Max]

Hi Satish,

I wrote Cacinda, it is good for integrating the displays of the two,
but does nothing to help with host and user management.  Sorry.

Cacti uses RRD, so does PNP, so I would think you could use RRD files
from Cacti with PNP; haven't tried, but I don't see why that wouldn't
work.

You could set up PNP, copy the files from Cacti into PNP directories
and play with making a few templates and if that works then just use
PNP to view the historical files from Cacti in one location and use a
separate instance for new data.

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios + Postfix

[Martyn]

With this setting myhostname = chetnet.co.uk I can send mails to an external
mail box at proweb.co.uk, so it goes from an acco...@chetnet.co.uk to an
acco...@proweb.co.uk

But if I send a mail to al...@chetnet.co.uk I get to following

This is the mail system at host chetnet.co.uk.

#
I'm sorry to have to inform you that your message could not
be delivered to one or more recipients. It's attached below.

For further assistance, please send mail to postmaster.

If you do so, please include this problem report. You can
delete your own text from the attached returned message.

   The mail system
unknown user: "alert"
##

Why is this, does postfix believe that this user should be on the same box?
If so I can I force mails to chetnet be sent out to chetnet, this is
confusing me now.

Thanks

Google does though. Search for 'postfix domain change'. You're probably
going to be most interested in mydomain, myhostname and perhaps myorigin.

Yup, I'd reject that too. cna.localhost isn't a valid hostname or domain.

Yes, the install guide has to assume that the MTA packages and configuration
for whatever system you are using are sane. It's your responsibility to make
sure they are. Doing that is beyond the scope of nagios.

[Nagios-users] check_ntp_peer unreliable on macs

[Peter Doherty]

I've got Nagios monitoring several Macs, and I'd like to know that NTP  
is running okay on them, since if the time drifts by a few minutes,  
Kerberos Authentication stops working.
It seems that some of the newest Macs work okay, pretty much any of  
the Intel Macs running 10.5 Leopard work, but on any of the 10.4 Tiger  
Macs, I just get
" NTP CRITICAL: Server not synchronized, Offset unknown "

I'm simply running check_ntp_peer -H localhost

Any suggestions on if this can be fixed somehow?

Thanks

Re: [Nagios-users] Cacti intigrate with nagios

[Max]

Many of us have used Cacti and Nagios together (I did for several
years) :), some probably still do.  better to go with a Nagios-centric
graphing add-on like PNP (there are others available as well!) and not
use Cacti at all .. trust me, you will be a happier person for not
using both at the same time.

You can write scripts that auto-add hosts to Nagios based on the Cacti
database or vice-versa but it gets ugly pretty quickly.

I personally replaced Cacti with PNP and am very content with the
combination; MUCH less administration time than Cacti + Nagios and PNP
makes adding new templates much easier than Cacti does for people who
are comfortable with RRD syntax.

If you are running a 32 bits machine, you can use the kernel that has
VMware's paravirtualization support and ask your infrastructure admin
to enable that option in the VM.

I'm running nagios v3 from BuildService on a Xen domU with SLES10SP2.

I have tried for the last few hours buy I can not resolve it, where have I
gone wrong, below is my config


#
# See /usr/share/postfix/main.cf.dist for a commented, more complete version

# is /etc/mailname.
#myorigin = /etc/mailname

smtpd_banner = $myhostname ESMTP $mail_name (Ubuntu)
biff = no

# appending .domain is the MUA's job.
append_dot_mydomain = no

# Uncomment the next line to generate "delayed mail" warnings

Google does though. Search for 'postfix domain change'. You're probably
going to be most interested in mydomain, myhostname and perhaps myorigin.

Yup, I'd reject that too. cna.localhost isn't a valid hostname or domain.

Yes, the install guide has to assume that the MTA packages and configuration
for whatever system you are using are sane. It's your responsibility to make
sure they are. Doing that is beyond the scope of nagios.

[Nagios-users] brocade snmp reports ifAdminStatus incorrectly

[York, Bill, DoIT]

Hi all,

I know this is probably the wrong place to post this, but it does pertain to 
Nagios.

I encountered a problem while using snmp4nagios. the program is supposed to 
report admin=up/oper=down as a critical error. i was testing this by unplugging 
the fiber from a host on the switch. when i do this, the check_brocade_port 
program was generating a WARNING, saying that the admin status as down. it 
reports exactly the same message as when i administratively disable the same 
port.

curiously enough, logging on to the switch and running a switchshow displays 
the correct status. that is, not disabled and NO_LIGHT. That condition should 
report adminstatus=up and operstatus=down.

this seems to me to be an issue with brocade's snmp vs. the internals of the 
switch.

has anyone else encountered this issue and is there a way to get the switch to 
report the ifAdminStatus correctly?

thanks,
bill york

Indeed, I see it above in the same file (xdata/xodtemplat...@978):

case S_IFREG:
x=strlen(dirfile->d_name);
if(x<=4 || strcmp(dirfile->d_name+(x-4),".cfg"))
break;

Thanks.

In this case, there was a cfg_file and cfg_dir values causing the same file
to be parsed twice, but O.P. is checking another failure now.

[Nagios-users] Greetings. Anyone using Oracle Grid Control to send alert data into Nagios?

[Jim . Melin]

I'm looking to have Oracle grid control send alert data into Nagios. Thus far 
I've only been doing things via NRPE, as it's a fairly small monitoring
structure.

I was wondering if anyone was interfacing to Oracle grid control, what 
information you were getting from it and how you were getting that information
into Nagios. And if anyone is using an event handler in conjunction with this, 
what sorts of things are you using event handlers for?

Re: [Nagios-users] Using SLES10 and Nagios 3.x under VMWare

I run Nagios in a dual-CPU VM (CentOS 5.2 guest on VMWare ESX 
3.something).  Once in a while, Nagios would shut down some time after 
midnight.  I suspect that ESX is pretty busy while the other VMs are 
being backed up.  The system log had entries like this:

Jan  7 00:18:17 Monitor2 nagios: Caught SIGSEGV, shutting down...
Jan  7 00:18:27 Monitor2 kernel: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#1 stuck for 10s! 
[check_nt:21036] Jan  7 00:18:27 Monitor2 kernel: CPU 1:

It didn't happen all the time, and there wasn't much I could do about it 
when it did happen.  I created another Nagios VM identical to the first, 
except it's got a script which monitors the primary server and takes 
over if the primary fails.  Nagios is not started on the failover 
server, so it takes very few resources to keep idling along.

There are ~550 hosts and ~4500 services being monitored, and the two 
virtual CPUs run around 80% each in the Gnome system monitor app, and 
1.3-2.0 in the load averages.  They're both 3.0 virtual GHz, if I recall 
correctly.  I have large installation tweaks turned on as well.  The 
Nagios server is busy enough all the time that the server guys have 
mentioned going back to physical hardware if I have to add much more.

 From a user's perspective, I can't tell it's on a VM.  I think the 
slowest part is how quickly my PC can render Nagios' web pages.

You have very likely updated to nagios 3.x from 2.x in rpmforge,
without following the discussion on the changes in packaging. There
are some minor config changes that you need to make. I do not have the
email postings handy but you can find them in the rpmforge user list
archives I'm sure.

Proweb is not under my control

I'm not to sure what you mean with regards to the rest of you reply, I have
not set up postfix to masquerade anything, would not know how to do that

I'm sending the mail from the Nagios Server from address
nag...@cna.localhost to not...@proweb.co.uk

I have not configured postfix in anyway, the install guide just implied that
I did the following and it would work out of the box so to speak

apt-get install sysutils mailx lsb-release postfix

Do I need to carry out additional steps in postfix, if so what are they.

Thanks for your reply

Sounds like mail.proweb.co.uk is rejecting your connection. Is that a server
you control? What do it's logs say about the transaction?

If it's not a server you control, are you following standard/expected SMTP
conventions? Is the e-mail address being used as the from valid (i.e. is the
@domain part legitimate and exist in DNS)? This often comes from the
hostname of the machine if you've not configured postfix to masquerade that.
Does the public IP for your sending machine have valid reverse DNS, not on
an RBL, not on a known 'dynamic' IP? Are you permitted to use that server to
send mail?

Make sure that Nagios is running and that you have specified the

[Nagios-users] Contacts on templates

[Jaime Ventura]

Hello,
I have the following drought about templates.
For instance:

define service{
nameservice-sic
use generic-service
register0
contact_groups  admins-group
}

define service{
namemy-new-service
use service-sic
contact_groups  my-new-service-admins-group
}


What happens in this case is that "contact_groups" on "my-new-service"
replaces the "contact_groups" on the template.
Is there a way do append instead of replace?
Thanks
Jaime

Re: [Nagios-users] Problems running Nagios

[Dunn, Larry]

 Thanks everyone for your help. It turned out the nagios user was using
the wrong version of the libintl library. I compared the root user and
the nagios user and saw they were using different libraries (different
directories).

That sound you are hearing is me beating my head against a wall

As I said, thanks for all of your suggestions and help. I am back and
working again.

How did the ldd check go? Everything referenced is present and accounted
for? I expect that you're missing something.

It's been some time since I've used solaris but I believe
libintl_bindtextdomain comes from gettext. Is that installed and up-to-
date? How did you install the plugins? Compiled on this machine with
gnu-make, gcc?

Getting into weird grey area for me... Taking a semi-logical guess,  
are the permissions on the library directories and referenced  
libraries themselves such that nagios can read and execute them?

check_ping is somewhat special in that it's just a fancy wrapper for (/ 
usr)/bin/ping. ping must be SUID root to be run by the nagios user/ 
check_ping so you might want to verify that. Do you see the same  
symptoms with other plugins (check_http for example)?

Sounds like mail.proweb.co.uk is rejecting your connection. Is that a  
server you control? What do it's logs say about the transaction?

If it's not a server you control, are you following standard/expected  
SMTP conventions? Is the e-mail address being used as the from valid  
(i.e. is the @domain part legitimate and exist in DNS)? This often  
comes from the hostname of the machine if you've not configured  
postfix to masquerade that. Does the public IP for your sending  
machine have valid reverse DNS, not on an RBL, not on a known  
'dynamic' IP? Are you permitted to use that server to send mail?

Re: [Nagios-users] Problems running Nagios

[Dunn, Larry]

I should also tell all of you working on this that I can run the
check_ping script manually as root and not have any problem.

I just checked the libraries and they all look fine. It has to be
something with the nagios user but I am beside myself trying to
understand what I am missing.

How did the ldd check go? Everything referenced is present and accounted

It's been some time since I've used solaris but I believe
libintl_bindtextdomain comes from gettext. Is that installed and up-to-

[Nagios-users] Nagios + Postfix

[Martyn]

I can not seem to get any notifications through from Nagios, I installed
postfix as suggested but I just keep getting my mails queuing, so far I have
over 200 sitting there with the same status message

Lost connection with mail.proweb.co.uk while sending MAIL FROM

Has anybody else had this issue and if so how did you fix it.

Cheers

Does your web server have permissions to read the status log? That's  
different than nagios.log. Look at the value of status_file in  
nagios.cfg.

[Nagios-users] status.log pb

[Stéphane Cesbron]

Hi,

I had a working nagios 2.11 instance on a CentOS 5.2 box.
I wanted to upgrape it to the 3.06 version.

=>running yum update

Everything works fine
I can reach the web page, nevertheless I'm always getting this message :
There doesn't appear to be any host status information in the status log...

Make sure that Nagios is running and that you have specified the 
location of you status log correctly in the configuration files.

whenever I want to see :
- services details
- services problems
- hosts details
- hosts problems

But when I want to the Status Map, it works !

/usr/bin/nagios -v /etc/nagios/nagios.cfg is fine => No warnings, No errors

when I'm running the plugins, for example :
./check_by_ssh -H 172.20.25.9 -C '/home/nagios/plugins/check_disk -w 20% 
-c 10% -p /sauvegarde -t 15'
everything's working fine

The /var/log/nagios/nagios.log file does exist !!! and is updated !!! It 
is the correct file stated in /etc/nagios/nagios.cfg

Any ideas, Any suggestions ?

Any help will be welcomed,

Regards,

If you want to use rpm packages, there is a project in the openSUSE 
Buildservice (http://build.opensuse.org). There we package the stable version 
of nagios and nagios-plugins for easy installation. You can find there some 
other plugins too, espacially plugins for SLES and openSUSE.

Here is a link to the repos, you can use them in yast/zypper/rug if you 
want ;)

Re: [Nagios-users] Using SLES10 and Nagios 3.x under VMWare

[Deborah Martin]

Hi Christian, 

The vmware environment (i.e Sles10) is built by IT services here so I don't
have any insight on this part. 

I shall then build nagios from source so that I have a more granular control
over where things go although it's mostly 
to standard places i.e /usr/local/nagios etc 



regards,
deborah

Hi,
we've used an vmware image for testing our config and new nagios packages
and everything went fine. We now changed to xen guests because I prefer xen
;)

I see no problems with running nagios in a virtual machine.

Do you use the official packages from SLES or the ones from buildservice? Or
do you install nagios from sources?

Christian

Yes. Sorry, I should have provided more info:

I am running this on a system running Solaris 9 and on a Sun Ultra 80

I just tried to run the check_ping plug-in by hand and am getting the
error:

Thanks for checking the FAQ. Can we assume that this is running under  
Solaris?

Can you run the plugins from the command line as the nagios user? That  
might provide more interesting information. Try also using 'ldd /path/ 
to/broken/plugin' to see what libraries it's expecting and verify that  
they exist in the specified paths.

Note that this will only test the difference between the clocks on the  
nagios host and the host you're checking. It won't tell you if either  
are actually correct. You should ensure that at the least, your nagios  
host is correctly synchronizing time with an NTP server (check_ntp can  
help with verifying that).

[Nagios-users] Problems running Nagios

[Dunn, Larry]

I am using Nagios 3.0.4 and something has gone wrong. I just got the
installation working yesterday and now this morning I restarted and am
getting an error when nagios runs.
 
 
Warning: Return code of 137 for check of service 'name of service' on

Title:   Return code of X is out of bounds error message
FAQ ID:  F0017  
Submitted By:Ethan Galstad  
Last Updated:06/17/2003 

Description: A "(Return code of x is out of bounds)" error is
displayed in the output of a host or service check. Similiar error
messages may appear in the log file. 

 

Solution:If the plugin output for a host or service check give a
"(Return code of x is out of bounds)" error it usually means one of the
following: 

1.  The plugin you're using to perform the host or service check is
not returning the proper return code when it exits.


2.  The path to the plugin is invalid (i.e. the binary or script
does not exist). This is most likely the case if you get errors about a
return code of 127 being out of bounds. If this is the error you're
getting, check your command definitions and make sure the path to all
executables is correct (and that they're actually installed on your
system).


3.  The plugin is not executable. This is most likely the case if
you get errors about a return code of 126 being out of bounds. If this
is the error you're getting, make sure you've set the plugin to be
executable (using chmod +x).


4.  The plugins are not finding libraries they were linked against
at compile time. Sean Berry noted that on Solaris 8 this results in
plugins returning an exit code of 137. The fix for this is to set the
LD_LIBRARY_PATH for the nagios account to include the paths to the
necessary libraries (i.e. /usr/local/lib).



Related FAQs:F0037
The libexec/ subdirectory is missing from my Nagios
installation. Where are all the plugins?
Keywords:return code bounds plugin error
I have checked my install and checked the LD_LIBRARY_PATH and nothing
has changed that should be causing this to happen.  Has anyone else seen
this problem? Have you found anything else that I can look at to try to
resovle this problem?

[Nagios-users] Using SLES10 and Nagios 3.x under VMWare

[Deborah Martin]

Hi, 

I've never used SLES10 + Nagios 3.x as a VM Ware box and I wondered if any
of you had come 
across any issues that I should be aware of. (A new environment is being
built in this way to replace 
an old PC running nagios) 

Basically, the nagios 3.x setup is very simple. We use it to monitor
database activity such as
RAM or disk usage amongst others using plugins that I wrote.

Nagios monitors a few other nodes using ping or ssh but other than that it's
not a complicated setup. 

Any feedback / advice on running Nagios within VM Ware would be really
useful. 

thanks,
deborah

[Nagios-users] check_time giving error

[Darryl Nortje]

Hi there guys,

 

I'm searching the archive and can't find anything about this simple (I
think) problem.

 

All I want to do is on server x, call 

 

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_time -H serverY

 

As I understand it this should give me the time on the server. Instead I
get the error

 

"Connection refused

TIME UNKNOWN - could not connect to server serverY, port 37"

 

I'm helluva new to nagios, and just can't seem to get over this little
hurdle. 

 

Do I have to have some special setup on serverY?

How do I know which ports to use?

 

Thanks in advance for the help, hopefully this is as simple as it sounds
to solve.

 

Cheers

Darryl

[Nagios-users] servicedependencies and flapping

[Klaus Umbach]

I defined servicedependencies for all check_nrpe-based services depending
on NSClient++ on the Windows-hosts, so I only get one notification if for
any reason NSClient++ doesn't respond, which works quite well. Now for some
reason on a host the connection to NSClient++ starts flapping and I get
FLAPPINGSTART and FLAPPINGSTOP messages for all the dependent services and
not only for my NSClient++-service.

How can I stop this?

Cheers
Klaus

I did not go into the code but I assume that one could try to
* Try to split the external command pipe and read it. I guess CGI sends 
commands this way, perhaps also the ones to disable the notifications.
* Use the nagios logging to see if disable/enable triggers some specific 
log lines and parse them
* Try to make diffs of the nagios retention data, perhaps one could read 
disable/enable changes from here
* Modify the cgi binaries to add custom event handlers for 
disable/enable detection
* Ask the nagios users list, perhaps there is support for this already 
in the cgi binaries but I do not know about it

[Nagios-users] Get event when notifications enabled/disabled

[Roman Fiedler]

Hi List,

Is there a simple way to detect when notifications for host/service are 
enabled/disabled via web interface? I try to make nagios send a mail 
when someone disables notifications for one service.

Thanks, Roman

Re: [Nagios-users] Unhandled Passiv services

[Mohr James]

I did some more googling and found in the description of the macros that 
"unhandled" also has the extra caveat that the node must have active checks 
enabled. That explains what is happening. However, I personally do not see any 
logic in including only services with active checks. Does anyone have an 
explanation?
