[Nagios-users] timeperiods / exclude daily timespan with "exception" / nagios 3.2.x ?

2010-12-22 Thread uplink . team
Hi all,

I am trying to figure out the most elegant/readable way to specify a timeperiod 
(for notifications), which exclude a small timespan each day.

In the 3.2 docs [1] there is mention of the "exclude" directive (which does not 
reliably work yet, as stated in the releaselog for 3.2.0 [1]) and a - more 
intriguing - "[exception]" directive.

If I understand the former correctly, it's supposed to work like this (for 
creating a "blind-spot" of 5 minutes daily):

define timeperiod{
timeperiod_name exceptions_for_specific_service
alias   Exception for specific service
day 1 - -1  06:35-06:40 # 06:35 - 06:40 daily
}   

define timeperiod{
timeperiod_name 24x7_exceptions_for_nlc_epichannel
alias   24/7, but excluding 06:35 - 06:40 daily
use 24x7
exclude exceptions_for_specific_service
}   


However, I fail at using the other directive [exception]. How is this supposed 
to work? There seems to be no details or examples anywhere...

Can any of you please share a working example? Or point to some documentation I 
missed?

Thanks for any help!

[Nagios-users] Nagios service check warning messages (..looks like it was orphaned..)

2010-12-22 Thread Meghanand Acharekar
Hi,

I can see lots of warning messages saying

... looks like it was orphaned (results never came back).  I'm
scheduling an immediate check of the service...

(sometimes) in my nagios log, after doing Google search I found this could
be due to improper directive configuration,
I'm checking many of my services via nrpe.

I just want to know what could be the possible reasons behind such warnings.
And is there possibility of serious misconfiguration on such warning
messages.

Regards,

Meghanand N. Acharekar

I'm not using postfix but have a few boxes running exim and some running
sendmail.I have exim and sendmail both configured to use my exchange
server as a smarthost for all mail.  Exchange is set to accept all
inbound mail connections from 192.168.0.0/16 and route & relay it
accordingly.

I didn't do my own sendmail config, and I'm not to familiar with
sendmail; but in exim I set it up for no local mail and all mail is sent
through a relay or smarthost.

Postfix should have similar settings.

 Obviously your have been testing eggs and are now trying to send 
 apples. Your test should have been identical to something Nagios is 
 trying.

 So talk to postfix instead of a remote SMTP server and try to mimick 
 the same sender and recipient.

 I think it is safe to say that you may not be the best person to 
 configure this. If you have a business need for this then I guess hiring 
 someone with sufficient knowledge is the best way to getting this 
 started.

First thing, change the samples they give you to be your mail server, and tell 
it that the from and to addresses are the same things that Nagios is trying to 
use.  That part is critical, otherwise you're not comparing apples to apples 
and you can't tell if you have an Exchange configuration or postfix 
configuration issue.

In Exchange you should check your Hub Transport Configuration for both the 
organization and server for how external mail is routed, domains you will 
accept mail locally for, domains you will relay for, IP's you will accept relay 
from.  In particular check your accept domains configuration and your transport 
configuration.

> I have it set to sattelitte system,

I don't have my Nagios box send mail as @mydomain.com,  it sends it as 
nag...@nagios.mydomain.com - I think I had some issues with recipient not found 
when I was trying to just do @mydomain.com so I did this to make it work.  
Check your config files, make sure everything seems reasonable; do you have the 
smarthost/relay host configured right, does it resolve right, did you give it 
just the computer name or did you give it a FQDN, have you tried switching it 
to an IP instead of a name to rule out a DNS lookup issue?   Check your relay 
domain list as well, that's gotten me before.

Make sure the nagiosrepo...@blah.co.uk if it is a local domain to your exchange 
server actually exists either as a mailbox, a distribution group, etc and that 
it has the correct smtp aliases configured (and if it is a group, who are the 
allowed senders to it, you probably can't restrict it to authenticated users 
only).

Then try your telnet test using the same parameters to talk to exchange to send 
mail as Nagios does.


Take Nagios out of the equation right now, get where you can use some simple 
mail diagnostics on your Ubuntu box to send mail to
Yourself.  Something simple like:  mail -s Test123 m...@myreale-mailaddress.com 
  Hello World  .  
Throw some tail -f's on your log files and see what happens.  If that's not 
working, hit up google or even some IRC channels and get that working first 
before you put Nagios back in the picture.

[Nagios-users] NAGIOS_ environment variables in a notification script

2010-12-22 Thread Marc Haber
Hi,

I am trying to write a notification script which is called via the
following command definition:

define command {
command_namenotify-service-by-email
command_line/path/bin/notify --mail="$CONTACTEMAIL$"
}

To save myself from handing in all macros to the script via the
command line, I'd like to use the macros that are written to the
environment as NAGIOS_foo.

Despite having set enable_environment_macros=1 in my nagios.cfg, the
notification script only sees NAGIOS_PLUGIN=/path/bin/notify.

What am I doing wrong?

I'm using Nagios 3.0.6 from Debian lenny. Any hints will be appreciated.

Greetings
Marc

PNP4Nagios depends heavily on rrdtool because the graphs are created by rrdtool 
too.
Is not possible to use another storage engine then rrdtool.

NagiosGrapherV2 might be a solution for you.

[Nagios-users] max_check_attempts over time

2010-12-22 Thread Daniel Wittenberg
We're looking at a service that has problems from time-to-time, and it
gets auto-restarted when needed (Windows).  What I've been looking for
is a way to say that it needs 3 restarts ir order to go critical, but
only within a 1 hour time frame.  Anyone come up with a way to do time
frames like this?

  Your problem is fuzzy defined : e.g : 'needs-3-restarts to go
critical'   , this can be be multi-explained.
  What is the correct one ?

Re: [Nagios-users] max_check_attempts over time

2010-12-22 Thread Daniel Wittenberg
I want to know if a service restarts 3 times in one hour.

Right now I can only find a way to do 3 times, ever, using max_check_attempts.

Better ?

Dan

Re: [Nagios-users] NAGIOS_ environment variables in a notification script

enable_environment_macros should override use_large_installation_tweaks, 
which is what can also disable environment macros.  Perhaps your version 
is not acting as suspected?  See if you have u_l_i_t enabled, and if so, 
try disabling it.

If that isn't it, try setting debug_level=2 (and debug_file, etc).  
Restart and check the debug output to see if it's actually seeing the 
config directive.  Perhaps you have a typo.

Then maybe set debug_level=32 and run a few notification tests (or just 
set it to 34 initially so you get notification and configuration 
debugging)...

Also, consider upgrading.  Nagios 3.2+ is great.

But for me problem comes back after few hours, I'm receiving very few
