Re: [Nagios-users] Reg: glibc and openssl
Can you post your /etc/xinetd.d/nrpe? Are you using tcp wrappers? Are you now getting the SSL error from both localhost and Nagios server? Can you run an lsof|grep nrpe to confirm that nrpe is listening and under the control of xinetd? (Sorry for the top post...I need a better mail client...Outlook totally stinks at the reply thing. Looking for a replacement now.). Robert C.

Basic troubleshooting like verifying that NRPE is running on the machine, that it actually runs under the new glibc? Does netstat show it listening? Does nrpe debug mode show anything interesting? Is nrpe running as a daemon or from (x)inetd? Have you verified that configuration in either case? If run from xinetd, is xinetd running? Depending on the version differences, those could be non-trivial upgrades and may require a re-compilation of nrpe on that machine. Of course, I'm assuming that you are talking about nrpe. If not, please be more specific. -- Marc > Thanks and Regards > G. Mohan Kumar > Senior Systems Engineer > ...should know better... - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

[Nagios-users] Solaris 10 SMF, Getting NRPE to run as user nagios
I have NRPE running on Solaris 10 SPARC under SMF, but the only way I could get it to run as user nagios is if I set SUID on the nrpe executable. This is the output inetadm -l svc:/network/nrpe/tcp:default SCOPENAME=VALUE name="nrpe" endpoint_type="stream" proto="tcp" isrpc=FALSE wait=FALSE exec="/usr/local/nagios/bin/nrpe -c /usr/local/nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg -i" arg0="/usr/local/nagios/bin/nrpe" user="nagios" default bind_addr="" default bind_fail_max=-1 default bind_fail_interval=-1 default max_con_rate=-1 default max_copies=-1 default con_rate_offline=-1 default failrate_cnt=40 default failrate_interval=60 default inherit_env=TRUE default tcp_trace=FALSE default tcp_wrappers=FALSE user="nagios" , but if I don't do the SUID I get in the system log: nrpe[10222]: [ID 306117 auth.error] Error: NRPE daemon cannot be run as user/group root! I've searched the web and the archives to no avail. Does anyone have experience running NRPE under SMF? Any concerns about running it SUID? Thanks so much. Robert C.

It seems the Solaris options for ar are different than GNU's. I think configure didn't detect the correct 'ar', and set the Makefile path for it to 'false'. Hence the confusion. I installed GNU binutils from Sunfreeware.com and re-ran the config, it works fine.

[Nagios-users] Best way to manage host-specific thresholds?
Group,
I am trying to wrap my head around the best way to manage things like ping
RTA/packet loss, partition free space warn/critical, cpu/memory use, etc. I
can set these up using custom object variables for a host template, and
reference them via macros in the command definition. If I need a different
setting for a particular host, I can override these inherited values in that
host's config. check_nrpe throws a bit of a wrench in this - I'd probably need
a different command set up for each item I'd like to check via NRPE. Does it
sound like I'm on the right track?
Another item I'm struggling with is how to monitor partitions easily. I can
check all filesystems by just passing "/" as the argument. This makes it easy
since I don't care what the separate partitions are - if there is /var, /usr,
and so on these will automatically be checked. One problem is that if any one
of these exceeds the threshold, the notification will occur, even if all the
others are fine. I am trying to avoid having to set up a service for each
partition on each host. Any thoughts on this? I'd rather use Nagios for this
rather than something like Vertias Volume Manager's space monitoring.
My generic host template:
define host{
namegeneric-host; The name of this host
template
notifications_enabled 1 ; Host notifications
are enabled
event_handler_enabled 1 ; Host event handler is
enabled
flap_detection_enabled 1 ; Flap detection is
enabled
failure_prediction_enabled 1 ; Failure prediction is
enabled
process_perf_data 1 ; Process performance
data
retain_status_information 1 ; Retain status
information across program restarts
retain_nonstatus_information1 ; Retain non-status
information across program restarts
notification_period 24x7; Send host
notifications at any time
register0 ; DONT REGISTER THIS
DEFINITION - ITS NOT A REAL HOST, JUST A TEMPLATE!
#Default threshold variables
#check_ping
_PING-RTA-W 50 ;Round Trip Average Warn
_PING-RTA-C 100;Round Trip Average Crit
_PING-PL-W 10%;Packet Loss Warn
_PING-PL-C 20%;Packet Loss Crit
_PING-PKT5 ;Packet count
}
My check_ping command:
define command{
command_namecheck_ping
command_line$USER1$/check_ping -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w

[Nagios-users] Variable References in host/service definitions?
Is it possible to reference variables anywhere other than in commands?
That is, in within host and service definitions?
e.g.
define host{
namegeneric-host
...
register0
#Default threshold vars
#check_ping
_WARNRTA100
_CRITRTA500
_WARNPL 20%
_CRITPL 60%
define service{
use generic-service
hostgroup_name linux-servers
service_description PING
check_command
check_ping!$_HOSTWARNRTA$!$_HOSTWARNPL$!$_HOSTCRITRTA$!$_HOSTCRITPL$
}
define command{
command_namecheck_ping
command_line$USER1$/check_ping -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w
$ARG1$,$ARG2$ -c $ARG3$,$ARG4$ -p 5
}
If this doesn't work, is there another way to pass a value to $ARGn$ without
changing the command definition to use the _HOST macros directly?
Are macros (and env variables) the only way to reference variables?
I hope this makes sense. Thanks.

[Nagios-users] Custom Variables in Hostgroups?
Group, It doesn't seem that I can put custom vars into hostgroups to apply to all members. Would a template be the correct place for these? I am trying to set up variables for default thresholds for service checks (like RTA and packet loss for check_ping) that could be overridden in the individual host definitions.

Re: [Nagios-users] Adding a CFG file for virtual machines

Sent: Wednesday, December 05, 2007 12:04 PM
To: nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net
Subject: [Nagios-users] Adding a CFG file for virtual machines
I would like to add a separate group within Nagios for my virtual machines. I
created a file called virtual.cfg and changed the HOST GROUP DEFINITION to the
following:
Define hostgroup {
hostgroup_namevirtual-servers ; the name of the
hostgroup
alias Virtual Servers ; long name of
the group
}
For each host definition, the 'use' statement is as follows:
Use virtual-servers ; Inherit default values from a template
In the nagios.cfg file, I have added the following statement:
Cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/virtual.cfg
When I verify the configuration files, I get the following error:
Error: Template 'virtual-servers' specified in host definition could not be not
found (config file '/usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/virtual.cfg'. starting on
line 39
I think I am missing a step or two to include this new cfg file. Any help
would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike

I am putting hosts into hostgroups in the host definitions like this:

define host{

will inherit all variables that are defined
; in (or inherited by)
the linux-server host template definition.

Re: [Nagios-users] Centralizing NRPE Configuration
True, the nrpe config will be generic, and will only have to push nrpe.cfg when I add new commands. I just wanted to know what tools were out there, in case things get more complicated in the future. I have a monitored box configured the way I want it, I will probably just tar /usr/local/nagios, /usr/lib/nrpe, etc. and make a package to install on other servers that appends a line to /etc/services and copies the nrpe file into /etc/xinetd.d.

Why not just have one global nrpe config that you have on all hosts though? This is way easier to manage and maintain. You just make up different check command names for very specific things. This also simplifies things incredibly and means you could never lose your config, unless all your nrpe holding servers burned down along with your svn server and all your backups. -h -- Hari Sekhon CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This e-mail may contain information that is privileged, confidential or otherwise protected from disclosure.

This works swimmingly for me, but then I do love bash and I wrote quite a bit to install nrpe, configure the environment by checking /etc/services etc and push the config over. If you are a wizz in Bash then this is excellent. I can redeploy all configurations to all servers with just one command. There is also cfengine, but I didn't bother with this. Even if you're not a Bash wizz, then just a few lines to scp and possibly restart daemon (although I use xinetd to limit the source of the request to the nagios server for extra protection so I don't even have to do that). -h -- Hari Sekhon CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This e-mail may contain information that is privileged, confidential or otherwise protected from disclosure.

I've never done it, but I just thought of it when you mentioned centralizing it.

Robert, Affecting the apache user will affect *all* instances of apache in our infrastructure (regular website, as well as BackupPC's apache, etc). I know this seems like a broken setup -- it is. :) We're in planning phases for better machine user/group management, but creating a one-off machine in terms of users/groups is difficult at the moment because the flat files are automatically spawned by some, err... "feature challenged" scripts. I'm pushing hard to get this changed, but for now, I can't change change a user's group membership without it affecting that on every machine. I realize I could remedy this situation by running apache as www-data:nagios on our nagios server, but my question isn't so much about making it work -- it's about whether nagios is broken in the way that it deals with creating its command pipe or whether I've over looked something (a bug vs. my poor brain, if you will).

Re: [Nagios-users] Centralizing NRPE Configuration
I had ran across cfengine when looking to manage Kickstart configs. I will definitely give it a look. I'm sure we have a use for it elsewhere. Thank you. Robert C.

[Nagios-users] Centralizing NRPE Configuration
Does anyone have any suggestions on a way to centralize NRPE configs? I suppose I can push (rsync, scp, whatever) my nrpe.cfg from the Nagios server if I need to add any commands. Is there a better way to manage this? I'd like the Nagios server to be a central point of configuration. I am using nrpe's --enable-command-args option and passing parameters via check_nrpe, so once the monitored host has the nrpe.cfg, there wouldn't be much to do there. Robert C.

Re: [Nagios-users] Bad group on cmd pipe after restart.
-Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kevin Scott Sumner Sent: Monday, November 26, 2007 4:36 PM To: nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Nagios-users] Bad group on cmd pipe after restart. Hi all, I've got nagios 3.0b6 running on Debian/etch with Debian's default Apache. Apache runs as www-data:www-data. Nagios runs as nagios:www-data, set this way via nagios.cfg's nagios_group command. In /etc/passwd, nagios has the default group of nagios. (Confusing, I know, but I'm trying not to stray too far away from the Debian norm.) When I restart nagios, the command pipe ends up with the group nagios, not www-data, as I specified in the config. I'm confident in saying that it's nagios that does this, not the init script. Is this by design or an oversight? If by design, what have I overlooked or not understood? Thanks! Kevin - Kevin Sumner [EMAIL PROTECTED] (919) 962-6494 Assistant Systems Administrator Physics and Astronomy Networking Infrastructure and Computing University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill - Kevin, Just out of curiosity, why not run Nagios as nagios:nagios? On my setup, the apache user is a member of the nagios group. Maybe yours is using the nagios user's default group? Robert C.
