What is the difference in the volume of activity on those servers , it 
could be that you found an  issue related the the amount of checks or 
traffic generated to the the log.

If the internal log rotation is faulty - have you considered using 
logrotate as a dirty hack to fix your issue ?

Re: [Nagios-users] service escalations

Hi - can someone confirm if the following scenario regards service 
escalations is correct?


I have a service check that simply performs a TCP check, if it fails 
it will email the contact with a defined notification_interval of 5mins.


I also have a serviceescalation defined as follows:

define serviceescalation{
hostgroup_name  desktopsnahisservers
service_description DESKTOP SNA SERVICE TCP 4097
first_notification  3
last_notification   0
notification_interval   5
contactsme_at_home
}

If the TCP check continues to fail the service escalation contact 
starts to get alerts but the actual contact for the defined service 
doesn't.


Is this behaviour to be expected?

As a solution I've simply added the defined service contact to also be 
a contact under the serviceescalation section as well.


I'm running Nagios 3.4.3.

Thanks - Julian.

Escalations are added and expand the capability of notifications , when 
the escalation logics is activated the normal notification logic is 
"suspended" and the escalation is the way nagios is processing the alerts.


So if after the 3rd alert only the escalation alert is received - then 
the logic is working as it should .

Does the plugin docs say it can ?

If a feature is not documented for a plugin  , then the chances are it

have you looked at the monitoring exchange for a plugin that actually

for same host dependency you do not need to specify the dependent host.
also make sure that the names are exact to the services checked.

can you see anything on the nrpe side ?

when you are testing , are you running it as the nagios user or as root?

Where are you passing the parameters to the eventhandler in your command 
definition ?

What plugin are you using ? it could be that the text returned from the 
check includes the Critical string but the execution exit code is 0 and 
hence translated as OK by nagios .

Why don't you want Nagios to check if the host is up?

You can use the check dummy plugin as the host check command and
never check the host but then you will defeat the logic that
Nagios uses when a service goes down to force check the host and
supress the service notifications till it comes back up and
everything gets rechecked.

you can use check_ssh or check that the nrpe deamon is running as the 
"host" check, since if either one of those is not responding you have 
some issue that require intervention .

You can use a distributed setup (read docs on that) which is similar to

You can use the same command defined for the service to be the 
check_command for the server.


version 3 has changes significlly from version 3 and also has some of 
the configuration directives.


you should read the updated docs on the changes and on the new 
configuration.

The name pnp sort of gave that away , but  since he is using two 
templates to define the host , and one might override definitions , then

Re: [Nagios-users] Host seemingly not following escalation rules

[Assaf Flatto]

And what is "host-pnp" ???

Hello all,

I have a number of host objects that are sending notifications 
continuously (down notification every half hour for the duration of

to locate whatever is causing the set of hosts to not follow the 
escalation rules.  It is a group of sites that are all members of the 
same host group, and use the same template.


Below are the bits of config info pertaining to one individual host, 
it's template, contact group, host escalation and host group.  If 
anyone could take a glance at it, to see if I'm missing something on 
why this set of hosts isn't following my escalation rules; or if you 
could point me towards something else that I need to look at, that'd 
be awesome. (for what it's worth, all of my other host escalation

Re: [Nagios-users] check_mbean_collector cannot create socket

[Assaf Flatto]

On what IP is port 5566 listening ?

Localhost is usually defined as 127.0.0.1   and most programs do not 
listen on the loop-back device .

also for more accurate testing - always test as the nagios user not as root.

Can you specify the exact branch to check out ?

Re: [Nagios-users] strange behavior disabling checks

Where did you set the directive ? in a template or in the individual 
service ?


Can you share the relevant configuration data ?

Hi all

Sometime happen that when I set "active_checks_enabled  0" in a

The server still executes the check.

It is very strange, because I use several Nagios servers since 2003 
and it is the first time for me with this problem


Any idea ?

I also want performance data as I have just started using PNP4Nagios.

I have looked at Webinject but this uses its own graphing tool

So 2 questions:

1.Is there a plugin available that does all I need above?

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios Variables

[Assaf Flatto]

The marco's are internal to nagios and will not be read from an external 
text file .


there is a way to make nagios macros available to external commands ( 
look for "macros" in the nagios.cfg file)


But what you are trying to do with the message.txt file will fail to 
work as the SendEmail script most likely do not have access to the 
nagios internal macros and there for will not expand them .

Re: [Nagios-users] Differentiate receivers based on alert severity?

[Assaf Flatto]

Correction , you can not specify an email address in the service def.

you will need to create a contact and then define the contact in the 
server :


contacts foo

or if he is part of a group

contact_group  Faa

but you specify the service notifications as

notification_options w,c

and in the contact definition you say which statuses it will alert on .

On 30/07/12 13:22, vishesh kumar wrote:

No , I think in same service definition , you can write

Re: [Nagios-users] Differentiate receivers based on alert severity?

[Assaf Flatto]

Yes , you can use two different contacts , one that has only warning , 
and the other only for critical .

Re: [Nagios-users] How to deal with hosts that are not always on

[Assaf Flatto]

If a host i down in known time period ,than create a new time period for 
that host to be monitored and exclude it from the 24x7 default time 
definition.

you can also put your hosts in scheduled downtime - this will still show 
as faults on the CGI , but for reporting it will not have any impact as 
it is " deliberate downtime"

i have found that some time NSCA becomes stale on the server side and a

Also , are you writing to the syslog ? if so check the log size and if

did you check the nsca log file ( usually syslog ) ?

One thing I found to help with performance with NDO was to make sure the 
DB is trimmed on a regular basis .
tables timedevents, services , logentries and other ones grow very fast 
to large size and nagios is having trouble writing to the DB if the 
table is larger the 450MB .

since i was using the NDO for nagviz the data was mostly not needed so i 
used to truncate those tables.

If you do use the DB , replicate it to a secondary DB and use that as 
your queries master .and trim the one nagios writes to , but make sure 
that if the trimming is done , the data is not removed from the 
replicated server.

Re: [Nagios-users] High Service Check Latency

[Assaf Flatto]

NDO and a large DB cause an issue to the nagios core that is causing 
high latency and can bring nagios to halt.
If you are also running a performance gathering solution it can 
contribute to the hight latency .

Re: [Nagios-users] Proper use of escalation_options

Greetings!

Nagios 3.2.3, running on CentOS.  I have two service escalations setup:

define serviceescalation{
servicegroup_name   noncritical
first_notification  1
last_notification   0
notification_interval   10
escalation_options  w,r
contactgroups   Group1
}

define serviceescalation{
servicegroup_name   noncritical
first_notification  1
last_notification   0
notification_interval   10
escalation_options  c,u,r
contactgroups   Group2
}

What I want to do is have all WARNINGS and associated RECOVERYs go to 
Group1, while all CRITICAL and UNKNOWNs and associated RECOVERYs go to 
group2.


For the problem alerts, works great, each group only gets what is 
defined.  But both Group1 and Group2 get all RECOVERY notifications, 
even for problem notifications they don't.


Is there a way to achieve what I want?

Many Thanks!


As is written in the documentation , recoveries will be send to those 
that have all ready been notified about the issue regardless of it's 
current status.


So if the status went from OK  to Warning then to Critical , those in 
Warning  and Critical groups will get the recovery notification.

Instead of trying to monitor the task itself , we monitored the event 
log to the output of the task itself , granted it was a while back and 
the windows platform was 2000 server , so things might have changed 
since then, but that might be a work around for you .

You may want to look on the nagiosexchange site :

if these match what you need I am not sure , but they might give you a 
hint on how to go on checking what you want.

Also how many issue does your system has that are un handled that nagios

Re: [Nagios-users] Exclude Notifications during certian hours

[Assaf Flatto]

1) Create a time period that excludes the hours you do not want to be 
monitoring those hosts.
2) assign those hosts to a host group
3) assign a ping test with the modified timeperiod to those hosts .

[Nagios-users] [SPAM] Re: Issue with distributed Host checks

[Assaf Flatto]

You can try and remove the

active_checks_enabled1

from the host config , the fact that it is enabled make nagios see the 
change and then trigger the active check which will be the 2nd status 
update ( from up to down) and hence make it a hard state .

if you do not trigger the active check , the master nagios will log the 
status change and then wait for the worker's next update.

Of course the wget will not work .
register 0 tells nagios not to display the group in the WebUI ( it does 
more , but currently that is the relevant part) and as you are trying to 
access the data via a HTTP request , the item in question is not passed 
to the web provider (apache) and there for not coming up for a wget request.

You can add to the service declaration

host_name !linux-server

That will tell nagios to exclude the execution of that service on that host.

Re: [Nagios-users] ndomod: Still unable to connect to data sink

[Assaf Flatto]

Can you provide some information about your configuration , it might 
shed some light on your problem?


Is the data base active ?
did you specify the scheme as specified in the NDO documentation ?

As a result, the database is not updating the values, and therefore my "nagios

luck.

Any hint?

Re: [Nagios-users] check_nt : segmentation fault

[Assaf Flatto]

Please tell me that the nagios version is a typo.

if not , you should upgrade to version 3 , and the sooner the better .
Since check_nt is communicating with windows server was there any change 
on the MS platforms ?
Did you compile the chdck_nt for the old machine , and just copied across ?

Re: [Nagios-users] Basic Question: Apache needed on client ?

[Assaf Flatto]

The Web interface to view the "live" status of the monitored networks.

from a functionality wise - nagios will continue to work even with out 
the apache server , though i would not advise doing it like that unless 
you are very confident in your nagios skills and are sure every 
definition you'll add will work as desired at the first go.

Hi all 

Normally, you have to install nrpe in the clients and then Nagios server query

Is there the possibility to communicate with the client only when there are

Re: [Nagios-users] servicedependencies not working

[Assaf Flatto]

Dan

Even for the same host dependencies you still need to define a host in the 
servicedependency definitions.
At the moment your servicedependency (the one you pasted here) is not 
associated with any host and hence the logic is not implemented on any host 
testing logic.

Subject: [Nagios-users] servicedependencies not working


I’ve started playing with making a bunch of dependencies and at first it 
appeared to be working, right now I’ve got a pretty basic test setup. I’ve 
added one service to be dependent on the other one, but it seems that the 
freshness might be mucking with it. Two services below:


define service {
service_description base_log_checks
servicegroups base_service_group
hostgroup_name base_windows_2003
use generic-passive-service
check_freshness 1
freshness_threshold 3600
check_command service_is_
}

define service {
service_description nagios_cron
servicegroups base_service_group
hostgroup_name base_windows_2003
use generic-passive-service
check_freshness 1
freshness_threshold 3000
check_command service_is_stale
}

define servicedependency {
service_description nagios_cron
dependent_service_description base_log_checks
execution_failure_criteria w,u,c
notification_failure_criteria w,u,c
inherits_parent 1
}

What appears to happen is that I kill nsclient so nagios_cron starts reporting 
“stale” at 3000 seconds, and the same for base_log_checks shortly after. Then 
about every hour I get more “stale” soft alerts, and then after the third try 
it goes to a HARD alert and I still get a ticket, though I’m not sure why it’s 
even checking if execution should be disable when nagios_cron is in a warning 
state. But not only does the active checks (service_is_stale) get executed but 
I’m also still getting notifications sent after 3 attempts, so it doesn’t 
really appear to be doing anything. Unfortunately right now these servers are 
so busy it’s hard to put them in debug mode. Have I missed something obvious 
with these?

Hi Folks,

as I am still a newbie with nagios but willing to learn, I hope you
wont mind if my upcoming question might sound silly to you.

I read that to monitor windows servers that I should find a
windows.cfg file in ~/objects/

Well I dont have neither a directory called objects nor such a file.
In /usr/share/doc/nagios3-common/examples/template-object/ I found a
windows.cfg file.

So, is it okay for nagios to simply create a directory ~/objects/ and
copy the windows.cfg file in there? Or what do I have to do?

As said before, I am new to nagios and I am running a debian wheetzy
with nagios 3.2.3

Thanks for your time and help

I've had a similar situation in one of my projects ,and it is solvable 
in one of 2 methods :
1 ) if you NAT server is a linux box - use the nrpe on that box to 
"trigger " the checks to all other boxes in the network and send back to 
the Nagios box.
2) Port forwarding - assign each machine a port and configure the host 
with the custom macro _NRPEPORT and thus the firewall send a query on 
the port to the assigned hosts in the NAT listing .

Subject: [Nagios-users] nagios and nsclient++ wont work

Hi there,

I guess that here are alot users who have made it working...Nagios on
a debian system to monitor a Win2003 Standard Server.

For testing purposes both machines are virtualized, the Debian is in a
VirtualBox and the W2K3Std Server is virtualized with VmWare. I'm just
saying that to be as precise as somehow possible.

So, I downloaded the latest stable nsclient++ on the W2K3 from
sourceforge, as it is suggested. I walked through the install process
as stated in the Reference Manual, but the nsclient seems to be
misconfigured, because I get errors once I run nsclient++ /test.
Neither do I get the Systray Icon in the systray. I said nsclient++
Systray install to get it installed and there the client didn't
complain about whatsoever. And the nsclient doesnt complain once I
start him, but as said the /test option shows errors:

Re: [Nagios-users] Can you add custom commands to the 2 standard "notify-host-by-xxx" and "notify-service-by-xxx" commands?

[Assaf Flatto]

You can build a new contact group that is gets alert only from this commands .

Or you can split the templates and build a new one that uses this alerting for 
the new service .

You need to think of the process of the alerts and define what alerts to send .

I know many people think that adding new (insert nagios item ) is trouble , but 
i found that if some thing "breaks" my conventions or is an exemption , it is 
best to "build" the templates for it and make it modular - as it is most likely 
will happen again , and that way you'll have the definition ready .

Subject: [Nagios-users] Can you add custom commands to the 2 standard 
"notify-host-by-xxx" and "notify-service-by-xxx" commands?



Hi all.

Is it possible to add your own custom commands to add to the 2 standard notify 
commands?

At the moment I have

# 'notify-host-by-email' command definition
define command{
command_name notify-host-by-email
command_line /usr/bin/printf "%b" "* Nagios says its broken 
*\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\n\n$HOSTOUTPUT$\n\nHost: 
$HOSTNAME$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nState: $HOSTSTATE$\n\nDate/Time: 
$LONGDATETIME$" | /usr/bin/mail -s "** $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ Host Alert: 
$HOSTNAME$ is $HOSTSTATE$ **" $CONTACTEMAIL$
}

# 'notify-service-by-email' command definition
define command{
command_name notify-service-by-email
command_line /usr/bin/printf "%b" "* Nagios says its broken 
*\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\n\nInfo :$SERVICEOUTPUT$\n\n 
Service: $SERVICEDESC$\nHost: $HOSTALIAS$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nState: 
$SERVICESTATE$\n\nDate/Time: $LONGDATETIME$" | /usr/bin/mail -s "** 
$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ Service Alert: $HOSTALIAS$ is $SERVICESTATE$ **" 
$CONTACTEMAIL$
}

This is fine for the hosts that I manage by PING.

Now I have started to manage my websites for both availability and also to 
navigate through the site using 2 separate scripts.

Id like separate notifications for the website checks as id like to add more 
text into the subject line.

For eg if 1 of my sites has an issues and 1 of the pages it navigates for is 
not available or returns something different to what it should id like:

# 'notify-website-service-by-email' command definition
define command{
command_name notify-website-service-by-email
command_line /usr/bin/printf "%b" "* Nagios says its broken 
*\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\n\nInfo :$SERVICEOUTPUT$\n\n 
Service: $SERVICEDESC$\nHost: $HOSTALIAS$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nState: 
$SERVICESTATE$\n\nDate/Time: $LONGDATETIME$" | /usr/bin/mail -s "** 
$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ Service Alert: Website content cannot be found at 
$HOSTALIAS$ and is in a $SERVICESTATE$ state**" $CONTACTEMAIL$
}

But if I create this and add it to my Critical website template which tells it 
to to email the admin email contact group which has me and another admin in it 
then its going to send both the original “notify-service-by-email” and the new 
“notify-website-service-by-email

Any way I can get around this.

Apologies if it’s a really simple answer by the way….

Thankyou

Re: [Nagios-users] How to limit the amout of SMS notifications?

[Assaf Flatto]

Hi

Have you looked at service escalations ?
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/nagioscore/3/en/objectdefinitions.html#serviceescalation

This might give you the tool to limit the amount of alerts to send .

Subject: [Nagios-users] How to limit the amout of SMS notifications?



Hi all,

I have Nagios 3.3.1 setup on Ubuntu Desktop 11.04.

I monitor approx. 70 hosts (mixture of Windows Servers, Switches, Firewalls) by 
PING only.

Down hosts are notified to me via email and SMS at the moment.

What I would like to so is limit the amount of SMS messages that are sent from 
my Nokia phone connected to my Ubuntu box.

As it stands I allow 3 checks 1 minute apart before I am alerted via email – 
after that I am alerted via email every 5 minutes until recovery.

I have just implemented the phone to SMS alerts aswell but I want to limit the 
amount of texts as I don’t want a text every 5 minutes until recovery for 
sanity reasons and also cost reasons!

This is what I would like to happen If a host goes down:

Email and SMS to be sent out on the 3 rd failed check to the host (So 1 st 
alert is sent out after 3 minutes of the host being down.)

Then……

I want to be alerted via email every 5 minutes until the host recovers

But……

I only want 2 more SMS after the initial SMS, 5 minutes apart and then no more 
SMS until the host is recovered. So I want an SMS after 3, 8 and 13 minutes of 
the host being down, then a recovery SMS.

Is this possible?

Thanks in advance




Kind Regards
Andrew

Re: [Nagios-users] check service frequency based on service status

[Assaf Flatto]

What you need is an event handler combined with the external commands

Take a look at the documentation  about those two topics .

Re: [Nagios-users] Alert Notification

[Assaf Flatto]

Not in nagios , you can write a wrapper or a cron job that does a copy 
of the old and new config and alerts about changes.

The short answer is , Yes .

if you share your configuration we might also be able to give tips and 
pointers on what needs to be modified.

Are you sure the NRPE is referencing the same command you are using 
manually ?

check the path in the nrpe.cfg file.

Re: [Nagios-users] ./check_tcp: No such file or directory

[Assaf Flatto]

If you installed the plugins from a source  , one of the stages was 
"make install"
That stage (usually the last one) places the plugins in the target 
directory ( if you did not change anything during the "configure" state 
, it will be in /usr/local/nagios/libexec )

So the steps are easy , IF you used source , go to the directory where 
the source package was extracted to , and in the directory type "make 
install"  - that's it .

however if you installed from RPM , then you'll need to reinstall the 
nagios-plugins rpm ( see the yjm /rpm man pages for that .

from what your title say you are getting the error when trying to 
execute the file locally and fail .
Are you sure the file was copied successfully ?
If you installed the plugins from source you can go the the source code 
directory and do "make install" and it place the plugins in the 
directory again .

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios monitor Windows diskspace

[Assaf Flatto]

Change the command to be :

check_command check_nt!USEDDISKSPACE!-l c -w 80 -c 90

(drop the ":\")

I once build a solution similar to that (sans the mysql ) that used rsync .

I used to make the modification for a site on the central server and 
then send via rsync the files to the remote machines , this will also 
trigger another script on each remote machine that changed the 
service/host definition from passive to active (simpel sed or perl will 
to it) , do a check ( nagios -v) and reload ( if any errors found in the 
nagios -v stage it would mail the IT team and exit )

The error you specify has nothing to do with nagios ,but with the apache 
configuration .

Nagios may be running on your system , but the web server configuration 
has not gone well.
read this :
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/nagioscore/3/en/quickstart-ubuntu.html

and make sure that you have done those steps.

I can see three factors that may contribute to the problem :
check_interval , notification_interval , enable_notification ( those are 
on the nagios application ) .
beside that , are you seeing any mails stuck in the mailq of the 
sendmail relay ? are you able to sent any email from that machine at all ?
you are saying nagios is unable to detect the UP/DOWN status of the 
nodes/hosts , are there any firewalls along the way? is the routing 
table properly setup ? do you allow ICMP  replyies from the nodes ?

When viewing the hostgroups you'll see two names , the alias and the 
actual name you gave the hostgroup , if you choose the actual name 
you'll get a list of commands for the group , in there you will have a 
command to disable notifications for all services , when you select hat 
you will have a check box to do the same for the hosts  , if you make 
sure that it is unchecked , you will disable notifications for the 
services but not for the hosts .

What you are asking is not a part of nagios , but you can write an 
external script that goes of over the status.dat and gets the data you 
need , it will not be an easy task as you'll need to account for time 
diff ,specific string match and  file position  .

Nagios 1.4.1 ? that is almost prehistoric version , why are you using 
such an old version of nagios ?

try installing a more up-to-date version , that will be a first good step .

The basic way is to do this over nrpe ,
you need to make sure that nrpe ios complied with the command-args 
option and then you can pass the parameter you want to the script  you 
want to trigger .

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios from master/slave to chained configuration

[Assaf Flatto]

Let me get this right , you want the slave to report to a master , but 
that master is a "pass-through" slave to another server which is the 
final master ?

Why not just send to the final master and the other server as an easier 
way ?

You can add the send line in the send_nsca script to submit the data to 
another server and that way you get the data on both servers , and 
adding the other slaves to the final server is not that complicated .

When you configure the service , you define event handlers , you can 
create a service definition for each host and service , so you can 
exclude any host or service from running the event handler .

example :
define service {
  hostgroups WEB
  host_name !web1 , !web2
  ...
  eventhandler   change_dns
}


this will cause the service and event handler to work on all hosts in 
the WEB hostgroup excluding the web1 and web2 servers.

hope this helps .

Hello and Welcome.

For distributed nagios you want to start here
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/distributed.html

The main point that you will need to know is that in order for the 
central nagios to see the hosts monitored by the worker , the definition 
of the remote monitored hosts need to also be on the central nagios ( 
defined as passive checks and hosts) .

Nagios currently has no way of "detecting "the "child" hosts of the 
worker and adding them to it's configuration , there for they have to be 
defined on both servers ( with minor changes : active/passive) .

First thing - try running the script as the nagios user , this might 
give you more information about why it fails .

if memory serves me right , this script is calling some system calls 
that run in a root privileges  space so you may need to sudo the script 
to make it run properly.

As Nagios XI is the commercial application and this user list is for the

That being said - nagios the free product runs well on SLES , but assume 
nothing , as again as XI is the commercial app - it could be that the 
license and support only work as described in the web and info given.

have you enabled the passive checks in the nagios.cfg ?
by default is it set to 0 - which is disabled
accept_passive_service_checks=0


also have you enabled external commands :
check_external_commands=1

also to help to debug it more you may want to the options:
log_external_commands=1
log_passive_checks=0

plus - have the nagios.debug file enabled - and make sure to add the 
external commands to the output - that might give you more information.

Hello

I have used two of this option :DNX and NSCA , and in the end , due to 
network restrictions had to use the NSCA to monitor the remote sites.
DNX is a good option if all your workers and target hosts are on the 
same LAN - as the DNX module does not have a "host affinity" logic which 
means any host will check any other host , and if it can't reach it - 
nagios will get the critical error alert for it .
NSCA gives you the ability to monitor a remote site "locally" with a 
nagios on the site LAN and report it back to the main central server 
with a more fine grained testing , but a bit more overhead in management.

About the DNX issue - you may want to check the mod_gearman 
http://labs.consol.de/lang/de/nagios/mod-gearman/
as it is better designed to a distributed nagios deployment .

On "cabot" check the time out definition in the nrpe.cfg of the daemon , 
that may be the reason for the 30 sec time out.

Change it to the time you want and restart the NRPE .
