Hi everyone, Would it be possible to run two instances on Nagios on one machine? The server would be Debian (with Apache). I want one Nagios instance to monitor one lot of hosts and the other to monitor a different lot of computers and they should be independent of each other. How would I go about doing this? Simply installing Nagios in two different locations and making Apache server each? Thanks Semir [John Longland] Semir I agree with the other posts. I don;t know your system / setup, but I would suggest your consider using different log-files for the 2 instances. I *accidently* ran more than one server at some stage and it caused havoc in my particular setup. You could'nt make out what was going on when reading the archive / log entries.

Re: [Nagios-users] Distributed Monitoring
Yes you can. Do a google for distributed monitoring. Basically it caomes down to having the one nagios configured as a slave. It then passes all its info to the main Nagios. The services that are monitored on the slave nagios, are configured as "passive" on the main Nagios., but the data is still displayed with all the other "active" check-data on the same screen. One thing that I did: Because the data from the slave gets passed on NOT on request but passively, if the slave nagios dies, the main will not know about it. So my slave-nagios is actively checked with a ping by the main-nagios.

[Nagios-users] Adding buttons
Hi all !!! a Hearty 2007 to all !!! My Nagios system is standing in our call-center and I have a few servers spread out over a few venues. At one of the distant locations, I have a DNS server and at certain times I need to have an operator trigger some scripts on this DNS server. What I was hoping to do is add a button ( on the left-panel perhaps ) of my nagios screen. The operator must then click this and this can be used to trigger the scripts on the DNS server.

[Nagios-users] Check process
Hi all !!! Just been looking at the plugins in my ../libexec-DIR. ( I have Nagios 2.4 runing ) I found something to work with , but it looks like "the-long-way" Would like to put my problem together with a possible solution. Would like to know if there is a better way. Problem: I have a distributed Nagios system : One master; one slave. The master nagios is also my master time-server The slave-nagios is also my slave-time-server. I need to check the tnp-procs on both the servers. Possible solution: I see that there is a check_procs plugin. This however, only checks processes on the local machine. I can check for the ntp proc: ( On the master ) : check_procs -a ntpd With this command I cannot check if ntp is running on my slave-nagios. To do this, I'd have to define a new service-check on the main nagios, accepting info from the slave-nagios about the ntpd-service running there. This seems very cumbersome. I also see that there is a check_ntp, but this checks clock accuracies etc which I don't want at this stage. I just need to know if the ntpd is running. Is there a way I can check a proc on another machine ?? Thanks ! JOhn - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

[Nagios-users] 3D-display on Nagios
Hi all
I'd like to use the 3D display on Nagios in my call-center.
Got the basic display going and I can change the structure
( circle , tree etc )
2 Questions.
1. I'd like to change to the type where I supply the coordinates.
I have done the following:
Created /usr/local/nagios/etc/hostextinfo.cfg containing entries for my
hosts
define hostextinfo{
host_name
icon_image
.
.
3D-coords
}
Entered the following line in /usr/local/nagios/etc/cgi.cfg
xedtemplate_config_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/hostextinfo.cfg
I have selected user-coordinates (0) for
default_statusmap_layout
default_statuswrl_layout
in cgi.cfg
When I restart nagios and view the 3D-display, it says that I have not
created 3D-corrdinates.
I thought I covered everything ??
**
2. If I revert back to display type 3 ( eg ) I get the tree-display, but oh
my goodness
the colors looks awfull. Is this my browser ( konqueror ) ???
Thanks !!
JOhn

A few questions: What version of nagios are you running? When you added the echo statement was IT the only thing in the script? or did you leave the rest of the script intact? What are the permissions of the directories, files of where your submit_check_result script is? Did you try running the script by hand as the user nagios runs under? PS: Give an example of what your submit_check_result script looks like. Hi Bryan !!! Thanks for your mail. I have since dicovered that the problem was the permissions of my send_nsca.cfg file !! For completeness: Version of nagios is 2.4 The echo statement was simply added with all other statements intact The permissions of the script files are readable and executable by anyone. It is owned by nagios:nagios. As I said above, I slipped up with not checking the send_nsca.cfg file !!! Thanks for your time, Bryan. Much appreciated John - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

[Nagios-users] Distributed nagios system
Title: Distributed nagios system Hi all !! I've had to implement a distributed systemand I have gone through some docs I found on sourceforge. I'll briefly mention what I have done: slave nagios 1. Installed the nsca pack 2. put send_nsca.cfg -> /etc 3. modified entry for ocsp_sommand in nagios,cfg 4. enabled obesess over services 5. enable_notifications set to 0 6. Defined a command called submit_check_result in my minimal.cfg 7. Written submit_check_result script and placed it in ../libexec server side: 1. Installed nsca pack 2. nsca,cfg -> /usr/local/nagios/etc 3. active service checks 1 for services checked from main nagios set to 0 for service checked from slave nagios 4. externetl commands checks enabled 5. passive service checks enabled 6. nsca -> /usr/local/nagios/bin 7. check existance of /usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd 8. wrote nsca script in /etc/xinetd.d 9. added entry in /etc/services called NSCA 10. restarted xinetd Problem. When I send info from slave to main nagios by hand, it is sent and reported by the main nagios, correctly. When I remove /usr/local/nagios/libexec/submit_check_result, I get an error indicating that the slave nagios is trying to execute a non-existing script. When I re-instate the submit_check_result script, nothing happens. No error in any log. I do not see any attempt on the network ( tcpdump) that the slave is trying to contact the main nagios. I have also added a little echo statement in the submit_check_result script that writes to a file. This way I can see that the script was executed. This does not happen which means the submit_check_result script is not executed. Can someone help , please ?? John - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

[Nagios-users] Slave nagios
Title: Slave nagios Hi all !!! I have a love-triangle-situation here and wherever there's a love-triangle, things gets messy I have 3 sites, lets call then A,B and C A has my Nagios monitor , monitoring machines on both the B & C networks. Some of the machines on network C I cannot monitor. ( Lets just say its politics and leave it at that !!! ) I can however see the unmonitored machines from my B-network. And I can see my B-netywork from my A network that has my Nagios. I was thinking to put up a "slave" nagios at B. This slave will then monitor to outstanding machines on C and this info can then be passed to the "main" nagios system at A. ( Hope that makes sense !!! ) Can this be done ? Thanks !!!

Check your configuration file(s) to ensure that they contain valid directives and data defintions.

[Nagios-users] Macro usage when sending SMS
Title: Macro usage when sending SMS
Hi all !!!
Just started as a Nagios user so I am new on the list.
I have nagios running and I also have a basic structure in place for
sending SMS'es ( using smstools ). I need to expand it now because I have
many people that want to be notified of only selected system information.
At this point in time, all contacts are sent ALL information.
So , bottom line is, I need to diffrentiate based on $USERNAME$ as defined in
my contacts.
define command{
command_name notify-by-sms
command_line /usr/local/nagios/libexec/send_sms $HOSTNAME$ $HOSTSTATE$ $USERNAME
}
And then in ../libexec , my "send_sms"-script looks as follows: ( This is how it looks CURRENTLY )
#!/bin/bash
HOST = $1
STATE = $2
../sms/smstools/scripts/sendsms 082111 "$HOST $STATE"
../sms/smstools/scripts/sendsms 08 "$HOST $STATE"
[ entry for each cell-number ]
I would like to make use of $USERNAME$ to control what gets sent to who.
But, when I print the contents of $USERNAME$ in the script, it is either blank or
it contains "-".
I do have all my contacts defined in my ../minimal.cfg file
OS = CentOS4.0
Nagios 2.4
smstools 2.2.4
a Pointer would be much appreciated ???
Thanks !
John Longland
