Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios full copied reserve server

2008-01-29 Thread magic_rooter
Hello everybody. I need to have nagios reserve server which will
replace the main server when it dies. I installed nagios on another
machine, copied all directory /usr/local/nagios and start reserve
service Nagios.
I have thound that statistics differs very much! Of course, nagios was
installed in different time on each server. But when I copy status.dat
file from the main server, availibility statistics on the reserve
server became the same! But AFTER RESTART it returnes to  its previos
state:(.

So, I can't solve this problem, because I can't understand what files
I need to copy in order to make  the full copy:(.

I must mention that reserve server must not work all time. It has  to
be turn on ONLY when main server dies. So, what about availibility
statistics?
How to make statistics on reserve server STRONGLY the same as on the
main server?

With the great respect to everybody, Kristine

[Nagios-users] Maximum monitored hosts and services?

2008-01-15 Thread magic_rooter
Hello everybody!
I have performance problem now
There are 5700 hosts and  7058 services in my nagios. Server-RHEL3,
Nagios 2.5,8gb RAM,8 CPUs.All checks are active. Hosts checks
disabled.
Performance is awful! It can't perform all checks for an hour! When I
had 3000 services the performance was great-all tests made in 5 min.
Our environment increases fastly. So, I want to know how many services
nagios can perform maximally in 5 min?
I made tuning of nagios. All performance tips from docs and inet.
But now I see that nagios works bad when it has 7000 service checks.
Maybe version 3.0 will solve my problems?

Help me please!:( I am in despair.

Kristine

[Nagios-users] Service duration problems

2007-12-26 Thread magic_rooter
Hello! I have very important problem that annoying  me very much:(
I can't solve it for months. I use Nagios v. 2.5 (RHAS3) for a year.
It is good monitoring system but smth strange is with event duration
in availability report and "Current State Duration" field when I look
at Service State Information. These values are different! I can't  see
the real statistics-how much server is in current state:(.
I played with all nagios parametrs in nagios.cfg, searched info in
internet. And didn't find anything.

For example. I have service Ping on server. I see that it is "0d 0h
10m 27s" in state OK in Service State Information. But when I look at
its avail.cgi I see:
"27-12-2007 00:00:0027-12-2007 10:06:56 0d 10h 6m 56s+"
I want to mention that nothing happend with server 10 min ago!:(It is
wrong statistics.
Also I have found strange thing. In this strange case "Last Check
Time" field is the same as "Last State Change" field.

Where is the truth? Why the time is different? How it works? Does
duration calculates in both cases differently and maybe not from one
data file?

[Nagios-users] Nagios XML Engine problems

2007-07-05 Thread magic_rooter
Hello everybody!
I installed NXE and all useful libraries and addons but have problems
with launching.

The main question is the next. For what version of Nagios NXE written?
I ask this because in nxe.config I see strange file status.log. There
is no such file in Nagios 2.5. It was in nagios 1.0. So what I must
write instead of this? No it called status.dat. So I need to write:
status1=/usr/local/nagios/var/status.dat?

Also I have another problem. When I run this command I see:

[Nagios-users] Can Nagios update configs by SQL from another server?

2007-06-27 Thread magic_rooter
Hello everybody!

We have server with sql base where there is data for Nagios. I will explain.
There is dynamically updated database with servers and routers. The
structure is simple:name and ip.
And I have server with Nagios (v.2.5)
I saw some addons and plugins for Nagios that store nagios configs in
mysql database: NDOutils, loadconfig.pl and so on...
Can these or maybe other programms go to SQL server, pull data with
the names and ip of servers and routers and insert it to nagios
configs (which are in sql or in .cfg files)?

Thank you in advance for assistance!

Hello everybody!
Thank you very much for your assistance!! You helped me a lot!! Nagios
performance increased! Now all my 2160 check performed on 5 min
instead of 15 min! It is interesting can I increase it to 1 min?May be
there are any other methods of tuning? I only set check_host (with
check_icmp command) instead of check ping now and performance grew!

But latency is still not very good:((

Hi, Marc
1. It is not an exersise, I have real delay in 15 minutes before

2. I want to have service and hosts checks in 1 minute not in 15 min.
So as faster as possible because we need very actual info about hosts

[Nagios-users] Increasing Nagios performance on multiprocessor server

2007-05-24 Thread magic_rooter
Hello everybody!
I have Nagios installed on 8 processor server with 8 Gb operational memory
and 2000 services to check. But server is not loaded even on 2%. I
want better performance and faster check on such powerful server
because it does not works in its full power. Often it stands and waits
for something and there are only 5-10 processes.
P.S. In nagios. cfg all checks are smart. But I think that Nagios  can
work faster. What directives I must change? May be by setting
service_inter_check_delay_method=d
and host_inter_check_delay_method=d?

Re: [Nagios-users] Plugin for cisco x25 vc monitoring

2007-02-14 Thread magic_rooter
Hello! Has anyone some shell or perl script which goes to cisco
router, evaluates commands on it and output the result?
I need  to monitor x 25 vc connections on router. I have found  where
are these variables stored in cisco snmp mibs. But there is no such
snmp plugin in Nagios to monitor this.

The command which I use to show  info I need is:

router#sh x25 vc | inc 701000
  Connects 701000 <--> 1100101 to
  Connects 701000 <--> 1100101 from Serial1/0 SVC 5

So, how this command and its output will look in shell script, which
will be the plugin for Nagios? Sorry, I don't know shell scripting
well.That's why I answer.

Re: [Nagios-users] individual cgi programms or so on...

2007-02-06 Thread magic_rooter
Hello!
Is there any possibility in Nagios to create my own output of
status.cgi program?
I will try to describe my idea on example. When I open url
http://nagios/nagios/cgi-bin/status.cgi?hostgroup=other_atms&style=grid
 I want to see minimum information:
-without any grids
-colours
-and fields which are not required for my goal.

I need this in order the script to pull data from this url. There are
for about 1000 hosts and Nagios generates this page too slowly, for
about a second. So I want to make some kind of page which will be
smaller as it is now with all these css, grids and unuseful info for
me.In another words I need  to clear page from many unnesessary html
tags.

So, have I write my own status.cgi? Or it can be done by another method?
Where this cgi program takes fields (for example: host, status, last
check, duration) which it displays on web page?

Thank you for answers in advance!

Re: [Nagios-users] Two differenet files hosts.cfg and hostsgroups.cfg in one Nagios

2007-02-02 Thread magic_rooter
 I need yor help very much
   I have hostgroup which I need to describe in another configs. Updating
   script will work only with these files in order not to damage main
   configs in some case. So I made hosts2.cfg for my group and described
   it in nagios.cfg as cfg_file parameter. For services I used grouping
   services for the whole group. So the problem is halfly decided. But I
   want to ask you can I make another file hostgroups2.cfg ONLY for one
   group and describe it nagios.cfg as hosts2.cfg? Can Nagios work with
   two files hostgroups?
   P.S. I have already read the large book about Nagios. And there I saw
   some kind of  nagios.cfg where there were addidional folder for some
   logical groups with their own hosts.cfg and services.cfg! But in this
   sctructure was the only file hostsgroups.cfg for all nagios.

[Nagios-users] Another one statusmap.cgi needed

2006-11-09 Thread magic_rooter
Hello everyone!

The problem is in self-made( user-supplied) map.I have very many hosts
in my network. More than 1000. And it is not the limit.
There is no place on the screen for the half of my hosts! On the
circular maps objects gather in non-readable heap. On the balanced
tree map for example the page is very long. I have to scroll a lot to
reach the right (left) corner of my network.

I have the task from my boss -  to draw our own map, in order to see
all of the monitored hosts and routers on the screen WITHOUT scrolling
and large heap, where we see almost nothing. It is very important for
comfortable monitoring in our enterprise.

So, what I need?
I need to make something like hyperlink to another web page with
statusmap. For example, from main router to its subnetwork, which is
large.
So have I to create another map? But how? Statusmap is the cgi
program, not html page

By another words I want to have some more layout methods except
already existing.
Where these layers are described in Nagios? Can I add my own methods
(in other words -  my additional maps) somewhere? Or the only way is
to insert changes to the source code of statusmap.cgi?
Is it available for us, nagios administrators?

Help me please, you are the last hope:(.

[Nagios-users] snmpwalk (cisco mibs) - changes in the interface's MAC addresses table

2006-11-01 Thread magic_rooter
Is there any OID (if it's possible the exact name) in cisco mibs which
shows  changes in theinterface's  MAC addresses table? (Or if
there is no such OID, maybe there is OID with the STATIC interface's
MAC addresses table?)
With the help of snmpwalk with such OID to our cisco devices  and with
some kind of script for Nagios I will find out the changes in my
network status.
I have found something on Cisco site
http://tools.cisco.com/Support/SNMP/do/BrowseMIB.do?local=en&step=2&submitClicked=true&mibName=CISCO-MAC-NOTIFICATION-MIB#dependencies

"This MIB module is for configuration of the MAC notification feature.
MAC notification is a mechanism to inform monitoring devices when
there are MAC addresses learnt or removed from the forwarding database
of the monitored devices."

Maybe this MIB is what I need?

Thank you for information about nmap2nagios. I will try it. I think it
is the second good method (the first is using CDP based software).

I wonder how administrators with frequently changed large network
(about 3000 hosts) solve this problem? Maybe somebody wrote useful
script for it?

I know some tools based upon Cisco Discovery Protocol. Netdisco and
Nedi for example. So I can gather information from my network and than
manually add it to my configs? So, that's a good idea, I think. Some
kind of script will make it more easy to enter new lines into
configs...

My goal is to find out very quickly with the help of Nagios about new
equipment. Monitoring or not monitoring is the another question. I am
implementing Nagios in our company now. So I am investigating all of
Nagios capability. At this stage I want now if I can have the
auto-updating configuration of my network. It is very important
feature for my boss.

Sorry, I didn't understand what automatic tool do you use. Can you
explain a little this method?
