Good luck.

Well, it's worth to check with Nagios experts if they have a documented
procedure, before i go and experiment on my production box.
Also, it is obvious for anyone to search online for documents before
asking for help on forums.
Since, i did not find much information, i had to seek help from the
blessed ones. May be, i need to tweak my search queries.

Anyways, it seems i am on my own. I liked your last suggestion btw; i'll
clone my production box and experiment on it.

 Could be. There are two scripts floating around that can be quite helpful
 to modify your configuration from 1.x to 2.x. The changes between 2.x and
 3.x are much less significant and touch primarily nagios.cfg, except for
 some host object parameters which you can almost certainly get away with
 setting in your templates.

 I can't recall the names of the scripts now (which is weird, since I wrote
 them), but trying +nagios +1to2 +retention +contact should at least get you
 started.

 Anyways, it seems i am on my own. I liked your last suggestion btw; i'll

 Always a good idea. Don't forget to disable checks and/or notifications
 while you're experimenting.

In development self-tests (using autotest) I get a lot of mileage from
nagios -v /etc/nagios/nagios.cfg to check that the parsing succeeds.

I also get mileage form the following which catches when the upstream
moves my binaries around -- it might also help you if plugins drop
executables or install in a different location:

define command{
command_namecheck_runnable
command_line/usr/bin/check_runnable $USER1$/$ARG1$
}

define command{
command_namecheck_runnable_fullpath
command_line/usr/bin/check_runnable $ARG1$
}

...
...
# dependency configures the on-demand running when dependent fails: if
check_users fails, this dependency
# causes is it even there and runnable? to be confirmed
define servicedependency{
dependent_host_name localhost
dependent_service_description   Total Processes
host_name   localhost
service_description Runnable check_users
execution_failure_criteria  w,c,u
notification_failure_criteria   w,c,u
}

#  run twice daily -- shouldn't have execs changing too often, and
really this runs when a dependent fails
define service{
use bidaily-service ; Name
of service template to use
host_name   localhost
service_description Runnable check_users
check_command   check_runnable!check_users
notifications_enabled   0
}

Checking that your binaries are there may seem a bit silly, but I
spent a bit long trying to see why something was failing only to see
that the RPM no longer provided some executables.  Defining them as
dependencies means they'll only be run if the actual test fails, so
they incur no load in the event of no exception, but ask as a quick
check-for-existence when a failure occurs.  Since you're moving
versions, you may get some mileage of checking that your executables
are there before and after.

Hello People!!



Can you help me?

I installed plugin check_svn in my Nagios 3.2.3. When I run check_svn using 
prompt, that's work. But not when Nagios running check_svn.



nagiosql:~# su - nagios

nag...@nagiosql:/usr/local/nagios/libexec$ ./check_svn -H 10.0.0.33 --https -U 
lcarneiro -P  --dir /svn/aocsw_config

SVN OK: svn repository online - directory listing successful



But, when Service Nagios run, not work. See:



SVN CRITICAL: Error connecting to svn server - OPTIONS of 
'https://svnaero/svn/aocsw_desenv': Server certificate verification failed: 
issuer is not trusted (https://svnaero)



Commands.cfg:   $USER1$/check_svn -H $HOSTADDRESS$ --https -U $ARG1$ -P $ARG2$

Service:

$ARG1$ lcarneiro

$ARG2$ x

$ARG2$/svn/aocsw_desenv



check_command   check_svn!lcarneiro!x!/svn/aocsw_desenv





I already accept certificate permanent (p) using svn info SVN PATH.
How can i know which USER run check_svn?
I think this could be the problem, because i need to accept certificate to user 
that run check_svn.

If you have all your parent relationships defined with 'localhost' the
ultimate parent of everything else, then I guess you could schedule
downtime for localhost and tick the box to schedule downtime for that
host and all its children.  I can't say I've ever tried it myself but
think it should do what you want.

[Nagios-users] check scheduling when checks are inhibited.

2010-11-22 Thread Paul M. Dubuc
We're using Nagios 3.2.3 for simulation of monitoring load in a load test 
environment as well as for monitoring production services.  I've notices some 
interesting behavior in the way Nagios schedules checks when checks are 
inhibited either though the CGI Process Commands or by setting a check_period 
timeperiod that inhibits checks during regularly scheduled down times.

Normally Nagios seems to spread out host and service checks evenly over time 
but when checks are stopped with the Process Command, Nagios seems to 
reschedule checks so that they are bunched up much closer together.  This 
creates alternating periods of densely scheduled and more sparsely scheduled 
checks that seem to persist when checks are turned on again.  It has a 
noticeable effect in our load testing.  The only way--or the quickest way--to 
get Nagios to smooth out the schedule again is to stop the process completely 
until all the scheduled check times have passed.

In testing Nagios monitoring of our production services, if I use the 
check_period to inhibit checks during our down times, I notice that as the 
downtime approaches, ALL checks are rescheduled for the exact time that the 
downtime ends (according to the check_period).  This creates a big spike in 
monitoring activity after the downtime.  One way to avoid this, I think, is to 
let checks run during the down times but inhibit notifications instead by 
using the timeperiod to define a notification_period.  But I wonder if this 
bunching up of the schedule when using check_periods is ever a desirable 
behavior.

These aren't critical issues for us since we can work around them 
procedurally.  But I wonder if there his a way to prevent the scheduled checks 
from getting bunched together like this if/when you need to inhibit checks for 
a time while keeping Nagios running. Maybe the auto_rescheduling options in 
the nagios.cfg are meant to address this, but they have a potentially negative 
effect on performance according to the comments around them in the file.

[Nagios-users] Check For Updates Feature

2010-11-22 Thread Jon Adcock
 
  When Nagios Core 3.2.3 came out, I waited a week to see if the main landing 
page (main.php) would tell me that an update was available. My notification 
never showed up. If everything is working properly, I THINK it is supposed to 
display a banner on the page that says A new version of Nagios Core is 
available!.
I do have check_for_updates=1 and bare_update_check=0 in nagios.cfg

  Also, as a test, I modified the main.php file so that the line that read 
\\$updateinfo['update_available']=true; was changed to 
$updateinfo['update_available']=true;
When I did that, the banner was displayed.
 
   Can you give me some ideas on where I can start troubleshooting why none of 
my 3 Nagios servers show when an update is available?

Kill your Nagios daemon.

Now, kill the *other* Nagios daemon you have running.

If you make changes to your config file and send Nagios a SIGHUP (or
restart it) and the changes don't seem to stick, you might have
multiple Nagios daemons running, one with an old config (that still
thinks 4.00 is a critical threshold), while the new daemon is
receiving the changes you mean to make.

This is a common issue, and it's easy to fix.  Shut down your daemon
via whatever method you have (service nagios stop, pkill, etc).  Then,
wait 30 seconds or so to allow outstanding service checks to wrap up,
and see if there are still Nagios processes hanging around.  If they
are, kill them too.  Wait another 30 seconds, rinse and repeat until
there are no more Nagios processes.

At that point, restart Nagios.  Do your changes take affect now?

Hi,

Can you give me some ideas on where I can start troubleshooting why none
 of my 3 Nagios servers show when an update is available?

have you installed from source or a package from a distributor?

Suse packages for example have a patch against the calling home function!

Regards,
 Christian
