RE: [Nagios-users] Tracking MySQL threads?
Nagios plugins are just scripts.
Write a bash script (or your favorite language) to do something like:
#!/bin/bash
/usr/local/Nagios/libexec/check_mysql -H mysql_host -u read_only -p
ro_passwd | grep Threads | awk "{ print $4 }"
Etc.
Then you can just put into your check commands in your configuration file.
Let me know if that makes sense.

RE: [Nagios-users] POLL: nagios integration with other tools
We've done little integration, except automatically building the configuration scripts based upon hosts in a database. It is likely we will integrate with Zope soon.

RE: [Nagios-users] Monitoring a mail server
Depending upon what you want to check, there are many solutions. I'm not familiar with Amavisd, so I can't say for certain. However it seems that you may to look at: check_smtp, check_mailq, check_proc, and check_tcp (among others). You can even write your own quickly. I'm not sure I understand, but check_tcp will notify you if it is down. > > >I want to monitor Amavisd on localhost port 10024 with check_tcp, but if > > Amavisd is down, the notification will not make it.

RE: [Nagios-users] Question about Nagios configuration
Title: Question about Nagios configuration No. Just install the plug-ins – you can even build the ones you like separately (some of them, like mysql, require libraries you probably don’t have). From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kannberg, Andy Sent: Thursday, January 26, 2006 2:05 AM To: 'nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net' Subject: [Nagios-users] Question about Nagios configuration Hi all, I'm confused about my Nagios configuration. My Nagios monitoring host is Linux (Slackware ) box. All clients I need to monitor are Tru64 boxes. So, I was able to compile NRPE on the Tru64 boxes, but it appears I need all plugins locally on the system. So I want to install the standard plugins pack (nagios-plugins-1.4.2.tar), but the README tells me it expects nagios to be installed. Do I need to install Nagios on all clients also ? best regards, Andy Kannberg
RE: [Nagios-users] Question about Linux Distros
We use Debian across the board - Debian is of course very much a philosophy as well as an OS. In my experience Red Hat tends to be bleeding edge and not very Posix or Standards compliant, although it will have all the latest software and packages. Debian tends to be slightly out of date in its packages and only tends to allow very very stable products into the distribution and the packages must follow very strict guidelines on where things are installed. Debian is frustrating at times because of its rather Nazi like policy, but at the same time I know if it's on Debian it is going to be rock solid, secure, and easy to maintain. Specific Pros (relating to Nagios): * Easy to install * Integrates easily with Apache with minimal effort * OS and security upgrades occur easily without disrupting nagios * Not bleeding edge * The Clean OS design makes it easy to figure out what is being monitored and the actual state when problems arise. Cons: * Not all the latest plugins - I only found this to be a problem in one case, with check_mysql. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Sand Philipp Sent: Friday, January 13, 2006 5:42 AM To: nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: AW: [Nagios-users] Question about Linux Distros We run Nagios on Fedora Core 2 without any Problems so far...

Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] check_http
Easiest way would probably be to just hack on check_http.c to suit
your needs (search for HTTP OK) and then recompile and copy the
executable to your libexec folder. A more convoluted way would be to
write a script (sh or perl) that execs check_http and then passes the
output through a stream editor and exits with the same exit code as
check_http. You would need to make a new checkcommand, maybe:
define command{
command_namecheck_http_formatted
command_line $USER1$/check_http_formatted.sh $ARG1$
$ARG2$
$ARG3$ $USER1$
}
and then for check_http_formatted.sh something like:
#!/bin/bash
output=`$4/check_http -H $1 -w $2 -c $3`
exitcode=$?
echo $output | sed -e 's/HTTP/$1 HTTP/'
exit($exitcode)

RE: [Nagios-users] check_mysql
We do this a lot. Where is the mysql server relative to the nagios server? Would NRPE be an option? We used to do SSH and find NRPE better because of the passwords issue. We used to due key authethentication to by pass the passwords with SSH if you still want to go that way. We have also used “expect”.

In particular, our nagios machines network, likes to loose subnets on occassion, resulting in notifications that hosts are down a network restart kicks it all back into gear, and we are doing that on a cron every hour or so. It would be much more efficient if after the first time the host is found to be down (before any notification) to try a network restart, therefore getting everything back online and no false notifications sent.
