Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios Only Sending out Flapping Alerts
Hi Kevin, May you can attach the contactgroups and contacts config? Maybe you forgot the notification type for warning, critical and so on for the contacts? Regards from Hamburg Leif From: Goutos, Kevin [mailto:kgou...@libertymgt.com] Sent: Dienstag, 20. Oktober 2009 16:42 To: nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Nagios-users] Nagios Only Sending out Flapping Alerts Hello all, First off, I really appreciate any feedback you can provide. I've just recently started working with Nagios and everything is working great, except for notifications being sent out. I've been searching all over the net, comparing my configurations with others to see if there was anything noticeable I was missing, but I can't seem to find anything. I've included my configuration files below for you to look at. I have been able to send a mail from the server (CentOS 5.3) using sendmail. I can also successfully send Email using the E-mail commands in the commands.cfg file. [code]/usr/bin/mail %b * Nagios *\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\nHost: $HOSTNAME$\nState: $HOSTSTATE$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nInfo: $HOSTOUTPUT$\n\nDate/Time: $LONGDATETIME$\n | /bin/mail -s ** $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ Host Alert: $HOSTNAME$ is $HOSTSTATE$ ** $CONTACTEMAIL$ MY EMAIL ADDRESS[/code] Everything is being monitored correctly, just for some reason the E-mails are not being sent out. I should also note that if I do a Send custom host notification in nagios on a host that has a critical warning, I DO get an E-mail successfully. It's just not automatically sending them out. UPDATE: I do have some good news. I did receive a notification last night for a flapping alert. However, it still is not sending out alerts from being down, returning to up state, etc... [quote] [1255678430] SERVICE FLAPPING ALERT: AUSTIN-LAPTOP;CPU Load;STOPPED; Service appears to have stopped flapping (4.0% change 5.0% threshold) [1255678430] SERVICE NOTIFICATION: libertyadmins;AUSTIN-LAPTOP;CPU Load;FLAPPINGSTOP (CRITICAL);notify-service-by-email;No route to host[/quote] So it appears I'm receiving flapping alerts, but nothing else. In the Nagios web interface, if I go to Configuration -- ContactsI can see that under Service Notification Options and Host Configuration Options I only see Flapping, Downtime enabled. I'm not getting downtime alerts, but shouldn't there be more options there? Uptimeetc. Is there something obvious I am missing in the config files? I really appreciate the help, please let me know what you think. -- Come build with us! The BlackBerry(R) Developer Conference in SF, CA is the only developer event you need to attend this year.

Re: [Nagios-users] monitor windows service with $
\$DB works for me in the shell.
When I try to check service$$DB in nagios now, I get: Status Information:
service: Not found
So he ignores everything after and including the $.
Idea?

You didn't need to AFAIK.
I called it: /usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/msauxdb.sh and used it to check
things like MSSQL$BKUPEXEC
Nagios uses $ to interpret arguments to commands.
Note that he's running this from the shell directly. Nagios isn't
doing anything to it at all; no macro parsing etc... To prevent nagios
from trying to parse the $ as the start of a macro from within the
command{} definition, use $$ ('service$$DB' or 'MSSQL$$BKUPEXEC' in
your case).

Re: [Nagios-users] monitor windows service with $
Ok, I got the solution, just the ' was missing.
Now it looks like:
check_nt!SERVICESTATE! -l 'service$$DB'
and works :)
Thanks to all.

[Nagios-users] monitor windows service with $
Hi List, I currently configure the monitoring of some windows services. Just one service is having some problems. I looked in the registry for the real name of the service. It's like service$DB When I now try to check this service, I get the following: nag...@nagios:~ /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nt -H 10.2.30.190 -p 12489 -v SERVICESTATE -l service$DB service: Not found It looks like it cuts off everything behind the $.
