Thanks for the response, I think your points are valid. I'll continue to use a GPL version 2 or higher license in order to try to maintain compatibility and then I'll go GPLv3 when more people get in to it. That will likely change for the next release if we update Gnulib to the latest version, as they bumped their license to GPL v3. I thought so, too, but I checked before my other posting and most of Gnulib is actually LGPL'd, despite the headers in the C files: | Many modules are provided dual-license, either GPL or LGPL at your | option. The headers of files in the lib directory (e.g., lib/error.c) | state GPL for convenience, since the bulk of current gnulib users are | GPL'd programs. But the files in the modules directory (e.g., | modules/error) state the true license of each file, and when you use | 'gnulib-tool --lgpl --import modules', gnulib-tool either rewrites | the files to have an LGPL header as part of copying them from gnulib | to your project directory, or fails because the modules you requested | were not licensed under LGPL. [ http://git.sv.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=gnulib.git;a=blob_plain;f=COPYING ] AFAICS, we're currently not using any of the GPL-only Gnulib files.

Re: [Nagios-users] Licensing of Official and 3rd Party Plugins
* Hari Sekhon [EMAIL PROTECTED] [2008-01-03 09:47]: Are there any plans to upgrade the official plugin distribution to GPLv3? This hasn't been discussed yet, so I can only speak for myself. Are there any advantages/disadvantages to doing so? First, almost all of the official plugins explicitly state that they're licensed under either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version, so you can use and redistribute them with GPLv3 code already. Obviously, the advantage of switching to a GPLv3-only license and therefore prohibiting redistribution under the GPLv2 would be to force the additional restrictions imposed by the GPLv3, which I'm personally not interested in. It would also make using other people's GPLv2-only code impossible. On the other hand, as soon as we want to include some GPLv3-only code, we'll have to upgrade to GPLv3-only, so I'd _guess_ it'll happen some day anyway. Does anyone have any opinions in licensing of 3rd party plugins as GPLv3 instead of GPLv2? Personally, I'm somewhat annoyed by the various incompatible Open Source licenses floating around, as it they can make re-using code impossible in some cases. As the GPLv3 is yet another license which is incompatible to everything else, I'm not really a fan of it. I would prefer GPLv2 or higher licenses over GPLv3-only, if possible.

It's worth noting that I had no problem building the plugins on RHEL 3/4

What's the output of the following commands?
$ cd /root/nrpe.install/src/nagios-plugins-1.4.10
$ grep ^HAVE config.log gl/Makefile
Just to make sure, running make distclean and re-running ./configure;
make won't solve the problem?

Appending search domains can be suppressed by using host.example.com.

It does open a socket with parameters for IPv6 (AF_INET6) and then tells
the resolver to run the query.
The plugins won't actually open an IPv6 socket, they merely call
getaddrinfo(3) which, depending on how it's called, may query your
nameserver for an record before querying it for an A record. This
is done before opening a socket.

Re: [Nagios-users] Check_icmp
* Edwin Zoeller [EMAIL PROTECTED] [2007-08-27 10:58]:
Can anyone supply me with the syntax of how check_icmp should be entered

Well, an example command definition (which assumes $USER1$ points to
your plugins directory) would be:
define command {
command_namecheck-host-alive
command_line$USER1$/check_icmp -H $HOSTADDRESS$
}
But it depends on how you want check_icmp to behave, of course. See
check_icmp -h for the available options.

Re: [Nagios-users] check_ping vs check_icmp?
* Rogelio Bastardo [EMAIL PROTECTED] [2007-07-30 10:37]: I just recently noticed that there is a check_ping and a check_icmp plugin. I ran ./check_plugin --help on each, but am still unclear as to what each does differently. Unlike check_ping, check_icmp allows for checking multiple hosts at once; the behaviour is more configurable; and it generates performance data output. But the main difference is that check_ping executes the system's ping(1) command and parses its output while check_icmp talks ICMP itself. This usually means that check_icmp must be installed setuid root, but also that its performance is much better. Given that Nagios 2.x holds off on doing anything else while performing host checks, this might be an important advantage. So, if you don't mind installing the plugin setuid root, I'd recommend using check_icmp. Does check_icmp include traceroute and other non-ping ICMP checks? No. Holger -- PGP fingerprint: F1F0 9071 8084 A426 DD59 9839 59D3 F3A1 B8B5 D3DE - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Still grepping through log files to find problems? Stop.

Re: [Nagios-users] Host retry interval
* Kyle Tucker [EMAIL PROTECTED] [2006-05-22 14:45]: I have many hosts that are constantly giving me DOWN/UP state as they are unreachable for certain periods. In an attempt to give the system more time to become available, I increased the max_check_attempts from 2 to 5. At 2 the interval between retry attempts was 10 seconds. Now at 5, the interval is 7 seconds. I'd like to have this interval higher for some hosts, but there's a real scary note on the hosts check_interval option to not use it if you can help it. Using `check_interval' within a host definition would activate regularly scheduled checks of the host as opposed to checking the host on-demand only. The directive you'd want is `retry_check_interval', but such a thing doesn't exist for host checks. Is this my only option or is there a better way? With Nagios 2.x, there is no real solution, you can only use workarounds such as defining host escalations in order to suppress the first notification. AFAICS, this will be solved with Nagios 3.x. I am also following the thread titled Workaround for 'Host DOWN' false-positives This might be another useful workaround, haven't looked at it yet.

Re: [Nagios-users] remote passive checks
* Tracy R Reed [EMAIL PROTECTED] [2006-05-01 17:10]: I have chosen nsca because I prefer my machines connect to my server since some of them may be behind firewalls etc. The problem is how do I feed the data into nsca? For some reason it seems that the output from the checks that come with nagios (check_disk, check_load, check_swap) are not compatible with the input for nsca. Yes, see the README file included with the NSCA package for a description of the format. Why is this? For passive checks, the exit code of the plugin and the host/service the submitted plugin output refers to must be passed to Nagios in addition to the usual plugin output for active checks. I am wondering how I am going to handle configuration and management of this wrapper to wrap all of the local checks and configure them appropriately for the local machine. The nagios config on the server does not apply to remote checks. So basically I have to write a custom shell script for each server that calls all of the right checks with the right arguments, converts their output, and passes the result into send_nsca to the main nagios server. You could use a wrapper script such as the following (not tested): ftp://ftp.in-berlin.de/pub/users/weiss/nagios/tools/nsca_client.sh This wrapper could be called via the following crontab entry: * * * * * /path/to/nsca_client.sh diskspace /path/to/check_disk -w 20% -c 10% | /path/to/send_nsca Holger -- PGP fingerprint: F1F0 9071 8084 A426 DD59 9839 59D3 F3A1 B8B5 D3DE --- Using Tomcat but need to do more?

| There are two ways you can do this.
|
| If your paging company has an email-pager gateway, you can simply have
| Nagios send an email message to your pager address. An example of this

|
| You should note that sending notifications through email might fail if

Re: [Nagios-users] Send_NSCA - Segmentation Fault
* Mike Koponick [EMAIL PROTECTED] [2006-02-09 15:44]: All of this works without a hitch. Luckily, all of the equipment is in a lab environment. I'm ready to deploy a server to a real remote site so I wanted to encrypt the traffic, so I configured BOTH the NSCA server and Send_NSCA for 3DES encryption. I restarted XINETD on the server. Now, when I send data from the remote server I see a Segmentation Fault and of course no data is sent through. This is a known bug in the NSCA 2.5 release[*], it's fixed in CVS: http://nagios.sourceforge.net/download/cvs/nsca-cvs.tar.gz Holger [*] http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.network.nagios.devel/2412 -- PGP fingerprint: F1F0 9071 8084 A426 DD59 9839 59D3 F3A1 B8B5 D3DE --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Re: [Nagios-users] DEPENDENCIES
* Deborah Martin [EMAIL PROTECTED] [2006-02-08 16:40]: When the main database plugin check goes to warning or critical I want to suppress email notifications on the 3 remaining checks as there is no point in running these (they won't return anything useful apart from timeouts). However, this rarely happens. Usually, I get the main check email notification plus 1 other email notification from one of the dependencies (though it may not always be the same dependency) Whether or not service dependencies work as expected depends on the setting of soft_state_dependencies and your check intervals: | Try reading the nagios docs on soft_state_dependencies. Then setting | | soft_state_dependencies=1 | | in nagios.cfg. | | If A depends on B (aka no alert on A when B in trouble) make sure that: | | retry_check_interval(A) * max_check_attempts(A) | normal_check_interval(B) | | That should guarantee that at least one check of B occurs during the | trouble interval for A. Without the soft_state_dependencies you must use: | | retry_check_interval(A) * max_check_attempts(A) | normal_check_interval(B) + | (retry_check_interval(B) * max_check_attempts(B)) | | to make sure that B goes into a hard state during the trouble interval | of A. [ http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=14420901 ] This makes sure it should work in most cases (though in theory it can still fail if the critical check of service B was delayed for some reason). Holger PS: For host dependencies, a similar problem AFAICS cannot be solved without patching Nagios: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=14641584 -- PGP fingerprint: F1F0 9071 8084 A426 DD59 9839 59D3 F3A1 B8B5 D3DE --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Re: [Nagios-users] Why the distinction between host definition and hostextinfo definition?
* Lori Adams [EMAIL PROTECTED] [2006-02-07 18:48]: This is actually true of the services documentation. It doesn't state that you can use hostgroups. This is documented here: http://nagios.sf.net/docs/2_0/templatetricks.html#service However, I agree it should also be added to xodtemplate.html.

Re: FW: [Nagios-users] Host checks
* prashanth guduru [EMAIL PROTECTED] [2005-12-16 14:31]: Its true it doesnt talk about how you can do that in the documentation. Yes. But the documentation does say that it is going to try it until the max_attempts, so i guess it keeps running the command that many times or until the host is up. Yes, but the question was how to configure the _interval_ between host check retries. AFAICS this is not possible. Im sure you must have thought about this but you can actually do this by writing another simple plugin that wraps around check_ping. You mean this wrapper should sleep for the desired number of seconds before it returns the result? That's not an option. First, I want a retry interval which is larger than my host_check_timeout. Second: | when Nagios is check the status of a host, it holds off on doing | anything else (executing new service checks, processing other service | check results, etc).

Re: [Nagios-users] check_radius
* Askar Ali [EMAIL PROTECTED] [2005-11-17 15:26]: You mean i have to install the radius on the nagios machine also?, our radius is another separate machine for authenticating dialup users. Of course, you don't need a RADIUS server on the Nagios machine, but check_radius requires the radiusclient library. | check_radius: | - Requires the radiusclient library available from | http://www.cityline.net/~lf/radius/ | RPM (rpmfind): radiusclient-0.3.1-1, radiusclient-devel-0.3.1-1 [ nagios-plugins-1.4.2/REQUIREMENTS ] The above URL seems dead, but the radiusclient source is available at: ftp://ftp.cityline.net/pub/radiusclient/ The Debian packages are called libradius1 and libradius1-dev.
