[Nagios-users] R: R: R: R: nsclient++ and nrpe commands

[Marco Borsani]

Solved.

 

There were two problems:

-  In the command file, there was an command without absolute path
(but it is in the same folder of command file, and that folder was setted
like “script_dir” in the NSC.ini)

-  The variable “script_dir” in the NSC.ini is totally useless L

 

Now my problem is understand how to manipulate the output like I do in unix
(shell scripting), because I don’t know an equivalent command in DOS like
AWK ?!?!?

 

Regards for all suggestions , were very useful for me.

hi,

could you post your nsc.ini and bat files, please? 

sanitize as necessary (do not post passwords ;-) )

Excuse me , I did not wrote the real error message I am receiving.

 

I run from nagios server:

./check_nrpe -H  -c disk0

And receive this:

'check_openmanage.exe' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

ok, so the bat file disk0 is being executed. Try setting the full path to
check_openmanage.exe in the bat file because apparently it is not in the
path of your windows session.
 

The nsc.ini file there are all the parameters you suggested me and the
command “disk0” is defined:

disk0=scripts\Disk0.bat

If you run Disk0.bat in MSdos shell, it works correctly. 

Is has only one raw (@check_openmanage.exe -v | find "Physical Disk 0:0")

 

In the nsclientlog we read:

2009-10-05 15:22:09: error:modules\NRPEListener\NRPEListener.cpp:263: The
command (disk0) returned an invalid return code: 255


you need to return valid error levels that nagios understand: 0 is 0k, 1 is
warning, 2 is critical and 3 is unknown. Otherwise nagios does not know what
to do with them.
 

 

I always restart nsclientpp when I modified the NSC.ini file.

good, just checking ;-)

If you really want a 1 minute window then that means that you'll  
either have to check multiple times per minute (max_check_attempts>1,  
interval_length<60) or check only once and trust that as definitive  
(max_check_attempts=1, interval_length=60). You'll probably want to re- 
visit the plugin timeouts, both in nagios.cfg and any that are  
directly supported by the plugins themselves.

If you go with the multiple checks per minute path, you'll need to  
change the value of interval_length in nagios.cfg and every other  
*_interval, both in nagios.cfg and in your host/service/notification  
definitions since they are simply multiples of interval_length.

Be prepared for false-positives unless things are perfect all the  
time. I expect you'll see alerts for non service affecting things such  
as slower ssh logins on busy machines or high RTA or maybe some packet  
loss as routers get busy and de-prioritize ICMP traffic. The more  
frequently you check, the more likely you are to encounter those types  
of things.

Oops, just realized you said "host/service," and not just "host."

Here you're telling Nagios to spread stuff out over a 5-unit interval. 
If you're shooting for 1 minute, this should be 1.

5 at a time probably won't get you there in a minute. I've had good luck 
setting this to the number of hosts I have.

Ditto.

Set these much lower. I use 2.

.1 will cram your checks closer together.

Also, you may want to look at the tuning recommendations in the Nagios 
docs. It looks like you're not doing the basic recommended stuff like 
using RAM disks, etc., all of which help and are very well documented.

If you're using Nagios 3, just enable active hostchecks with a 1-minute 
check interval. With your low latencies, you'll be good to go.

Re: [Nagios-users] escalation for receiving only recovery events?

[shadih rahman]

The best solution would be service escalation or host escalation feature of
nagios.

Re: [Nagios-users] error check_snmp for UPS

[shadih rahman]

Who is the manufacturer for you Upses.  There are bunch of good Ups check
you can find in nagiosexchange website.  Most of them are written for APC
and Liebert.  The snmp for upses are well defined.  You can write quick perl
or shell script to monitor these.

Re: [Nagios-users] Using Nagios to monitor Exchange 2007 Queues, etc.. ??

Here is a great doc for monitoring windows services.  Hope this helps

Are you trying it against  Cisco router? This appears to be a Cisco
proprietary MIB and it would be evry unlikely that any other brand of
router support it.

If it's a Cisco, make sure it support the CISCO-BGP4-MIB. Otherwise, I'm
afraid you'll have to check with your vendor on how to monitor it with
SNMP and write your own script or use check_snmp to monitor it.

[Nagios-users] notify by telephone call?

[Furnish, Trever G]

Can anyone whose already done this point me in the right direction for
sending out notifications by reading the alerts into a phone call?

The hard part isn't the text-to-speech (I'm assuming I can just use
festival for that), or even a pre-recorded message.

What's proving to be the hard part for me is figuring out how to
reliably make a phone call.  We have an existing VoIP phone system,
including Cisco routers I could connect to using SIP... if I could find
a good command-line SIP calling tool.

I also don't want to create a notification method that causes Nagios to
back up on notifications.  The existing notification methods allow
Nagios to quickly hand off notifications to other daemons that ensure
reliable delivery (QuickPage, which is wonderful for sending SMS via TAP
gateways, and sendmail, which of course handles sending out
notifications by email).  But I don't want to get distracted by this --
if I could just find a good command-line
"place-a-call-and-play-some-audio-into-it" tool, I could wrap it easily
in enough scripting to make it reliable.

So far I've found notes on using vgetty (and I'm still reading through
those), and I've found notes on doing this with Asterisk (but I don't
have Asterisk and I hope it's an unneeded level of complexity).  There
are lots of graphical sip clients available, but I haven't found any
others to use from the command-line yet.

Suggestions?

Re: [Nagios-users] bgp monitoring (check_bgp_neighbors) command syntaxassistance

[Brown, Robin]

Perhaps your router does not support that mib.  Check here and see if your 
image supports it:

http://tools.cisco.com/Support/SNMP/do/BrowseOID.do?objectInput=+1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.187.1.2.4.1.1&translate=Translate&submitValue=SUBMIT&submitClicked=true

There is a link to check if your image supports the mib.

I think your syntax is ok, as it's not line 107 that its actually
failing on, it's the two OID lookup(s) on the router - it's not able to
see them via snmpwalk in the script...

The shell script itself is inserting those last two "neighbor" IP
addresses into the snmpwalk call(s) as part of the specific OID's, so it
could definitely be a typo or something - can you try to manually run
snmpwalk against the router to troubleshoot it further?

Cheers,
james

This tells me that nagios wasn't running with the configuration you  
thought it was (unless you also deleted status.dat, which may have  
settings overrides your object definitions). Seeing what was in  
objects.cache (and status.dat) might have explained the issue.

Then you should tell us this at the least. We're not mind readers and  
when you provide something that is incomplete, with no comment that  
it's known incomplete and why, we have to assume you don't know what  
you gave us. ;) IMHO, you (as in anyone reporting problems) should  
provide *all* related information for any problem regardless of what  
bits you think are needed. Usually the problem is not in what you know  
you need, but in what you don't know you need. =)

Re: [Nagios-users] notifications not being sent on host down/unreachable

[Noel Platzke]

So this is working now but I'm not sure why. I deleted the objects.cache
file and restarted and got a host down alert as soon as nagios came up.


On a whim I deleted the cache file and restarted nagios and it sent out a
host down alert. I didn't change anything else.

Re: [Nagios-users] notifications not being sent on host down/unreachable

[Noel Platzke]

I included the template because the actual host definitions only include the
server specific information. I'm not overriding anything. For example...

define host{
use standard-host
host_name   server1
hostgroups  +servers
alias   server1
address server1.domain.com
}


The same goes for contacts everything else.

I think your syntax is ok, as it's not line 107 that its actually
failing on, it's the two OID lookup(s) on the router - it's not able to
see them via snmpwalk in the script...

The shell script itself is inserting those last two "neighbor" IP
addresses into the snmpwalk call(s) as part of the specific OID's, so it
could definitely be a typo or something - can you try to manually run
snmpwalk against the router to troubleshoot it further?

I just played around with the script. Try running it again. I saw  
similar errors on the first run but subsequent runs were better (it  
creates a temp file to keep track of sends/receives). It also expects  
at least 2 minutes (and possibly 5 minutes) between runs in order to  
see sufficient messages sent/received.

Hello,

This is just a template and not a complete host definition. In fact,  
they were all just templates and missing critical pieces of  
information or may have parts that are overridden in the full  
definition. You should post the entire definition for the host,  
contact group and contact as found in objects.cache. At first glance,  
you don't specify any notification_options for the host. With  
Nagios-3, this will mean that all states will result in a notification  
but under 2.x I believe that behavior is different. I'd go ahead and  
specify the specific states to you want to receive notifications for.

[Nagios-users] notifications not being sent on host down/unreachable

[Noel Platzke]

I have a nagios setup consisting of 2 distributed servers and one master
using nsca. I'm having an issue where notifications aren't being sent for
hosts going down or becoming unreachable but I see them in that state in the
GUI and the logs. If a service check fails the notification is sent fine but
if the whole box dies I'm never seeing a host down/unreachable alert. In
fact there is no notification listed in the notification history so it seems
to be a config issue. But I've looked through all of the configs multiple
times and just can't figure this out.

My host, service and contacts are defined with the following templates:

define host{
namestandard-host
max_check_attempts  3
check_interval  15
retry_interval  5
check_command   check-host-alive
check_period24x7
notifications_enabled   1
retain_status_information   1
retain_nonstatus_information1
contactsops
notification_interval   15
notification_period 24x7
check_freshness 1
freshness_threshold 300
register0
}


define service{
namestandard-service
max_check_attempts  3
check_interval  5
retry_interval  3
check_period24x7
notification_interval   10
notification_period 24x7
notification_optionsu,c,r
contactsops
register0
check_freshness 1
freshness_threshold 300
}

define contact{

[Nagios-users] Potential solution found for SNMP crashes on Windows 2003 Dell OSMA

[Michael Ward]

Turns out both boxes were running Server Administrator 5.4.0.  Dell  
has released 5.4.0.1 to patch this problem.

I hope this will fix it.

I have no problems at all monitoring our windows. servers through SNMP.
Could you ellaborate a bit further this statement?

We have a mix of hp and fujitsu hardware and monitoring the hardware with
snmp just works under windows as under linux or esx.

Maybe we are just lucky :)

Yeah, the "nagios" part just means that the nagios user spawned "./update
500". My guess is that you have a check command defined that calls
"./update", maybe the 500 is some kind of timeout? Check your command config
file.

What is 'update 500'? That's not a normal part of nagios and something
you must have created/installed. It looks like the problem is with
that program, not nagios.

[Nagios-users] Antwort: Re: plugin for AIX6

[Howard Allison]

Don't know exactly what you want to monitor - but you could use something
like:
MEM_REAL=`vmstat | grep System | cut -d" " -f4 | cut -d"=" -f2 | sed -e
s/MB//g`
MEM_FREE=`vmstat | tail -1 | awk '{print $4}'`
MEM_FREE=`echo "$MEM_FREE * 4096" | bc`
MEM_REAL=`echo "$MEM_REAL * 1048576" | bc`

to get the mem values
and :
MEM_PCTUSED=$(bc -l << EOF
scale=2
($MEM_FREE / $MEM_REAL) * 100
EOF
)

to get percentage used...

[Nagios-users] Windows script for checking SNMP status

[Michael Ward]

Since I couldn't figure out why SNMP on Windows was crashing on some  
boxes (OSMA, Dell Servers) but not others, I munged someone's script  
to check to see if SNMP is stopped and if so, run it.

I put this is a text file called check-snmp.cmd

@echo off
setlocal
rem 
http://www.experts-exchange.com/Programming/Languages/Scripting/Shell/Batch/Q_24010267.html

set service=SNMP
set state=STOPPED



  for /F "tokens=3 delims=: " %%H in ('sc \\. query "%service%" ^|  
findstr "STATE"') do (
   if /I "%%H" == "%state%" (
echo %date%,%time%,%%H
net start snmp
   )
  )

Edit cgi.cfg.  Set
use_authentication=1
default_user_name=somename # a name that is an authorized contact for  
all hosts/services or is authorized_for_* further in cgi.cfg
authorized_for_*=somename # enable these options that you deem

Re: [Nagios-users] Lots of Nagios Processes

[Martin Melin]

Yeah, the "nagios" part just means that the nagios user spawned "./update
500". My guess is that you have a check command defined that calls
"./update", maybe the 500 is some kind of timeout? Check your command config
file.

[Nagios-users] cgi Authentication safeguard

[Alex Huth]

Hi!

I have put the nagios server behind a Webserver which is doing clientside
certification, Password authentication and a ProxPassReverse to the really
nagios server. The nagios server allows only the first webserver to contact
him. Also the firewall/DMZ restricts the acces to the nagios. That's enough
security, so i have disabled the authentication for the nagios webserver and
the cgi's. Everythings works, so far so good.
But now i can't make a reschedule for any servicecheck. How can i solve this
without reactivating the authentication?

thx

Alex

Re: [Nagios-users] bandwidth measurement

[Giorgio Zarrelli]

Hi,

the easy way is using SNMP. I just released a plugin to measure bandwidth
with SNMP v.3, crypted and authenticated:

http://www.monitoringexchange.org/cgi-bin/page.cgi?g=Detailed%2F3210.html;d=1

check_bandwidth_snmp.tgz

[Nagios-users] bandwidth measurement

[Leonardo Carneiro]

is there an easy and simple way to monitor the bandwidth use on a 
interface in a given moment, just like the 'iptraf' packet does, but 
without that fancy interface (just text output on the shell)? or do i 
have to use snmp?

tks in advance

Re: [Nagios-users] plugin for AIX6

[Brian O'Mahony]

Sorry this is so late (was on holidays), but has anyone got check_aix_ram.pl or 
check_aix_ram working remotely. 

check_aix_ram uses svmon that wont work as the nagios user, and 
check_aix_ram.pl throws parse errors.

Im seeing this on AIX6 and AIX5.3

Was that the fix for the plugin compilation? Is so I might add that to
the FAQ on nagiosplugins.org.

It would be very nice if you could post details on what you did to
install the missing dependencies (I have absolutely no knowledge of AIX...)

Thank you

What is 'update 500'? That's not a normal part of nagios and something  
you must have created/installed. It looks like the problem is with  
that program, not nagios.

[Nagios-users] Nagios 3.0 French Documentation

[Olivier JAN]

Hi list,

Just a quick note to let you know that the Nagios 3.x French  
Documentation has been released today. There is a html and pdf  
editions generated from the docbook xml version. It's far from perfect  
but the french nagios community will support this edition and  
necessary corrections will be made.
