Subject: [Nagios-users] low-cost snmp-enabled temperature sensor?

Can anyone recommend a low-cost external temperature sensor that doesn't
require the buyer to break out a soldering iron?

Preferably it would be SNMP-enabled so I can poll it from anything.
Power-over-ethernet would be great too.

The least expensive snmp-enabled sensor I've found so far is this one at
195 USD:
http://avtech.com/Products/Temperature_Monitors/TemPageR_3E.htm

I've also noted probes like this one at 15 USD:
http://www.ibuttonlink.com/t-sense.aspx

...but the systems in the site where I'd hook this up are all Windows, so
I'm not sure how I'd get from there into Nagios.

Re: [Nagios-users] Check RAID Script

[Duncan Berriman]

Can't help there as never had that sort of config.

I guess you can use hpacucli to query the shelf so it should just be a
matter of adapting the script to suit (there may already be an option in the
script).

On a simple raid controller direct to disks you get something like following
as a response.

RAID OK: Smart Array 5i in Slot 0 array A logicaldrive 1 (33.9 GB, RAID 1+0,
OK) array B logicaldrive 2 (16.9 GB, RAID 1+0, OK) array C logicaldrive 3
(67.8 GB, RAID 1+0, OK)

Thanks, I was also looking for something like this, but:

maintain:/usr/lib/nagios/plugins# ./check_cciss -v RAID OK:  [Controller
Status: OK Cache Status: OK Battery Status: OK Controller Status: OK Cache
Status: Not Configured Battery Status: OK] maintain:/usr/lib/nagios/plugins#

Smart Array 6400  (sn: P57820R9SS32WO)

As the MSA20 is connected to the P6400 this one does not have disks directly
connected.

So is it guaranteed that both controllers are checked?
How can I configure which to check?

Re: [Nagios-users] different notification_intervals by contact

[Duncan Berriman]

Escalations are a little pesky to get working correctly.

 

Here is an example.

 

define serviceescalation{

host_name   .*

service_description .*

first_notification  1

last_notification   0

notification_interval   60

contact_groups  admins

escalation_period   24x7

escalation_options  w,u,c,r

}

 

define serviceescalation{

host_name   .*

servicegroup_name
disks,dns,firewall,load,mailq,processes,sendmail,ssh,time

first_notification  2

last_notification   2

notification_interval   60

contact_groups  support

escalation_period   24x7

escalation_options  w,u,c,r

}

 

define hostescalation{

host_name   .*

first_notification  1

last_notification   0

notification_interval   60

contact_groups  admins

escalation_period   24x7

escalation_options  d,u,r

}

 

define hostescalation{

host_name   .*

first_notification  2

last_notification   2

notification_interval   60

contact_groups  support

escalation_period   24x7

escalation_options  d,u,r

}

 

This alerts admins after the interval set on the host/service (5 mins) and
then every hour. On the second alert (5+60 mins) it will alert support (for
the services listed) just the once but then continue to alert admins every
hour.

 

At least that's what I think happens, I'm never sure with esculations!

 

For this to work I had to enable regular expressions and set up service
groups.

 

I have a feeling I also removed the following from my hosts definitions as
well.

 

contact_groups admins

notification_interval 30

notification_period 24x7

notification_options d,r

 

Hope that helps and gives you some ideas.

 

Duncan

Subject: [Nagios-users] different notification_intervals by contact

 

So we're setting up some Nagios checks for a new team and they're asking for
something new that I'm not really sure we can do with Nagios.   For any
production alerts they want to receive pager alerts every 15 minutes and
e-mail alerts every 60 minutes.  Since each host/service definition has only
a single notification_interval setting and contact definitions don't allow a
notification_interval setting, I don't see how this can be done within that
context.

 

We don't currently use escalations for anything, but I've been staring at
them and trying to figure out how that might work for us.  In terms of using
escalations to solve this problem I'm struck by several issues:

 

- I'd be trying to use escalations to setup an indefinite pattern, not a
system where there's an last_notification where everyone gets the
notifications.

- I have to do this for a lot of hosts/services and it doesn't look like I
can wildcard service_descriptions (tried it and it failed).

 

My other thought is to just have 2 checks for the same service where check A
has the 15-minute notification_interval and goes to pagers and check B has a
1-hour notification_interval and goes to e-mail.  And that's for a lot of
services.  I can't really do the duplicate checks on hosts.  But either way,
you know, "yuck".

 

I keep thinking there's some easier more obvious solution that's eluding me
to this.  Is something that anyone else has solved?  I'm inclined to tell
them that we can't do this and get them to unify on one
notification_interval like everyone else, but before I do, I thought I'd
ask.

 

 

Thanks

 

Mark

Re: [Nagios-users] SMS Foxbox

[Duncan Berriman]

Just a note about volume, that is standard for any sim based device as it is
in effect the same as sending them via a phone and each message takes a few
seconds to send. You could set up a bank of gsm modems like the maestro eco
100 with software of your choice to get round this (even your own software
as it is pretty easy to  do).

As Mark points out an external gateway is a good alternative (like aql.com,
clickatell), perhaps using that for most messages and using the fox box for
messages when your internet connectivity fails.

Hi Rutger,

I originally demoed the SMS FoxBox while working at Nagios Enterprises in
2007.  My original integration attempt was written up on the wiki
http://wiki.nagios.org/index.php/ACME_SYSTEMS_SMSFoxBox.  The device is a
small embedded linux server that takes a SIM card and has a external
antenna.  *It is very important that it has cell (GSM) reception.  Also my
knowledge of the device is now a few years old.

My experience was that it worked very well.  It has the limitation that it
can only send one message at a time (one GSM modem).  My script from the
wiki page used the web api, where you use a web address to send the message
body and recipient.  This was only able to handle a few requests before it
overwhelmed the small web server.  I later created another script that
uploaded messages to a spool directory on the device (using SCP).  This was
able to handle a large number of messages but it takes a long time for the
device to process messages.  I would say if you have over 20 notification
recipients you may want to look for an alternative.  There are web services
that handle these requests (AlarmTilt) or many people now use email
addresses provided by cell providers that text phones
(http://www.emailtextmessages.com/).

I hope that this helps you out.  Good luck in your quest!

Re: [Nagios-users] re-notification problem

[Duncan Berriman]

Escalations take over from contacts so your contacts won't be re-advised as
far as I know.

 

By my understanding (which is limited as I've only just implemented
escalations recently) you need to ensure your contacts are included in your
escalations.

[Nagios-users] re-notification problem

 






Dear community, 

I just noticed that my system (Nagios 3.2.0) don't re-notify the
contacts.However it sends notification to escalation contacts. 
So what id does is that it sends first notification to the host contact then
after next 4 hours it sends notification to escalation contact and keep
sending every 4 hours. 
As far as I know, if the notification interval is 240 minutes and first
escalation is triggered after 2 notifications are sent to the host contact
then the escalation contact should get first notification after 480 minutes.
Correct? 

My setup: 
First notification to the contacts --> re-notify after 4 hours - re-notify
after 4 hours and and send escalation to leader 

Service template: 

define service { 
  name  Service group 1 
  service_description   24x7,3,10,2

  check_freshness   0 
  flap_detection_enabled0 
  notification_interval 240 
  notification_period   24x7

Re: [Nagios-users] Wildcards in hostgroup definitions

[Duncan Berriman]

Looks ok to me  - my test was

define hostgroup{
hostgroup_name  ALL-SERVERS ; The name of the hostgroup
alias  ALL-SERVERS ; The name of the hostgroup
hostgroup_members .*
}

That parses ok but I end up with nothing in the group when I look at the
nagios display.

If I use individual members it works and they appear in the nagios display.

Looks like it doesn't work at any rate. 

I just upgrade to the latest version as I was having issues with wildcards
but I think that was more down to my understanding. I've been trying to use
them for escalations. I think I finally got there (I think - time will tell)
but I had to add a lot of service groups to make it work the way I wanted.

Hi all -

Got a mystery regarding the use of regex matching that I hope someone on the
listserv might clear.  We have the appropriate config options to use regex,
and 
it works just fine for the members directive - ie. "members.*" expands
just
as we'd expect.  

But "hostgroup_members.*" returns an error along the lines of "Could not

find member group '.*' specified in hostgroup", leading us to believe
that Nagios is simply ignoring regex matching for the hostgroup_members
directive. 
Anyone know if we're off our rockers, or if Nagios really does handle things
this way?

Thanks,

Re: [Nagios-users] Wildcards in hostgroup definitions

[Duncan Berriman]

Hi Erik,

Appears to work just fine for me if I am testing your case correctly.

Perhaps you could post the config file (or snip of) that's causing the
issue.

Subject: [Nagios-users] Wildcards in hostgroup definitions

Hi all -

Got a mystery regarding the use of regex matching that I hope someone on the
listserv might clear.  We have the appropriate config options to use regex,
and 
it works just fine for the members directive - ie. "members.*" expands
just 
as we'd expect.  

But "hostgroup_members.*" returns an error along the lines of "Could not

find member group '.*' specified in hostgroup", leading us to believe
that Nagios is simply ignoring regex matching for the hostgroup_members
directive. 
 Anyone know if we're off our rockers, or if Nagios really does handle
things this way?

Thanks,
Erik Larkin

[Nagios-users] Wildcard Escalations

[Duncan Berriman]

Hi,

 

There seems to be some issues with Service Escalations and wildcards.

 

If you use wildcards on hosts every host has to have a service associated
with it otherwise the configuration does not validate.

 

Example

 

define serviceescalation{

host_name   .*

service_description .*

first_notification  1

last_notification   99

notification_interval   60

contact_groups  admins

escalation_period   24x7

escalation_options  w,u,c,r

}

 

Causes 

 

Error: Could not find a service matching host name 'pix' and description
'.*'

 

I got round that by creating a dummy service for items like firewalls and
routers which have no service as below.

 

define service{

use generic-service

# Hostname of remote system

host_name pix

service_description dummy

is_volatile 0

check_period 24x7

max_check_attempts 1

normal_check_interval 5

retry_check_interval 1

check_command check-dummy

}

 

Now I am trying to use wildcards on the service names within the
escalations, the validation fails on any host that does not have a service
that matches the wildcard.

 

define serviceescalation{

host_name   .*

service_description .*Bandwidth.*

first_notification  2

last_notification   2

notification_interval   60

contact_groups  support

escalation_period   24x7

escalation_options  w,u,c,r

}

 

Causes

 

Error: Could not find a service matching host name 'pix' and description
'.*Bandwidth.*

 

Why when a wildcard is in use should every host have to have a service and
every host have to have a service matching the wildcard? It makes no sense
(to me at least).

Is this a bug or is it designed to work this way? 

 

Is there any way to turn off these checks as they appear to me at least
incorrect and pointless?

 

Thanks

Duncan
