with check_logfiles you can define special cases (criticalexceptions) which
do not count even if they match in the first place.
As you see from the performance data miscerrors_lines=5 5 lines of the
messages-file were scanned.
The last match is shown in the 1st line of the plugin's output.
With the option --report long you get the complete list of all matched
lines.
(2 errors in check_logfiles.protocol-2009-12-03-17-34-46) means, the matched
lines were also written in a protocol file for later analysis. This can be
switched off with --noprotocol.

You find the plugin at http://labs.consol.de/nagios/check_logfiles

Gerhard

Re: [Nagios-users] Check_oracle_health plugin error

[Gerhard Lausser]

Hi Marc,

if DBD::Oracle has been installed correctly, then maybe your LD_LIBRARY_PATH
does not include the directory where Oracle's libclntsh.so resides.
In order to run check_oracle_health you must have a working environment with
ORACLE_HOME, TNS_ADMIN,...

Re: [Nagios-users] Check_oracle_health plugin error

[Gerhard Lausser]

Hi Chetan,
 
looks like your tar command isn't able to handle filenames longer than 100
characters. (I think SuSE has this problem)
So when you unpacked the tar archive, not all of the files inside were
extracted. Please download the .shar.gz file and extract it with
sh check_oracle_health-1.6.2.shar.gz

Re: [Nagios-users] Tomcat Monitoring?

[Gerhard Lausser]

Hi Daniel,
 
you might have a look at http://www.jmx4perl.org
It's a small war-file which handles all the Java stuff and exports
everything JMX through a restful HTTP interface.
On the Nagios side you have a perl module JMX::Jmx4Perl and the plugin
check_jmx4perl.
We use it to monitor heapsize, thread created/sec, active threads,
filedescriptors, bytesrcvd/sent ...
The advantage over check_jmx is, you have 1. no need for Java on the client
side, 2. one solution for every type of app server, 3. the possibility to
measure increase/sec

Can anyone tell me if there are any best practices on monitoring Tomcat

Re: [Nagios-users] pnp4nagios or nagiosgraph?

Hi,

i recommend pnp. Integration in Nagios is very simple and you get the graphs
immediately. Nevertheless you can design the look of the graphs individually
with the template mechanism.

Re: [Nagios-users] Monitoring HP Hardware - NRPE/NSCA on Windows

[Gerhard Lausser]

Hi Curtis,
 
with http://www.consol.com/opensource/nagios/check-hpasm you have two
possibilities
local (linux): the plugin runs on the HP and parses the output of the
hpasmcli command
remote (linux,windows): the plugin runs on the Nagios server and uses SNMP
 
In both cases you need to install the hpasm RPM or the Windows Insight
Management Agents.

What is the best method for doing this.  I would prefer to have some sort of
script that parses information on the remote host on HP hardware.  I have
found a few that use SNMP but I'm not sure how that works with NRPE/NSCA.
For Dell hardware I use check_dell.exe from http://www.itefix.no
 .  Anything similar would be great.

Re: [Nagios-users] check windows file?

[Gerhard Lausser]

Hi Dave,

you might try http://www.consol.com/opensource/nagios/check-logfiles
You call it with
check_logfiles --logfile path_to_your_file --criticalpatterns
"whatever_you_consider_an_error_message"
If the file doesn't exists, you will get at least an UNKNOWN, although you
can add program the plugin so it will return a CRITICAL if the file is
missing.

Re: [Nagios-users] How do I monitor a specific log message?

[Gerhard Lausser]

Hi Estevao,
 
on this page http://www.consol.com/opensource/nagios/check-logfiles you will
a lot of documentation and a download link for check_logfiles.exe. This
plugin was written to search patterns in files. It will run on your Windows
server, so you don't have to export a share with the logfile.

Betreff: [Nagios-users] How do I monitor a specific log message?


Hi there folks,

I'm having a hard time trying to figure out how to solve this. 

I have nagio 3.01 running ok on a debian etch install.

I have a Windows Server 2k who runs an important software for my company and
it has a routine to run a .bat file an log the progress on a .txt file on my
windows machine (Using Nsclient++ and check_nt so far). 

On this .txt file I need to monitor this message 

10/05/2006 02:40:03 Não existe header.000335 

[day] [hour] [info] 


I need nagios to monitor this log file and turns service critical as soon as
it finds this specific message.

How on earth can I do this? 

I'm very clueless about this on... 

Some good soul here could point me the way? 


Thanks a lot!

Hi,

check_multi @ http://my-plugin.de/wiki/projects/check_multi/start might be
an option.
It has a configuration file where you can put all the single check_http

Re: [Nagios-users] Monitor nagios running on a different server

[Gerhard Lausser]

Hi,
 
did you google for check_nagios?
"This plugin checks the status of the Nagios process on the local machine
The plugin will check to make sure the Nagios status log is no older than
the number of minutes specified by the expires option.
It also checks the process table for a process matching the command
argument."

Betreff: [Nagios-users] Monitor nagios running on a different server


Hi, 
 
We have a nagios monitoring system for Production systems installed on
prodservmon1.  We want to include monitoring of this in our nagios
monitoring for our corporate systems.  Simply put, we want to monitor nagios
service running on prodservmon1. 
 
I've been googling but I haven't find anything.  Kindly advise on how to do
this. 
 
 
 
Thanks!

Re: [Nagios-users] how can i monitor a application using nagios

[Gerhard Lausser]

The best way to do this is to write a plugin
check_application_is_running_well_balanced. Either there is already such a
plugin or you have to write it on your own. The code of the plugin depends
strongly on your application. It needs to find out wether the application is
running well balanced or not.
That's all i can offer, because i don't even know the name of this
aplication.

But if you plan to change releases often and play around a lot, then i would
also prefer to compile a nagios installation for each instance.

Hello

 

Is there anyone who can tell me if it is possible to run more than one

This could be very handy to have different nagios installations for
different customers.

Re: [Nagios-users] check_hpasm error

[Gerhard Lausser]

Hi Tom,


> UNKNOWN - hanging hpasmdcli processes
check_hpasm executes the hpasmcli command which connects to the hpasmd
daemon. If this daemon becomes unresponsive, hpasmcli just hangs. The next
run of check_hpasm detects this hanging process and exits with the above
error message. It would not make sense for the plugin to continue, as
another hpasmcli would also hang. I don't know the reason why the daemon
stops responding. Maybe an update of the system BIOS helps. In case of such
an alert the only known workaround is to restart hpasm with
/etc/init.d/hpasm restart.

Re: [Nagios-users] Automatic Report Generation

[Gerhard Lausser]

Create a report manually and when you click on the "Generate Availability
Report!" button keep an eye on the apache logfile. Then take that url from
the logfile (something with ./avail.cgi?).
In a small script you can get the raw html of the report at any time with
wget --output-document=report.html 

Then you can convert the html file with this:
http://search.cpan.org/~autrijus/PDF-FromHTML-0.08/script/html2pdf.pl

With the mutt mailer you can send a mail with an attachment

#! /bin/bash
wget --output-document=report.html 
html2pdf.pl report.html > report.pdf
mutt -s "report" -a report.pdf [EMAIL PROTECTED]
rm report.html report.pdf

This is not the exact solution, i just wrote it down without trying it.

Re: [Nagios-users] check_logfiles documentation

[Gerhard Lausser]

Hi, 

> CRITICAL -(17 errors, 1 warning) - [4/17/08 13:51:42:420 EDT] 0037
Jay is right, the code is sprintf "%s - %s...", so there _must_ be a space
after the hyphen. 
Besides that, the nagios servide definition is a bit special (there is no
need for a command check_nrpe_log. call it check_nrpe because you want to
use it not only for check_logfiles), but it should work.

Login at rflx01app and make 
touch /tmp/check_logfiles; tail -f /tmp/check_logfiles

As long as this file exists, check_logfiles writes debugging information in
it. So you can watch, wether check_logfiles is executed at all when running
under Nagios control.
What we need to find out is, wether check_logfiles runs and produces output
which nagios doesn't accept (which would be strange, because it works when
you call check_nrpe manually) or if the error happens even before check_nrpe
is executed. Can you also have a look at the nagios.log?

Re: [Nagios-users] check_logfiles documentation

[Gerhard Lausser]

Hi guys,

i just explained it to Victor in private mail, but this seems to be a FAQ.

> > OK - no errors or warning|websphere_lines=0 websphere_warnings=0 
  ^^
  ^^
.._lines=0 means that _no_ lines were scanned for patterns at all.
Why? First, because check_logfiles only examines lines which were appended
to the logfile since the last run. And second, if you run check_logfiles for
the very first time, it does not start searching from the beginning of the
file. It only initializes itself by positioning at the end-of-file.
This was necessary to avoid alerts caused by very old error messages in the
logfile.
 

> check_logfiles... and if not, carefully double check that 
> filename argument (and hang a bug against check_logfiles; 'I 
> can't find that log file' probably ought to be an error 
> condition; at least as a different status return (WARNING - 
> logfile not found).
This message already exists:
$ check_logfiles --logfile=/var/log/schmarrn.log --criticalpattern=kaas
UNKNOWN - (1 unknown in check_logfiles.protocol-2008-04-17-19-32-10) - could
not find logfile /var/log/schmarrn.log |default_lines=0 default_warnings=0
default_criticals=0 default_unknowns=1

(There is the option "nologfilenocry" which can be set in a
configurationfile. With this option, a missing logfile is silently
tolerated).

Re: [Nagios-users] Checking contents of a file on MS Windows

[Gerhard Lausser]

Hi Mark,
 
maybe this http://www.consol.com/opensource/nagios/check-logfiles is what
you're looking for. You tell the plugin the logfile and the patterns you
expect and it raises an alert if one of the patterns was appended to the
logfile since the last run. It is also possible to go the other way round.
You tell the plugin which pattern you expect to find (e.g. backup succeeded)
and it alerts if no such pattern appears.

Betreff: [Nagios-users] Checking contents of a file on MS Windows



So I have run across one for which I can't figure out a starting point. We
are using Tivoli to backup our farm including databases. For the most part
this is easy to monitor as we can just monitor Tivoli. However the database
backups are not scheduled through Tivoli but rather in their respective DBs
as scheduled procedures. (I am not a DBA so forgive me if my language on
that piece is off). The only actual method for determining the success or
failure of these backups is a log file on the Windows server. We are using
SNMP for all our Windows monitoring at the moment but are open to other
solutions. I need to be able to access this file, grep out the date and
status, and process those results for Nagios. Does anyone know of a simple
way to do this and if not then does anyone know of a complicated method? I
am not locked into to any solution and would be willing to use active or
passive checks, snmp, nc_net, or any other solution. Thanks in advance for
any replies or advice.

i think you mixed up these parameters. Open the file configure.in and search
for "ac_cv_ps_command". In the following lines you will find some examples. 
Btw, what happens if you don't use these parameters at all?

Please do never again run /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_hpasm -v with
sudo.
The only thing that you need sudo privileges for is the /sbin/hpasmcli
command.

I thought this already worked?
> Running "sudo /sbin/hpasmcli -s help" as nagios provides the exepected
output.

You need to make two things clear.

1. "sudo /sbin/hpasmcli -s help" must not ask you (logged in as the nagios
user. on the host miysis) for a password.

If it asks for a password, edit your /etc/sudoers.
Do not proceed beyond this point until "sudo /sbin/hpasmcli -s help" stops
asking you for a password.

2. "/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_hpasm" executed by the nagios user
(without sudo. no more sudo) must not ask you for a password. If it does, or
if you see the message "UNKNOWN - insufficient rights to call sudo
sbin/hpasmcli", please goto 1. 
(if you execute check_hpasm as the nagios user, then "sudo
/sbin/hpasmcli..." will be called from inside the plugin)



> I have also removed the "sudo" from the 
> "command[check_hpasm]=" line in my nrpe.conf file and

good.
This means, if the nagios server asks the nrpe daemon to execute the
check_hpasm, it will call "/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_hpasm" as the
nagios user. if the nrpe daemon was started as the nagios user. then the
daemon will do exactly the same thing you did in step 2.

Now you imitate the nagios server. Login at the nagios server. Call
"check-nrpe -H miysis -c check_hpasm".
 

> problem and I can understand the impatience shown by Gerhard 
I am not really impatient. 

> but Nagios is really not simple to implement even in an 
This problems have absolutely nothing to do with Nagios. Just make sure you
(as the nagios user, not root, without sudo) can execute the commands you
want the nrpe daemon to execute.

Of course it does.

Please look into your sudoers file and please read the sudo manpage.
The you will know why sudo prompts or not.

This has nothing to do with it.

Can you PLEASE remove this "sudo" from this line?

And please can you execute
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_hpasm
WITHOUT sudo.

Sorry for being rude, but this takes to long and it seems you didn't read

Re: [Nagios-users] check_hpasm error

[Gerhard Lausser]

Hi Michel,

did you restart NRPE with debug=1 ?
Any interesting debug output in /var/log/messages?

Please find the pid of the NRPE daemon on host miysis
ps -ef | grep nrpe

Then, trace the process with "strace -f -p 
-etrace=execve"
On the Nagios server, execute the "check_nrpe -t 60 -H miysis -c
check_hpasm"
There should be some output from the strace command like
[pid 10853] execve("/bin/sh", [umovestr: Input/output error
0xf7f799c8f7f799d0, "/lfs/opt/nagios/nrpe/locallibexe"...], [/* 48 vars */])
= 0
[ Process PID=10853 runs in 64 bit mode. ]
[pid 10853] execve("/lfs/opt/nagios/nrpe/locallibexec/check_logfiles",
["/lfs/opt/nagios/nrpe/locallibexe"..., "-f"], [/* 60 vars */]) = 0
[ Process PID=10853 runs in 32 bit mode. ]

Please post your output here.

Re: [Nagios-users] check_hpasm error

[Gerhard Lausser]

Hi,

> - With solution Nb1 : UNKNOWN - insufficient rights to call 
> sudo /sbin/hpasmcli 

please login at miysis as the user, who runs the nrpe daemon.

call "sudo /sbin/hpasmcli -s help"
Does this work without password?

call /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_hpasm -v
What's the output?

If it works so far, 
logout and login at your Nagios server.

call "check_nrpe -t 60 -H miysis -c check_hpasm"
What's the output?

Gerhard

p.s. do you have the line
command[check_hpasm]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_hpasm
in your nrpe.cfg and was the nrpe daemon recently restarted?

Are you sure about the performance data format? : looks more
like Cacti-format.
According to the developer guidelines' proposal
'label'=value[UOM];[warn];[crit];[min];[max] it would be
in=12 out=22

Re: [Nagios-users] check_hpasm error

[Gerhard Lausser]

Hi Michel,
Hi Marcus ;-)

now i see what's wrong here:

in your sudoers you allow the nagios-user to execute /sbin/hpasmcli with
sudo
but according to the nrpe.cfg
command[check_hpasm]=sudo /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_hpasm 
you actually try to execute /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_hpasm with sudo.

Inside the check_hpasm i have some code which decides wether to execute
"/sbin/hpasmcli" or "sudo /sbin/hpasmcli". This depends on the uid under
which the plugin was started.

You have two possibilities:
1. 
- Stay with the current sudoers configuration which works 
  ("Yes, the sudo /sbin/hpasmcli -s help works run as 
   nagios. I get the following output")
- Tell NRPE to run check_hpasm as the nagios user:
  command[check_hpasm]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_hpasm

  The check_hpasm would detect that it runs under a 
  non-root uid and will call  sudo /sbin/hpasmcli ...

2. 
- Add /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_hpasm to the list of 
  privileged commands in /etc/sudoers and keep your nrpe.cfg

I would recommend Nr.1


> little bit afraid of the time you have to spend to configure it :-)
If i can help convincing a management to accept Nagios, then it was worth
it.

Re: [Nagios-users] check_hpasm error

[Gerhard Lausser]

 Hi Michel,

> Should I uncomment the commad_prefix option in the nrpe.cfg 
> config file ?
you would do that, if you want to run _all_ of your commands with sudo,
which is a crazy thing to do under normal circumstances. Another usage may
be something like 
command_prefix=PATH="$PATH:/some/special/path/to/nagios"

> For the time being it is not used and my other NRPE checks 
> (Disk, CPU, Swap) work...
Then you have absolutely no reason to change that. Adding sudo only to the
commands which really need it like
command[check_hpasm]=sudo /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_hpasm
and nowhere else is a good solution and doesn't bloat your sudoers file.

That's perfect so far. I think you even don't need the sudoers entry for
/opt/compaq/utils/hpasmcli any more.
What's the output if you call
check_hpasm -v
as the nagios user on miysis?

> Do you think Nagios should run on another distro than RedHat 5.0 ?  
No, the ability to run hpasmcli with sudo should be sufficient.

Re: [Nagios-users] check_hpasm error

[Gerhard Lausser]

Hi,

can you please login as the nagios user on host miysis and execute
sudo /sbin/hpasmcli -s help

If you are asked for a password there, then maybe your sudo-configuration
only allows you to call the bare command without any additional command line
options. 
man sudoers says:
   A simple filename allows
   the user to run the command with any arguments he/she
   wishes.  However, you may also specify command line argu­
   ments (including wildcards).  Alternately, you can specify
   "" to indicate that the command may only be run without
   command line arguments. 
Maybe something like that is the reason.

Does /sbin/hpasmcli exist? Is it a link?
What about /opt/compaq/utils/hpasmcli? Does it run if you call
sudo /opt/compaq/utils/hpasmcli -s help

The "NRPE. Unable to read output" is typical for such siturations where a
plugin's only output is a "password:". You need to fix the sudo-problem
first.
Another thing is the -v option. This is only for debugging if you call the
plugin as standalone. With -v it outputs some lines of text and nagios will
show the first one ("checking hpasmd process") instead of the last one with
the summary.

[Nagios-users] Announce: check_mysql_perf

[Gerhard Lausser]

Hi Nagios users,

allow me to offer you my plugin check_mysql_perf.
It was written to monitor (primarily) performance related characteristics of
a MySQL database.
The -m option tells the plugin the desired mode. Possible keywords are:

threads-connected (Check 'Threads connected')
qcache-hitrate(Check 'Query cache hitrate')
keycache-hitrate  (Check 'Key cache hitrate')
connection-time   (Check 'Seconds to get a connection')
tmp-disk-tables   (Check 'Percent of temp tables created on disk')
slave-lag (Check 'Seconds behind master')
slave-io-running  (Check for 'Slave io running: Yes')
slave-sql-running (Check for 'Slave sql running: Yes')

Example:
check_mysql_perf -m qcache-hitrate
OK - Query Cache Hitrate at 93.93%|qcache_hitrate=93.93%;90:;80:

check_mysql_perf -m qcache-hitrate -w 95: -c 90:
WARNING - Query Cache Hitrate at 93.93%|qcache_hitrate=93.93%;95:;90:

Please take into account that you need also the nagios-plugins package (i
recommend 1.4.11) for a successful build.
The steps are:
- tar zxvf nagios-plugins-1.4.11.tar.gz
- cd nagios-plugins-1.4.11; ./configure; make
- cd ..
- tar zxvf check_mysql-perf-1.1.tar.gz
- cd check_mysql-perf-1.1
- ./configure --with-officialplugins=/absolute/path/to/nagios-plugins-1.4.11
- make

Of course a mysql-dev installation has to be found (or provided with
--with-mysql) either in step 2 or step 6.

You can find more documentation and the download link at 
http://www.consol.com/opensource/nagios/check-mysql-perf

Re: [Nagios-users] AIX log monitoring with check_log

[Gerhard Lausser]

Hi Roger,
 
you might look at
http://www.consol.com/opensource/nagios/check-logfiles/examples Example 15
If you define a search with type=>'errpr', check_logfiles reads the output
of errpt as if it were a real logfile and only cares for messages which
appeared since the last run. Additionally, you have a lot more possibilities
to weight or manipulate the messages than with check_log.

I'm looking for other AIX log monitoring recipes and am hoping someone here
might be able to point me in the right direction. I see (sorta) how AIX
creates logs and am wondering if anyone here has specific AIX-ish queries
that they run with Nagios' check_log plugin.

Re: [Nagios-users] check_log + mysqld.log

[Gerhard Lausser]

Hi Roger,

> I don't know much about MySQL to know which types of errors that I should
be looking for and am hoping others here might have some recipes / hacks
that they use that they might share what has worked well for them. 

if you use check_logfiles instead of check_log, you can squeeze multiple
patterns to look for in a service. You call it with a configuration file
which for example looks like this:

@searches = (
{
  tag => 'mysqlerr',
  logfile => '/var/log/mysql/mysql.log',  # wherever your logfile is
  rotation => 'mysql\.log\.old',  # must match the rotated
logfile(s)
  criticalpatterns => [
'Error',
'you hit a bug',
'Disk is full',
'find out where mysqld died',
'Number of processes running now: 0',

  ],
  warningpatterns => [
'should be repaired',
'try to repair it',
'InnoDB: Database was not shut down normally'
  ],
},
{
  tag => 'mysqlrecover',
  logfile => '/var/log/mysql/mysql.log',
  rotation => 'mysql\.log\.old',
  criticalpatterns => [
'InnoDB: Starting crash recovery',
  ],
  okpatterns => [
'InnoDB: Apply batch completed'
  ]  
}
);


> And where check_log didn't work (say you needed more "intelligent log
watching"), 
I don't know if this can already be called "intelligence", but in the last
lines you can see an example for a so-called okpattern which is able to
remedy a criticalpattern found shortly before. Another feature is the
possibility to call external scripts or a perl subroutine if specific
patterns are found. This could be used to automatically restart mysqld or
maybe automatically repair tables.
You can find it at http://www.consol.com/opensource/nagios/check-logfiles

Is there a way to make a check_(whatever) and automatically create other
checks? 

For example, say I want to specify "check_cisco_pix", which automatically
creates a lot of other "check_snmp" commands, and when you go to
http://IP/nagios, you see like 10 checks that automatically got created on
the fly.

Sorry, the plugin must have local access to the logfile. Without nrpe
check_by_ssh is your only chance to run the plugin on the database server.
If you're limited to snmp then i see no chance except writing your own
extension to snmpd
(http://www.net-snmp.org/wiki/index.php/Tut:Extending_snmpd_using_perl).

Re: [Nagios-users] Oracle alert logs

[Gerhard Lausser]

Hi Sunny,

you could use http://www.consol.com/opensource/nagios/check-logfiles for
that. However you need to either run the nrpe daemon or to be able to login
wit ssh on the oracle server. On the examples page there is a section on
Oracle alert logs:
@searches = (
{
  tag => 'oraalerts',
  logfile => '/alert.log',
  criticalpatterns => [
  'ORA\-0204',# error in reading control file
  'ORA\-0206',# error in writing control file
  'ORA\-0210',# cannot open control file
  'ORA\-0257',# archiver is stuck
  'ORA\-0333',# redo log read error
  'ORA\-0345',# redo log write error
  'ORA\-04[4-7][0-9]',# ORA-0440 - ORA-0485 background process failure
  'ORA\-048[0-5]',
  'ORA\-06[0-3][0-9]',# ORA-6000 - ORA-0639 internal errors
  'ORA\-1114',# datafile I/O write error
  'ORA\-1115',# datafile I/O read error
  'ORA\-1116',# cannot open datafile
  'ORA\-1118',# cannot add a data file
  'ORA\-1578',# data block corruption
  'ORA\-1135',# file accessed for query is offline
  'ORA\-1547',# tablespace is full
  'ORA\-1555',# snapshot too old
  'ORA\-1562',# failed to extend rollback segment
  'ORA\-162[89]', # ORA-1628 - ORA-1632 maximum extents exceeded
  'ORA\-163[0-2]',   
  'ORA\-165[0-6]',# ORA-1650 - ORA-1656 tablespace is full
  'ORA\-4031',# out of shared memory.
  ],
  warningpatterns => [
  'ORA\-3113',# end of file on communication channel 
  'ORA\-6501' # PL/SQL internal error 
  ]
});

On the DB-server you need the check_logfiles plugin and the above config
file.
Then you define a service

define service {
  service_description   check_oraalerts
  host_name dbsrv
  check_command   check_by_ssh!/path/to/check_logfiles -f
/path/to/above_configfile
  is_volatile   1
  check_period  7x24
  max_check_attempts1
  ...
}  

define command {
command_namecheck_by_ssh
command_line$USER1$/check_by_ssh -H
$HOSTADDRESS$ -C '$ARG1$'
}

and you should get a nagios notification every time new error messages are
appended to the alertlog.

Greetings from Munich,
Gerhard

Re: [Nagios-users] Monitoring unix (SUN) logfiles...

[Gerhard Lausser]

Hi Fabio,
 
if you mean looking for specific patterns in various logfiles, i can offer
you the check_logfiles plugin. You define where to search, what to search
for and Nagios will send you a notification if the "what" appears in the
"where".
Have a look at
http://www.consol.com/opensource/nagios/check-logfiles/examples for an
example, how you can use Nagios to look for SAN-related error messages in
the Solaris /var/adm/messages file.

Hi,

If you collect the messages in logfiles, you can use
http://www.consol.com/opensource/nagios/check-logfiles
to scan these files for critical or warning patterns. It was written to
replace the Tivoli logfile adapter.

[Nagios-users] ANNOUNCE check_logfiles 2.2.2

[Gerhard Lausser]

Hi list,

there is a new version of the check_logfiles plugin. Thank you for your
proposals i received since the last version. I hope this one fulfills all of
your needs. The major enhancement is the introduction of what i call "smart
scripts". Every time one of your defined patterns matches a line in the
logfile, a script can be executed.
Until now, output and exit code of these scripts were simply ignored.
Smart scripts have an exit code of 0-3 which is taken into account just as
if another pattern has matched. Supersmart scripts have the ability to
entirely replace the pattern match by their exitcode and output.
This allows you to have a much more detailed look at the matching lines in
your logfiles.
You find everything at
http://www.consol.com/opensource/nagios/check-logfiles or in german at
http://www.consol.de/opensource/nagios/check-logfiles
If you have no clue of what i wrote here (forgive my english), look at the
examples at
http://www.consol.com/opensource/nagios/check-logfiles/examples or in german
at
http://www.consol.de/opensource/nagios/check-logfiles/beispiele

Re: [Nagios-users] New release of check_logfiles // i forgot something....

[Gerhard Lausser]

Sorry to spam around...

if you want to build the native windows version, you need the script
winconfig.pl which i forgot to include in the tar.gz. You can download it
from here: http://people.consol.de/~lausser/nagios/winconfig.pl
The other thing is a bug i introduced in the very last second. Please delete
line 1426 in plugins-scripts/Nagios/CheckLogfiles.pm (the
$self->SUPER::init).

[Nagios-users] New release of check_logfiles

[Gerhard Lausser]

Hi list,

i just released a new version of check_logfiles. The major enhancement is
support for native Windows (using ActiveState Perl). 
Besides that, you can now put all of your searches in one big configfile and
use the --selectedsearches= option to run only a subset. This was proposed
by Lars Stavholm.

You may find it together with documentation and examples at
http://www.consol.com/opensource/nagios/check-logfiles or in german at
http://www.consol.de/opensource/nagios/check-logfiles

Gerhard

shame on me. The default installed /usr/xpg4/bin/awk also works. It's just
the (old?) awk which does not like user-defined functions in subst. To avoid
this, instead of ./configure use:

AWK=/usr/xpg4/bin/awk ./configure

I didn't reckon that we would end up debugging, when i wrote "Enjoy the
plugin" yesterday, honestly ;-)

No, that's not possible. But the idea is great. An option to select single
searches by calling check_logfiles with a list of tags. It will be in a new
release soon.
Tack, Lars!

maybe some of you already use check_logfiles to scan their logfiles for

Hi,

i made a plugin which integrates the SUN Storagetek Common Array Manager
into Nagios. The CAM is a management software for SUN StorEdge 6130 and SUN
StorageTek 6140 and 6540 Storage arrays. So with this plugin you can monitor
a bunch of these storage devices. You can download it from

Re: [Nagios-users] Plugin for HP Proliant Hardware Health Monitoring

[Gerhard Lausser]

Hi,

the "official" 1.3 is now available at
http://www.consol.de/opensource/nagios/check-hpasm
There's an option --with-degrees for ./configure which lets you chose
between temperatures displayed as celsius or fahrenheit.
The second and important new thing is the --blacklist option.
And for Sim i added Trustix support.

Have fun,
Gerhard

p.s. there was a question wether something like hpasm exists for Windows. I
don't monitor Windows servers, i think there is a snmp-based plugin
check_compaq_health. No idea, what has to be installed on the machine.

Re: [Nagios-users] Plugin for HP Proliant Hardware Health Monitoring

[Gerhard Lausser]

Hi Marcus,

i can understand, not-so-important servers are not fully equipped. 
I will introduce an option like "-b ps:3,..." to blacklist the named
components (skip checking power supply #3 in this example).

Maybe by the end of the week. Keep an eye on
http://www.consol.com/opensource/nagios/check-hpasm (the broken download
link has been fixed). 

Greetings,
Gerhard

i make a plugin, which checks the state of CPUs, fans, power supplies, fans
and memory modules of HP Proliant servers with the hpasm software installed.
Maybe it is useful for some of you.

split it up in separate instances of 500 hosts each and you should have no
problems with nagios out of the box on an average server (2 2GHz dualcore,
4g mem, ...)

You can override the hard-coded paths if you set the environment variable
NAGIOS_CGI_CONFIG which points tac.cgi to a private cgi.cfg, where you
"soft-code" a path to your private nagios.cfg, which finally contains all
the paths to config/status/cmdpipe/... files.

Re: [Nagios-users] using 'check_log ' to find and not find

[Gerhard Lausser]

Hi Ryan and all others,

i just released check_logfiles 1.3.2 which is capable of what you're looking
for.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/check-logfiles


> grep "\[\s*ERROR\s*\]\s" | grep -v "test" foo.log
> 
> where i use check_log to find log entries with "[ERROR]" but 
> ignore log entries that have "[ERROR]" and "test" together in 
> the same log entry.
you would express it in the configuration file like this:

...
criticalpatterns => '\[ERROR\]',
criticalexceptions => ['\[ERROR\].*test.*', '\[ERROR\].*joke.*'],
...

let's assume your logfile looks like this:

Jul 26 23:27:25 localhost -- MARK --
Jul 26 23:51:01 localhost something: [ERROR] somethings wrong #1
Jul 27 01:51:01 localhost some other blabla blabla
Jul 27 01:51:02 localhost something: [ERROR] no no just a test
Jul 27 01:51:04 localhost something: [ERROR] somethings wrong #2
Jul 27 01:51:07 localhost something: [ERROR] somethings wrong #3 haha just a
joke

then the plugin would produce an output like:

CRITICAL - (2 errors in check_somelogfiles.protocol-2006-07-27-20-52-42) -
Jul 27 01:51:01 localhost something: [ERROR] somethings wrong #2 ...

where you see the last valid match and a reference to a protocol file
containing all valid matches:

# cat tmp/check_somelogfiles.protocol-2006-07-27-20-52-42 
Critical Errors in messages
Jul 26 23:51:01 localhost something: [ERROR] somethings wrong #1
Jul 27 01:51:04 localhost something: [ERROR] somethings wrong #2

i hope it is useful for you.

Gerhard

Re: [Nagios-users] Monitoring hardware RAID

Hi,
 
you may look at this:
http://www.strocamp.net/opensource/
They have a standalone program "arrayprobe" which acts 
as a nagios plugin.

  [Nagios-users] Monitoring hardware RAID
  
  Hi All,
   
  I want to know if there is any way to monitor a hardware RAID 
  configuration using nagios (or any other utility). We have  an HP 
  Proliant DL-380 server with two 146 GB hard disks in it. We assume that these 
  two hard disks have been configured for RAID-1 (mirrored using hardware RAID). 
  But we want to make sure, whether they are actually mirrored without turning 
  off and restarting the server (the server was not configured by us). The 
  server has Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 3 installed on it. I would be 
  grateful if somebody provides any pointers regarding this. 
   
  Thanks

Hi Jorge,

do you mean _this_ check_logfiles?

you can define an action for the pattern which updates a counter and stores
it in a temporary file. unfortunately the script also must do the alarming
with send_nsca.
I am the author of the above plugin. In the moment i'm a bit busy, but if
you can wait some days, i will try to add such functionality.

[Nagios-users] new plugin for logfile monitoring

[Gerhard Lausser]

Hi list,

i'd like to introduce check_logfiles, a plugin which searches patterns in
logfiles.
It's main features are:
- Detection of logfile rotation
  (plus searching in the rotated logfile(s)
  to allow no gaps)
- Searching in multiple Logfiles
- New patterns can be added without touching
  the nagios configuration files and restarting nagios.
- on matching lines, a script can be executed

You can find it at http://sourceforge.net/projects/check-logfiles
If you want just read the README, it's at
http://people.consol.de/~lausser/nagios/check_logfiles/README

I hope it is useful for you.

Greetings from Munich,
Gerhard

AW: [Nagios-users] Check_Log

[Gerhard Lausser]

 
Hi Mike,

i have no answer to your question why the text is being cut off, maybe the
string with the "%" inside ends up somewhere in a printf command, so the "%"
is treated like part of a format string. Look at the notification command of
contact_group Support for that.
But what i saw is the is_volatile option in your template. You should set it
to 1, because each time you read the logfile, you remove the cause of the
alert by not reading the same lines of the logfile again. If you get an
alert when you run check_log next time, then another match has been found
which must be treated as a separate event.

Greetings from munich,
Gerhard
