In your examples from a few posts ago, you specify a *hostname*. In
your service description, an *IP address*. Does that make any difference?

Hi Palle,

OK, no problem.

To monitor the disk usage, run "ssh  df -kP" (assuming

passwordless login is set up), and process the output on the nagios

server itself. Similar, for other commands.

You want to have the opposite of what check_http.pl 
(http://www.nagiosexchange.org/cgi-bin/page.cgi?g=Detailed%2F1531.html;d=1 
 ) 
provides... If you're up to speed with perl, you could use the telnet

module to check some TCP ports and check for their ouput.

Great! I've always had nagios in /usr/local. And is also documented
in our installation documents. So, I (or we) prefer to have nagios
in /usr/local.

Which non-standard way? Oh, with regard to other tools... Or the docs
on nagios.org... And because there's more work involved (where is this
or that file located?), we keep nagios in a central place.

That guy needs to read our docs first... :-))). And when I store everything
in /usr/local/nagios, I don't have to hunt anything... ;-))

Just my $0,10, cu l8r, Edgar.

PS And /opt would be a suitable location also.

Hi Morton,

  according the documentation (http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/
objectdefinitions.html), check_period is mandatory for both hosts and
services! And thus, nagios should report an error in both occasions!

Sorry, cu l8r, Edgar.

  I have, some time ago. It's relatively easy to set up nagios so that
it stores the perf. data in RRD databases. But the problem lies in the
fact that all the performance counters in the brocade switches roll
over after having read or written 4e9 4byte words. So you have to
read-out the counters for each port every 2 to 5 minutes (depending on
the speed of the interface: 1Gb, 2Gb, 4Gb) and if you have a 16-port
FC-switch you have to contact it every 15 seconds. Not a problem if you
have a single switch, but if you have more than, let's say, 8, this will
put a serious load on nagios.
 
To solve this issue, I wrote a little tool that contacts the FC switches
every minute, retrieves the perf. counters and stores this data directly
into RRD databases (for every port in each switch one RRD db). But every
few minutes it will pass the data through nagios (needed to satisfy
GroundWork).
 
If needed, I can dig up this tool.
 
HTH, cu l8r, Edgar.

and here to nagios... Are both executables the same? And did you (and
I assume you did, but just to verify) specify "/etc/nagios3/nagios.cfg"
for "..."? If so, then I'm stumped, but it could also be a problem
with any of the CGIs. Do the nagios status and log files report any
monitoring activity of the nagios daemon? Or are there any errors in
those files?

With regards to the CGIs, what is the value of main_config_file in
/cgi.cfg? That should be
/etc/nagios3/nagios.cfg. And 
is normally "/etc/nagios", but can be changed during the ./configure
phase. Do a "strings //status.cgi | grep cgi.cfg" to verify
it's location.

  you are running nrpe as a deamon Take a look in the syslog

Here you are trying to setup inetd as well. You'll have to pick one

I guess that you've set up a VPN connection between you and your
customer? Not that this of any concern but just the way how I would
connect to customers. But you will have to use NAT to translate the
customer's IP addresses to a range in your own (private) address
space. Maybe even NAT twice: use another IP address range over the
VPN tunnel.

This is what we do (we monitor several customers) by adding @
to the hostname, e.g. d...@abc. We are in the process of setting up a
separate VM for each customer. This VM is either loaded in a "stepping
stone" server located at the customer or in our own (monitoring) DMZ.
Rationale behind this set up is separation between customers...

True, but as long as there are customers out there that have IPv4...

Re: [Nagios-users] NRPE mystery

[Edgar Matzinger]

Hi Farhan Ahmed,

  the only thing I can think of is that the exit codes aren't
propagated to the nagios server:

> [EMAIL PROTECTED]  /usr/local/sys/nrpe/libexec/check_users -w 2 
> -c 3 USERS CRITICAL - 11 users currently logged in |users=11;2;3;0
> 
> [EMAIL PROTECTED]  /usr/local/sys/nrpe/libexec/check_tcp -p 1250 
> Connection refused
> 

What are the exit codes of these checks? Should be 2.

> On Nagios Server:
> [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H asqstage 
> -c check_users USERS CRITICAL - 10 users currently logged in

And here? The exit codes should be 2 also.

Succes, cu l8r, Edgar.

[Nagios-users] Citrix checks

[Edgar Matzinger]

Fellow nagios users,
 
  I wonder how you would check several Citrix services. Like SMA, IMA,
Print Manager, WWW Publishing, licenses, etc. with nagios/nrpe? Port
checks? Are there any SNMP checks possible? I've seen some Citrix checks
on nagiosexchange.org, but they handle the checks mentioned above
Or are these services automatically by Microsoft Services? As you can
see, I'm neither a Microsoft admin nor citrix admin.
 
Thanks, regards, Edgar.

[Nagios-users] Any numbers on sizing a nagios server?

[Edgar Matzinger]

LS,
 
  I've searched the internet (maybe I look in the wrong places) but I
can't find any numbers on sizing a nagios server. Are there any numbers
out there amongst you and are you willing to share?
 
Thanks, regards, Edgar.

Re: [Nagios-users] SUPPORT FOR CONFIGURING NAGIOS WITH MYSQL DATABASETO STORE LOGAND DATA IN MYSQL

[Edgar Matzinger]

Hi Sanjeeb,

You can do this with ndo2db. With this tool data can be stored
on a different server than the one nagios is running on.

If you need it for reporting purposes only, use ndo2db. There
are probably some reporting tools available which can translate
the contents of the NDO database into a report. Otherwise you could
use a generic BI tool to generate such reports. Start with checking
the tables nagios_checkhosts and nagios_checkservices. A short
search didn't reveal any out-of-the-box solutions :-(

> So please advice what steps and what I will follow to

I don't have any experience with reporting from nagios. I do use
ndo2db for nagvis.

Sorry, cu l8r, Edgar.

  if you're talking about storing this information only, take a look
at ndo2db. If you need a frontend to configure nagios using a database
take a look at groundwork, lilac, centreon, et al.

Re: [Nagios-users] External Command File : command.cfg is notreferenced in Nagios v3.0.2 ... not for me anyways :)

[Edgar Matzinger]

Hi Chris,

> # EXTERNAL COMMAND FILE
> command_file=/etc/nagios/cluster_commands.cfg 
> 

  you have to use the directive cfg_file to include an additional config
file. The directive command_file is used to supply nagios with extra
commands to execute. A process (like the command CGI) writes into this
file (which is in fact a named pipe) to feed nagios with commands to
execute. See http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/extcommands.html for
more information.

HTH, cu l8r, Edgar.

  you have to specify in the contacts or contacts group the notification

Re: [Nagios-users] DISK UNKNOWN - free space

[Edgar Matzinger]

Hi Jake,
 
  you should use the mount points in the configuration, as in:
 
command[check_disk1]=/usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_disk -w 20% -c 10% -p /tmp
 
At the moment you have the disk device (OK, logical volume) configured.
