Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios is logging Service Check Timed Out for certain service

The story is that Nagios suddenly started returing Service Check Timed Out on a certain service, not on other services. The time that Service Check Timed Out started occuring was 23:13:48. Has anyone had such experience? Yes. I occasionally see this behaviour for certain SNMP checks when the SNMP daemon on the montitored host stops working properly. Which service is causing the problem and which ones seem to be still OK? -- Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.

Hello,
I need to monitor the servers which has ping disabled. Where and what
configuration I have to change. Please suggest.
Best regards,
Sam.
If it is a server then presumably it has some other port open? For
example if it's an email server, you may be able to use check_smtp as
your host check. It really depends what is available to you, and what
will give you a check which is closest to answering the question Is
this host 'up'?.
You will need to change the check_command directive in the host
definition for that host, and you might need to tweak the command
definition too.
For example, your new host definition might look like this:
define host{
use generic-host
host_name server1
alias server1 - email server - pings disabled
address 10.10.11.12
hostgroups +servers
parents router3
check_command check_smtp!-w 5 -c 8
}
and your check_smtp command definition might look like this:
# 'check_smtp' command definition
define command{
command_namecheck_smtp
command_line$USER1$/check_smtp -H $HOSTADDRESS$ $ARG1$
}
hth,
Jim

The story is that Nagios suddenly started returing Service Check Timed Out on a certain service, not on other services. The time that Service Check Timed Out started occuring was 23:13:48. Has anyone had such experience? Yes. It means that the check is taking longer than either the plugin timeout or nagios' master timeout. There are many reasons why this could be happening but the most common are that the remote system is slow to respond or network problems between the nagios machine and the remote system are present. It could also be caused by problems with external systems as well such as DNS. There are far too many factors to give you a specific answer. You'll need to do some digging into events around that time on your network and systems in order to discover the cause. I'd suggest starting by discovering all the things that these problem checks have in common and check each for potential cause. -- Marc -- Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.

The problem is that the rrdtool doesn't appear to keep all the data it gets. Maybe it is configured badly, but it appears to only keep limited data for the yearly graphs, so when doing a data export we only really have decent data for analysis from the past month or so. Ideally I think a solution that stores the information in a MySQL database would be optimal as the required data could be easily queried and exported in a boss-friendly format. Does anyone know of such a solution? If not, does anyone know if I have simply screwed up the Nagiosgraph install or, if not, if there is any way I can change the configuration so as to retain all data written to the .rrd files?

I'd like (and i think this is the answer for question #3): * mobile webpages; * customizable ajax/web2.0 interface; Answers: #1) the tactical overview is fine; #2) would like to see what check commands nagios is issuing (for the need of troubleshooting, issuing the same command nagios triggers is a pain) - an easier way too see configured thresholds and the full command line and output.

Re: [Nagios-users] What would you want in a replacement web interface?
No, knowing how to do "regular _expression_" (or wildcard) searches is not an extreme requirement. In fact, it makes perfect sense, and I am intimately familiar with both. That said, last time I tried that it didn't work - I'm not so stupid as to not think to try a simple wildcard :-). On the other hand, I'm running 3.0.6, as that is what is distributed with the stable version of OpenBSD. Perhaps this is something that was fixed in 3.1 or 3.2?
