 Hi,
 
 I want to see all unhandled service problems and all unhandled host problems 
 on one page.
 I thought, this URL would do it:
 status.cgi?host=allservicestatustypes=28serviceprops=42hoststatustypes=12hostprops=42

I use


status.cgi?host=alltype=detailhoststatustypes=6hostprops=10serviceprops=42servicestatustypes=60

It doesn't show Hosts without defined services, so all my hosts have the
service PING defined., too.
 

 But it doesn't. It shows nothing instead of the down hosts and services I 
 have.
 
 Any ideas ?
 
 Kind regards,

 Hi All, 
  
 I was wondering if anybody had anything place to see multiple hosts

 servers. I can add these to a hostgroup then check each individually :
  
 http://SERVER/nagios/cgi-bin/status.cgi?host=HOSTNAMEstyle=detail
  
 http://SERVER/nagios/cgi-bin/status.cgi?host=HOSTNAME2style=detail
  
 http://SERVER/nagios/cgi-bin/status.cgi?host=HOSTNAME3style=detail
  
 Is there any way to have 3 different host details such as the above but
 on one page ? So I can have a quick glance of exchange 1, 2 and 3 

yes, put them in a group :

 Hi all!
 
 Is there any variable where I can configure each how long are sent the

 hourly.

look for notification_interval in the documentation

(I've set it to zero, so there is only one mail)

 
 On the other hand, I would like also to know if it is possible to define
 the maximum number of notifications that are sent.
 
 I read exist variables that allow to configure both things using
 escalations, although I do not have defined escalations.

This can be defined with the Notification Escalations (see. the

 I believe that a state of socket timeout will always be flagged as
 critical, though you can increase the max_check_attempts so it won't
 throw a notification so soon if you know of false positives.

Sometimes these periods last for a an hour so, on some machines it's
because of shitty connections to another continent or in countries with
unstable infrastructure.

 Of course figuring out the cause of your false positives is probably
 the better solution.

Most of time I know the cause, but it is not solvable in a cheap way :-)
The relevant services are still working, but if the monitored values pass
the thresholds, I want to know it, not if connection fails.

[Nagios-users] servicedependencies and flapping

2009-02-19 Thread Klaus Umbach
I defined servicedependencies for all check_nrpe-based services depending
on NSClient++ on the Windows-hosts, so I only get one notification if for
any reason NSClient++ doesn't respond, which works quite well. Now for some
reason on a host the connection to NSClient++ starts flapping and I get
FLAPPINGSTART and FLAPPINGSTOP messages for all the dependent services and
not only for my NSClient++-service.

How can I stop this?

[Nagios-users] Notifications when CRITICAL-WARNING, but not OK-WARNING

2009-02-17 Thread Klaus Umbach
Hi,
is it possible, to get notifications, if a service switches from CRITICAL
back to WARNING, but not OK to WARNING?

Background: We only want critical messages on our pager at night but if a
service exeeds a critical threshold and falls back to warning, we get no
back to WARNING-message. This especially annoying, if the CRITICAL was
not because of a threshold-problem, but because of a temporary refused
connection of NRPE...

Any ideas?

Hi,
I would like to delay notifications at night for 10 minutes. According to
the documentation, first_notification_delay is only possible for service
and host objects but not for contacts.

I was thinking about using escalations, but they start counting after the
last attempt of a check and after the first error like
first_notification_delay.

Any ideas how to setup my needs. (except changing configuration-files by
cron! :-) )

 Hi Marc,
 
 Thanks for the reply. I am even now vague about how to proceed.
 
 Let me tell you the need :
 
 I have to open http://ww12.1800flowers.com/signin.do and enter my
 email(svenugop...@gmail.com) and password(podhum) in order to login.

Why did you give us a valid user/password combination? :-)


 
 When I login using the above valid credentials it would take me to the
 next page or otherwise throw an error.
 
 How do I compose the command line for check_http ?
 
 Though this looks like a lot of hand holding, I have no other go.
 
 Can you please help ?

  Hi,
 
  Can I do a check on a particular website by supplying the username

  To be clear :
 
  Assume that I want to check whether login action happens properly on 
  my website which is www.venu.com. And the login page name is
 www.venu.com/signup.do
   . This form would take username and password and send a POST 
  request to www.venu.com/autorize.do. How will i check this in nagios ?
 
  If it had been GET method, I would have done that. But in my case, 
  it is POST method
 
 Since you're using forms based authentication, use the -P parameter to 
 check_http.
 
 $ ./check_http --help
 
 [chop]
 
   -P, --post=STRING
  URL encoded http POST data
 
 
 check_http -I ipaddress of serve -H www.venu.com -u /autorize.do -P 
 usernamefield=usernamepasswordfield=password
 
 If you need something more complex than that you might want to search 
 for past posts about use of perl's WWW::Mechanize or 
 Nagios::WebTransact to help create a custom plugin.
 
 Note for future readers, if the site uses standard htaccess 
 authentication then '-a username:password' if the format.

[Nagios-users] NSClient++, CheckDriveSize and perfdata

2009-01-21 Thread Klaus Umbach
Hi,

I check the drives with 

check_nrpe -H $HOST -c CheckDriveSize -a Drive=C ShowAll=long 
MaxWarnUsed=90% MaxCritUsed=95%

This has a result like:

OK: C:: 29.3G - Used: 5.73G (19%) - Free: 23.6G (81%)|'C:'=19%;90;95;

Is it possible, to somehow increase the accuracy of the fillstate in
percent in the perfdata? like: 'C:'=19.5;90;95;

Background: I use nagiosgrapher to paint funny pictures, and on a drive
with 1TB, a change of 1% is 10GB.

[Nagios-users] NSClient++ and CheckEventLog

2009-01-19 Thread Klaus Umbach
Hi,

I wonder why the following check works on a German Windows 2k3 server, but
not on an English one. To me this makes no sense... NSC.ini is the same.

CheckEventLog filter=new file=application MaxWarn=1 MaxCrit=1 
filter+generated=2h filter==eventID=888

Errormessage: EventlogBuffer is too small (set the value of buffer_size): 122 
The data area passed to a system call is too small.

NSClient++ Version: 0.3.5.1 2008-09-24 (32bit)

Maybe the language is just a coincidence...

Cheers
Klaus

 It has nothing to do with language...

 The reason is that one of them has an entry which is too long so you  
 need to update the buffer used when NSClinet++ reads the eventlog.
 The simplest way to solve this is to increase the buffer_size variable  
 to something large enough.
 If you check the wiki/forums on nsclient.org you can find some values  
 that worked for others or you can play around and find what works for 
 you.

Thanks!

buffer_size=52 worked. Now I have to change it everywhere... :-(

[Nagios-users] status.cgi-parameter question

2009-01-08 Thread Klaus Umbach
Hi,

I want status.cgi to show me the following: All hosts and services in the
status (NOT ok OR flapping) NOT (acknowleded OR scheduled_downtime)

Right now I have NOT ok NOT (acknowleded OR scheduled_downtime) with the
following parameters:

host=all
type=detail
servicestatustype=16
hoststatustype=6
hostprobs=10
serviceprobs=42
servicestatustypes=28

With my unterstanding, to get what I want, I just have to add 1024 to
hostprobs and serviceprobs, but that doesn't work.

What am I doing wrong?

Cheers
Klaus

 The coutners.defs is there as a fall back so it is probably never used...

So is there a way of asking NSClient++ language independent for e.g.

or do I have to define different services for different languages?

[Nagios-users] Periodic downtime of a server

2008-09-22 Thread Klaus Umbach
Hi,

How to I configure a periodic downtime of a server?

My scenario:

7 groups of servers, each group gets rebooted on a specific weekday at 4am.
(windows-servers, they reboot them before they crash!)

If I change the check_period of the host to a timeperiod that
excepts 3:30 - 4:30 I still get the notifications for all the services on
the host, because nagios does not know, the host is down.

If I change the notification_period of the host, Nagios stops checking the
services when the host is down, but as some of them take a while to boot, I get
the notifications after the host is up again but not yet completelly up.

Can I somehow do a periodic scheduled downtime without using cron?

Cheers
Klaus

boot, I get the notifications after the host is up again but not yet
completelly up.
   
Can I somehow do a periodic scheduled downtime without using cron?
   
Cheers
Klaus

 From what i read on the nagios documentation , host groups have no 
 declaration for time periods .
 
 The time period should be defined in the host itself not the host group,
 http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/objectdefinitions.html#hostgroup

Sorry, I was wrong, I actually did define them in the host definition.

I already have defined specific timeperiods. I don't want to limit the
notifications, I don't want to be notified at all between 3:30 and
4:30, no matter if the host or a service has a problem.
   
 # 'exchange-servers' timeperiod definition

  If I change the check_period of the host to a timeperiod that
  excepts 3:30 - 4:30 I still get the notifications for all the

[Nagios-users] freshness_threshold question

I have a local script to backup my Nagios-machine, which writes its status

OK it switches back to CRITICAL. The service is passive and the

[Nagios-users] differentiate a WARNING - OK and CRITICAL - OK

Hi,

is it possible, to differentiate the status change from WARNING to OK and
from CRITICAL to OK?

Background: I don't want WARNINGs on the pager at night, just CRITICAL and
the corresponding OKs, but not the OKs from WARNINGs.

I have a service on a windows-box to check, which has a  in the name.
(With check_nt and nsclient++)

with 'SERVICESTATE -l Foo  Bar' it checks for the services 'foo' and

How do I check this?

2008/8/25 Michael Medin [EMAIL PROTECTED]

  I would say: use NRPE instead :)

 but perhaps this is a bug, I have seen the reports on and off but haven't
 had time to look into it (since it is so easily solved with NRPE)


NRPE? To check a Windows-Box? No, that's not really funny...

I found out, how it works:Windows Services always have 2 names, the internal
one is better, than the description-name.

[Nagios-users] Problem with Service Escalation 3.0rc3

2008-03-04 Thread Klaus
Dear All,
 
as stated above, I am running nagios 3.0rc3 and I seem to have a lack of
understanding.
I should state that I am new to nagios.
 
I plan to have a host and service escalation for all hosts (with their
associated services) belonging to a specific hostgroup. So here is what I
have so far:
 
define hostgroup{
hostgroup_namegroup1
alias group1
}
 
define contact{
contact_name   groupNetwork
usegeneric-contact
alias  groupNetwork
email   mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]
}
 
define host{
usewindows-server
host_name  host1
alias  Host 1
hostgroups group1
address10.0.0.1
parentsDUSSW00
contacts   defaultContact
}
 
define hostescalation{
hostgroup_namegroup1
contacts  groupNetwork
first_notification1
last_notification 0
notification_interval 120
escalation_period workhours
}
define serviceescalation{
service_description*
hostgroup_name group1
contacts   groupNetwork
first_notification 1
last_notification  0
notification_interval  120
escalation_period  workhours
}
 

When I try to start nagios, it tells me that it Could not expand services
specified in service escalation.
 
The plan is to send a mail to defaultContact 24x7 and to groupNetwork only
in the working hours. When I remove the service escalation, I only get
notifications when the host is down (guess this is by design).
 
Is there any other way how I can achieve this?
 
Any help is very much appretiated.
 
Cheers
Klaus

[Nagios-users] SIGEXIT shutting down Nagios 2.9 on Solaris 10

2007-07-12 Thread Bonaparte, Klaus
We've been running Nagios 2.9 on Solaris 10 for a few weeks now and have
noticed our Nagios server suddenly shutting down with the following in
nagios.log:

[1184189631] Caught SIGEXIT, shutting down...

 

No one has been logged in at the time of these failures and nothing else
is in the log files. Is there a known bug in Nagios 2.9? I've never seen
this with the Nagios 2.4 we run on another Solaris 10 server and we are
considering downgrading our Nagios 2.9 to Nagios 2.4 since it has been
more stable.

 

Thanks,

Klaus

Re: [Nagios-users] Debugging Nagios?

2007-06-13 Thread Bonaparte, Klaus
nagios.log and syslog were of no value, but I was able to build with
debug (./configure --enable-DEBUGALL) and see where Nagios is forcing
all checks to occur at midnight tomorrow.
I've seen several posts on this with questions, but no answers. Does
anyone know how to fix the scheduling in Nagios so it does not schedule
all checks at midnight every day?

output below is from running 'bin/nagios -s etc/nagios.cfg' with debug
on.
Notice that all checks are scheduled for midnight tomorrow.

What a great question! Well there's nagios.log in /var/spool/nagios,



use_syslog=1


log_event_handlers=1
log_initial_states=1
log_external_commands=1
log_passive_checks=1
log_notifications=1
log_service_retries=1

But getting debug out the schedule probably requires a debug build of
the binary.

PS It could be worse, you could be trying to debug a plugin/module.

2007-06-13 Thread Bonaparte, Klaus
EUREEKA!!!
Thanks to some other users for pointing this out and helping me
resolve...
Somehow when I converted config files from Nagios 1.x to 2.9, my
timeperiods.cfg was messed up and had the 24x7 entry going from
0:00-0:00 everyday, when it should have been 0:00-24:00 everyday. This
caused all my checks to be scheduled at midnight everyday.
Thanks for all the help with debugging flags and config files.

Klaus

nagios.log and syslog were of no value, but I was able to build with
debug (./configure --enable-DEBUGALL) and see where Nagios is forcing
all checks to occur at midnight tomorrow.
I've seen several posts on this with questions, but no answers. Does
anyone know how to fix the scheduling in Nagios so it does not schedule
all checks at midnight every day?

output below is from running 'bin/nagios -s etc/nagios.cfg' with debug
on.
Notice that all checks are scheduled for midnight tomorrow.

[Nagios-users] Problems on Solaris 10?

2007-06-12 Thread Klaus Bonaparte
Has anyone else had problems running the latest Nagios 2.9 on Solaris 10 
(SPARC)?
I've noticed a few issues, but most notably that hundreds of service checks are 
not scheduled with 24 hours of starting Nagios, even though the check interval 
is 10 minutes for most checks.
Just wondering if perhaps some dependencies need to get updated or similar.

[Nagios-users] Debugging Nagios?

2007-06-12 Thread Bonaparte, Klaus
How do you debug Nagios to determine why it is no longer running any
checks?

I see checks scheduled in the queue, but then time passes and they get
removed from the top of the queue as if they were run but their status
never changes, nothing is logged in nagios.log or syslogs, and once in a
while you can see nagios processes running?

 

Any help? Debug flags or common things to look for?

 

Klaus

[Nagios-users] service check intervals ignored

2007-06-08 Thread Klaus Bonaparte
My service check intervals seem to be ignored and Nagios is checking every 
service once a day at 0:00. I've never seen this problem with older Nagios. The 
scheduling queue has almost every check running at 0:00 the next day, instead 
of spreading checks out. Help!?
