Re: [Nagios-users] About host check retry interval for nagios v 3.x

In the case of retry_interval, this is the number of minutes between each check attempt after the host goes into a SOFT non-ok state. Normally you put a 1 here so that it retries every 1 minute until it reaches max_check_attempts. regards, Aidan -- ___ 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

I've changed the why I work out the host_name of the host being depended

If someone could double check my syntax to make sure I have not made an

[Nagios-users] Child host becomes UNREACHABLE when parent changes from UP to a SOFT DOWN state
Hi List! I am in the process of upgrading from v2.12 to v3.2.1. As well as upgrading, I am taking the opportunity to move to a new server at the same time. This has allowed me to run both versions in tandem to compare the operation of the two versions. One difference I noticed straight away was downtime duration on certain hosts. For example, v2 would show a host down for over 2 days yet v3 would show the same host as being down for only a few hours. On investigation, it turned out that the parent of the host on v3 went into a soft down state. This changed the host in question to an unreachable state. The parent host recovered within a minute or so and changed the host back to a down state, effectively resetting the down duration back to zero. I would have expected that the child host should only change state if the parent goes into a hard down state, not a soft down state. I googled for the issue and found one related post from just over a year ago: http://www.mail-archive.com/nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg25543.html The poster was given various suggestions to circumvent the problem, i.e. tweaking flap detection, increasing time-out on the plugin etc but nothing that seemed to resolve his issue. The posters main problem with this behaviour was that he was getting down e-mail alerts for hosts that are already down due to the state changes. My issue is not with repeated alerts but with the accuracy of the down duration of the host. When our support department look to resolve host problems, they will try and resolve the oldest problems first for obvious reasons of fairness to our customers. This scenario breaks this. In v3, to get an accurate downtime for a host, you would now have to trawl through the alert history or run a trend report for the host to find out when the host really went down. Version 2 does not exhibit this problem. I don't think this is by design but purely down to the way serial host checks work in v2. When a host goes into a soft down state in v2, Nagios cannot do anything else until it has completed all the retries or the host recovers so Nagios never gets the chance to mark the child host unreachable unless it reaches max_check_attempts and determines that the parent host really is down. The original poster of this problem made a good point that Nagios has all the tolerance built in to avoid false alarms on host checks but unfortunately this logic doesn't carry on through child hosts. I can't see that the current way v3 deals with parent/child problems as being desirable for most people, although it seems to have only bothered 2 of us! Thoughts? regards, Aidan -- Download Intel#174; Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.

This proved to be quite straightforward (except for sorting out the locking semantics in PHP - but that's another story). The only problem I'm having is that while the status reported in status.dat for services matches the output from the probe (0=OK,1=warn,2=crit,3=unknown) for hosts it seems to record a status of 0 for OK but 1 for critical (down). Is this the way its supposed to work? Or am I missing something? (Nagios 2.10) TIA C. AFAIK this is correct.

We are mirroring what our datacenter actually checks, so we have notifications turned off so when a site goes down we aren't being spammed by the datacenter and our nagios installation. The issue is that every once in awhile a string changes on the site so it goes critical in our nagios. We perhaps won't notice it for a day which messes up our availability reports. Is there a way to retroactively mark the time that it was critical as scheduled downtime? I'm not aware of any way to retrospectively schedule downtime but you could probably solve your problem by adjusting your checking procedure. Assuming you or a colleague has access to change the html on your websites, you could have a standard string of text that you add to all your websites so that Nagios is checking the same text on each site. Whenever a new site is added, just make sure that your standard text string is added and you will avoid this problem in the first place. hth Aidan - SF.Net email is sponsored by: The Future of Linux Business White Paper from Novell.

If Nagios determines the host is down, further service problem notifications are suppressed. However, I still get one or more notifications for the initial service problems. Wouldn’t Nagios suppress those initial service checks until at least one host check has been made? For illustration, I have a remote site with host parent/child relationships configured. If the site goes down, I get about 2 dozen service notifications from various child hosts before it realizes the top parent host is down and suppresses notifications for that site. I then receive the one host recovery along with the 2 dozen or so service recovery messages. I had hoped to not receive any service notifications in this scenario. Is this expected behavior? Thank you very much! Doug Tabb You shouldn't be seeing this behavior. The only time your should see this is if your services enter a hard state before the hosts.

When you say service notifications are suppressed what do you mean? Is there a configuration I can't see that's suppressing service notifications? It's something Nagios does by default. If a service check fails, it will check the host. If the host check fails, it will send out a host notification but suppress the service notification. By what you've said, I don't think that's your problem. I've noticed that you have used a lot of templates (inheritance) in your configs. You could try simplifying it but just setting up a contact, a contact group, a host, a service and a time period but don't use templates. If that basic test works the problem may lie with one of your templates. Aidan - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

Good grief, what on earth are you logging? I'm monitoring over 1000
hosts and 1600 services and my daily logs range between 600KB and
1.5MB. Can you post a snippet of your log (say a 15min span ) so we can
get an idea of what it is logging?
I'd love to see how your browser copes with viewing the daily log.

Hi.
I'm using NRPE to monitor a remote server.
The most part of the plugins works without problems, but
check_backuppc returns the error (No output returned from plugin) in

The check_backuppc stanza in the Nagios configuration is the following:
define service{

service_description BackupPC
check_command check_nrpe!check_backuppc
}
If I execute from the shell check_nrpe -H bakserver.blupixel.local -c
check_backuppc I correctly get the plugin's answer (BACKUPPC WARNING

Where is the problem?
Have you set up the command definition correctly in commands.cfg or
wherever you store your commands on your Nagios server. Also check that
Nagios has permission to execute the pluggin on the remote machine.
Test by re-trying your check_nrpe command logged on as nagios.

[Nagios-users] Severe peformance issue during major network outage
Hi, I have recently set up Nagios 2.8 and am monitoring 1623 hosts and 1946 services. Performance under normal circumstances is fine. Typical check and latency times are as follows: Monitoring Performance Service Check Execution Time:0.03 / 11.04 / 3.418 sec Service Check Latency: 0.00 / 1.87/ 0.479 sec Host Check Execution Time: 0.03 / 10.04 / 0.843 sec Host Check Latency: 0.00 / 0.00/ 0.000 sec # Active Host / Service Checks: 1623 / 1946 # Passive Host / Service Checks: 0 / 0 The vast majority of these hosts are spread over 320 geographic locations throughout the UK. These locations are connected to our data centre via a hardware VPN device with the majority (about 270) using a private ADSL circuit to facilitate the VPN connection. Yesterday, we had a major outage caused by the failure of one of the ADSL central routers at our ISP. This took out a third of our ADSL sites (roughly 90) for 16 minutes. Each of these sites has about 4 devices monitored by Nagios so in effect about 360 devices (hosts) went down in an instant. As you can imagine, we were aware of the problem almost immediately due to the barrage of phone calls from out clients, but unfortunately Nagios didn't even remotely reflect the current situation. I have used parent child relationships to the full so I was expecting a good portion of the VPN devices to show as down with all other devices behind the VPN device showing as unreachable. This was not the case. It actually took half an hour to find only 20 of these VPN devices down and another half an hour to notice that they were actually back up again having only noticed 20 of the 90 in the first place. During the outage, the service check latency was increasing exponentially and the performance stats half an hour after the start of the problem were as follows: Monitoring Performance Service Check Execution Time:0.03 / 11.04 / 3.646 sec Service Check Latency: 947.84 / 2080.05 / 1467.274 sec Host Check Execution Time: 0.03 / 10.04 / 0.968 sec Host Check Latency: 0.00 / 0.00/ 0.000 sec # Active Host / Service Checks: 1623 / 1946 # Passive Host / Service Checks: 0 / 0 As you can see, the average service check latency time has jumped to 1467 seconds (24 mins). On all of these hosts there is only one service which is a ping (check_ping -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$ -p 5). The host check is also a ping (check_ping -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w 3000.0,80% -c 5000.0,100% -p 1) but much faster with only 1 ping being sent out. The normal_check_interval on services is 5 mins with 2 max_check_attempts and a retry_interval of 1. The host also has a max_check_attempts of 2. A lot of people have mentioned using fping to speed things up but if my average service latency is only 0.479 seconds in normal circumstances, I can't see how tweaking this will help in a major outage situation. I have also read through the section on tweaking performance which seems to be geared toward protecting the machine Nagios is running on. I want to do the opposite and give Nagios a lot more work to do. The machine is dedicated to Nagios and is quite high spec. It's an IBM xServies 336 with 2 Dual Core processors and 4GB of RAM so it should be able to take a much bigger hit. I have been monitoring CPU performance with MRTG and the CPU performance never goes lower than 90% idle. Ironically during the problem, the machines idle time jumped to 95% when I would have expected to drop rather than increase. The only performance tweak I could see that would affect the performance in this situation is max_concurrent_checks but this is already set to 0. I am fairly new to Nagios (2 months) so I apologise if I have missed something obvious but any pointers to a solution to this problem would be greatly appreciated. I have run a nagios -s (attached below) which seems to indicate that everything is setup ok. Let me know if you require any more information from my config that would help diagnose the problem. regards, Aidan Nagios 2.8 Copyright (c) 1999-2007 Ethan Galstad (http://www.nagios.org) Last Modified: 03-08-2007 License: GPL Projected scheduling information for host and service checks is listed below.

This means that if you've configured check_ping to do (let's say) 5 pings, the check_ping plugin will always take at least 5 seconds to complete. If the check_ping is being run as a host check rather than a service check, my understanding is that this is the only thing Nagios will be doing; it doesn't do anything else concurrently (correct me if I'm wrong people). Correct. We noticed this some time ago too: http://altinity.blogs.com/ dotorg/2006/05/immediate_perfo.html If you do stick to using check_ping, use -p 1 which is sub second response time. First of all, thank-you for the replies! The majority of devices that I monitor are routers/vpn devices and I have (on the documentation's advice) not set active checks on the hosts and instead I've added check_ping as a service on each of these hosts to do 5 pings as follows: check_ping -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$ -p 5 For the host check I already use as you suggested a check_ping that only does one ping as follows: check_ping -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w 3000.0,80% -c 5000.0,100% -p 1 My understanding was that if the service check failed it would then abandon the service check altogether and move onto the host check which is only 1 ping. The fact that the service checks are parallelised should mean that it shouldn't matter that there are 5 pings and the host check is only 1 ping which should resolve the bottleneck of serialised host checks. I'm at a loss as to why performance has been impacted so severely. Maybe I need to abandon the service checks altogether and just have a host check. I'm reluctant to do this because I get very useful information from 5 pings, ie packet loss and high rta which is particularly handy for checking volatile links such as ADSL. Maybe that is the trade-off, fast host checking with no useful stats or slow host checking with useful stats. regards, Aidan - This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.

Just noticed this in your original email: Host Check Execution Time: 0.03 / 10.04 / 0.843 sec This means that some of your host checks are taking 10 seconds, which is, funnily enough, the timeout period for check_ping. So the -p 1 will still take 10 seconds if the routers are not responding. You can use a timeout flag for check_ping (but is only supported on some OSes). I guess check_icmp is a better bet here.
