Hi, Is it possible to exclude process(es) in check_procs plugin? ex. I have 3 processes aaa aaa_monitor tail -f aaa_monitor.log then I monitor it in check_procs plugin check_procs -c 2:2 -a aaa in this case it will give me critical alert since it will detect the 3 processes, and the important process to monitor is only aaa and aaa_monitor, i want to exclude aaa_monitor.log -- Come build with us!

I removed it completely and replaced the functionality with the '--only' option.

Re: [Nagios-users] plugin information
I pose this question in the past but I apologize for the same question again. However I saw some discussion on the list about check_mk. I am using nrpe now to monitor remote host. Do you think move to check_mk is the right action to take? Architecturally it sounds appealing, although I did not delve into the code yet. Can someone please advise on this.

[Nagios-users] Monitoring Active Directory
Hey folks, I just started a new job, and my immediate task is to build a new Nagios system for them. I love my new job... :) They would like to monitor Active Directory OUs, so that Nagios alerts if any of a certain group of OUs are moved/renamed/deleted. Apparently, this happens every so often due to the number of admins that need rights to the AD structure. So. I checked on the exchange site and did some googling, but have not found any community plugins that will allow me to specify an OU and alert if it's not present. Anyone have something in their toolbox for this? Thanks!

Affected are all Nagios versions = 3.1.0. I could reproduce it here: if the patch above is backed out, the scheduling behaves correctly. I've managed to get a libtap test case with the failure now. As you correctly say, removing the t-tm_isdst=-1 in utils.c fixes it. However, the fact it works is lucky. The check is that the scheduled time is between a date_range_start and a date_range_end. This date_range_end is based on the timeperiod definitions. However, an end point of 00:00 is calculated as 24*60*60. Obviously, this is wrong on the day that the clocks go back as there are 25 hours in that day. So removing tm_isdst gets the calculation for the epoch time wrong, but that luckily works because the time falls within the 24 hour period. I've applied the patch to remove that single tm_isdst. Tests are also added now, for this specific issue. Long term, I think it is correct that the isdst flag be set, but there are other problems that are lurking in the code, such as the calculation for the next appropriate time. Any comments?

[Nagios-users] Nagios list of devices/IP addresses
Hi everyone, I have a simple script that runs every hour and dumps the current hostnames into a MySQL table (to reconcile with our asset database). cat /usr/local/Nagios/var/objects.cache | grep -i host_name | cut -f 3 | sort | uniq $HOSTLIST cat $HOSTLIST |while true do read LINE || break echo INSERT INTO $SQLTBL VALUES ('$LINE');\ |mysql -u$SQLUSER -p$SQLPASS $SQLDB done; exit 0 As is always the case in IT now we want to extend this and insert the IP addresses into this table (so we can build a DNS zone with our Nagios hosts). Does anyone know a way I can easily grab the IP address of a given hostname? Or else an easier way to get all the hostnames/IPs? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Funny you mention this; I just had the same problem. I'm looking at my hosts and of 85 of them, 82 was last checked about 11pm Sunday and the next scheduled check is 11pm Monday (about 90 min from now). I also have a number of services that are not scheduled to be checked again until 11pm. Most host and service checks are 5 min; some are 15/60 min. I'm not using NagioSQL.

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios stopped checking most of my services!
Well, so far 3 of us with the same problem on the same day. I have to believe it is daylight savings time related. My fix is to go click on each service one by one and reschedule. Then they start checking normally again. I wonder if there is anyway to force an automatic reschedule of all services and hosts for next year when this happens again?

I don't have authentication set up so didn't have that option. :P I wonder if there is anyway to force an automatic reschedule of all services and hosts for next year when this happens again?

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios stopped checking most of my services!
Was your nagios interface still showing whatever the service status was from the last time it ran the checks as though they were current? I just joined this list over the same problem with 3.2.0. Nagios was showing all green (got 95 services across 12 hosts), then when I went to demo it to my boss who just got back from vacation, I killed a box, and was surprised to see Nagios continue showing green. When I looked in detail I saw that the checks had actually not been running in days... I restarted Nagios a number of times to no avail. I finally echoed a force check into the nagios.cmd file for a host, and got a lot of messages about how the services seemed orphaned. I do have the check for orphans config option enabled (99% of my nagios.cfg is default). I was finally able to get Nagios fixed by stopping it, removing retention.dat, and starting it again. But I don't really want to disable retention unless I have to... I was thinking this might have something to do with my failover setup (though I don't see why). I have two boxes in a Heartbeat+DRBD configuration, with Nagios (and all it's configuration, /var files, etc.) on the DRBD partition. It /seems/ to failover just fine. After seeing this, I tested failing over back and forth about a dozen times and Nagios did not seem to get hung up in the same way, so I don't understand what caused this. Maybe we have the same problem? On Nov 2, 2009, at 9:08 PM, Les Fenison wrote: I had nagios working great. Checking 6 hosts and about 85 services.

This is much more important in distributed environments, but can be helpful at times like these. We're pulling a little over 600 checks per minute total from two distributed nodes, and I have a simple (hackish) perl script that scans through the log file looking for 'EXTERNAL COMMAND' in the last 1, 5 and 15 minutes. It outputs perfdata, so pnp4nagios picks it up, and I have the warning and critical thresholds set ptetty low. That script is setup as a check command against the front end nodes. I even have pretty graphs now that tell me how many checks I'm doing on average, and how often someone bumps the queue repeatedly force- rechecking a host. -- Breandan Dezendorf brean...@dezendorf.com bwdez...@gmail.com check_nagios_external_checks Description: Binary data -- Come build with us!

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios stopped checking most of my services!
I guess I'm another me too. We use Nagios 3.0.6, but I had just setup an upgrade to 3.2.0. From what I could see, my distributed nodes had been sending data just fine for 45 minutes or so. When I double-checked the performance graphs just before retiring for the night I saw no data coming in. When I traced this back to the distributed nodes, their scheduling queue showed no checks scheduled until well into the next day. We have some checks that run as frequently as every minute. I assumed this was a weird bug with 3.2.0, panicked and went back to 3.0.6 a little after midnight and things have been fine ever since. I was going to spend more time observing 3.2.0 in a more contained environment to see if this was normal behavior. My timing (checks stopping around 11pm Sunday night) sounds the same so perhaps it's not just my imagination. One thing that bothered me a bit was that I didn't see messages in the central servers indicating that it was marking service checks as stale and checking automatically. I saw no stale messages in the log and it should have been well past the freshness thresholds of most checks. As I say, it was late and I decided to roll back before I investigated. I've got thousands of service checks so forcing rescheduling wouldn't work for me.

Well, so far 3 of us with the same problem on the same day. I have to believe it is daylight savings time related. My fix is to go click on each service one by one and reschedule. Then they start checking normally again. I wonder if there is anyway to force an automatic reschedule of all services and hosts for next year when this happens again?

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios stopped checking most of my services!
This is a confirmed bug in 3.2.0. We Europeans noticed this last week when we switched from DST. Start of thread on the problem: http://www.mail-archive.com/nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg29695.html There are a bunch of suggestions there on how to get your checks scheduled sanely again without losing acknowledgements etc. Regards, Martin Melin On Tue, Nov 3, 2009 at 5:03 AM, Frost, Mark {PBG} mark.fro...@pepsi.comwrote: I guess I'm another me too.
