I'm not sure.  I would probably define the tunnel as a host in its own
right.  A 'host' doesn't always have to be a physical box.

The bug, which stops all Nagios monitoring for 24 hours, occurs when  
"time moves backwards". This does not happen when "time moves  
forward". However, any other timeperiods (such as 09:00-17:00) maybe  
incorrect by an hour, which is obviously not as serious. This is true  
for Nagios 3.2.0.

If these users should never get anything else than DOWN notifications,
use service_notification_options and host_notification_options in the
contact definition.

You could also do this with escalations, but it sounds like the above
will work for you?

[Nagios-users] Restrict user only to enable/disable checks

2010-03-09 Thread Jelle Smet


Hi list,

I'm looking for a way to allow users do pretty much everything
of the host and service commands except enabling & disabling them.

I
believe these are 

cmd_typ=16 (for all services on the host)
cmd_typ=4
(for the host check)
cmd_typ=6 (for a service check) 

There are a couple
of things which come to my mind such as mod_security, or some other apache
level restricting stuff.

Has anyone experience in setting up something
like this?
It would be helpfull if people see a helpfull message saying,
you're not allowed to execute this command, so they don't think the
application isn't working. 

What are your thoughts?

[Nagios-users] NRPE install vs. SSL

2010-03-09 Thread Gezina Dekker
Hi all,

During my NRPE install on Solaris 10, I ran into the problem that the SSL
libraries are not visible to the install process. The install process is
looking for it in /usr but in effect there is a link in /usr/include/openssl
that points to /usr/sfw/include/openssl.

Some products allow you to specify parms when you install, can I do the same
here to get past this hurdle?

Regards

Gezina

This has no relevance since you're asking about service notifications. Look for 
the service definition in question in objects.cache. Verify that retry_interval 
is what you expect it to be. If it is, you have multiple nagios daemons 
running, escalations defined or some problem with your MTA not removing 
messages from queue after delivery.

Actually, it's the opposite. He needs to add the nagios user's public key to 
the authorized_keys file for each user on the remote machines.

Moving private keys around is a security no-no.

Re: [Nagios-users] NRPE install vs. SSL

2010-03-09 Thread Richard Quintin
./configure -h will list the options which includes:

--enable-ssl enables native SSL support
--with-ssl=DIR sets location of the SSL installation
--with-ssl-inc=DIR sets location of the SSL include files
--with-ssl-lib=DIR sets location of the SSL libraries


So you should be able to do something like
./configure --enable-ssl --with-ssl-inc=/usr/sfw/include/openssl
--with-ssl-lib=/usr/sfw/lib/openssl

Go to your NRPE install directory and run this;

./configure –with-ssl=
–with-ssl-lib=

I have also found this link to be quite helpful;

I expect that you could use htaccess to do this. Completely off the top of my 
head and untested but try something like this in the .htaccess file in the sbin 
directory --

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(cmd_type=16|cmd_type=4|cmd_type=6) [OR] 
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /not_allowed.html [R,L]

Hosts and services are independent of each other; neither has precedence.

If you specify a timeperiod on your service checks, it applies to your 
service checks. If you apply it to your host checks, it applies to your 
host checks. They are two different things.

Re: [Nagios-users] check_by_ssh from a different username

2010-03-09 Thread Matt Simmons
Yes. And you can simplify this by running ssh-copy-id as the Nagios user:

--
nag...@monserv:~$ ssh-copy-id remu...@remhost
remu...@remhost's password:
Now try logging into the machine, with "ssh 'r...@webdb1.int.ia'", and check in:

  .ssh/authorized_keys

to make sure we haven't added extra keys that you weren't expecting.
--

Most Linux systems that I've seen provide this script. Other Unices
may not have it. If it's there, it makes it much faster than manually
copying and pasting public keys.

I think it simply means it can't get the performance counter.  I would
start by looking at the performance utility on the server itself and
check you can see the relevant counter there.

I believe I've seen this problem when performance counters are messed
up one way or another, or one time when the performance counter had an
unusual character in it.  I expect you'll find more on the subject in
the forum on the NSClient++ web site.

[Nagios-users] event handler script not executing

2010-03-09 Thread Rick
Hi all:
 
Got Nagios core 3.2.0 on CentOS5. Been trying to get an event handler to execute
but it will not. My configs;
 
define service{
use   local_service
host_namemy_host
service_description NFS Check
check_period  24x7
check_interval20
max_check_attempts 4
check_commandcheck_nrpe!check_nfs_mounts
event_handler_enabled1
event_handler   
remount-nfs!$SERVICESTATE$!$SERVICESTATETYPE$!$SERVICEATTEMPT$
notification_period   24x7
notification_interval  120
contact_groups  colorado
}
 
define command{
command_nameremount-nfs
command_line   $USER1$/eventhandlers/remount-nfs $SERVICESTATE$
$SERVICESTATETYPE$ $SERVICEATTEMPT$
}
 
enable_event_handlers=1 in the nagios.cfg file
 
The script itself is very simple. At CRITICAL/SOFT/3 and CRITCAL/HARD/4 the
script will execute. Running at command line as UID=nagios it runs fine.
sudo is configured and nagios can mount NFS. 
 
 
The entry in the nagios.log
[1268099555] SERVICE_EVENT_HANDLER: my_host;NFS
CHECK;CRITCAL;SOFT;3;remount-nfs!CRITCAL!SOFT!3
 
I have followed the process through and it will not execute the remount-nfs
event handler command. 

All perms, dir & file, have been checked. Everything else is working as it
should including the $SERVICE* macros. Just the script is not being executed.
 
What is missing?
 
Many thanks

I've seen XML errors from OpenManage when probing disks with broken
firmware, but this seems to be something else. Do you get the same XML
errors when you run the failing commands manually on the server? If so,
I'm afraid there isn't much check_openmanage can do about it.

A reinstall of OpenManage is probably the next logical step..

Yes, the above output *is* on the server.  :(

This really smells like an issue with the OMSA install...  I have
since found out that this particular host is off lease next week,
so it's really not an issue for me.  However, it might be nice for
people to have the information in the archives.

Indeed.  If it makes it easier for everyone and acceptable to your security
team, you can even download all your required packages to some other machine
already on the Internet (does your company have those?), copy them onto USB
or other device, and then copy them to your Nagios box for installation.

If it's this much hassle to get your Nagios box onto the Internet, then
doing this "sneaker net" install will be a good practice run for how you'll
eventually apply upgrades and install additional packages.

Re: [Nagios-users] Notification Interval set to 0 not working as per doc

2010-03-09 Thread Jatin Davey
Thanks Marc,

I defined a new service definition and had set the notification interval 
for it to 0 and it worked as i wanted.
I wrongly understood that putting this value to host definitions would 
yield me the required result but it was not so.
Created a new service definition with notification interval set to 0 and 
then used the service definition into all the services that i needed.

Appreciate your timely help in this regard.

Thanks
Jatin
