Hello all,

I made a mistake in the plug-in.  Both Perl script and KSH script were
residing in the same directory.  When executing locally it knew where
to look for external shell script. The code was as follows:

my $PIPED = qx# ksh check_oracle_services.sh $SERVICE #;

But when executed from nagios server, NRPE daemon on monitored host
wouldn't know where to look for the shell script hence the wrong
output.  Adding absolute path to the check_oracle_services.sh fixed
the problem

my $PIPED = qx# ksh /home/nagios/nrpe/libexec/check_oracle_services.sh
$SERVICE #;

The new code is as follows (may be someone would find it useful):

check_oracle_services.pl


#!/usr/bin/env perl

use strict;
use Getopt::Std;

my %return_value = (
OK => 0,
CRIT => 2,
UNKNOWN => 3
);

my $message = "nagios";
my $exit_status;

my %opt=();
getopts("p:h", \%opt);

sub usage(){
print "Usage: $0 -p service_name\n";
exit $return_value{'UNKNOWN'};
}

usage() if defined $opt{'h'};

my $SERVICE = $opt{'p'} if defined $opt{'p'} || usage();

my $PIPED = qx# ksh /home/nagios/nrpe/libexec/check_oracle_services.sh
$SERVICE #;

if ($PIPED =~ /OFFLINE/g) {
$exit_status = $return_value{'CRIT'};
$message = "Critical: $SERVICE is not running.";
} else {
$exit_status = $return_value{'OK'};
$message = "OK: $SERVICE is running.";
}

print "$message\n";
exit $exit_status;




check_oracle_services.sh


#!/usr/bin/ksh

RSC_KEY=$1

/oracle/crs_home/bin/crs_stat -u | awk \
'BEGIN { FS="="; state = 0; } \
$1~/NAME/ && $2~/'$RSC_KEY'/ {appname = $2; state=1}; \
state == 0 {next;} \
$1~/TARGET/ && state == 1 {apptarget = $2; state=2;} \
$1~/STATE/ && state == 2 {appstate = $2; state=3;} \
state == 3 {printf "%-45s %-18s\n", appname, appstate; state=0;}'



Sorry for the inconvenience caused.

Thanks

Re: [Nagios-users] monitor primergy servers with esx

[Natxo Asenjo]

hi,

I have done some tests. One needs the RAID.mib file and this file is
only in the windows package for serverviewraid (tsk, tsk).

Anyway, once we have this file we can test stuff.

Important OIDS:
.1.3.6.1.4.1.231.2.49.1.5.2.1 ->
.iso.org.dod.internet.private.enterprises.sni.sniProductMibs.fscRAIDMIB.svrObjects.svrPhysicalDeviceInfo.svrPhysicalDeviceTable.svrPhysicalDeviceEntry

Disks are online

Situation 2: I remove one disk from its bay

$ snmpwalk server -c public -v 1 -m FSC-RAID-MIB .1.3.6.1.4.1.231.2.49.1.3
FSC-RAID-MIB::svrStatusLogicalDrives.0 = INTEGER: prefailure(2)
FSC-RAID-MIB::svrStatusPhysicalDevices.0 = INTEGER: failure(3)
FSC-RAID-MIB::svrStatusControllers.0 = INTEGER: prefailure(2)
FSC-RAID-MIB::svrStatusOverall.0 = INTEGER: prefailure(2)

Everything is 'prefailure', except for physicaldevices, it's a
'failure' (disk is physically removed from the bay). I forgot to check
the other OID for this one, I'll post the results later.

Situation 3: 'failed' disk is back in bay, rebuilding starts:

$ snmpwalk server -c public -v 1 -m FSC-RAID-MIB .1.3.6.1.4.1.231.2.49.1.3

FSC-RAID-MIB::svrStatusLogicalDrives.0 = INTEGER: prefailure(2)
FSC-RAID-MIB::svrStatusPhysicalDevices.0 = INTEGER: ok(1)
FSC-RAID-MIB::svrStatusControllers.0 = INTEGER: prefailure(2)
FSC-RAID-MIB::svrStatusOverall.0 = INTEGER: prefailure(2)

everthing is 'prefailure' except for svrStatusPhysicalDevices.0, it is
'ok', disks is in bay.

$ snmpwalk server -c public -v 1 -m FSC-RAID-MIB .1.3.6.1.4.1.231.2.49.1.5.2.1
FSC-RAID-MIB::svrPhysicalDeviceCtrlNr.1.0.0.0 = INTEGER: 1

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios and Cacti

[Marco Tirado]

Hello:

There are a couple of examples in the nagios exchange page of different
approachs for integrating nagios and cacti. You should check that out.

I believe the synchronization is going to cost you time and money, a better
approach is to use nagios + pnp4naigos (this generates nice graphs) +
check_snmp_int.pl (this for bandwidth tests). That way you have only one
place to place your configuration.  There are tons of other snmp plugins you
can use for other tests (CPU, Memory, etc),

[Nagios-users] Nagios and Cacti

[Christopher McAtackney]

Hi all,

I've been looking into making use of Cacti to act as an SNMP
management tool which runs alongside my Nagios instance.

Ideally, what I would like to do is have Cacti monitor various
SNMP-exposed metrics on my hosts, and then have a service check in
Nagios which parses Cacti's results (which I believe are RRD files)
and send alerts etc.

Nagios itself will still be used for running directly checks for
services running, errors in log files etc.

Does this approach make sense?

One issue that I can think of is the difficulty in keeping the config
files of Nagios and Cacti synchronised.  I was planning on using Lilac
Platform to act as my Nagios config file management tool, but how that
is kept in synch with Cacti is a problem. Has anyone ever set up an
arrangement like this before?

Cheers,
Chris

thanks a lot for your reply Assaf,

I am not sure which conf you mean but here are a few things in the
meantime. Maybe you could point this Nagios newbie what you need? :/

thanks!

The information you need to look into is the configuration files of the nagios 
, located in the etc 
directory of the nagios installation directory .

which version of nagios are you running ?
did you install from source or packages ?
what distro are you using ?

how did you preform the initial installation ?

please send all your replies to the list and not to individual members - so

second :
this is a command declaration in the commands file , have you associated a

and even before that - did you install the nagios-plugins ? 
the nagios-plugins are the actual check scripts executed to preform the checks

I'm not using 3.x yet but just to provide some feedback, what you're  
doing looks reasonable from my reading of the documentation. I do see  
this in 3.1.0's commands.c though --

 /* SECURITY PATCH - disable these for the time being */
 switch(cmd){
 case CMD_CHANGE_GLOBAL_HOST_EVENT_HANDLER:
 case CMD_CHANGE_GLOBAL_SVC_EVENT_HANDLER:
 case CMD_CHANGE_HOST_EVENT_HANDLER:
 case CMD_CHANGE_SVC_EVENT_HANDLER:
 case CMD_CHANGE_HOST_CHECK_COMMAND:
 case CMD_CHANGE_SVC_CHECK_COMMAND:
 return ERROR;
 }

That's in the right section and my reading of the code is that it does  
exactly that; prevent changing of those values... Maybe it's something  
being worked on in the development branch?

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios and Cacti

[Andrew Davis]

And just an FYI from my own experience... putting Nagios & Cacti on the 
same server has been somewhat problematic for us. We have over 400 
network devices between switches, routers, WAPs, etc. We also have about 
300 monitored servers. Initially I had Nagios and Cacti both on one 
server with Cacti running via cron every 5 minutes. About every 5 
minutes, my shells would become unresponsive for roughly 30 to 90 
seconds. Turning off either Nagios or Cacti resolved the issue. Running 
both seems to have hammered the server a bit (4Gb of RAM, 2 x dual core 
2.x Ghz CPUs). We don't integrate Cacti and Nagios, however. Nagios does 
both trending and alerts of all servers. Cacti does trending only of all 
network devices/ports. Once I moved Cacti to its own server, all was 
fine as far as load/latency went.

I believe the synchronization is going to cost you time and money, a 
better approach is to use nagios + pnp4naigos (this generates nice 
graphs) + check_snmp_int.pl (this for bandwidth tests). That way you 
have only one place to place your configuration.  There are tons of 
other snmp plugins you can use for other tests (CPU, Memory, etc),

Hi all,

I've been looking into making use of Cacti to act as an SNMP
management tool which runs alongside my Nagios instance.

Ideally, what I would like to do is have Cacti monitor various
SNMP-exposed metrics on my hosts, and then have a service check in
Nagios which parses Cacti's results (which I believe are RRD files)
and send alerts etc.

Nagios itself will still be used for running directly checks for
services running, errors in log files etc.

Does this approach make sense?

One issue that I can think of is the difficulty in keeping the config
files of Nagios and Cacti synchronised.  I was planning on using Lilac
Platform to act as my Nagios config file management tool, but how that
is kept in synch with Cacti is a problem. Has anyone ever set up an
arrangement like this before?

Cheers,
Chris

That's useful to know Andrew, thanks.

Regarding the trending of network devices - is there any reason why
this can't be done by Nagios? I intend to install PNP4Nagios to take
care of graphing anyway, but I think it would be nice to have all my
monitored resources under the one system (for notifications and ease
of administration).

Is there some major advantage that Cacti provides when it comes to
SNMP monitoring of network devices that cannot be achieved with Nagios
and the various SNMP plug-ins available for it (e.g. like these ones
http://nagios.manubulon.com) ?

Cheers,
Chris

hehe.

Really, I don't want to redo the whole install as I am not THAT server
techy and I try to rely on a service called Supreme Support that are
supposed to make my life better. I need to point to Supreme Support
where the problem is.

Do you think you can point it out quickly from the config files I sent?

Because most seems installed correctly, it looks there are loose handles.

thanks again!

[Nagios-users] problems with log rotation

[Eric Doutreleau]

hi

i used nagios3.1
i have configured a daily log rotation

but after several days i suspect there s a problem with the log rotation

i found several instance of nagios which the majority are defunct ones
and they all begun at 00:00 but on different days.

and the scheduler is going mad.
a lot of check are not launched and i got a lot of these messages

[1239201355] Warning: The check of service 'memoire disponible' on host
'www-tp' looks like it was orphaned (results never came back).  I'm

Does someone knows how to solve that problems?

thanks in advance for any help

not nagios is a great tool , but it requires quite a bit of initial

looks like the didn't do .

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios and Cacti

[Daniel Emmanuel Feinsmith]

It depends on the intensity of your snmp usage. Cacti has a native  
daemon to do large scale snmp getting, and it does a great job of it.  
So if u have hundreds of devices, each with a lot of interfaces, u  
will probably like cacti. The user interface is also well done for  
graphing snmp data and thresholding on it using the threshold plugin.

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios and Cacti

[Daniel Emmanuel Feinsmith]

If you move your mysql instance to another server, you can get much  
better performance on a nagios/cacti server. Check top while cacti is  
running a large install and you will see that mysql is hoarding CPU  
and memory resources not leaving much for nagios.

With parallel checks in Nagios 3 and some configuration tuning and
well-written SNMP checks, I'd argue that Nagios is as good if not a
better poller than cactid :).   our instance is not huge, but
currently we do 7000+ SNMP-based checks in 3 minutes on a dual
quad-core Linux-based server.

Before PNP I used to use Cacti and Nagios.  I like Cacti, but with PNP
around I would never go back to that combination again .. Nagios + PNP
really does simplify life for Nagios administrators and provides a lot
of flexibility as far as how you scale your graphing as your node base
grows.

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios and Cacti

[Andrew Davis]

I agree. Initially I had Nagios doing all the trending. But with 400+ 
network devices and many of them with multiple 48 port blades, I found 
Cacti was easier to configure... it scaled a lot better. For a smaller 
network, you could easily do just Nagios. I've had no issues at all with 
Nagios + PNP for alerts and trending. In fact, Nagios still watches my 
core network devices (but not all the ports of them... ie: Nagios 
watches that switch1 is up and available and trends its CPU and memory 
usage... however I use Cacti for trending the 6 blades each with 48 
ports in switch1). This way, if switch1 fails or utilization is too 
high, Nagios tells me, but if a particular user is hogging all our 
bandwidth or having lots of packet loss, I find that via Cacti.

2009/4/8 Andrew Davis :

And just an FYI from my own experience... putting Nagios & Cacti on  
the same

server has been somewhat problematic for us. We have over 400 network
devices between switches, routers, WAPs, etc. We also have about 300
monitored servers. Initially I had Nagios and Cacti both on one  
server with
Cacti running via cron every 5 minutes. About every 5 minutes, my  
shells
would become unresponsive for roughly 30 to 90 seconds. Turning off  
either
Nagios or Cacti resolved the issue. Running both seems to have  
hammered the
server a bit (4Gb of RAM, 2 x dual core 2.x Ghz CPUs). We don't  
integrate
Cacti and Nagios, however. Nagios does both trending and alerts of  
all
servers. Cacti does trending only of all network devices/ports.  
Once I moved

Cacti to its own server, all was fine as far as load/latency went.
  

That's useful to know Andrew, thanks.

Regarding the trending of network devices - is there any reason why
this can't be done by Nagios? I intend to install PNP4Nagios to take
care of graphing anyway, but I think it would be nice to have all my
monitored resources under the one system (for notifications and ease
of administration).

Is there some major advantage that Cacti provides when it comes to
SNMP monitoring of network devices that cannot be achieved with Nagios
and the various SNMP plug-ins available for it (e.g. like these ones
http://nagios.manubulon.com) ?

Cheers,
Chris

 Hi all,

 I am having an issue with all of the devices I added showing warning all 
 the time. It is a simple snmp check to see if the amps are above 
 160warn/180critical. They always say warning even though they are less 
 than the specified 160. One thing to note is once it hits the 160 mark 
 it gets the * value * in turn, showing that it is actually in the 
 warning range. I have shown the neccesary data I hope below. Any/all 
 help is greatly appreciated.

Well, my response would be to fix the problem that's causing the  
outages in the first place or adjust the way you're monitoring the  
parents so that the plugin used recognizes when this temporary event  
is occurring. What you're asking for is that nagios track that the  
child went from down->unreachable->down without an intermediate OK  
state and suppress notifications in that case. That would appear to be  
a code change and would be better discussed on nagios-devel but I  
would encourage the check plugin approach first.

Also does anyone have some nagios config examples integrating PNP and
these SNMP plugins...

I have been trying to get an idea how to create the commands.cfg and
services.cfg using these parts... Any examples of host based checks
would be great. 

I have tried to read the relevant docs but have not found explicit
nagios .cfg examples... if they exist a gentle pointer would also be
great.

thank you, Giovanni

Ok, fair enough. There is nothing we can do about the outages (as I  
explained in one of my e-mail, they are an artifact of the connection  
type), so that leaves us with adjusting the monitoring. Now I thought  
that the recheck options were there exactly for this reason: to catch  
brief outages and not alert. And for the parent host that seems to be  
the case, but apparently that logic doesn't carry on to the child  
hosts. As such, somehow things would need to be adjusted so it never  
even sees the outages, even enough to go into a soft down state.  
Anyone have any suggestions for how I can accomplish this? Adjusting  
the timeout or using, say, an ssh check rather than icmp won't do it -  
the packets are still lost, and the ssh check would still timeout..  
Perhaps if I sent more pings at longer intervals (so that if it  
doesn't get a response the single check retries at 15 second intervals  
or so before returning a response), but then the check would start  
taking several seconds or more to complete, and that wouldn't be a  
good thing. Assuming nagios even allowed a check to run that long -  
doesn't it have a mechanism to kill a check that doesn't return in a  
given time frame? I'm a little stumped here how I can adjust things.

Ok. I know there is code in there that know who it sent down messages  
to and doesn't send up messages to people that didn't get a down  
(primarily dealing with escalations) so I was hoping that maybe there  
would be something similar for this, i.e. seeing that the last  
notification sent was a down notification, and as such there is no  
need to send another. But if not, so be it. Thanks for the response!

[Nagios-users] multiple parents

[Lori Adams]

We have several hosts that have multiple parents.

Will the child notify as down if only one of the parents is down?  Or will the 
child suppress notifications because one of its parents is down?

Re: [Nagios-users] Children "unreachable" on soft down?

[Christopher Burke]

I wonder if there is something you can do with notification escalations?
I know you can control how the notifications are sent out, but I don't
know if a state change from down to unreachable to down will cause the
escalation to reset.

brief outages and not alert. And for the parent host that seems to be 
the case, but apparently that logic doesn't carry on to the child 
hosts. As such, somehow things would need to be adjusted so it never 
even sees the outages, even enough to go into a soft down state. 
Anyone have any suggestions for how I can accomplish this? Adjusting 
the timeout or using, say, an ssh check rather than icmp won't do it - 
the packets are still lost, and the ssh check would still timeout.. 
Perhaps if I sent more pings at longer intervals (so that if it 
doesn't get a response the single check retries at 15 second intervals 
or so before returning a response), but then the check would start 
taking several seconds or more to complete, and that wouldn't be a 
good thing. Assuming nagios even allowed a check to run that long - 
doesn't it have a mechanism to kill a check that doesn't return in a 
given time frame? I'm a little stumped here how I can adjust things.

Ok. I know there is code in there that know who it sent down messages 
to and doesn't send up messages to people that didn't get a down 
(primarily dealing with escalations) so I was hoping that maybe there 
would be something similar for this, i.e. seeing that the last 
notification sent was a down notification, and as such there is no 
need to send another. But if not, so be it. Thanks for the response!

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios and Cacti

[jmoseley]

I agree with Daniel's post below.  We have Nagios and Cacti running on the
same system; Nagios monitors 691 hosts and 1800 services while Cacti is
pulling stats for about the same number of hosts, but something like 3200
data sources.  They run on a dual Xeon 2.8 Ghz box with only 2 Gb or RAM
(no swapping going on).  Average load is about 1.5 and peaks at 3 about 3-4
times a day.
The key is that mysql operations are on a dedicated box with 15k SCSI
drives and RAID 10.

If you move your mysql instance to another server, you can get much better
performance on a nagios/cacti server. Check top while cacti is running a
large install and you will see that mysql is hoarding CPU and memory
resources not leaving much for nagios.

  both on one server with Cacti running via cron every 5 minutes. About
  every 5 minutes, my shells would become unresponsive for roughly 30

  Running both seems to have hammered the server a bit (4Gb of RAM, 2 x

  however. Nagios does both trending and alerts of all servers. Cacti
  does trending only of all network devices/ports. Once I moved Cacti

Hello:

There are a couple of examples in the nagios exchange page of
different approachs for integrating nagios and cacti. You
should check that out.

I believe the synchronization is going to cost you time and
money, a better approach is to use nagios + pnp4naigos (this
generates nice graphs) + check_snmp_int.pl (this for bandwidth
tests). That way you have only one place to place your
configuration.  There are tons of other snmp plugins you can
use for other tests (CPU, Memory, etc),

  Nagios which parses Cacti's results (which I believe are RRD

  Nagios itself will still be used for running directly checks

  Does this approach make sense?

  One issue that I can think of is the difficulty in keeping

Thanks! I should have done some code-diving, because that goes pretty
far toward explaining why those commands don't work for me as currently
documented.

It's not. That snippet comes from Nov 30 2008 as a measure to prevent
CVE-2008-5027 (cmd.cgi authorization bypass vulnerability) and
CVE-2008-5028 (cross-site request forgery) from becoming remote command
execution vulnerabilities.

Ethan added that snippet as an extra security measure. It's been in
Nagios since 3.0.4.

Assuming both the patches I sent are applied, it's safe to remove that
particular snippet and recompile Nagios.


I wrote about the two vulnerabilities here in case anyone needs to
refresh their memory:
http://blogs.op5.org/blog4.php/2008/11/11/nagios-cmd-cgi-authorization-bypass-vuln
http://blogs.op5.org/blog4.php/2008/11/11/cross-site-request-forgery-vulnerability-6

The patches to prevent them are available here:

All parents of a host has to be down for it to become unreachable.
If you have configured the host (and your contacts) to send notifications
on unreachable states, you may still get notifications for it, but not
HOST DOWN ones.

[Nagios-users] Hostnames and regex

[Niall O Broin]

I recently changed a Nagios configuration to use a regex with  
hostnames but it hasn't been entirely satisfactory. I have e.g.

define service{
 use generic-service
 host_name host*
 service_description Total Processes
 check_command snmp_procs!120!150

but for some hosts, I need to use different thresholds. I tried to use

define service{
 use generic-service
 host_name hostNN
 service_description Total Processes
 check_command snmp_procs!200!250

but hostNN still alerts based on the host* thresholds. I tried placing  
the definition for host NN before AND after the host* definition - it  
made no difference. From what I read of Nagios regex, they're not full  
regex so it wouldn't be possible to write one which matched host* but  
didn't match hostNN.

Is there a way of doing what I want, apart from the obvious one of  
renaming the hosts which I don't want to match the regex?

[Nagios-users] NSClient not providing results

[Murali Krishnan S]

Hi,

  When I set NSClient++ to start automatically in services, its running but
not providing the results. All I'm getting is

"could not fetch information from server" .

Even when I run the "check_nt" plugin manually also, I'm getting the same
result.

[r...@nagios libexec]# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nt -H 192.168.0.119
-p 12489 -v MEMUSE  -w 80 -c 90
could not fetch information from server

After searching and reading mailing lists I've tweaked certain things like
"disabling firewall",  "enabling DEP", etc. Still the same result.

Only one way I could make the NSClient to respond is,  running it in Command
line with "-test" option.

c:\NSClient++>"NSClient++.exe" -test

When I run this, I'm getting the CHECKS GREEN..

[r...@nagios libexec]# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nt -H 192.168.0.119
-p 12489 -v MEMUSE  -w 80 -c 90
Memory usage: total:4308.71 Mb - used: 1606.41 Mb (37%) - free: 2702.30 Mb
(63%) | 'Memory usage'=1606.41Mb;3446.97;3877.84;0.00;4308.71

Everytime I reboot the machine. I need to start this in command line.  Any
solution, inputs ?   Please provide...

Thanks.

[Nagios-users] Monitor netstat connection states using nagios.

[asam30]

Hi All,

I am using check_tcp to check status of a particular port on the server.
This is working good. I would also need to monitor LISTEN status (SYN_RECV)
of that port. for ex,

I have a ldap service running on port 3890, so the command

netstat  -anp  | grep 3890

tcp0  0 0.0.0.0:3890 0.0.0.0:*
   LISTEN 16029/java
tcp0  0 10.121.30.121:3890  10.121.6.1:8831
ESTABLISHED 16029/java
tcp0  0 10.121.30.121:3890  10.121.6.1:61052
ESTABLISHED 16029/java
tcp  228  0 10.121.30.121:3890  10.121.6.1:49440
ESTABLISHED 16029/java
tcp0  0 10.121.30.121:3890  10.121.6.1:11664
  SYN_RECV16029/java

The establish connections are ok to allow, but we need to monitor SYN_RECV
status. If there is any such(SYN_RECV) connection appears, we immediately
get an alert from nagios. Is there any way to monitor such states with
nagios or check_tcp?

I have written some shell script to monitor such events, but also I would
like to integrate that scripts into nagios? Is that possible?

Please help me

Thanks

Error: A circular execution dependency (which could result in a deadlock) 
exists for service 'www' on host 'host2'!
---
# Service Dependency Definition for cfservd 
define servicedependency{
host_namehost1
service_description   www
dependent_host_name host2
dependent_service_description   www

}

define servicedependency{
host_namehost2
service_descriptionwww
dependent_host_name   host1
dependent_service_description  www  
execution_failure_criteriao

}

Please share your thoughts for getting the config right.

Thank you in advance,
Nair

HI,

Not very sure about the problem u are facing 
To my understanding of your, problem you can compile the source files of 
the add-ons and the plug-ins and use them for monitoring.

If this is not the issue, then send  the problem in detail !
