 What have I done wrong


Did you also define check_cisco in the check_commands.cfg or similar?
The binary goes basically where you put it, or where the other plugin
binaries are located, but you also have to define the command itself,
not just the command for the host or service. You should have a
commands.cfg or a misc_commands, or a check_commands.cfg or similar in
your /etc/nagios/ dir somewhere. When you find it, you'll see what
you're missing.

 Hi,

 Apache HTTP Server mod_deflate Remote Denial Of Service Vulnerability
 Please someone help me what action can be taken on this.

This is an apache issue and not really a nagios issue. You should
check with your vendor (aka Fedora) for an updated apache fix that
addresses the vulnerability your security team identified.

On a personal note I'd recommend not using fedora for a server if you
want to have any sense of long-term usage of the system. Fedora tends
to go through releases rather quickly, where distros more targeted to
the enterprise have several years of support for a release. For
example: RHEL, CentOS and Scientific Linux all support their releases
for 7 years.  Fedora supports a release for around 12-18 months.

The localhost address is machine specific, and self-referencing.
essentially EVERY computer you use refers to itself as localhost. You

As for the Warning, that's nagios telling you that you have an error

RHEL doesn't ship nagios by default, so it's probably the repository

There are a number of 3rd party repositories that ship Nagios, so you
may need to look for others. For example, the RPMForge repository has

Yes, event handlers were the plan all along but I lacked a simple

nagios having its own queue within RT, and a few custom ticket fields

just about exactly what I'm running in to. How do you track the ticket
number between nagios and RT?  Tracking the consistent data for the

 My question, in desperation, can anyone explain in very simple terms how
 Linux memory works? Also how are you monitoring memory, using what command

If you look at the output of free -m, you can see how the memory is
used. Your admins are pretty much correct.

All available memory will be filled with cached information, so that
things run faster and less disk access is required (since disk is SLOW
compared to ram).
The output from free -m will show you how this works.

Take your used memory, minus the cached memory, and the result is how
much ram you're actually *using* in the real sense of the word.

[Nagios-users] APC snmp monitoring

2008-05-07 Thread Jim Perrin
I'm running into an interesting issue with monitoring some of our UPS
systems via the 9617 management card's snmp interface. I've trying to
get the altinity check_apc_ups plugin
(http://www.nagiosexchange.org/cgi-bin/page.cgi?g=1733.html;d=1)
working, but I'm having an issue with the ePN interpreter.

Running CentOS 5 (x86) and nagios 2.11.

If I execute the plugin as root or as the nagios user via su - nagios,
it works fine, however when nagios itself executes the command, I get
ePN failures about how the variables are un-defined. The only thing I
can see which might cause this (my perl sucks) is that some of the
other perl plugins have a 'use vars $var1 $var2' etc, and this one
does not.

Is anyone else seeing similar behavior, or could take a look at the
perl-fu in the plugin?

[Nagios-users] mod_rewrite for nagios?

2008-04-02 Thread Jim Perrin
Has anyone attempted any mod_rewrite-fu to provide nagios with cleaner
looking urls?
Changing the usual nagios.server.com/nagios/extinfo.cgi?type=4   type url to

nagios.server.com/nagios/extinfo/perfdata/server#/

Anyone attempted this? Googling for such mod_rewrite info hasn't
yeilded anything useful.

There's some discussion going on right now on the rpmforge list with

Are you familiar with building rpms at all? I can send you a spec file
based on the packages by dag/rpmforge which will allow you to build
nagios 3 binary packages.

This depends entirely on how your svn repository server is set up. If
it's using http(s), then you can simply use the check_http plugin to

 and gave it permission but now i think i played way to much with mail and
 sendmail i screwed it up big time with the permissions.wat i think will
 end up doing is reinstalling nagios again..crap

Did you check that /bin/mail actually exists? If it doesn't, you might
consider installing the package which provides it.

 I didnt know that sendmail and mail are two different i guess i was wrong ..
 i mean i did installation word by word as written in manaul i have
 everything working expet email ?

Just because you followed the nagios install guide word for word
doesn't mean you did it properly. If the system you're building nagios
on isn't sane, then you're going to have many other issues no matter
how closely you follow the nagios directions.

Since you're on RHEL, why are you building nagios from scratch? Why
not use the rpms which are built for RHEL and listed on the download
section of the nagios page?

 one small question is bin/mail a relay client ? and where is $contactemail$
 defined anywhere except commands.cfg

The $contactemail$ variable is defined in your contact definition, and
is set by (of all magical options) the 'email' section.

 i see in the nagios.log file as mention in my eearlier posts that i see its
 trying to send it out but keeps getting line code error 127 unkown email
 address (which is my gmail)

No. The error you referenced earlier stated that nagios didn't have
permission to, or could not find /bin/mail or /usr/bin/printf  Did
you check the mail log for sendmail to see if it actually got the
message but failed to send, or are you simply looking at the
nagios.log?

Given the vast amounts of typos and misplacings of the /, I would very
much recommend that you go back over your configs and make sure you
haven't typed them as accurately as you've formed your emails.

 For ex: i dont want to be running out of space any time soon do to these

Well, as nagios 2.9 doesn't use mysql at all by default, I'd say you
have nothing to worry about so far as truncating the database. Now if
you've added components that you haven't told us about, that's a whole
different matter.

As has been posted here before (and to you specifically I believe)
please provide ALL relevant information.

This message itself gives you several clues. Nagios either doesn't

a RHEL4 box, do you have SELinux enabled?

Have you tried running this command on your system as the nagios user manually?

No. Running nagios -v /path/to/nagios.cfg will check for errors, but
it mostly just checks syntax.

Your error would seem to indicate that either you've not installed the

You might try providing some useful details. Say like which version of

 Or is it because i have 500+ devices that is monitoring its sending out

No idea, you haven't told us anything useful yet.

 How can avoid this ( and i mean not by ignoring or raising the threshold) is
 it due to server performance

Are you sure that the report is coming from nagios and not cacti?

A ping check wouldn't care about load, or even get load information.

You STILL have not provided any description on how your check is set

You really should avoid building from source on systems with package
management options (doesn't matter if it's  .deb or .rpm or other) in
place, as this can cause headaches and file conflicts later. Instead,
you might consider installing the -devel packages for these
dependencies.

 nagios 2.9 compiles but complains about GD, PNG or jpeg library.
 Install gd-2.0.33 and libpng-1.2.18 and they both compile without error.
 The error I get when nagios compiles is where it says

 Checking for gdImagePng in -lgd (order 1)... no

 If I've compiled libgd and libpng, installed them in the default
 (/usr/local), what else do I need to do for them to be recognized?

Why are you using your root user to test the database?

All you really need to do is grant USAGE rights to test user and then
not give them rights to anything else. From here, you can use your
resource file to put the password in there, and with proper

 No lock file found in

When you have very oddly named directories, and when you're trying to
stop a nagios instance which is not running.

 Hello, I think we have a poblem with Red Hat rpm's.
 When an update occurs, rpm erases all the files I modofied
 in /usr/share/nagios/ without making a backup.

This is how the rpm is built. The files in /etc/ are listed as config
files with the %noreplace option, so they get left alone. The files in
/usr/share/ get no such protection. While I would like to see the
nuvola theme made the default, I understand this behavior of rpm, and
just work around it.

 Even after installing the necessary libraries and compiling/configuring 
 nagios again as per the instructions seen in FAQ, I am unable to view the 
 statusmap/trends/histogram. Still facing the same problem. Is there anything 
 more i need to do? please advise.

Have you checked to make sure that the cgi file exists? What is in the
error logs for apache? Are you certain that you have all the build
prerequisites installed? What distribution are you installing this on?

You're telling nagios not to send email in the notification options.
Look in the manual again at what the d,r,u,n options do, then look at

Then you have not configured your contacts and groups correctly.

You don't need to create pipes. You need a properly configured mail

Yes. In the documentation, that stuff we keep recommending that you

Re: [Nagios-users] Statusmap.cgi missing

2007-01-08 Thread Jim Perrin
 I am running Nagios 2.5 on gentoo but it seems that I don't have the
 statusmap.cgi.

You're missing the build dependencies for statusmap most likely.

  Looking in the filesystem it is indeed gone, but I don't know where it is
 gone and emerge doesn't show any USE flags that could account for this:
  # emerge -pv nagios-core

You're relying on the gentoo folks to have calculated dependencies
properly, and that may be more optimistic than you need to be.


  Is the flat statusmap deprecated or something? If so then why is there a
 link in my nagios web interface so that I get a url not found error.



  Any Ideas?

Check to make sure that you have the appropriate gd, png, and jpg
development libraries installed.

Re: [Nagios-users] Mysql tables are empty

 My problem and questions:
 - I started Nagios, and checked the tables, all are empty
 - I noticed that the log file(status.dat) is still get updated even after I
   commented out in the nagios.cfg file, WHY ?
 - Does the nagios distribution have mysql interface functions like,
 mysql_connect and so, on because my find utility could not locate any of
 those interface functions.
 - Have I missed anything to enable looging into mysql
 - DO I need to tweak any privilages, or settings
 - What files contain the implementation of the interface to mysql
 Please help me to understand the mystery of Nagios-mysql. your help is
 greately appreciated, thanks in advance,


There is no mystery. Nagios 2.x doesn't do mysql without the
assistance of plugins. You seem to be using nagios 1.x type thinking
with nagios 2.x.

Re: [Nagios-users] to upgrade or not to upgrade?

 I was wondering if anyone out there has any opinions / experiences about
 whether or not it's worth my while upgrading my Nagios 1.2 server to the
 latest version on a Solaris 9 / Sparc server.

At a minimum I'd recommend updating to the latest 1.x packages so that
you've got bugfixes and other updates. Moving to the 2.x tree will
require you to modify your configs and variables used. Your choice.

 Hi Jim

 Thanks for the quick turnaround ,pardon I didnot understand. I
 configured nagios.cfg by referring
 http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/configmain.html

 as you said You havent defined anything, where do i set it


You set the file locations in your nagios.cfg using the cfg_file or cfg_dir
nagios needs to be able to read the files. All this is covered in the
documentation that you say you followed.

Re: [Nagios-users] Read-only access to Nagios

 Hi,

 our department decided to give some kind of publicity for Nagios in the
 company. I'm doing a research to find out what can be done and any help or
 suggestions are highly appreciated.

 An ideal situation will be if we can give users a single URL that will allow
 read-only, no login/password access to Nagios graphs. By read-only I mean
 they won't be able to acknowledge problems, restart services and so on.

 If this can't be done then can we create accounts with restricted permissions
 and have them login to the main Nagios site?

 Anyone been there, done that? :-)

You can do this with a patch from Ton Voon and Altinity. It allows you
to set certain users who are allowed to issue commands, and others who
cannot.  See http://altinity.blogs.com/dotorg/2006/02/index.html for
details. It defaults to allowing users to make changes for
compatibility, but it's easy to reverse if you want to lock everyone
out and explicitly allow them.

 Is there something linux-based that would be comparable to nagios

While not nagios-lite and requiring some nagios know-how to set up,

Re: [Nagios-users] It appears as though you do not have permission

2006-07-26 Thread Jim Perrin
 Goal: to limit what services and hosts individuals can see to the hosts that
 they are a contact for.

This is the default behavior.

 The manual states:


 An authenticated user is an someone who has authenticated to the web server
 with a username and password and has been granted access to the Nagios web
 interface.
 An authenticated contact is an authenticated user whose username matches the
 short name of a contact definition in your object configuration file(s).


 I have nagios set up so that users must login to get to the main page.  That
 works


make sure contact_name matches username in htpasswd file.

[Nagios-users] statusmap background images

2006-07-25 Thread Jim Perrin
I'm currently running nagios 2.5 on RHEL4 (installed via rpm) and I'm
having issues getting the statusmap_background_image to work. All the
other status map images defined in host extended info work fine.


relavent portion from cgi.cfg is
statusmap_background_image=higloss.gd2

and
physical_html_path=/usr/share/nagios

So if I'm reading the documentation properly it should be looking for
/usr/share/nagios/images/higloss.gd2, which exists and has the proper
permissions.

Is there a defined size required for the statusmap background?

Am I missing something obvious? Any hints would be appreciated.

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios CONFIG ERROR!

2006-07-12 Thread Jim Perrin
  /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg

He's running the rpm installed version of nagios, so his paths are
different. There's nothing in /usr/local for him.

 is it #nagios -v /etc/nagios/nagios.cfg,
 the above command says

 [EMAIL PROTECTED] nagios]# nagios -v /etc/nagios/nagios.cfg


 Error: Command 'check-host-alive' has already been defined
 Error: Could not register command (config file
 '/etc/nagios/minimal.cfg', starting on line 76)

The default configs are samples. It doesn't work or monitor anything
out of the box. Your minimal.cfg and bigger.cfg are most likely
conflicting with each other.

Couple things you can do here.
Step 1. Read the documentation. Seriously. We see this question on the
list at least twice a week. Nagios requires a slightly anal method of
thinking. EVERY little thing matters in the communication from nagios
machine to the watched system.
Step 2. Read the appropriate distro related documentation. For rpms
coming from rpmforge and dag, there are a couple decent documents to
turn to.

http://www.cognitive-dissonance.org/wiki/Configuring+Nagios
http://wiki.centos.org/Nagios_on_CentOS_4.x

Those should walk you through pretty much whatever you need to know to
get it working.

If you build the plugins with openssl support, then check_http has
support for https. I believe there's a FAQ about this somewhere but I

Hell, it'll even check the expire time on the ssl cert driving the

From that error, it looks quite a bit like you don't have g++

compiler in accordance with your distro installation policy

  Has anyone seen this before?  It looks like
  /usr/bin/cpp is OK.  Is there a work-around for this?

No workaround needed. Install functional compiler, or tell source
where your compiler is.

Re: [Nagios-users] selinux security

2006-07-05 Thread Jim Perrin
 I have installed Nagios on a new RedHat linux 2.4.9.  The  sever has SELINUX 
 enabled.

Huh? There is no redhat linux 2.4.9. If you're talking about redhat 9
(I think this had a 2.4.9 version kernel) then it does not have
selinux unless it's been REALLY bastardized/upgraded.



 Does anyone have a definitive list of context commands (chcon) to grant 
 proper Nagios access?

Anyway, this should help you -
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.network.nagios.user/33586/match=selinux


 None of the postings clearly define what commands are needed.

Not every installation or selinux ruleset is the same, so changes will
occur across distributions  and across rulesets. Salt to taste.

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios Logo Issues

2006-07-05 Thread Jim Perrin
 Ever since I upgraded my Nagios 2.0 on a Redhat Enterprise 3 server to
 Nagios 2.3 on Redhat Enterprise 4 I can't get any of my logos to work
 (status map, hosts, etc).  I have searched the forums and have found nothing
 that helps – although a lot of people have logo issues.  I checked and
 doubled checked my config and nothing seems to be wrong.  I have also tried
 multiple graphics formats gd2, gif, jpeg  but that does not matter.  All my
 logos are stored in /usr/local/nagios/share/images/logos.
 I am concerned that something with Redhat 4.0 has been upgraded that is
 causing the problem

I'm using Nagios on a couple RHEL4 boxen with images just fine. Since
your path would indicate that you built your own nagios install
instead of using rpms, I'm gonna ask some questions that may seem
obvious. Did you have gd and gd-devel installed when you built nagios?
How about libpng-devel and libjpeg-devel? Are you ABSOLUTELY sure that
your image definitions are pointing in the right location?

Re: [Nagios-users] MySQL Alive and Accepting Connections Plugin...

 I'm looking for a really simple plugin that will just check whether a MySQL
 server is alive and accepting connections. I've found a few plugins that
 perform some other strange functions, but none that provide this simple
 functionality.


What's wrong with the check_mysql plugin in the nagios plugins? it
works very well, requires very limited permissions (usage) and gives
you basic stats.

 The configure and make completed ok.

Not if you're missing the app they didn't. You should really use the
packaging provided for a given distribution for consistency, and
nagios is already packaged for RHEL by dag. You should use the
appropriate RPMS provided here http://dag.wieers.com/packages/nagios/


 Also the 3-D Status Map option from the browser interface tries to download
 statuswrl.cgi instead of executing it (browsers: Firefox and IE)

No it's not. You don't have a functional VRML plugin for your browser,
so it's trying to save the vrml data as a filed named the same as the
cgi which is delivering the information to you.

Re: [Nagios-users] How to reduce a very high latency number

2006-05-17 Thread Jim Perrin

Ok, that is all I can think of off the top of my head.  I have
reviewed the performance tuning tuning doc (from here:
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/tuning.html), but I am open to
trying things again / in a different way.  I can list off what I've
done in response to that doc on a point-by-point basis if anyone is
interested.

Thanks for any help -- this latency issue is the last big hurdle
before getting this thing going.


At the risk of sounding fanboy-ish, there's a metric assload of decent
nagios information here - http://altinity.blogs.com/  including
several good patches that help to tweak nagios in various ways. Some
of the last couple entries have involved tuning that may help.

Anyone ever done this sort of thing for Nagios?

While I'm not aware of a way to do what you seek via authentication,
there's a plugin for nagios that only allows certain people to modify
things via the web interface. In this way you could seperate users
-who could view but not change, and admins -who can do whatever they
damn well please.

Your permissions and possibly users/groups are incorrect. The 'easy'
way to set up nagios on fedora core 4 is 'yum install nagios' as it's
a package in extras. Since you did it the hard way, you'll have to
check permissions (selinux included if you're using it) and make sure
that apache has access to nagios files etc.

 Check the Nagios log file for messages relating to startup or status data

 Make sure you've compiled the main program and the CGIs to use the same

 Make sure you read the documentation on installing, configuring and running

Re: [Nagios-users] authentication check

2006-04-22 Thread Jim Perrin
 If you share your user database with other applications then there is
 little hope of doing this the extreme easy way.

We're using a single-sign on authentication system is fairly
brain-dead in my opinion. It's not really my call, and there isn't
much of a way to fix it. That's why I was hoping for a patch that says
Hmmm, I can't show you anything, so piss off, only a little more
polite :-P

 You could throw all of your nagios users into a group and use the group
 definition to grant them access instead of a valid-user. That would still
 be relative easy to maintain.

This was one of the first things I tried actually, but the
authentication system pukes all over it for some reason.

 PS: Tagline separators are Dash-Dash-Space and not Dash-Dash.

Yep, but tell that to google's settings. I have it setup correctly in
there, but they trim my space. I prefer to use gmail for mailing
lists, so the most I can do is acknowledge the problem.

I stood up a second nagios system with notifications turned off and

The config file formats have been redone, so if you just move them

You might be able to import your configs into a tool like fruity, and

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios - Newbie

2006-04-04 Thread Jim Perrin
 Thanks, I have received several replies with great information, but this is
 the direction my question was aimed at. Do you have any recommendations as
 to what is needed? I planned to select the Minimal Install from the
 installer, and then only install the packages that were needed… One of my
 main questions is What are the packages that are needed? (as a base… not
 directly related to the Nagios package or Plugins..

I'd question the use of FC4 strictly from a lifetime approach. With
FC5 out now, core 4 has about 6 months left. a RHEL 4 rebuild like
centos or scientific linux will last you until 2012.  As to your
question of installs, you can choose the minimum install, and then use
yum to get everything else if you use the Extras package. That's a
fine course of action. Nagios doesn't need much beyond fping, perl,
net-snmp-utils and httpd.

  I also have seen that many times the version (Apache, and other programs)
 that RedHat or Fedora installs is not necessarily the latest version… I
 would like feedback as to whether it is better to go with the newest
 version, or if it is better to stay with the Older Versions

For nagios specifically this doesn't really matter. For server
maintenance standards it depends on your goals. A RHEL rebuild is
designed to be stable and provide several years of enterprise service
where 'new' isn't always what you want. Fedora, gentoo and others move
more rapidly. For me, rapid movement isn't what I want in a machine
for monitoring. I want it to last, and provide a baseline for
everything else.


  I think it would be cool to have a KickStart file, and Post Installation
 Script to have a machine primed and ready to go for a Nagios install.

Indeed, and such a thing is easy. But kickstarts are generally for
mass repetitive installs, or machines that are rebuilt quickly. In
most environments, this doesn't describe the machine you're using for
monitoring others.

  I have also received some good feedback about whether to use the
 precompiled RPM's or to compile. The official Doc that I am reading from the
 Nagios site details the compile it yourself instructions… but I have
 received a couple of responses recommending to use the precompiled versions.

The nagios documentation is very much generic *nix instruction, and is
quite thorough and very good. It's the generic nature of it though
that leads to the discussion. I recommend that people follow the
packaging method of their distribution of choice as much as possible.
If you use an rpm based system, use or make an rpm of nagios. If
you're a debian fan, make or use a deb of nagios. This simplifies the
overall system maitenance requirements and you can use the same tools
for every package. If you work in an environment like I do that
requires software audits periodically, rpm and other package tools
make it easier than saying Well some are over here, and there are
some others over in this general area.

  I also want to thank everyone who has responded, the help is much
 appreciated. Jim Perrin sent me a link to his document and it was very
 helpful. I think that it will generate some questions with me, but I will
 try to save most of them till I have tried a few things… one question though
 about the doc.



  On Jim's document it lists default install directories as:



 /usr/share/

 /usr/lib/nagios/

 /etc/

 I may have missed some???

Yes, but that's because I didn't document them. My guide was meant to
be taken with the nagios documentation, and I only mentioned what I
felt people needed to know to get nagios off the ground.

The nagios rpm I describe has things in:
/etc/httpd/conf.d/nagios  - the included apache config for
authentication/access control.
/etc/nagios, /etc/rc.d/init.d/nagios to start and stop the nagios
service,  /usr/bin/ where the nagios and nagiosstats binaries are,
/usr/lib/nagios for plugins and the cgis, /usr/share/doc/nagios and
/usr/share/nagios for the documentation and web interface.


  I assume that the difference could be attributed to personal preference and
 the compile time options???

And distribution type customizations, similar to how apache is set up
on rhel,fedora etc.

  Also, in Jim's document it states:


 What you'll have at this point is a nagios directory in /usr/share/ which
 contains the html interface for yum, hosted through apache.
  Can someone explain the significance of the html interface for yum to
 me…. Or is this possibly a typo and should be the html interface for
 Nagios.

Yeah. I have a typo in there. Thanks for catching it, I'm fixing it now.


  And I want to say that I am not trying to pick at Jim's Doc… I think it is
 great, it has been really helpful for me to read, and has got me thinking….
 I'm just trying to digest it and learn it right the first time.

My doc was just to cover the rpm based approach, and to work with the
existing documentation. If it got you thinking then that's what
matters. If there are things I need to include or correct, by all
means

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios - Newbie

2006-04-03 Thread Jim Perrin
 I am currently digesting the documentation for Nagios 2.0 from the Nagios
 Website. I intend to start my first installation after I finish reading the
 documentation which seems to be very straightforward.

  The question that I have is in reference to the base OS installation. I
 will be using Fedora Core 4, and would like to ask if there are any
 recommendations or documents about a box specifically dedicated to Nagios.

Nagios is available via a Fedora Extras rpm for FC4. I would recommend
using that. If you have issues configuring nagios on Fedora, I have
some documentation done for rpms on centos which should be similar.

post on the rt (bestpractical) mailing list has a patch for 1.x to
open rt tickets etc, and I wanted to see what others are doing with
customizations. Has anyone combined nagios with an asset management
system, bugzilla, etc. How do others on the list work with nagios, and
how does it fit into your environment?

 Hi all!
 Could anybody compile Nagios with gd library and so on in FreeBSD, either
 using the tar.gz file or ports as well?
 I've tried many differents ways but i couldn't get the statusmap.cgi...
 Thanks to all...

Which version of nagios? How are you trying to build, and how is it failing?

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios install directory

2006-03-13 Thread Jim Perrin
 Alrighty, so what's the preferred directory to install Nagios into ?

I'd say it depends on the system you're using. Ideally you should use
or make use of the packaging style for your OS, be it solaris, debian,
rhel etc. As previously pointed out, it's admin specific, but I'd
amend that to say it should follow the style consistent with other
packages on the OS.

Re: [Nagios-users] How to check disk space on remote systems

2006-03-13 Thread Jim Perrin
 I can't be the first one to want to run df on a remote system.

Not at all, but poor documtentation doesn't mean people aren't doing
it, it just means they aren't TALKING about doing it. The machines I
monitor are all on the same lan, so I use snmp to monitor disk usage.
There are plugins for this on nagiosexchange, or you can use
check_snmp to do it.

 Yes, that helps... thanks for the info.  I did in fact find this line
 in httpd.conf:

 /etc/init.d/apache2 configtest

 and verified that the nagios.conf exists in conf.d.

  hope that helps.
 
  But just remember the docs always assume you are building from source (tars
  etc) so RPM installs
  are bound to be slightly different...

 Believe it or not, I was not aware that the install method (rpm vs.
 source) could change the setup procedure.  Good info.

For what it's worth, if you look back a couple days in the list, I've
done up some rpm tutorials for nagios using dag's repo package. Might
be worth a read for you.


 Thanks!

Re: [Nagios-users] Problems with RPM install

2006-03-09 Thread Jim Perrin
 Better go for Binary installation and it will be good in working
 without error and you can install in few setps.



 unzip
 ./configure

 ./make

 ./make install

I'm not sure what you're definition of binary is, but what you just
described isn't it. That's building from source to install. In some
shops where rpm based distros are mandated, this is a no-no. Your
method doesn't allow for any system-wide software auditing system to
know what is installed. Also, your command above will fail because it
looks for the 'make' command in the current directory where it won't
be. For rpm based systems, it's best to work with the tools of the
system and use rpms. In doing that you have to know how to salt the
general provided directions to taste. There are guides for working
with nagios rpms out there. Basically, understand the theory behind
the directions, and the platform becomes irrelevant.


 and you can see installation way when you unzip tar file.

Nope, you can see the source files. The only binaries in the nagios
tarball are the images.

 Using nagios 2.0



There is a patch at
http://altinity.blogs.com/dotorg/patches/issue_commands_1.patch that
allows users to view items, but not issue any changes. It seems to
work rather well. Hopefully it or something like it will make it in
the next 2.x update. It looks much nicer than the .htaccess denial
from a user perspective. See the 26 Feb article here
