[Nagios-users] Hosts with one service in error state never get checked - bug?

2007-07-04 Thread Ian Chard
Hi,

I've got a few hosts with just one service each.  If the service goes
into a non-OK state, then later the host goes down, when it comes back
up Nagios never checks the host if the service is still not OK.  The
host still looks like it's down as far as Nagios is concerned.

Is this a bug?

Thanks for any advice
- Ian

Re: [Nagios-users] check_ssh causing log errors on remote servers?

 I've got check_ssh running against all my *nix boxes, but I have a 
 steady stream of the following in my logs from those servers
 
 sshd[2742]: Connection closed by :::192.168.x.x
 sshd[2746]: fatal: Read from socket failed: Connection reset by peer
 sshd[2768]: Connection closed by :::192.168.x.x
 
 There are many Connection closed by... logs (one for each nagios check 
 every 3 mins by the look of it) with the odd Read from socket failed 
 log in between these, roughly after every 10-20 connection closed logs.

This is because check_ssh doesn't actually do any negotiation with the
sshd at the other end.  It just connects, gets the version string sent
by sshd, and disconnects.  Your sshd is moaning that the client
disconnected before entering into an ssh dialogue.

The broader point, I suppose, is that check_ssh only checks that sshd
returns a valid version string.  It doesn't check if, for example, sshd
is misconfigured in such a way as will prevent authentication.

 Hi,
 
 I am just building a new server with Nagios 2.1 and it seems to topple
 over quite easily. At present it only lasts about 5 to 10 seconds.
 
 The syslog consistently shows:
 
 Apr  3 23:40:18 arwen.waakhond.net nagios: SERVICE FLAPPING ALERT:
 arwen;MYSQL;STARTED; Service appears to have started flapping (23.4%
 change = 20.0% threshold)
 Apr  3 23:40:18 arwen.waakhond.net nagios: Caught SIGSEGV, shutting
 down...

Hi,

I also had this problem for a while, but it seems to have settled down.
 I ran it under a debugger for a few days and the damn thing refused to
crash!  :-)

[Nagios-users] Non-US date formats in CGIs

2005-11-23 Thread Ian Chard
Hi,

Is there any way to coax the CGIs, specifically when you set downtimes,
so that they use the British date format (DD/MM/)?

 Check nagios.cfg for the line:
 
 date_format=euro

Hmm, at the moment I have date_format=iso8601, but I still get
dates of the form 11/23/2005 when I go to set downtime.  AIUI
iso8601 should give -MM-DD format.
