[Nagios-users] UTF-8 characters in Nagios UI
Hello, We are currently using Nagios 3.0.6 on RHEL 5. I have checked Nagios archives already but there is something I found strange, so I am posting it here. I was testing UTF-8 support in Nagios with following are the results: 1. Created 3 filesystems /Индия, /भारत, /インド (thank you Google translate) Results: All of them appear as it is in "Service section" in Nagios UI 2. Defined a NSCA service and sent messages in different languages with different severity level Result: E-mails are sent with UTF-8 characters perfectly fine The message appears with junk characters in "Status Information" section of Nagios UI It's pretty interesting that UTF-8 characters appear perfectly fine in "Service" section but not in "Status Information" that too in same UI. Is there a way to fix this?

You do, of course, have to run this on the Nagios server, since that's where the pipe is. The message in your log seems to indicate you typo'd the SCHEDULE_HOST_SVC_CHECK command. If you're using NSCA, your pipe works: it submits commands to Nagios the same way. -- ___ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null

[Nagios-users] nagios.cmd does not seem to work properly
Hello, We'd like to use nagios.cmd pipe to send some signals. According to the examples in documentation, we can do a simple thing like that : /bin/printf "[%lu] ACKNOWLEDGE_HOST_PROBLEM;host1;1;1;1;Some One;Some Acknowledgement Comment\n" $now > $commandfile The problem is, it seems it's not taken in account - no log in nagios.log, no message is printed in shell, and more over nagios doesn't seem to do anything. I tested with an error inside the command, and it seems to be parsed: [1273156151] Warning: Unrecognized external command -> SCHEDULE_HOST_SVC_CHECKs;fqdn;1273156151 but nothing else happens. Is there a way to be sure that nagios do what we ask? The main thing is: - we're using NSCA plugin so that we have about 80 servers with their own nagios, sending results and status to a single host - we tried to run this command only on remote hosts - maybe we have to use it on the nsca server ?

Does the template have a contactgroup directive in it ? you need to override any template or wide definitions that cover the service and put in the service specific definitions the directive : "contacts ab" this will tell the service to just send to the specific contact .

[Nagios-users] High latency when 15% hosts offline
Hi I'm running Nagios Core 3.2.1 Currently we have a network switch down, meaning all hosts beneath that switch are unreachable, 42 in number (from a total of 336) . In Nagios I have the switch set up as the parent. The switch I have set to be in scheduled downtime until we get a replacement, to prevent notifications being sent out. I am finding that the service check latency is enormous and the scheduling queue is slipping behind in time. For example, it is now 11:04am and the next check at the top of the scheduling queue should have run at 9:52am. Here are the service metrics from the Perf. Info page; Check Execution Time: 0.00 sec30.19 sec 2.170 sec Check Latency: 0.00 sec13612.54 sec7025.395 sec Percent State Change: 0.00% 17.37% 0.50% Are there any ways I can reduce this latency, other than disabling active checks on all the unreachable hosts? Or any 'parallel' check tweaks I may have mis-configured? I'm happy to provide any other info Thanks for any help Kristian -- ___ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null

Re: [Nagios-users] Check for the IBM ds4000 series totalstorage cabinett - FIX
Hi at all, I'm newbie on nagios and I'm writing here to ask you for suggestions abut how to structure my monitoring situation. I've to monitor linux servers for about 15/20 customers, from 1 to 5 server for each customer. We aren't on vpn with customers, so this servers are all behind NAT. That isn't a problem because we are the administrator of the firewall (other linux server) so we can manage any kind of DNAT and filter rule. I read on official documentation that suggest to use NCSA addon for distributed monitoring, but we choose to use NRPE addon for different motivations like: -customer force us to do that -the number of monitored servers for each customer will never grow up -the services to monitor for each server are the same (raid hw/sw, disk usage etc) -we need a completly centralized monitoring structure For last sentence I thought to use the arguments option on NRPE (yes, I read the SECURITY document). Besides, to solve the problem of NAT with NRPE I'll do DNAT on firewall and the port parameter on check_nrpe plugin (is there problems to do that? I did little tests but I prefear a confirm) To manage this structure I need to organized a well-formed config file structure on nagios server. I thinked to structure it like this obj--| |-->templatelinuxserversgeneral.cfg | |-->customer_1_directory|->templateserver.cfg | |->server1.cfg | |->server2.cfg | |->servern.cfg | |-->customer_2_directory|->templateserver.cfg |->server1.cfg |->servern.cfg Where: -templatelinuxserversgeneral.cfg is a very basic template for server -customer_1_directory in wich there is 1 file for each customer's server -templateserver.cfg will use templatelinuxserversgeneral and will add more specific common variabiles for that customer's server like the public IPAddress that will be the same for each customer's server. -servern.cfg in wich there will be some very specific server variables like nrpe port (read up). What do you think? How can I organize that service-server combination?

[Nagios-users] Check for the IBM ds4000 series totalstorage cabinett - FIX
Hi,
after the latest firmware upgrade to a IBM DS 4700, the "Check for the IBM
ds4000 series totalstorage cabinet" stopped working.
I made a small fix to the perl plugin, just 2 lines. To have the plugin
working with the latest cli, make this substitutions:
Line 164
Change
if($line=~/Array status:\s*([^\s]*)/i) {
with
if(($line=~/Array status:\s*([^\s]*)/i) || ($line=~/Status:\s*([^\s]*)/i)) {
Line 167
Change
if(!defined($array_status) || !($array_status=~/online/i)) {
with
if(!defined($array_status) || !(($array_status=~/online/i) ||
($array_status=~/optimal/i))) {
Done, now it should work. The latest upgrade changes the output of cli
messages, that's why the script doesn't work anymore. The fix traps the
old and new status messages.
Hope it helps
Cheers,
Giorgio Zarrelli
