IMHO the default is 0 so you have to define -w and -c to check against these 
thresholds

Per default the state depends in the ftp server response and not on response 
time

Re: [Nagios-users] Check_http status 503 gives 200 OK

[Joerg Linge]

Your example

 /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_http -I  -u http:// -w1 -c2

is a proxy request!

-I = ip address to connect to
-H = HTTP/1.1 Host Header
-u = relative url to fetch without protocol infos like http://

some examples

check nagios.org

OMD[gearman]:~/lib/nagios/plugins$ ./check_http -H nagios.org
HTTP OK: HTTP/1.1 200 OK - 54919 bytes in 1.703 second response time 
|time=1.703114s;;;0.00 size=54919B;;;0


OMD[gearman]:~/lib/nagios/plugins$ host nagios.org
nagios.org has address 96.126.126.159

ok, nagios .org runns on 96.126.126.159
lets check a non existing page. we got 404!

OMD[gearman]:~/lib/nagios/plugins$ ./check_http -I 96.126.126.159 -H nagios.org 
-u /404
HTTP WARNING: HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found - 17141 bytes in 0.536 second response 
time |time=0.536015s;;;0.00 size=17141B;;;0

lets ask nagios.org for icinga.org ;) and we will get a 302

OMD[gearman]:~/lib/nagios/plugins$ ./check_http -I 96.126.126.159 -H icinga.org 
-u /
HTTP OK: HTTP/1.1 302 Found - 242 bytes in 1.837 second response time 
|time=1.837209s;;;0.00 size=242B;;;0

Hi Mark,

on your nagios servers  use npcdmod.o to spool files and npcd to transfer them 
to a central pnp4nagios server via scp
On the pnp4nagios server use npcd to process the perfdata files and write the 
rrds

Re: [Nagios-users] Recommendation needed

[Joerg Linge]

The next version on PNP4Nagios will be able to push data to Graphite.
So you are able to use all PNP4Nagios internal functions + all available 
Graphite GUIs out there.

I'am just working on that.

Re: [Nagios-users] check_http fails for two Sprint sites

[Joerg Linge]

OK, more tests.

check_http with verbose output

OMD[gearman]:~$ ./lib/nagios/plugins/check_http -vv -H www.sprint.net
GET / HTTP/1.1
User-Agent: check_http/v1.4.15 (nagios-plugins 1.4.15)
Connection: close
Host: www.sprint.net


CRITICAL - Socket timeout after 10 seconds

so lets test with low level telnet 


OMD[gearman]:~$ telnet www.sprint.net 80
Trying 2600::...
Connected to www.sprint.net.
Escape character is '^]'.
GET / HTTP/1.1
Host: www.sprint.net

HTTP/1.1 302 Moved Temporarily
Server: HTTP Proxy/1.0
Connection: Close
Content-Length: 0
Location: https://www.sprint.net/


Server: HTTP Proxy/1.0 ??

Lets do a http 1.0 request


OMD[gearman]:~$ telnet www.sprint.net 80
Trying 2600::...
Connected to www.sprint.net.
Escape character is '^]'.
GET / HTTP/1.0

HTTP/1.1 200 OK

Now its an Apache 2.2.22 ??

Example:

OMD[gearman]:~$ ps -ef | grep amavis
gearman848 32594  0 08:03 pts/100:00:00 grep amavis
amavis1571 1  0 Sep09 ?00:00:39 amavisd (master)

amavis   31143  1571  0 Oct18 ?00:00:10 amavisd (ch16-avail)


Ahh a amavisd process!

OMD[gearman]:~$ ./lib/nagios/plugins/check_procs -C amavisd
PROCS OK: 0 processes with command name 'amavisd'

WTF?

No amavisd Process?
So lets be more verbose ...

OMD[gearman]:~$ ./lib/nagios/plugins/check_procs -C amavisd -vvv |head -n1
CMD: /bin/ps axwo 'stat uid pid ppid vsz rss pcpu comm args'

Ahh check_procs use other ps option!

OMD[gearman]:~$ /bin/ps axwo 'stat uid pid ppid vsz rss pcpu comm args' | grep 
amavis
Ss 106  1571 1 207404 10208  0.0 amavisd-new amavisd (master)

S  106 31143  1571 212216 60476  0.0 amavisd-new amavisd (ch16-avail)

So the process name is amavisd-new and not just amavis!
Lets call check_procs again

OMD[gearman]:~$ ./lib/nagios/plugins/check_procs -C amavisd-new
PROCS OK: 3 processes with command name 'amavisd-new'

Much better!

Please be more precise!

which pdf file did you modify?

pnp4nagios/etc/background.pdf? Is this the one?

Is this file also registered in your pnp4nagios/etc/config_local.php

# Use this file as PDF background.

Which pnp4nagios version do you use?

I assume its 0.6.13

PNP web interface reads config files in the following order.

pnp4nagios/etc/config_local.php
pnp4nagios/etc/config.php

config_local.php is used to store your own changes and will not be overwritten 
on updates.
config.php is the default config file.

it depends on the pnp4nagios template you use to create this kind of graphs.
I assume its templates.dist/check_snmp_int.php

http://docs.pnp4nagios.org/pnp-0.6/tpl

You can change the Template to fit your needs. Every valid rrdtool option is 
allowed.

you can use check_by_ssh which is part of nagios plugins package.
you have to install the plugins you want to use (check_disk, check_load ...) on 
the remote side too.

Instead of scheduling downtime its also possible reschedule the next service 
checks to now + 15minutes for example.

PNP4Nagios depends heavily on rrdtool because the graphs are created by rrdtool 
too.
Is not possible to use another storage engine then rrdtool.

NagiosGrapherV2 might be a solution for you.

Hi Marc,

the jmx4perl agent is now called jolokia

http://labs.consol.de/lang/de/jolokia/
http://www.jolokia.org/

There is also an JVM Agent which can be used with Sun Java 6+

set "process_perf_data 0" in srv-pnp and/or host-pnp templates.
Make sure these templates a used first because object definition within first 
template wins.

Hi Marc,
just use a notification to fire the eventhandler script.
Disadvantage: only triggered on HARD states.
Advantage: notification_interval to re-execute the script.

Do you realy want to use "service_notification_options n"?

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/objectdefinitions.html#contact


If you specify n (none) as an option, the contact will not receive any type of 
service notifications.

Have a look on check_cluster

The current PNP Version is PNP-0.4.11.
Which Version do you use?

Also some more informations about you Nagios installtion will be useful.
Like number of Host/Service checks per minute.

You can use check_snmp_int to do the monitoring stuff and check_multi to 
combine 48 checks to one nagios service.

Based on nagios 3.0.3

event_broker_options=-1 is used in my nagios.cfg

data_processing_options=16644865 is used in my ndomod.cfg

Oh yes thats right.

An other possible solution is using evntwin.exe ( part of the microsoft 
snmp agent ) to send snmp traps to nagios. If your familiar with snmp ;-)

Hi Christoph,

have a look on cgi/cgiauth.c Line 270


270 /* if this user is authorized for this host, they are for all 
services on it as well... */
271 /* if(is_authorized_for_host(temp_host,authinfo)==TRUE)
272 return TRUE;
273 */

Change Line 271...272 and recompile your cgis

Your nagios.cmd is a regular file and _not_ a named pipe.
This file is not created by nagios!

Please delete this file and do a nagios restart.
The pipe should be created automaticaly.

I can confirm this.
Nagios 3.0rc2 works correct but 3.0rc3++ fails.

Can you please post this fine bug report to nagios-devel?

Hi William,
have a look on check_multi as your already using nagios 3.x

http://my-plugin.de/wiki/projects/check_multi/start

The graphing can be done by PNP

http://www.pnp4nagios.org/pnp/

Hi Steffen,

Do you use regular host checks with Nagios 2.x ? Tis is not the best 
Idea i think.

Is "process_perf_data 1" set in your service definition or templates ?

Thats OK. PNP dont need this file if your using the PNP Default Mode.

First choose the right mode for your installation.
http://www.pnp4nagios.org/pnp/modes

Configure PNP based on http://www.pnp4nagios.org/pnp/config

and check the function as described on

http://www.pnp4nagios.org/pnp/verify

So lets have a look on the upcomming features :-)

Only in german, but you can find some screenshots showing the brand new automap

This sounds like Daniels Problem.

Two days ago we have compiled nagios without epn and perl cache.

For now Nagios runs with a latency of 0.3 Secs.

What do you add exactly to nagios.cfg ?

Here is an example



# host check commands.
# The following macros are stripped of the characters you specify:
#   $HOSTOUTPUT$
#   $HOSTPERFDATA$
#   $HOSTACKAUTHOR$
#   $HOSTACKCOMMENT$
#   $SERVICEOUTPUT$

The cgi.cfg is no Object Config File and should not be placed inside cfg_dir.

Thanks for the feedback !

I use Patrick Proys Perl Plugins ( http://www.manubulon.com/nagios/ )
check_snmp_int.pl works great. Use the Option -f to enable Perfdata Output.

The PNP template check_snmp_int.pl will be available in pnp-0.2.6

Hi Mike,
the plugin output and the performace data is available.

If your host_name is BC_4506 an the service_description is CBi3_1 call PNP like 
this.

index.php?host=BC_4506&srv=CBi3_1

Does the directory /usr/local/nagios/share/perfdata exist on your system ?

Do you mean /usr/local/nagios/share/perfdata ?

The Plugin _must_ output valid Perfdata. If they do , process_perfdata.pl will 
create the files.
If not, process_perfdata.pl will exit silently.

Please show me the performance data output for the router services.
