[Nagios-users] Installation errors

[Martin Scullion]

Hi There

 

Am trying to install nagios 3.0.6 on a Solaris 10 box and am having
trouble with the 'make all' command

 

It generates the following error :

 

gcc -g -O2 -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I/usr/include/glib-2.0
-I/usr/lib/glib-2.0/include   -DNSCORE  -c  events.c

events.c: In function `event_execution_loop':

events.c:988: error: `WNOHANG' undeclared (first use in this function)

events.c:988: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once

events.c:988: error: for each function it appears in.)

*** Error code 1

make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `events.o'

Current working directory /var/tmp/nagios-3.0.6/base

*** Error code 1

 

Any help would be much appreciated

 

Martin

Re: [Nagios-users] OID's missing for check_snmp_cpfw.pl

[Sébastien Barbereau]

Hi,I've been running it for some time without problem. We are running some
IP710 and IP650 with up to date software.
Are you sure that the nokia snmp service is running as well as the
checkpoint one?
On the device you should be able to see two processes running : snmpd (port
161) and cpsnmpd (port 260). If the processes are running verify the output
of : snmpwalk -v2c -c SNMPCOMMUNITY FWNAMEORIP .1.3.6.1.4.1.2620.1.1.2

Did you authorize snmp from the nagios host to the host IP?

[Nagios-users] multiline plugin output

[Brandino Andreas]

Hi all,

I try to use check_snmp_int.pl plugin with multiline output. According
to documentation (
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/pluginapi.html ) additional
output is stored to $SERVICEPERFDATA$ and $LONGSERVICEOUTPUT$ macros

How can i "force" nagios to print these lines to web interface, after
$SERVICEOUTPUT$  ?


Thanks

[Nagios-users] NDOUtils and custom variables

[MAD]

Hi all,

I'm thinking to use some custom variables in services' definition. As I'm using 
NDOUtils, I wanted to see how those variables where saved in the database and I 
found two tables : customvariables and customvariablestatus.

I understand what the customvariablestatus' fields are for, but I don't 
understand what is the field 'config_type' in customvariables. Does someone 
know which values this field can take and what are their meaning?

Sorry if my question seems dumb but I couldn't find the answer in the NDOUtils 
database documentation.

Thank you

Marc-André

No, it's defined per host and service. You could use templates though  
to 'centralize' it (or assign to your existing default template if you  
have one).

[Nagios-users] Playing alert sounds in Safari

[Niall O Broin]

Is this possible at all? When I have an active alert, which should  
play a sound, I get this popup when I visit the tactical overview page:

Safari can't find the Internet plugin.

The page "Nagios" has content of MIME type "application/wav".
Because you don't have a plug-in installed for this MIME type,
this content can't be displayed.

However, I DO have such a plugin installed - Quicktime, and it plays  
wav files just nicely, and if I use Safari to get /media/hostdown.wav  
from my nagios server, it plays just nicely.

I got that file with wget and I noticed that the MIME type it was sent  
with was audio/x-wav so I edited the binary of tac.cgi to send audio/x- 
wav rather than application/wav (yes, I know, but it was quicker than  
getting the source, and building it, just to try this out) but  
although that got rid of the warning pop up, it still got me no sound.

Any ideas to make Safari (ver. 4 beta) talk to me?






Kindest regards,



Niall  O Broin

Re: [Nagios-users] NRPE

[Randal, Phil]

Yes,
 
You can do it without NRPE too.
 
Install something like NSClient++ (http://www.nsclient.org) on the Vista
host.
 
http://www.nsclient.org/nscp/wiki/NSClientListener
 
PROCSTATE is the one you want.
 
I use a command check_nt_process:
 
  $USER1$/check_nt -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -p 1248 -v PROCSTATE -d SHOWALL -l
$ARG1$
 
I use port 1248 (old nsclient port), NSClient++ defaults to port 12489.
 
Cheers,
 
Phil

Are you certain that it's not? It's a required parameter under 2.x and  
while I can't test it, I have no reason to believe that's changed with  
3.x. Nagios will refuse to start if you leave it out. Are you using  
templates and is it defined there?

Re: [Nagios-users] Can't locate Net/SNMP.pm in @INC When Running check_ifstatus

[Martin Fontanez]

Davis,

Thank you for taking the time to reply with such detail and precision.  This 
worked well and and fixed the error.   

One thing with CPAN is that for some reason when I am in cpan prompt, whatever 
I type does not get displayed.

Regards,

Martin

As root, try "perl -MCPAN -e shell" then "install Net::SNMP". You may
want to first do "install Bundle::CPAN", then "install Net::SNMP". Also
open up the test script (assuming its not a compiled binary) and check
for all the "use" lines and make sure they're installed. For example,
from another script I saw:



use strict;

use Net::SNMP;

use Getopt::Long;



So my steps were:

>sudo su -

perl -MCPAN -e shell

install Bundle::CPAN

reload cpan

reload index

install Net::SNMP

install Getopt::Long


For each, I installed prereq's where prompted...



Also, depending on your OS, you may want to update the OS first before
doing the above. For example, with CentOS, an "yum -y update" is good
practice every now and then... keeps you nice and current. But keep in
mind that anything built against a specific package may fail (last time
I did this, Cacti choked as it was built against a specific version of
a library and needed to be recompiled).



Other common perl modules to consider include DBI, DBD::mysql, etc...



Oh, and put the Net::SNMP line that you changed back... unfortunately,
the output of your RPM query is showing the SNMP programs themselves.
The script you're using is looking for the Perl module Net::SNMP.
net-snmp and Net::SNMP are two completely different things, yet often
times codependent.



Hope this helps...

I am getting this error and not certain what

Is there a standard fix for this error?

I don't use 3.x yet but I don't believe that you can. Unless the  
plugin output is written as HTML, and none are that I know of, multi- 
line output would be confusing in the web interface.

[Nagios-users] DISABLE_SVC_CHECK does not keep track of username

[shadih rahman]

All
   I am seeing that when anyone acknowledges a problem in nagios, it keeps
track of username and notes information.  However if someone execute command
like DISABLE_SVC_CHECK or  DISABLE_HOST_NOTIFICATIONS or many other commands
then nagios does not keep track of username and who initiated the command.
Is this an intended behavior or is it a bug?  Can someone please comment on
this.  Thanks

[Nagios-users] Running Windows batch files through NRPE

[Leleux, Jeremy J]

Hi All,

I'm running Nagios 3.0.6/CentOS 5.2 for my Nagios server.  Its
monitoring my Windows Servers, all 2003, I have NSClient++ on those
servers and its working fine.  My problem is that I'm trying to
centralize the configs on the NSClient++'s w/ the help of batch files.
I have setup commands to allow me run the scripts w/ the help of
check_nrpe, but they will not run.

Here is the contents of one of my batch files, nscpp_config.bat, to
update the NSClient++ config:
@echo off
xcopy
\\10.10.0.50\public\Departments\Infor~1\Scripts\nscpp_copy.bat
C:\Progra~1\NSClient++ /Y
exit
When I try to run this command from my Nagios Server, I get an "Invalid
Drive Specification Error".  And here is my config line to allow the
command in NSClient++:
cp_script=nscpp_config.bat
If someone else has done this in past, please let me know how you have
done this.

Re: [Nagios-users] Running Windows batch files through NRPE

[Onotsky, Steve x55328]

I don't think that Nagios/nscp is geared to what you want it to do.
Instead, I would suggest that a Scheduled Task might be more appropriate
(or use something like SMS to push out an update on demand/on a
schedule, if you have it in place).

Does the user running the batch file have access to those directories and
shares?  Does it work if you run it from the command line?
You may want to try first mapping the drive with net use:

net use n: \\10.10.0.50\public
xcopy n:\Departments\Infor~1\Scripts\nscpp_copy.bat C:\Progra~1\NSClient++
/Y

With net use, you can also specify an alternate username and password with
which to map the drive.

Re: [Nagios-users] Unable to open MRTG log file

On most systems, mrtg will run as its own user and nagios the same. Make 
sure that the nagios user has permissions to access the mrtg owned files...

[Nagios-users] Nagios: Monitoring WAN link status.

[Jimmyboy]

Hello Experts,

After installing Nagios 3.0.6 on Ubuntu 8.10 (VM senario), I have managed to
configure it to monitor my Windows-based machines and Route-Switch Modules
(RSMs).

I read the documentation which says that Nagios is a system and network
monitoring application. It watches hosts and services, etc. However, I was
curious to know whether it could also be configured to monitor WAN links'
status, latency, flap-detection, etc.

Can anyone throw some light on this part with how to go about if it is
possible?

Thanks,
Jim

[Nagios-users] Downtime discrepancy

[Andrew Davis]

Looking at my hosts that are scheduled for downtime, I noticed this:

ns205-19-2009 10:55:04adavisRebuilding with CentOS
05-19-2009 10:54:4305-19-2009 12:54:43Flexible0d 3h 0m 0s
49N/A Delete/Cancel This Scheduled Downtime Entry


How is it possible to have downtime scheduled from 10:54:43 to 12:54:43 
yet have a duration of 3 hours??? Something appears to be amiss.


In fact, even though it was marked as flexible and with a duration of 3 
hours, 12:54:43 just passed and the system is no longer listed as being 
under downtime, yet it should be as it was scheduled for 3 hours of 
downtime.

Yes, if your network devices support SNMP, they can report via SNMP to
Nagios, and you can monitor anything your device is willing to report via
SNMP.

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/monitoring-routers.html

However, I have a set-up identical to yours, and am currently stalled at
getting the Net-SNMP and SNMP-Utils installed.  My server's missing
something that's preventing SNMP and MRTG from working.

Re: [Nagios-users] Downtime discrepancy

[Chris Waters]

>From the docs:
 
Fixed vs. Flexible Downtime

When you schedule downtime for a host or service through the web
interface you'll be asked if the downtime is fixed or flexible. Here's
an explanation of how "fixed" and "flexible" downtime differs:

"Fixed" downtime starts and stops at the exact start and end times that
you specify when you schedule it. Okay, that was easy enough...

"Flexible" downtime is intended for times when you know that a host or
service is going to be down for X minutes (or hours), but you don't know
exactly when that'll start. When you schedule flexible downtime, Nagios
will start the scheduled downtime sometime between the start and end
times you specified. The downtime will last for as long as the duration
you specified when you scheduled the downtime. This assumes that the
host or service for which you scheduled flexible downtime either goes
down (or becomes unreachable) or goes into a non-OK state sometime
between the start and end times you specified. The time at which a host
or service transitions to a problem state determines the time at which
Nagios actually starts the downtime. The downtime will then last for the
duration you specified, even if the host or service recovers before the
downtime expires. This is done for a very good reason. As we all know,
you can think you've got a problem fixed (and restart a server) ten
times before it actually works right. Smart, eh?

Flexible means nagios expects the host to go down within the "window"
you have specified for the duration you specified.

Re: [Nagios-users] Running Windows batch files through NRPE

[Alex Burger]

You are running NSClient++ as a service which is using the SYSTEM 
account.  The SYSTEM account does not have access to network resources. 
  One solution is to create a domain user account and then change the 
NSClient++ service to use the new account.  Also make sure the account 
has access to the batch file.

As someone else mentioned it may make more sense to use a scheduled task 
but it also needs to run as a network account that has access.  You may 
want to look at psexec from Sysinternals.

Re: [Nagios-users] check frequency

[Anirudh Srinivasan]

Hi Dongsheng

I tried as you suggested by putting

Check_interval  1
retry_interval  1
max_check_attempts  3

But this is what i see on the alert history  :


[05-19-2009 13:42:35] HOST ALERT: app-engbw5;DOWN;HARD;3;FPING CRITICAL -
(loss=100% )

[05-19-2009 13:37:38] HOST ALERT: app-engbw5;DOWN;SOFT;2;FPING CRITICAL -
(loss=100% )

[05-19-2009 13:32:24] HOST ALERT: app-engbw5;DOWN;SOFT;1;FPING CRITICAL -
(loss=100% )

Again the time duration between each check is like 5 min . Its increased now
to 5 min from 3 min

I want to make it as 1 min and third attempt state as HARD and send
notification.

You could also use a simple ping check to the remote router. SNMP is 
great to check internals of a device. If your interest is whether 
something is up, simple is best. Also, since the remote router has no 
idea about latency on the WAN link, that is something only ping can tell.

Flap-detection is built into Nagios itself. It's enabled in the default 
configurations, so you usually don't have to do anything about it.

No, please check your "Scheduling Queue", view "Last Check" and "Next Check".

Please distinguish "check history" and "alert history".

Are you sure you want check max 4 times, and alter every 1 minuties ?
The your "check_interval" should be 12s, it's too short!

In 'nagios.cfg', set 'interval_length=1'; In host/service template, set:

check_interval  12
retry_interval  12
max_check_attempts  3

The the time duration between each alert(not check!) is 1 min .

 In service definition, set:

        check_interval                  1
        retry_interval                  1
        max_check_attempts              5


 In host definition, set:
        check_interval                  1
        retry_interval                  1
        max_check_attempts              5


 You can put them to the host/service template for simplify definition.
