Re: [Nagios-users] smstools3 with nagios

Check your commands file, see if there you can find a difference, what's the 
directory smstools2/3 is pointing to, what is the command?

Hi all 



As many people to send sms with Nagios I usually use smstools2 , all is working 
fine. 



Now I am testing smstools3, I can send sms using command line (as root and 
Nagios user too), but Nagios program did not send any sms …. 

Are there differences in the configuration between smstools2 an smstools3 ?

Re: [Nagios-users] Notification Emails

2011-05-04 Thread Ennis Ibarra
Sorry to hear you upgraded to EX10, but what are you going to do right ? 

Yes, most likely your Ubuntu Server is using it's own MAILX to send emails, so 
my guess is that the mail routing is not hard-coded into any configuration 
within Ubuntu, probably you have a relay issue in your EX10 where your Nagios 
server massages are not allowed to relay, you may want to check on that. 

On the specific notification by email command that Nagios actually performs, 
you may want to verify if you have something like: 

command_line /usr/bin/printf %b * Nagios *\n\nNotification Type: 
$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\nHost: $HOSTNAME$\nState: $HOSTSTATE$\nAddress: 
$HOSTADDRESS$\nInfo: $HOSTOUTPUT$\n\nDate/Time: $LONGDATETIME$\n | 
/usr/bin/mailx -s ** $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ Host Alert: $HOSTNAME$ is $HOSTSTATE$ 
** $CONTACTEMAIL$ 

In such case, yes, your Nagios server is your MailX as well. 

If you'd like to use your EX10 to relay email directly, although I don't know 
how to configure that in EX10, you may want to change the command for something 
like: 

command_line /usr/bin/printf %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 $HOSTSTATE$ ** -S 
smtp=yourEX10.server.com $CONTACTEMAIL$ 

This way you'll use your EX10 to relay all the email generated by Nagios 
instead the local (to the Nagios box) MX, you can even turn off that service in 
your Ubuntu box, one less service to watch. 

Hope you find this useful.

Subject: [Nagios-users] Notification Emails 




Hello all! 



My company recently migrated to a new exchange email server (ex03 - ex10). 
Nagios has been up and running wonderfully in our environment for some while 
(was running when I started working here). 



I have discovered that the notification emails were being routed through the 
now nonexistent ex03 server in our network. Since we have taken that system 
down, we are now not getting any notification emails. 



From what I understand, and have been told – our Nagios installation was 
performed on Ubuntu, basically using the info I the quick-start install guide. 
As such, this should mean that the system is using mailx to send emails (as 
its own mail server) and thus simply using our internal MX records to route 
email to our mail server. Our MX record was updated on the day that we made 
the final server cutover, and it didn’t affect receiving email from Nagios. 





The question here is this: Is there somewhere within Nagios or the Ubuntu OS 
that I need to make a config change to route the notification email through the 
new internal mail server to the recipients? 



I know we are still ironing out some kinks in our new exchange system, so if 
there is not a configuration within Nagios/Ubuntu that affects this, I will 
continue the search for resolution through my exchange system. 



Thanks,

If it helps, do your tests through your Ubuntu command line, using nagios as 
your user with something like: 

echo TEST | mail -s This is a test -S smtp=EX10server.com 
yourem...@yourdomain.com 

When this is successful, chances are you nailed it. 

Good luck then.

Re: [Nagios-users] looking for hardware sensors

2011-03-03 Thread Ennis Ibarra
We've bought TemPageR from Avtech temperature sensors but they also have 
humidity an others, very inexpensive, they will try to sell you support an a 
console and what have you, you have that anyways for a year. The nice thing 
about these is that it has a RJ45 connection, don't know if they have wireless, 
but even a better thing is that they have a telnet backdoor which once you 
connect yourself into, throws the reading of the current sensors. We scripted 
an expect script to catch the telnet output and have that integrated with 
Nagios, works beautifully. 

Check it out, and if interested shoot me a Request for the scripts and I'll be 
glad to share them. Other options? Sure SMNP based, but quite expensive.

Re: [Nagios-users] Which GUI to configure Nagios 3 ?

2011-02-24 Thread Ennis Ibarra
My two cents: 

Once you lock up your configuration to a given tool, then you stick with the 
tool capabilities to configure stuff. The real power is understanding the 
Nagios structure and files, leave the GUIs for presentation only. 

That's just my experience though, but yet again, maybe you want to configure in 
such standard non-changed way that you can adapt to a given tool, but if you 
are at least part of the implementing team in your environment, I think this is 
a great opportunity to get your feet wet and actually do it the GUI-free way. 

Good luck.

You may want to consider a unified SYSLOG in a linux box for your windows 
machines an build your own plugins, this not only cuts off the stress on the 
windows side but allows you quite a bit of freedom in processing logging. It's 
just an idea, we are doing it over here, and we've had great results.

Hey folks, 

 

 I have been beating my head against various and sundry walls, 

tables, and desks for quite some time now, and my brain is starting 

to get very, VERY mushy. 

 

 I need to monitor Windows event logs. You'd think this would 

be easy, but either the tools available out there don't work (which 

I doubt, I KNOW you monitor event logs), or I'm man enough to admit 

that I'm a hopeless idiot. 

 

 I've tried to get help on the 3rd-party sites (Steve 

Shipway's site for Nagios EventLog Service and NSClient++), but 

they're either away from their desks for an extended period of 

time or I've just plain worn them out and they're no longer answering 

my questions. 

 

 I beg of you; if you use either of these tools and *successfuly* 

monitor Windows event logs, please give me a hand. I apologize for 

the length of this email, but this is my last stand - if I cannot 

get event log monitoring working, this entire project may get 

scrapped. 



Benny, 



This is probably overkill for your situation but you could use Splunk 

to watch event logs (and other logs) via saved searches and then 

have it notify Nagios when it spots something. We do this here as 

Splunk just has more smarts about dealing with events/logs/matches 

within certain time windows. But as I say, it IS more overhead than 

the other solutions you cite.

Re: [Nagios-users] check_disk question Nagios

What are you familiar with? Perl, BASH ? If you want to give it a try, use 
http://debianclusters.cs.uni.edu/index.php/Creating_Your_Own_Nagios_Plugin it 
was very handy for me, and the previous suggestion about check_by_ssh is also 
handy. 

Go crazy mate and good luck.

 I have installed nagios on server1. Without installing NRPE on the Server2 , 
 would it possible to use the check_disk to monitor the space on server2. 
 Thanks 
 for the help 

Investigate the 'check_by_ssh' plugin that comes with the nagios-plugins.

Re: [Nagios-users] check_nt: Could not parse arguments

2008-01-30 Thread Ennis Ibarra
What's your version of nsclient installed in the windows side ?   How's
your NSC.ini configured if you're using nsclient++?

  the -l is not needed since it is in the check command
 
 I also tried with and without the -l
 
  
 
 Unfortunately did this not work either, any other suggestions?

 Hi, 
 
 
  
 
 
 To help clarify, -s is for the password while $ARG1$ was missing from
 the orriginal command causing the missing ARGUMENT error
 
 
 THe Hostname is needed since the plugin does not know what host it is
 without that.
 
 
 the port in this case is needed since check_nt.c compiles with the
 default port of 1248
 
 
 the -l is not needed since it is in the check command
 
 
  
 
 
 define command{
 command_namecheck_nt_cpu
 $USER1$/check_nt -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -p 12489 -s $USER7$  $ARG1$
 }

 Morning all,
 
  
 
 I am having an issue with adding cpuload monitoring on windows
 machines.
 
 I know there are no issues on the windows side since I have other
 services being monitored with no problems.
 
 Also the error message tells me the arguments that are specified are
 not correct.
 
 I have google'd, and checked the Nagios documentation and tried
 different ways, but non works.
 
 And this is were I am at now. Could anyone look this over and tell me
 what is wrong?
 
 - Error: check_nt: Could not parse arguments
 
  
 
 - Check command definition:
 
  
 
 define command{
 
 command_namecheck_nt_cpu
 
 command_line$USER1$/check_nt -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -p 12489 -s

[Nagios-users] APC or Triplite links anyone ?

2008-01-30 Thread Ennis Ibarra
Can anybody point me to a decent howto or some example on how to setup
and use check_apc_ups.pl plugin for APC UPSs?

Or options to monitor APCs and Triplite UPSs if you have found any
that's worth checking.

Any help is appreciated.
