Re: [Nagios-users-br] Ndoutils e problemas de performance

2009-06-24 Thread Marcel
Como já disse antes. Quando a escala for gigantesca, essas soluções
completas out-of-the-box não atendem.

Eu administrava Nagios + Cacti com mais de 20k services, 5k hosts, 50k rrds.


Daí cansei da vida de especialista nessas ferramentas pra trabalhar com
outros aspectos da administração de sistemas *nix.

Mas posso adiantar que enquanto a escala aumenta lineramente, a
flexibilidade de escalabilidade do nagios não se encontra nesses outros
monitores baseados em nagios.

 O negocio eh ir para um opsview, op5, icinga, zabbix, pandora, zenoss, etc.
 Nagios ultimamente nao tem evolido tanto quanto deveria. A tranqueira e
 mudar todo o ambiente ja montado, alem dos 4000 services, tenho alguns
 scripts feitos em casa, tem uns que ateh chamam cobol.
 Alguem esta utilizando o icinga em produçao? ta valendo a pena?

  o ndoutils é beta há uns 4 anos. ele não vai ser atualizado enquanto
  existirem empresas pagando o Ethan para não fazê-lo. Essas empresas,
  preferem ter seus produtos baseados no nagios vendidos do que retornarem
 os
  patches para a comunidade.
 
  por isso que forkaram o nagios (eu acho).
 
  assim, o ndo2fs é não é blocante ao nagios porque ele não espera retorno
 do
  filesystem indicando que o arquivo foi gravado. Mas o design do NEB é
  blocante sim, ele precisa que o mod retorne para a continuidade da
 execução
  do nagios. por isso que se o banco atrasa o mod atrasa e o nagios atrasa.
  Por ser um arquivo, não tem que esperar retorno. Então é rápido mesmo.

   Cristiano e Marcel,
  
   Achei a soluçao para o problema. O ambiente comum eh assim:
  
   nagios - ndo2db (- mysql) - nagvis
  
   Instalei o ndo2fs no meio do caminho, ficando assim:
  
   nagios - ndo2fs - ndo2db (- mysql) - nagvis
  
   O ndo2fs nao eh bloqueante e dessa forma o nagios nao fica lento. Nos
  meus
   testes com o ndo2fs o nagios ficou 5x mais rapido.
   Com o nagvis 1.4 tambem eh possivel acessar o ndo2fs diretamente e deve
  ser
   mais rapido ainda, mas nao testei.
  
   Meu sentimento eh que o ndo2db foi muito mal feito, ainda bem que ja
  estao
   criando e usando alternativas :(

Eu acho que algum dos patches do nagios, disponibilizados pelo

opsview, deve resolver o problema:

amigos, o ndo2db + ndomod são blocantes ao nagios (o nagios espera o
retorno
do mod, e se o banco demora, o mod demora e o nagios demora), tentem
desacoplar o input ao banco de dados. sei que pode ser feito, mas
   ninguém
diz como. ;)
   
2009/5/12 Leonardo Neves leonardo.ne...@gmail.com
   
 Cristiano,

 Tenho um ambiente bem parecido, atualmente sao 4300 services e os
   mesmos
 problemas de performance acontecem com o ndoutil. Pelo que li, ele
 realmente
 eh sequencial. Quando eh necessario um reload o nagios ainda tem
 que
 atualizar todos os dados no mysql antes do nagvis ficar
 disponivel.
 Pelo jeito a solucao eh esperar uma alternativa ao ndoutil ou uma
correçao
 do mesmo.

 A unica coisa que fiz e que voce nao fez ainda eh agendar
 manutencao
diaria
 no bd:
 db=nagios
 echo USE $db; DELETE FROM nagios_servicechecks WHERE start_time
 =
(NOW()
 -
 INTERVAL 1 DAY) | mysql $MYSQL_LOGIN /dev/null
 echo USE $db; DELETE FROM nagios_hostchecks WHERE start_time =
   (NOW()
-
 INTERVAL 1 DAY) | mysql $MYSQL_LOGIN /dev/null

 for db in $(echo SHOW DATABASES; | mysql $MYSQL_LOGIN | grep -v
 -e
 Database -e information_schema -e test)
 do
TABLES=$(echo USE $db; SHOW TABLES; | mysql $MYSQL_LOGIN
 |
 grep
 -v Tables_in_)
echo Switching to database $db
for table in $TABLES
do
echo -n  * Optimizing table $table ... 
echo USE $db; OPTIMIZE TABLE $table | mysql
$MYSQL_LOGIN
 /dev/null
echo done.
done
 done

 As tabelas nagios_servicechecks e nagios_hostchecks sao apenas de
historico
 e os dados antigos podem ser deletados ja que os logs ja tem a
informacao.

 Se voce teve algum progresso, favor nos reportar.

 Bom dia povo, tudo bem?

 O Nagios já está implantado onde trabalho, e agora irei começar a
 desenvolver alguns eventhandlers para o mesmo.
 Alguém de vocês tem algum material, além da própria documentação do
 nagios, para me indicar?
 Quero fazer uns testes simples, do tipo:
 Servidor X caiu, e um script qualquer seja executado no servidor do Nagios.
 Tenho muito material pra estudo mas não consegui entender como o nagios
 joga os parâmetros de estado dos serviços/hosts para o eventhandler em
 questão.
 Meu script funciona corretamente se eu executa-lo na mão.

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios 3.1.1 compile fails on Centos-3

2009-06-24 Thread Tom DE BLENDE (DHL GBS)
OK, for future reference. If anyone has problems compiling Nagios 3.1.x
on Centos 3 (I know, I know, it's ancient, but it still works, and it is
still supported), here is what to do. 
 
Download the latest tarball of gd at http://www.libgd.org/Downloads and
install it to a location like /opt:
 
./configure --prefix=/opt 
 
Then compile Nagios pointing to that location:
 
./configure --with-gd-lib=/opt/lib --with-gd-inc=/opt/include
 
This avoids having to remove the old version of gd, which will bring you
dependency hell.
 
Kind regards,
Tom

Small addendum. It did compile without problems, but I got an internal

Apache couldn't find the new lib. Therefore create a symlink:

Re: [Nagios-users] - NRPE 2.12 ./configure error on solaris 9

2009-06-24 Thread Guy Waugh
So, you managed to compile NRPE on the Solaris 9 host? You've installed the
NRPE daemon on the host that the Nagios host is going to monitor with the
check_nrpe plugin? Are you running the daemon out of xinetd or standalone?
Does 'netstat -an' on the monitored host show that something is listening on
port 5666? What syntax are you using on the Nagios host to use the
check_nrpe plugin? Does the NRPE daemon configuration allow connections from
the Nagios host?

Also, what exactly do you mean when you say that check_nrpe is working fine
locally?

Questions, questions...

Regards,
Guy.

 Hello,

 I recently faced this problem, but I ended up installing NRPE from
 blastwave (http://www.blastwave.org/howto.html), and it's working well.

 If you want to persevere with compiling NRPE, are there SSL libraries in
 /usr/sfw/lib? What does config.log say? Are there any other SSL installs on
 the system, e.g. in /usr/local/ssl, /usr/local etc.?

Can you telnet from the Nagios server to port 5666 on the host with the NRPE

  I checked all the configuration and found that the openssl package

Re: [Nagios-users] Error while configuring NRPE on solaris

2009-06-24 Thread Ayotunde Itayemi
Hi, came across this just now while browsing my NAGIOS mail folder.

 

From my notes on installing NAGIOS on Solaris 10:

If getting SSL handshake error from nrpe, it may be that you don't have
the SUN Solaris crypto packages SUNWcrman, SUNWcryr and SUNWcry
installed. Install them in the order: SUNWcrman, SUNWcryr, and SUNWcry

 

Note: they are in the Solaris_10/Product subdirectory of the Solaris 10
DVD

# pkgadd -d . SUNWcrman SUNWcry SUNWcryr

 

 

For the other error with the svc:/network/nrpe/tcp, I would suggest
you delete the SMF profile for NRPE and recreate it following the
instructions by Stephan Windmueller
mailto:stephan.windmuel...@cs.uni-dortmund.de  at
http://ls5-www.cs.uni-dortmund.de/~windmueller/nagios-solaris10.html.
You don't need the whole thing, just the Integrating Nagios into SMF
section. Look out for the paths and modify to match your install.

This mail is from a Gimper

Re: [Nagios-users] Error while configuring NRPE on solaris

 






fyi

I have been using nagios and nrpe 9-10 years now; sparc and x86, started
back with solaris 7
and now soalris 10, zero error mix solaris, aix, hpux, linux.
The server has always been Solaris (sparc or x86), use
inetd/xinetd/deamon mode
again zero error

The one 'problem' i have seen people complain about is ssl and nrpe,
read the manual and it should pretty
clear what todo, 99.9% is almost the use not having doing some RTFM
thingy :)
The other one is tcp-wrapper and nrpe, nrpe has a access control
buildt-in
so I never understood one would need to use tcp-wrapper :)

[Nagios-users] SMS Foxbox

2009-06-24 Thread Martyn
Does anybody know where I can purchase one of these in the UK at all?

Also what would be the next level up for an SMS gateway, is there a server
version around

Cheers

Please go through this doc which i have written when i was installaing

Re: [Nagios-users] Error while configuring NRPE on solaris






Hi, came across this just now while browsing my NAGIOS mail folder.
 
From my notes on installing NAGIOS on Solaris 10:
If getting SSL handshake error from nrpe, it may be that you don’t have 
the SUN Solaris crypto packages SUNWcrman, SUNWcryr and SUNWcry installed. 
Install them in the order: SUNWcrman, SUNWcryr, and SUNWcry
 
Note: they are in the Solaris_10/Product subdirectory of the Solaris 10 
DVD
# pkgadd -d . SUNWcrman SUNWcry SUNWcryr
 
 
For the other error with the “svc:/network/nrpe/tcp“, I would suggest you 
delete the SMF profile for NRPE and recreate it following the instructions 
by Stephan Windmueller at 
http://ls5-www.cs.uni-dortmund.de/~windmueller/nagios-solaris10.html. You 
don’t need the whole thing, just the “Integrating Nagios into SMF” 
section. Look out for the paths and modify to match your install.
 
Regards,
This mail is from a Gimper

Per my previous email... I had the EXACT same issue and went to 
check_by_ssh for my Solaris hosts... I'm thinking there must be some magic 
step we're missing that isn't into the current oh yeah... if you have 
Solaris then do this knowledge pool...

Re: [Nagios-users] Error while configuring NRPE on solaris
 








fyi

I have been using nagios and nrpe 9-10 years now; sparc and x86, started 
back with solaris 7
and now soalris 10, zero error mix solaris, aix, hpux, linux.
The server has always been Solaris (sparc or x86), use inetd/xinetd/deamon 
mode
again zero error

The one 'problem' i have seen people complain about is ssl and nrpe, read 
the manual and it should pretty
clear what todo, 99.9% is almost the use not having doing some RTFM thingy 
:)
The other one is tcp-wrapper and nrpe, nrpe has a access control buildt-in
so I never understood one would need to use tcp-wrapper :)

 I'm just guessing, but do you have a home directory for the nagios user 
 (with owner and group set to nagios)?
 The chdir error might come from this.

 Tore,

 Can you send the configuration for the host and service too? Can you
 also send the check_nrpe_parameters command definition.

 On the command line, what works?

 Also, you said a previous version of Nagios worked with this
 definition - which version of Nagios was that?

  for me is what escape char do i use in custom macros?

 Anyone experience with any of these, which one would you suggest to go with? 
 My main deciding factor is speed, performance, and ease of 
 use/customization-configuration.

 Thanks.

   
 I tried the ones you mention, as well as nagiosadmin.  I have finally
 settled on nagiosQL - I found it to be the most stable and feature rich,
 your mileage may vary.

Same here. Moreover the categorization feature with the configuring options are 
awsome. Saves filtering overload.

I would start grepping in /etc/nagios3 for check_dns (you can grep

something like this, then:

# cd /etc/nagios3

See what you get, somewhere you have a duplicate command in your configuration.

I want to see all unhandled service problems and all unhandled host problems

I thought, this URL would do it:

But it doesn't. It shows nothing instead of the down hosts and services I 
have.

Any ideas ?

[Nagios-users] packaged but not installed

2009-06-24 Thread Weiner, Michael
Trying to build a 3.1.2 RPM using the SPEC file included with the latest
nagios tarball, and I keep running into the following errors:

 

RPM build errors:

File not found by glob: /var/tmp/nagios-buildroot/usr/share/nagios/*

Installed (but unpackaged) file(s) found:

 

And the failure RPM is complaining about is correct, when I cd to
/var/tmp/nagios-buildroot/usr/share there is no nagios directory with
the listed files that are unpackaged. In going through the SPEC file, I
cannot gleam anything that indicates where the specific problem is. Has
anyone else run into this? And has anyone been able to address it, and
correct the SPEC file?

 

Thanks in advance

2009-06-24 Thread Sascha . Runschke
  I've just installed nagios by this guide 
 http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/quickstart-ubuntu.html, but my 
 /var/www/ is empty, and so I can't see anything when I point my browser 
 to http://localhost/nagios. Am I missing a step somewhere? Do I need to 
 additionally configure something else, too?

Did you follow point 5) in the guide?
Nagios installs its html/cgi files into /usr/local/nagios/share.
make install-webconf copies a nagios.cfg file into
/etc/httpd/httpd.conf, if I am not mistaken. A reload
of apache should load that config. As far as I can remember,
debian/ubuntu does not have a /etc/httpd, but a /etc/apache2
directory. Please doublecheck if the apache configfile for
nagios has been created and reload the apache2 server
if you fixed the problem.

Sascha

Hi
 
I’m trying to install nrpe-2.12 on the nagios server and I receive this message 
:
./configure
[…]
checking for SSL headers... SSL headers found in /usr/local/ssl
checking for SSL libraries... configure: error: Cannot find ssl libraries
 
The openssl’s version is : openssl-0.9.8h-30.11 and there’s not openssl.devel 
package available… on the other hand the version nrpe-2.8 is running !
 
On some forums, I’ve read that I could install this patch (see attach file).
 
 
How could I run this patch?
Which version is better to use: nrpe-2.8 or nrpe-2.12?
 
Thanks

Re: [Nagios-users] Escaping broke i 3.1.1 ?

2009-06-24 Thread Mathew Walker

I think you may need to escape the backslash itself with another backslash ... 
vaguely recall having to do that myself in some checks when passing values that 
had a backslash in it.

Command line:

The service definition:
define service {

use standard-service-1

# Service spesific

It worked on Nagios 3.0.6. I've tried almost any combination of escaping the

Tore,

Can you send the configuration for the host and service too? Can you
also send the check_nrpe_parameters command definition.

On the command line, what works?

Also, you said a previous version of Nagios worked with this
definition - which version of Nagios was that?

Re: [Nagios-users] Problem in Preflight Check with commands.cfg

2009-06-24 Thread Kaplan, Andrew H.
I went ahead and copied the nagios directory from our original server to the new
one.
Once that was done, I did the upgrade to version 3.1.2 of nagios. The main page
of the 
application appears without a problem. However, whenever I try to go to any one
of the 
links from the main page, an error message similar to the one below appears
on-screen:

Not Found
The requested URL /nagios/cgi-bin/status.cgi was not found on this server. 


I noticed that after I inserted the snippets from the nagios.conf file into the 
httpd.conf file, and subsequently restarted the Apache server, the following
errors 
appeared on-screen:

Starting httpd: The ScriptAlias directive in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf at line
566 
will probably never match because it overlaps an earlier ScriptAlias.
[warn] The Alias directive in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf at line 583 will
probably never 
match because it overlaps an earlier Alias.

I have enclosed a copy of the httpd.conf file in its present version. I am at a
loss
as to why the error message is occurring, and I would really appreciate help on
this.

I would start grepping in /etc/nagios3 for check_dns (you can grep

something like this, then:

# cd /etc/nagios3

See what you get, somewhere you have a duplicate command in your configuration.

Hello everyone,

I have nagios implemented inhouse which monitors most of the unix, windows 
servers as well as routers and switches.
Is there any way that I can generate/convert reports into CSV, PDF, DOC or 
such formats ?
Can I generate reports for CPU Utilization, Memory Utilization, Disk 
Utilization, Ping Availability etc.

Thanks in advance.

I think that is a bit overreacting. ndoutils is a database client. 
Databases need management and tuning to get you good performance - 
that's just routine, regardless of the brand you are using: mysql, SQL 
Server, Oracle, Postgres,  No amount of work or polishing will 
change that. There's a reason DBAs are highly valued professionals.

For that matter, my database would have had this problem regardless of 
ndoutils. It's just that ndoutils writes a lot more to the database than 
my other applications (by nature, not ndoutils' fault).

By the way, the tuning I suggested seems to have done the trick. It's 
been running for more than a week without a hitch, and without the 
increase in disk space I had observed before.

Thanks Kevin. Point taken.


 Databases need management and tuning to get you good performance -
 that's just routine, regardless of the brand you are using: mysql, SQL
 Server, Oracle, Postgres, 


But the way nagios natively stores data seems to be pretty robust though.
Nagios has scaled excellently right out of the box. From all these
discussions it seems that the problems arise when I try to hook up ndoutils
etc. in there. Maybe I am wrong!


No amount of work or polishing will
change that. There's a reason DBAs are highly valued professionals.

I feel that's the crux though. If each native nagios install neeed a skilled
DBA to tune it till it worked I doubt it'd have been so successful.
