You don't get asked for a password due to the Allow of your IP address.

What does the directory list?  Is there an index.something file?

If so, you probably don't have the index.something listed in your
DirectoryIndexes statement.  You may need to install PHP and configure
Apache to use it.

Apologies for replying to myself...


Forgot to mention: When I get the directory listing, there is no auth
taking place - I don't get asked for a username or password.

So, after doing a little RTFM, I found that adding

 Allow from 192.168.8.0/24
 Allow from 192.168.24.0/24

to the Directory stanza gets me the directory listing when browsing
http://loki.example.com - but not the web interface I expect. So, I've
made progress, but I'm not there yet.

Obviously, I've got to learn the barest fundamentals of apache.

Help still appreciated.

Just so you know, the only things I modifed in the default httpd.conf
were the following  parameters:

 Listen is now 'Listen 192.168.8.20:80'
 ServerAdmin is now 'ServerAdmin ift...@example.com
 ServerName is now 'ServerName loki.example.com:80'

The page does indeed ask for auth when configured with the stanzas I listed.

I've been examining /var/log/httpd-error.log, and found the following,
with the configuration I first listed:

 [client 192.168.8.20] Directory index forbidden by Options
directive: /usr/local/www/nagios/

Following your suggestion, I have removed those stanzas, and replaced
them with the ones I found in
/usr/ports/net-mgmt/nagios/work/pkg-message, and the results are
slightly different. Namely, I get a 404 message saying

 The requested URL /nagios was not found on this server.

and /var/log/httpd-error.log says

 [error] [client 192.168.8.20] File does not exist:
/usr/local/www/apache22/data/nagios

If I then add

 Alias /nagios /usr/local/www/nagios/

to the end of httpd.conf, I again get an auth prompt in lynx, and
again I get the error in httpd-error.log:

 [client 192.168.8.20] Directory index forbidden by Options
directive: /usr/local/www/nagios/


So, I'm led to believe that I'm making a bonehead error in httpd.conf,
but I can't figure it out.

[Nagios-users] Overloaded master

[Mike Lindsey]

What kind of options does one have, if your master nagios server is 
getting overloaded?

I have half a dozen slaves doing polling, submitting passive check 
results back via send_nsca.  The master does no active polling, just 
event processing, notifications, and web ui.

Under normal circumstances, it works alright.  But after a restart it 
can take up to half an hour before the master catches up; and if there 
are a lot of events, the act of sending out notifications can cause it 
to fall behind.

I'm pre-caching my object file, I'm skipping circular dependency checks, 
and I've gotten a notification cycle down to 9 seconds.  I tried 
modifying nagios to fork before notifications, but that failed pretty 
spectacularly; so that 9 seconds is a time where 900 or so passive check 
submissions block until the notifications are done.

Are there any options for running a dual-master setup, or other ways to 
spread the load across multiple machines?

Has anyone patched nsca to submit check results into the checkresults 
directory, instead of via the nagios.cmd pipe?  What kind of improvement 
can one expect from that?

Any other advice?

Rather than guessing, you might want to take a look at what Apache
thinks is wrong:

Access the page and then:

sudo tail /var/log/httpd-error.log

It should pretty much tell you what is wrong.

Is lynx asking you for a username and password?

Is there some reason you didn't follow exactly the instructions
suggested by the pkg-message for the nagios port with regard to the
Apache configuration?  I don't see anything particularly wrong with your
config, but it may be needlessly over complex.  

I believe in getting things working according how the port maintainer
suggests. The port maintainers tend to do a good job of handing you a
good basic configuration which works.

Once that works, I make the changes needed for my site one step at a
time, testing each change individually.

better stop reading this and figure out your
issue on your own (by reading the apt docs...hint...hint)


What OS/version is this?

-
If the OS is Debian Lenny (This may/may not work in Ubuntu):
-

Fist find which nagios packages are installed. Install apt-show-versions.  I 
recommend using aptitude has it has greater
package dependency handling abilities and saftey guards.


[15:27:28 r...@jenna:~]# aptitude install apt-show-versions


Second, invoke apt-show-versions and parse the output using grep.

[15:29:28 r...@jenna:~]# apt-show-versions  | grep nagios
nagios-images/lenny uptodate 0.4
nagios-nrpe-plugin/lenny uptodate 2.12-1
nagios-plugins/lenny uptodate 1.4.12-5
nagios-plugins-basic/lenny uptodate 1.4.12-5
nagios-plugins-standard/lenny uptodate 1.4.12-5
nagios3/lenny uptodate 3.0.6-4~lenny2
nagios3-common/lenny uptodate 3.0.6-4~lenny2
nagios3-doc/lenny uptodate 3.0.6-4~lenny2
[15:29:33 r...@jenna:~]#


The first string is the package name to use as an argument to `aptitude remove 
--purge`.  I recommend you start from scratch
and remove ALL nagios packages to help quell confusion.

If I wanted to only remove the nagios core package(s) (and purge configuration 
files) I would invoke aptitude like this:

[15:29:33 r...@jenna:~]# aptitude remove --purge nagios3 nagios3-common

If I wanted to save the configuration files, I would omit the --purge switch.

If, you are like me and are short tempered, you can invoke aptitude with more 
than one task. Such as the following.

[15:29:33 r...@jenna:~]# aptitude remove --purge nagios3 nagios3-common nagios2+

This command will remove (and purge) nagios3 and nagios3-common. Then it will 
install nagios2 thuns accomplishing a
downgrade.  Obviously, this command isn't what you want, but I decided to show 
it for informational purposes.



hope this helps.

[Nagios-users] n00b trying to set up on freebsd

[Kurt Buff]

I'm trying to install nagios on freebsd, and can't get to the point of
getting lynx on the host to talk to http://192.168.8.20/nagios - I get
a 403 "You don't have permission to access /nagios/ on this server."

I'm beating my brains out on this one, and don't know what I'm doing
wrong. I'm sure it's something really simple I'm overlooking, because
just browsing http://192.168.8.20 gets a response. Unfortunately there
isn't a quick install guide for freebsd, so I'm having to do some
translation of the docs.

Any help much appreciated.

More info:

I've created /usr/local/etc/nagios/htpasswd.users, as noted in the
stanzas below.

I've tried www:www and root:wheel and www:nagios as permissions on
/usr/local/www/nagios, with the same result.

I've added the following stanzas to the end of httpd.conf:

--begin httpd.conf snippet--
Include etc/apache22/Includes/*.conf

ScriptAlias /nagios/cgi-bin "/usr/local/www/nagios/cgi-bin"


   Options ExecCGI
   AllowOverride None
   Order allow,deny
   Allow from all
   AuthName "Nagios Access"
   AuthType Basic
   AuthUserFile /usr/local/etc/nagios/htpasswd.users
   Require valid-user


Alias /nagios "/usr/local/www/nagios"


   Options None
   AllowOverride None
   Order allow,deny
   Allow from all
   AuthName "Nagios Access"
   AuthType Basic
   AuthUserFile /usr/local/etc/nagios/htpasswd.users
   Require valid-user

--end httpd.conf snippet--

Re: [Nagios-users] Problem with check_by_ssh

[Matt Simmons]

Are you able to ssh to the remote machine as the remote user? I've
been bitten by not having the remote host in my nagios user's
known_hosts file, and my scripts get prompted, and for some reason
that stops me from obtaining statistics ;-)

Problem solved:

The key of the nagios user that was put into the authorized_keys file on
the remote server was restricted to a forced command - which obviously cut
of the parameters. *damned*

[Nagios-users] Problem with check_by_ssh

[Mario Rimann]

Hi there

We're experiencing an issue on a new setup where check_by_ssh should run a
script on a foreign host with two parameters and handle the response.
Executing the script on the remote server works - but the parameters don't
get transmitted to the remote server. Afther fiddling around with the
service and the command definition, I started to run the command on the
shell to see what happens:

If I run it locally as root, all works out:
[r...@monitoring ~]# /path/to/libexec/check_by_ssh -l root -H
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -v -C "/root/bin/checkSomeThing.sh 300 500"

Running the same stuff as the nagios user fails (script get's called, but
doesn't get the parameters)
[nag...@monitoring ~]$  /path/to/libexec/check_by_ssh -l root -H
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -v -C "/root/bin/checkSomeThing.sh 300 500"

I already checked /etc/passwd - but besides the user's names, user-id,
group-id and the home directory path all looks the same - both have
/bin/bash as their logon shell.

Any hint?

Cheers,
Mario

If you add a '-v' flag to your check_http test below,or check your server logs, 
you'll see why you're getting the 400 back.

I'm quite sure this should be "/xml.aspx?account_code..."

I run routinely a somewhat old version of nrpe on debian stable
servers withouth any problem at all either. I use the debian package
on them. The nagios server is always up to date, its plugins also.

The OP should start looking at his/her logs on the nrpe server to see
what is going on.

[Nagios-users] check_http and xml

[Assaf Flatto]

Hello

I am trying to verify the working of a web service which output is a xml 
content .

I thought that using the check_http -s or -e will help me do the 
verifications by searching for a string in the xml however when trying 
the test , the result comes back as a 404 ( classified info changed to 
XXX ).

 ./check_http -H some.service.con -s "xml" -u 
"xml.aspx?account_code=XXX&license_code=XXX&action=lookup&postcode=XX"

HTTP CRITICAL: HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request - string not found - 163 bytes 
in 0.013 second response time |time=0.013409s;;;0.00 size=163B;;;0

the output of curling (curl -D - $URL ) the page gives this :

Does anyone have ideas on how to get xml content check ?
I looked at the nagiosexchange but did not find anything ( could be i 
was looking in the wrong place/context) .

Thanks
