Re: [Nagios-users] low-cost snmp-enabled temperature sensor?
I really like the 1-wire sensors. They are really small, really inexpensive, and really easy to connect together. What makes them useful for your question is this $100 unit that provides an Ethernet bridge. http://www.edsproducts.com/OW-SERVER--1-Wire-to-Ethernet-Server_p_152.html You get SNMP access to the devices, or if you'd rather an HTTP hosted XML document that will give you readings from all the sensors on the network. Don't be mislead by the 3 1-wire ports, each of those can support a seperate 1-wire network with many sensors. I'm getting alot of my 1-wire sensors from iButtonLink: http://www.ibuttonlink.com/ We have alot of the T-Sense sensors for $15 each. -- Oracle to DB2 Conversion Guide: Learn learn about native support for PL/SQL, new data types, scalar functions, improved concurrency, built-in packages, OCI, SQL*Plus, data movement tools, best practices and more. http://p.sf.net/sfu/oracle-sfdev2dev ___ 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
Re: [Nagios-users] Active and Passive checks of the same service
Taylor So a nice round-about way of doing it would be to disable Taylor active checks on the service initially. Then when your Taylor passive check script detects a problem, not only does it send Taylor nagios a passive check RESULT, but it also sends a command to Taylor enable active checks on that service. Then your active check Taylor script, when it determines the problem has resolved itself, Taylor could also send nagios itself a command to disable active Taylor checks on that service. Fun way to do it. Fun Clearly a word with many meanings. :) Thanks for the tip, I never considered that approach. I'll give it a shot. - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100url=/ ___ 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
Re: [Nagios-users] Notifications via CDMA
Thomas Sure. If you can afford a second monitoring server in a Thomas different location that will do it though... I.e. monitoring Thomas your monitoring server. This is a good idea anyway, and we have a Nagios install at our colocation facility monitoring our main facility, and vice versa. It makes good sense anyway. But I'm still using SMTP to an external service to send notifications. It usually works fine, but not always. (We have a service we sell sending text messages to several different providers for several hundred users for events (unrelated to Nagios) and on the order of 3-5 percent of these are bounced back from the SMTP service of the provider. While our success rate for IXO/TAP delivery is in excess of 99.5%. Thomas There's also many services that monitor your network from the Thomas outside world - they could be useful too. Right, but I'd like to keep it in house. - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

[Nagios-users] Notifications via CDMA
I'm a Verizon customer in North Dakota (United States) and the only cell network available to us is CDMA. (Just in the last 6 months did we get EVDO.) Right now we use a modem and dial in to the IXO/TAP number for Verizon. This works, but I'm concerned about how long Verizon will maintain a IXO/TAP terminal. (And as a minor point, messages sent via the IXO/TAP terminal are counted as out of network messages by Verizon.) I've been looking around for a way of delivering notifications directly via a wireless modem. If we had GSM service it seems that this is a very easy thing: get smstools3 and one of any of a number of GSM modems. I was wondering if anybody had suggestions for accomplishing this with Verizon and their CDMA network. I've found the MultiTech CDMA MultiModem (MTCBA-C-N3-NAM) but no software to drive it. (We run Nagios on FreeBSD.) And from what I can tell you can't send messages on a CDMA network anywhere as easily as you can with GSM. - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

Re: [Nagios-users] Notifications via CDMA
Doug I've been looking around for a way of delivering notifications Doug directly via a wireless [CDMA] modem. If we had GSM service it Doug seems that this is a very easy thing: get smstools3 and one of Doug any of a number of GSM modems. Thomas Can't you just send an email to some special address of your Thomas provider? Thomas Every phone I ever came across were able to receive SMS trough Thomas email, both in US and Canada. Well, that works great unless the notification I'm trying to send out is that my Internet service is down. Then I need an out of band means of sending the notification. - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

Re: [Nagios-users] Problems with FreeBSD and Nagios
Michael Skimming the (long) discussion thread, my first thought is to Michael try libthr instead of libkse. The discussion seems to be on Michael 5.x, I'd definitely try libthr on 6.x. Check libmap.conf for Michael details. The following entry in /etc/libmap.conf has, for us, solved the issue of run away Nagios processes. [nagios] libpthread.so.2 libthr.so.2 libpthread.so libthr.so This is on FreeBSD 6.2. - 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.
