[Nagios-users-br] Notificação via Jabber
Bom dia a todos,
Estou utilizando o Nagios vers. 2.6 e preciso utilizar o serviço de mensagem
Jabber como uma das formas de alerta.
Estou utilizando como serviço de mensageiro o script em PERL
notify_via_jabber.pl adquirido em
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/download/contrib/notifications/notify_via_jabber
O script funciona manualmente contudo ao colocar para que o script seja
executado pelo Nagios o mesmo não envia os alertas via Jabber.
Durante a analise foi ativado o programa Etherreal e verificado o existe o
envio de mensagem para o servidor contudo não recebo nada automaticamente.
Abaixo segue como está sendo enviado as mensagem via arquivo de configuração.

-Original Message- From: Christopher McAtackney [mailto:crist...@gmail.com] Sent: 25 June 2009 16:33 Results passing into the command pipe are stored. The relevant parameters are in nagios.cfg; they are external_command_buffer_slots and check_result_buffer_slots - by default these are set to 4096 (see documentation within the configuration file). Great, that's what I was hoping for. Do you have any experience of setting this buffer to much higher values? Not that I necessarily intend to, but it's always useful to know the effects of pushing the system to its limits. Routinely we have external_command_buffer_slots set to 40960 and check_result_buffer_slots set to 61440; this is because we have had problems with our SQL server (it gets very busy for other databases) which delays response to NDOUtils updates which fills up these buffers. You can see the current, high-water mark and setting for these parameters by running command nagiostats (the highest we have reached recently was about 25k buffer slots used).

[Nagios-users] weirdness in the scheduling of host checks
Greetings All, Is anyone else seeing weird things in the scheduling of checks? I don't have a good sense of what is wrong but, it's definitely not the way it was under Nagios 1.0 (or the way it should be). I've been watching the scheduling queue on our Nagios 3 box for a week or so, here's a list of what I've seen: Under Nagios 3.0.6: - host checks staying at the top of the queue for a long time (over an hour sometimes) even when they have a timeout set at 30 seconds Under Nagios 3.1.6 - host check showing up unexpectedly in the scheduling queue, this morning when I looked at the queue the top event was about 15 minutes behind the current time but things were moving along okay, when I last checked there was a host check at the top of the queue with a next check time from 4 days ago. - We had a host go down yesterday (Sunday) but we did not get alerted. When I looked at it in Nagios I noticed the host check was in an OKAY state and the 'last check' value for it was from 12 days ago (6/17/2009)! - Host checks don't seem to be getting stuck in the queue like they were under 3.0.6, at least not for as long I'm going to submit a ticket to tracker.nagios.org but would like to have more empirical evidence of the problem first, all I have so far are symptoms, no good data points (logs, errors, etc.).

[Nagios-users] check_period help?
Hi all,
I've got a service that I'm trying to monitor with different
thresholds at different times of day. To do this, I created two
timeperiods, covering 1:00am to 7:00am, and 7:00am to 1:00am (I
think), two service templates that each use these periods, and two
services that do the same check with differing thresholds, each
inheriting the different service template. But when I look at the
scheduling for these two services, it's almost opposite what I think
it should be. The 'late' service is next scheduled at 00:00 and the
'normal' service is scheduled at 1:00am. I'm running 3.0.6. The
other templates used do not change the check_period, except for the
generic-service template. Here are the definitions:
Time periods #
define timeperiod {
timeperiod_name 7a-1a_every_day

[Nagios-users] Getting Nagios to go active
I've gotten a second Nagios server setup to work as a failover for a primary server. I think I've been thorough. The secondary server is successfully receiving and processing both passive host and passive service checks. Notifications and both kinds of active checks are turned off. When I stop the Nagios process on the primary server, the secondary fails the freshness check of the primary instance check. However, nothing happens after this, and it seems that I have 2 problems. 1) Even though I have max_check_attempts set to 1 on the master server's check_nagios check, it just continues to force active checks when the freshness times out. I expect it to fail hard, and stop checking the freshness. Maybe I'm wrong, though. Maybe the expected behavior here is to get the active host check going, and then the freshness will stop complaining. 2) All of my scripts seem to be lined up. The event handler fires, and I see proper things in the nagios.cmd file. [1246294798] ENABLE_NOTIFICATIONS [1246294798] START_EXECUTING_SVC_CHECKS [1246294820] START_EXECUTING_HOST_CHECKS I know the command file is being processed because I can get the secondary server to force checks from the cgi's. However, none of these things commands ever work, whether I force them from the command line, or from the cgi's. What could be keeping these from taking effect? I've been all over this thing for a couple days now, and I think my eyes are starting to glaze over. The only thing I can think of would be to enable all of these things in the master config file, but then immediately force them off when I start up the process. Then maybe it will work to turn them back on later? That can't be right...

Ok, here's my definition in services:
define service{

service_description check_dhcp
check_command check_dhcp!/check_dhcp -s $HOSTADDRESS$

the command_line should be:

Here's my command.cfg:
define command{

In your examples from a few posts ago, you specify a *hostname*. In
your service description, an *IP address*. Does that make any difference?

Maybe?
As Andreas indicated, there is some difference between your command
line test and how you've configured nagios to check. You didn't tell
us exactly how you tested from the command line so we're left to
simply speculate (not good for you).
Based on this error you reported- CRITICAL: Received 1 DHCPOFFER(s),
0 of 1 requested servers responded, max lease time = 86400 sec., I'd
guess that you are getting a DHCP response but it's not from the
server at $HOSTADDRESS$, which you've required the response to come
from (-s), whatever that is in the matching host{} definition.
Is the slave server that you're wanting to check on the same broadcast
network as your nagios server? Is it's IP the same IP as the 'address'
parameter in that check's host defintion?

Ok, here's my definition in services:

service_description check_dhcp
check_command check_dhcp!/check_dhcp -s $HOSTADDRESS$
}
the command_line should be:

In your examples from a few posts ago, you specify a *hostname*. In
your service description, an *IP address*. Does that make any difference?

[Nagios-users] change service check timeout in Nagios
Hi, It appears that numerous people have had this issue, but most of them have it because they're doing something else wrong or have other issues. I have a check that legitimately takes longer than 10 seconds to complete, and none of the documentation or archives appear relevant. I run check_vrrp against hardware on the other side of the world. (I've suggested that I install a monitor closer to the remote equipment, but that's just not feasible right now.) Running check_vrrp by hand gets me an answer in 14-17 seconds. # /usr/bin/time -h /usr/local/libexec/nagios/check_snmp_vrrp.pl -H hostname -C community -s backup -t 20 8 vrid backup :OK 14.58s real 0.43s user 0.17s sys # When I use this plugin in Nagios, however, it errors out with: CRITICAL - Plugin timed out after 10 seconds Yes, I know it times out in 10 seconds. The plugin takes 14-17 seconds to run. The timeout appears to be within Nagios itself, as the script doesn't time itself out. Surely there's a built-in way to tell Nagios that either a particular check can take longer, or increase the 10-second timeout within Nagios itself? The service_check_timeout value kills runaway processes, which this isn't. I know increasing the timeout would impact my performance for my other apps, but I have a separate Nagios instance for these devices. If I can't change the timeout I'll write an external script that runs the program and forwards the results to Nagios as a passive check, but that seems unnecessarily cumbersome. Any suggestions? Am I missing something in the documentation? Any help appreciated, ==ml -- Michael W.

Re: [Nagios-users] RPM for Nagios 3.1.2 Fedora 9?
well my preference is to use the rpm since it can detect dependancies... as you can see I attempted to install 3.0.6 since that was the highest version of nagios I could find with an rpm file...it requires libgd.so.1.8 I did a search on that and found gd-1.8.4-11.i386.rpm but it won't install that since gd2.0 is newer :-( I don't understand why this version of nagios is requesting a library that is older than what I currently have installed - should I uninstall gd2.0...or should I use --force option of rpm? thanks!

I got it working!
I had to create a separate check command definition and specified
$USER1$/check_dhcp IP Address
Now Nagios is happy!
OK: Received 1 DHCPOFFER(s), max lease time = 86400 sec.

For comparison, here's my DHCP service definition:

use generic-service
host_name qcserver3
service_description DHCP
check_command check_dhcp!qcserver3
}
Try changing your service definition to this and see if it works:
define service{
use local-service

service_description check_dhcp
check_commandcheck_dhcp!serveip1.dev.net
}

The service_check_timeout value kills runaway processes, which this isn't. But that's what you need to change. Think of it as the maximum amount of time a plugin is allowed to run if the plugin doesn't terminate itself within a reasonable amount of time. Misbehaving plugins are just the most common reason to hit this timeout. It should be set higher than the longest expected running time for any of your plugins. I know increasing the timeout would impact my performance for my other apps, but I have a separate Nagios instance for these devices. Not necessarily. Only if your other plugins are badly behaved and don't terminate themselves in a timely manner.

Re: [Nagios-users] How often does Nagios need restarting? (Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?)
Jamie, Sorry for the very tardy response - it's been busy. Two responses to all your good comments: 1. The problems with Nagios slacking on the job were confirmed by the Nagios administrator. Permanently, he is looking to move the setup to a box with more memory (it is currently a Red Hat box). Temporarily, he talked about using cron to restart it every night. Since it's been more responsive lately, I have a feeling he has done just that. I did ask if he thought whether upgrading the NSClient would help, since we are currently using NSClient++ 0.3.1 and NSClient++ 0.3.6 was just released, but while encouraging me to try out 0.3.6, he feels memory constraints on the current box is the cause of the problem and nothing else. I didn't post any configs files because I am not the Nagios administrator and don't have access to the configs or the box itself except for what I am allowed to see for our hosts via http. Thanks for letting me know 2.9 is relatively stable and that it, in all likelihood, is not the cause of the problem. 2. Thanks for pointing out that host checks are not always performed unless a service has been detected has failing. I value the service checking, but I assumed it was also pinging the host on a regular basis and that is apparently not the case. I come from the background of using products such as Insight Manager and OpenManage which are vendor-specific solutions that have their limitations but which automatically perform pinging on a regular basis. I'll look at the documentation for information on getting that set for us. It explains my frustration as to why a server can reboot and Nagios not detect it. Thanks again for taking time.

I'll look at the documentation for information on getting that set for us. It explains my frustration as to why a server can reboot and Nagios not detect it. Word of warning - you *do not* want to enable regularly scheduled host checks under nagios-2.x. The current logic of only checking a host when a service is not OK is more than sufficient under normal circumstances. Enabling regularly scheduled checks under 2.x will only hurt your performance. While service checks can be done in parallel, host checks are done serially in that version. While a host is being checked, nagios stops *all other activity* until the host check completes; other checks, logging, notifications, everything. To illustrate, if you have 200 hosts, sending 5 pings (~5 seconds to complete), it will take 200(hosts) x 5(seconds) = 1000 seconds just to check your host status. That's over 16 minutes that nagios is only checking those hosts and none of the services on those hosts, or sending notifications, or anything else. Nagios-3.x implements parallel host checks, just like service checks, but even then regularly scheduled host checks aren't really needed or encouraged and are just a waste of resources that could be used for service checks, IMHO. Even then, unless you're checking _very_ frequently, a modern server can easily reboot in the time between checks. I'd recommend using check_snmp as a service check to look at the snmp reported uptime and alert if it's less than a reasonable interval of your normal check interval (say 5-10 minutes typically). -- Marc -- ___ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null

[Nagios-users] How to surpess notifications if ping fails.
Hello,
I have a working nagios2 installation under Ubuntu. I would like to
configure nagios so that when a host cannot be ping'd by nagios all other
services related to this server/s are stopped so I don't get a slew of
notifications for that host.
I'm thinking i want servicedepency directive in my dependecies.cfg file?
Does this sound about right?
define servicedependency{
hostgroup_name servers
service_description ping
dependent_hostgroup_nameservers
dependent_service_description *
execution_failure_criteria w,c
notification_failure_criteria w,u,c
}
Thanks,
JJ

Yes, i can. There is a host in a PENDING state named potevio_db1 with the

By the way, i have a host named potevio_app1 which configuration almost same

Differents with potevio_app1 and potevio_db1 are host_name and address only.
There is another strange phenomena.I have several hostgroups, each hostgroup
have several hosts.
But there is only three hosts in these hostgroups can get the right
state(OK),all others are PENDING.

Re: [Nagios-users] Creating custom service checks
What do you want to monitor about these services? I am monitoring Exchange in two separate ways. First, I am using the check_services_stopped plugin from the NagiosPluginsNT collection. It monitors whatever services are configured with Automatic startup, so it normally would include the Exchange services. The second thing I am doing is use the check_nt_win.exe plugin to get the values of Exchange-related performance counters (this requires NSClient++ to be installed and running). check_nt_win.exe is my own plugin, but it really is simply a Windows port of the check_nt plugin that comes with NSClient++.

Re: [Nagios-users] Creating custom service checks
Kevin, you can either monitor user services (POP3, SMTP, MAPI, IMAP, LDAP, etc) by monitoring the ports or monitor for existence in memory of processes through an SNMP agent. Windows SNMP agent, written for Windows NT 4, are broken and do not report data accurately. A good alternative is SNMP Informant, which at least used to have a free version. I hear Net-snmp now has a Windows version as well which might work. Path of least resistance is to monitor (service) ports which do not require an agent to be installed, which is likely what you want anyway.
