[Nagios-users] SLA reports from nagios
Hi there, I wish (well, have been told to..) to produce SLA type reports of our IT systems for management. At the moment the requirements are rather vague... As we are currently using NDO I am hoping that Jasper Reports may be used to pull reports directly from the database. Poking around I can find no reference to people having done so. Any advice while I am still at the stage of working out what management want? Cheers, Matthew. - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Still grepping through log files to find problems?

Re: [Nagios-users] NSClient++ or NRPE
Hi there, We currently have nsclient++ installed across 200+ w2k3 servers. We get about 4 crashes a day. The service has been set to auto-restart so it is not a _huge_ problem. Nevertheless we are looking at moving away from nsclient++ possible to nrpe_nt or even a completely different monitoring platform :( Although it appears that practically everybody else has a great deal of success with nsclient++ we can not at the moment endorse it. Hopefully the issue will turn out to be a configuration error on our part.

[Nagios-users] nsclient++ crashing
Hi all, A little while ago there was a thread on this mail list regarding the stability of nsclient++ on Windows 2003, at the time I had not encountered this issue. Now that I have deployed nsclient++ to 200 Servers I am seeing one or two crashes a day. I do not use passwords, nor encryption. I am using a combination of ns_client and nrpe checks until I have fully migrated to nrpe. I mention not using passwords as the log file is full of errors regarding Invalid passwords I have started disabling the SysTray on the servers -- this being enabled was a misconfiguation. Any advice gratefully appreciated. Kind Regards, Matthew.

Re: [Nagios-users] Nsclient++
Hi there, Nope, you are right, we are not using passwords. Keeping backward compatibility with the existing nsclient infrastructure which has not been configured to use passwords (can it?) has tied our hands there. Security is provided by specifying the IP of the nagios server in the nsclient++ config. Not ideal, but adequate for our environment. Of course we would be interested in any patches, I have to admit that I am especially interested in how the developer will be developing the WMI side of things. Not quite sure how we could use it tho. On a more amusing note our internet filter has decided to block the nsclient++ website. nakednuns.org is a fun domain name but begging to be blocked. Mat.

I think we may have figured out the problem. It only happens when you specify a password (check_nt -s ). Do you have it configured with a password? We are patching the code and are gonna release it if anybody's interested.

We also run nsclient on ~200 servers. I have seen nsclient crash when other services try to pinch it's port. Sophos AV was the main culprit. The NRPE functionality with nt_check backwards compatibility sold us on nsclient++, we are currently (slowly) upgrading all servers to nsclient++. I will of course post should we see any crashes. 1. more thing, I did note that the systray icon feature did not work for us - I guess it may be a bit flaky.
