[Nagios-users] monitor incoming file for 1hr; go warning->critical at end of hour

[Lylex Ryan]

I want to monitor a service over the course of one hour each day, waiting for 
the arrival of a critical file on the client. The check command initiates a 
script on the client via snmp, which looks for the file and returns a found or 
not-found. The check is now running fine when forced, and correctly indicates 
the arrival or absence of the file.

During that hour, I'd like to see the service in a Warning state if the file 
hasn't arrived, then change to Critical at the end of the hour if there's still 
no sign of the file.

My first thought was to monitor once every 10min, and go from Warning to 
Critical after 6 negative results. Here's my first attempt at the service 
config parameters, but I think I'm off in the deep weeds:
check_interval 10
max_check_attempts 6
retry_interval 10

Any advice is appreciated. ThanksLyle

[Nagios-users] notification subsystem vs event_handler

[Ryan C Ash]

We are in the process of designing a Nagios deployment which is
replacing portions of a vendor solution.  We have a mature ticketing
system which we are integrating with Nagios.  Our initial design
utilized the event_handler functionality to interface with the ticketing
system.  This appears to be standard operating procedure for this type
of integration according to the documentation. I have been fighting with
design issues surrounding the use of a event_handler and I am wondering
if using the notification subsystem isn't a better design.  

Issues with event_handler: 
1. The "acknowledgement" of a svc/host check will be important us. While
the ticket is open in our ticketing system we will not allow any more
events through for that host-svc combination.  This can be easily done
with the integration but the event_handler would continue to fire. 
2. Multiple event_handler needed, one of which may "ack" the event, thus
stopping the ticketing integration
3. Limited control of when these fire, leading to wasted cycles
4. No feature like the external command "ACKNOWLEDGE_SVC_PROBLEM"

Essentially we would just use a custom service_notification_command (and
host) within a custom "contact".  That contact is essentially the global
ticketing integration and would do nothing else.  The "contact would be
assigned to everything, or at least everything going to the ticketing
system.   

Am I missing anything or is the notification route as good as it sounds?

Handcent SMS on the Android.

http://www.handcent.com/

So far as I can tell, iPhone users are still limited.  The guys I
work with who have iPhones are hit and miss as to whether or not
they show up during a night time issue.

I refused to upgrade from my Centro until I could confirm it was
possible to setup a touch phone like the iPhone or Nexus One to
wake me.  I never found a way to "fix" the iPhone without jailbreaking
it.  I now have a Nexus One.  So far, I like it better than the
iPhones I've played with.

Re: [Nagios-users] How do you wake up an iPhone user???

[Mike Chesnut]

This app solves the problem for me on Android: 
http://software.roadkill.com/CustomSMS/

I never did get around this issue when I had an iPhone, though.  Setting 
your Nagios alerts to repeat at an interval that's a multiple of the 
iPhone's alert-repeat was about the best I could do.

Re: [Nagios-users] SNMP showing Unknown

[Gary Every]

I've had this problem, and it's often related to a Stale NFS mount or other
reason snmp can't stat the filesystem. If it's a stale mount, and you can't
umount it (often due to the remote nfs server being down, or no longer
sharing its exports) try:

mount -rf /

It may come back with an error, saying it's mounted it ro, and you may need
to repeat this command several times, it MAY umount. There is a chance you'l
have to bite the bullet and reboot.

I had been doing this previously, but it never felt right, especially
considering I had to create "fake" names for the ports in nagios..  It
definitely had its benefits, though, so maybe we'll head back around to
this method again..  I wish there was a better way to tie a "port" to a
host..  Perhaps a tag that marks it as a physical child of a host,
inherits the hostname and ip and uses the alias to differentiate it from
the main host.  Then parent/child would work, you could tie services to
it properly, etc.

Hrm.. I'll have to submit this as an enhancement request..  :)

Re: [Nagios-users] How do you wake up an iPhone user???

[Greg Pangrazio]

The only drawback to the android version is that your nagios server
has to be publically accessable.  Mine is not and so those do not
work.  I did set up a test server and was pretty happy with the
results.

I have not used the iPhone version.

Re: [Nagios-users] SQL-DB Services-Unknown Status

[Greg Pangrazio]

what does the NRPE config look like on the remote end?  Are you allowed to
run commands?  What result do you get if you run

check_nrpe -t 60 -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -p 5666 -c get_mssql_log_used -a
$HOSTADDRESS$

with the proper variables from the command line on your nagios server?

Re: [Nagios-users] SNMP showing Unknown

[Dorfman, Justin]

Ananth,

This is how we check an SNMP process (in commands.cfg):


> # 'check_snmp' command definition

define command{

command_namecheck_snmp_process

command_line$USER1$/check_snmp_process.pl -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C
> $USER3$

}


I would recommend you downloading these perl scripts:
http://nagios.manubulon.com/index_snmp.html and putting them into your *
/usr/local/nagios/libexec* folder.

Let me know how it goes.

Re: [Nagios-users] How do you wake up an iPhone user???

[Andrew Davis]

 We put in our own sms gateway and have it configured so that all 
alerts go through email unless its related to the network or email 
(which email alerts are dependent upon), in which case they get sms 
instead. We then broke up the alerts such that any sms alert would 
repeat every 5 minutes until acknowledged. That solved the problem for us...

Re: [Nagios-users] How do you wake up an iPhone user???

[Bram Gillemon]

I use prowl for this, it's free, fast, and you can set the most things you like 
on the iphone app.

Prowl uses the iphone's push notifications, so you have to have this enabled.

The only problem you have with prowl is that the user can turn of his 
notifications and as far as i know there is no way to detect this.

Re: [Nagios-users] How do you wake up an iPhone user???

[Assaf Flatto]

  Have them use a decent phone ??

Sorry couldn't resist ..

But more to the point .. i encountered a similar issue with nagios texts 
(alerts) not waking up the receiver of the alert , what we did was 
switch from alert in text format to nagios contacting our VOIP server 
and initiate a call to the contact defined and use a Text-To-Speech to 
generate the "call " .

Most people will wake up when a phone cal comes it , and i suspect that 
the iPhone ring tone is loud enough .

[Nagios-users] Oracle Services showing Unknown

[ravishankar.gundlapali]

Hi,

 

I am using Nagios Version 3.0.6 on a Linux server to monitor the Oracle
Listener, Oracle PMON and Oracle Table spaces for a Unix server using
the following commands

  

1) For Oracle PMON: check_nrpe!check_oracle_db

2) For Oracle Listener: check_nrpe!check_oracle_listner

3) For Oracle Table Space: check_nrpe!check_oracle_ts_tablespace
name

 

After I configure these in Nagios I am getting the following status
information

 

 ' Cannot determine ORACLE_HOME for sid nagios '

 

Please someone let me know how can I resolve this. 

 

 

 

Thanks & Regards,

Ravi G

[Nagios-users] How do you wake up an iPhone user???

[Furnish, Trever G]

Thought I would poll the list on this one to see what everyone else is
doing.

The iphone won't let a user specify a custom sound for a text message
alert (unless it's jailbroken).  It won't repeat the notification sound
frequently (once every three seconds, for example).  The existing
notification sounds aren't loud enough or long enough to wake up most
people.  Most of the folks I serve have started to complain that Nagios
can't wake them up -- it's really an iphone problem though.

Has anyone else come up with a good solution and actually put it into
use?  I am considering several options:

1. Write my own iphone app to make the thing go nuts when a text message
is ignored for more than a few minutes.

2. Write my own  system to cause a simple v.Everything modem to call
someone and read them an alert using speex or set up an asterix gateway
to allow such a call to be placed.

3. Use an outside service such as pagerduty or alarmtilt.

I don't quite have the skill for #1, and I don't want to deal with
detecting answering machines for #2, so I'm surprised to find myself
leaning towards #3.

But what has everyone else done?  Is no one else having to deal with
this?

Hi,

 

I am using Nagios Version 3.0.6 on a Linux server to monitor the
SQL-DB-LOG-GROWTH and SQL-DB-LOG-USED on the Windows servers.

 

For the many of the servers the status information is showing following
errors. Please see the screenshots below

 

1)  UNKNOWN: No handler for that command 

2)  Unknown - * query: No row returned. 

3)  CHECK_NRPE: Received 0 bytes from daemon. Check the remote
server logs for error messages.

4) Unknown - No data received from WMI: 

 

I am using the following the check commands 

 

check_nrpe_mssql_log_used!*!50!90

check_nrpe_mssql_log_growths!*!5000!9000

 

Please someone let me know how can I resolve this.
