[Nagios-users] notifications for a passive Nagios check
I have a Nagios passive check which doesn't send out any alerts when
it's in a critical status:
define service{
name hpcsg-service
register 0
max_check_attempts3
normal_check_interval 30
retry_check_interval 1
active_checks_enabled 0
passive_checks_enabled1
check_period 24x7
check_freshness 0
obsess_over_service 0
notification_interval 0
notification_period 24x7
notification_options w,u,c,r
notifications_enabled 1
contact_groupshpcsg
}
define service{
use hpcsg-service
name r89-service
register 0
contact_groupsr89
check_freshness 0
active_checks_enabled 0
passive_checks_enabled1
notifications_enabled 1
}
define service{
use r89-service
host_name r89-trap.esc.rl.ac.uk
service_description hpd-crac-07
check_command none
}
define command{
command_namenone
command_line/bin/true
}
The GCI shows that the hpd-crac-07 check has notifications enabled, but
when I "view notifications for this service", it hasn't sent any. We
have similar checks in place that do send notifications, but the key
difference here is that the above check is a purely passive one, i.e. it
only receives check results.
Thanks in advance.

Is the service still in a soft state? Notifications are only usually
sent when the service goes in to a hard state. If the passive check
is only sent once to indicate a critital or warning state, I believe
you will need to set max_check_attempts to 1.
To make sure your templates are being applied correctly, take a look
at what does the service definition looks like in your objects.cache
file.

Jim

I've found the "fault". It was the max_check_attempts, which I should
have set to unity!

[Nagios-users] perl scripts (check_squid.pl)
Hi everyone! First of all, thank you for your help to everyone, since I am learning a lot from the "cases" that get solved in this mailing list. I am quite new to Nagios, but it s already watching my network and showing it greenly beautiful.. the thing that makes me write you is that I downloaded check_squid.pl and it looks fine from the command line. I read from some of you that this is not the way to test it, but the first check_squid.pl that I got didnt even work from the command line. Anyway, I tried to call the command like that, like sudo, like the perl interpreter, googled quite a bit, and still nagios gets "null" as output (very differently from the OK command line) Is any of you using check_squid.pl? How did you make it work from the nagios.cfg, please? Thank you so much! Warm regards, Jorge -- Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.

To see if the process is 'running' your best bet is using check_proc, however, if you want to see if the process is still functioning and not hung, you'll need to interact with the process. As Edwin stated, if your process opens a port, you can connect to it and check for a default response using check_tcp (or udp). If you wrote the java process (or have access to the developers) you can ask that they build in monitoring responses. I have a java listener that I added a hook for a specific string. If I send a specific string to its UDP port, it returns it's PID and Timestamp. What does the Java process do? If it doesn't open a port, does it write to its log that you can check modification times on? If you can interact with the process you can monitor it. If it just runs and doesn't interact with others, you can at least monitor that the process is still running. In general if you can check its health manually, you can write something for Nagios to use. -- Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.

Re: [Nagios-users] Sending email notifications
By default, at the top of your commands.cfg file, you'll see things like "notify-host-by-email" and "notify-service-by-email". Those are commands that work in conjunction with the configuration specified in contacts.cfg. Essentially, all of your services and hosts have or inherit a "contact_groups" setting. That group name should be in contacts.cfg, and it should have all of the appropriate contacts listed in it. (see Nagios Object Definitions for more info: http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/objectdefinitions.html ) Assuming this is the case, and Nagios starts correctly without a configuration error, there's probably an issue with your mail. Check the email address that you have for your contacts. Is it correct? Assuming so, can you send an email from the command line? Try echo "test 1" | mail -s "test 1" contactem...@whatever If you receive the email, but Nagios still doesn't send it, make sure that you are able to run 'sendmail' as the nagios user (aside: people who know more than me: does Nagios invoke sendmail as the default MTA?). I'm going to guess that you can't send mail from the command line either, and that's probably because your MTA isn't setup correctly. Check your /var/log/maillog and your Sendmail (or postfix if you're lucky) configuration. For better advice, I'd need more info on what was going wrong, according to the results of the test and the log output. Good Luck. --Matt On Wed, Mar 3, 2010 at 7:59 AM, Jatin Davey wrote: > I had a requirement to monitor Java process on my windows server and > send an email if it goes down. > I have achieved adding the monitoring of java process on my nagios setup > , i have no clue what to do get nagios send notifications. > Anyone knows please let me know the steps involved. > > Thanks > Jatin > > -- > Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval > Try the new software tools for yourself.

[Nagios-users] Using NSClient with NRPE
I have NSclient on my servers and use NRPE to access client. On the whole it works fine but I have great difficulty detecting if a windows process is running or stopped. I have a java.exe that has to run in a cmd window. I need to know if that process stops for any reason. Using command line from Nagios and with Wordpad.exe as a test I have tried using this ./check_nrpe -H server01 -p 5666 -c CheckProcState -a wordpad.exe=running I get All processes running regardless if Wordpad is open or not. I have read the manual and tried the various combinations mentioned in there and it does not help. Can anyone please supply a command line for NRPE that will tell me when a windows process is running and when it is stopped I want it to return critical Thanks -- Ron Wilson Systems Engineer Television New Zealand P.O.

Re: [Nagios-users] Using NSClient with NRPE
Hi Ron
I just tried this yesterday , I had a requirment to monitor a java
process on a windows box and return a critical alert if it has stopped
working. I used the following on as the nagios configuration , this
should be added to the object configuration file:
define service{
usegeneric-service
host_name
service_descriptionJava
check_commandcheck_nt!PROCSTATE!-d SHOWALL -l java.exe
}
This is working perfectly fine for me , Next step i am trying is to set
up a notification email if the process stops functioning. Hope this helps.
Thanks
Jatin

Re: [Nagios-users] Sending email notifications
Ok , i figured out using an external email server to send mails to my mailbox using the configuration as below : change your /etc/mail/sendmail.cf to read # "Smart" relay host (may be null) DSsmtp:your-mailer.external-host.net now i receive the mails for any alerts that nagios raises.
