Hi
I am trying to use this option but the issue I have now is with the
following:
The output from the /proc/meminfo is as follows:
MemFree: 206788 kB
However, when I try to use cut in order to only get the numeric value, the
output I get back does not work that well as it still includes the spaces
infront of the numeric value as well as the kb at the end...
I have even tried this with free and the same result
What should I use as delimiter to the cut command?
Any other suggestions on how to only get the numeric value?
Commands used with output:
cat /proc/meminfo | grep MemTotal | cut -f 2 -d :
output :
2067884 kB
As you can see the spaces are all out of place.
I have also noticed that when using a space as delimiter and counting
the spaces to the value, then you get the result, however if the numeric
value increase by one digit (i.e. from 6 digits to 7 digits for instance)
then the amount of spaces change and the program does not work.

Looc at the /proc/meminfo file and the vmstat command.
Divide memory parameter (free, used, whatever) by total memory, multiply by
100 and you have percent.

Hi Everyone
Maybe someone can assist me, but this may be a more linux specific question
than Nagios even though related to Nagios.
I need to monitor the memory usage in percentage on Nagios and would like
to rather write my own scripts for this.
I know there are snmp versions of this to do the job for me, however I do
not want to complicate the systems with too many clients running on them.
Currently we are using the normal nrpe to connect to the systems and run
scripts remotely, however we do not have one to monitor the memory.
On the web there are a lot of references to the snmp commands but
as all the systems are production and we might be having a couple of upgrades
soon, I would like to rather keep it simple and only run one client on it for
all Nagios connections.
My question is this... I can use the command free to get the
amount of memory , used, free etc...
How can I write this into a script to display as percentages...
is there another command I can use or maybe an option that I do not know
about?

Fair enough, looking forward to version 2 of NLG! Cheers /Lars Andy Shellam wrote: Hi Lars, I agree with you 100%. If I, as a user (techie or not), looking at my own machines, I'd expect some sort of summary; I wouldn't care about anyone else's or even the network as a whole. As you quite rightly said Lars, the 'overall health' needs to be aimed at the users select machines. NLG v1, however, has no concept of machine ownership, it simply shows the entire Nagios estate. This isn't a fault, that's how it was designed. It is, however, also where it falls down, and the need for a solution targeted to a different audience becomes apparent, hence the v2 project. I designed v1 originally for my own use, to present users who have signed up to my services as an ISP with an overview of my network and how well (or badly) it was performing. Users didn't have machines or services of their own; they just wanted to be able to see if network problems were affecting the servers they may use. Since I released it to the Nagios community last year, a wider audience have seen the potential for using NLG in ways it wasn't originally designed, which is fantastic because it means I get the chance to build on the success of the project, and hopefully design and build a solution that more and more people will find useful :-) The host-filter hack was indeed a hack as many people were requesting the same thing, but with the current code architecture it wasn't possible to do a permanent fix, and it was indeed a hack put in simply to tide people over until v2 is ready.

I was first taken aback by at the thought of needing a coupon to buy an addon to Nagios until I went to their site. The plugin is entirely free and a great contribution in support of Nagios. The hardware that enables the product to work is what is sold. I wouldn't expect them to be providing the hardware for free ;) Fair enough, sounds reasonable. But I still would like this list, and all the rest of the mailing lists I attend, to stay clear of expressions like discount coupon codes. There's got to be other ways of advertising your products. And please don't misunderstand me: I'm all for products like WebReboot and others that takes the excellent nagios software in to the corporate world. If done properly, that can only be good for the product in question, and therefor good for anyone using the product, be it in a non-profit or commercial capacity (like myself:). However, I still don't want to be lured into reading discount coupon codes or anything similar on this or any other open source software mailing list. The advertising of open source (or any other) software products already occupy most if not all other media channels. Leave the mailing lists alone!

[Nagios-users] nagios-3.0rc2 application/wav
Hi All, downloaded nagios-3.0rc2, installed and seems to work nicely. However, in my Firefox browser, when looking at the nagios web interface, I get a message saying that I should install missing plugin for application/wav (both on Linux - Firefox 2.0.0.10 - and Windows XP - Firefox 2.0.0.11). Where can I find such a plugin (and what's the story)? R /Lars - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

Make sure you can ping them. Then setup a service to do that at a relative high rate. And make all other services dependent on that ping service. Then say you do not care about unreachable services. Just make sure that ping reaches a hard state before any service can reach a hard state. You don't even need that. Obviously you won't need to know then these systems are down, so just set the notification_options to n in the host setup and you'll never get paged when the host is down. Good one. Implemented. Nagios check logic is to make sure a host is up before sending a service alert. If the host is down, you get HOST DOWN notification instead of any service alert, and obviously id you disable host notifications you'll get nothing. Very good. Take note of the following: If you need to monitor many hosts, you will likely be more comfortable with Nagios 3 as it can schedule host checks instead of running them in serial, which can be a problem if many hosts are down. I'm on latest 3.x with just a few hosts. Ideally use check_icmp instead of check_ping and fine-tune the parameters so that it returns within one second on dead hosts. This will make the host check be performed much faster. This is most useful in Nagios 2 due to the limitation mentioned above. I wouldn't know how to tweak it, but I'm trying check_icmp -n 1 at the moment, and it seems to take about 1.08 to 1.15 seconds. Good enough maybe? Or can you give any further advice on tweaking check_icmp? The tricky part is host coming back up. On some systems the network comes up before all services are up so you'll get notifications for these services. There's no easy way around that, but personally I'd look into event handlers. Seems like a good idea. I have a feeling that the new Adaptive Monitoring might be useful. I will try that in the next step of testing. Thanks for your help, I'll report back to this list on my progress. Thanks /Lars You could set-up an event handler for hosts and: - - When a volatile host goes HARD DOWN, disable notifications for all services by sending the appropriate command to the host. - - When a volatile host goes HARD UP, sleep 1 or 2 minutes then enable notifications for all services. You will probably have to fork before any sleep in your event handler to avoid blocking Nagios...

I then renamed the file to PING.ncfg and this time the restart seems to get it right. Is this a known issue with the names of the template files? Must they match the service name exactly? No, to my understanding they can be named anything, but the files has to have the .ncfg at the end. The actual matching takes place in the service_name statement of the .ncfg file against the service_description of the nagios service definition. I have, on the other hand, been bitten by the permission of the files.

[Nagios-users] Howto monitor intermittent clients
Hi All, I know this is a bit of an odd one, but still: I'm looking for ways of monitoring intermittent clients, i.e. client computers that are not always there, like laptops that come and go or similar, clients that gets switched off after work hours. Ideally, without installing anything on the clients, so that sort of rules out passive checking. Instead, I would like to use active checking (e.g. using SNMP), but configured in a way so that when a host is unreachable or down, that's OK, and the services needn't be checked. Whereas if the client host is on line, all defined services should be checked and issue alarms and so on if check results in CRITICAL or WARNING, as per usual. Any ideas appreciated /Lars - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

Re: [Nagios-users] rrd gaps
Eric Aiken wrote:
Hi Gerd
Hi Gerd
I'm struggling with the undocumented interface-file feature. I have the
same gaps problem. I've implemented your suggestions, but I'm confused about
how the data get's converted into rrd's.
with the pipe's version my command.cfg contained
define command{
command_nameprocess-service-perfdata
command_line/usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/contrib/fifo_write.pl
/var/log/nagios/rw/ngraph.pipe '$HOSTNAME$ $SERVICEDESC$
$SERVICEOUTPUT$ $SERVICEPERFDATA$' 3
}
This passed the data into the pipe where the collect2.pl was watching and
converted the data in rrd's
with the file version, I removed that definition and replaced it with:
define command{
command_name process-service-perfdata-file
command_line mv /usr/local/nagios/var/service-perfdata
/usr/local/nagios/var/service-perfdata.$TIMET$
}
Now Nagios sends the data to service-prefdata, which is mv'd to a timestamped
file periodically.
How is the data supposed to get converted into rrd's now? How does the
collect2.pl daemon know when to process the files? As it is now, no rrd
files are generated. collect2.pl is running, nagios is sending the data to
/dev/shm/service-perfdata and then they are moved to
/dev/shm/service-perfdata.stamp.
The collect2.pl picks up the timestamped files,
processes them and deletes them. Provided that
the NagiosGrapher configuration file, i.e
/etc/nagios/ngraph.ncfg or something similar,
has the correct (file) settings.
As I said earlier, following Gerds instructions
to the letter worked just fine for me.

my fifo version worked, it just had gaps.

Also note that graphing worked as a fifo albeit with gaps.
This really comes down to why collect2.pl is not converting
the files into rrds. How can I verify that it's trying to run?
Look at the log file, which should be defined using the log_file
directive together wth the log_level in /etc/nagios/ngraph.cfg,
or wherever you keep the NagiosGrapher configuration file.
I have the following, which gives loads of info in the log:

[Nagios-users] net-snmp raid check

:-) Yes, many thanks to Peter Tuschy, who wrote this patch.
BTW: Today we put a current release on NagiosExchange. Hopefully this
will be the next stable release. Zooming of graphs is the newest feature
in this version.
I tried it and it works alright in the sense that the graphs
gets created, but unfortunately the graph icons shows up with
the red border and no graph. Clicking on it does however take
me to a good grahp, as per usual.
Also, the zoom function your talking about, where do I find it?

Hi,
the old NagiosGrapher interfaces (network/pipe) can cause huge
latency :-(. Thanks to a patch we got there is a new interface type
file. The main advantages of this new interface are:
* no gaps any more
* no latency caused by NagiosGrapher
* restarting NagiosGrapher does not cause any gaps
I am sorry but the documentation totally lacks this interface. But below
is all you need.
Cheers,

Lars and Gerd,
I am having a similar problem with rrd gaps.
It was doing fine until I added 3 more hosts and 8 more services and then
suddenly I get the rrd gaps, some graphs are even blank.

Re: [Nagios-users] rrd gaps Virus checked
Marcus Fleige wrote: Hi there, here's my 2 cents about the gaps: From my experience, gaps are normally caused by missing datasets over a period of time. RRD expects data within a time window defined in the step and heartbeat variables. If data doesn't arrive in this window, the value for the defined time frame is set to NaN (Not a number), resulting in not being displayed in the generated image. Missing datasets are often caused by: - Huge service latencies, e.g. if you got lots of services to be checked in a rather short period of time. (Got this with 3k services, which should be checked in a period of 2 minutes - 25 Checks/second is quite a lot...) - non-fitting service check intervals. If you check your services in a 15 minute interval, but your rrd files expect data every 5 minutes, only every third time frame will be filled, resulting in gaps. Maybe this is of some use. It is, it explains a lot. I'll do some adjustments and tests and report back to this thread. Thanks /L - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

Re: [Nagios-users] execute command as root user
Martin Koeck wrote: Hello, I know this is more OS related and not so much nagios related, but I thought maybe somebody has stumbled across this: I need, on a critical failure that is trapped by nagios (this works for me), to restart an application which I usually restart as root user on this machine. To be specific: Tomcat is giving up work now and then on this machine, I can trap it, and need to restart it. Normally I do this by /etc/init.d/tomcat restart -- but I need to be root for this, so nagios cannot do this automatically for me, because it runs as nagios user. What is the best way to approach this ? Changing the owner of the tomcat-related startup files so that nagios can do it ? Writing a file on-critical-error and restarting tomcat (as a cron-job), whenever that file exists ? Something else ? sudo and nagios eventhandler should do it. For security reasons, be as specific as possible in your sudo configuration, e.g.: [snip] nagios ALL=NOPASSWD:/etc/init.d/tomcat restart [snip] You'll have to look in nagios doco for eventhandlers, i've never used them. Another alternative, that we use here successfully, is to use monit from http://www.tildeslash.com/monit. Works like a charm and is a bit easier to setup than nagios eventhandlers (I think:). In monit you define simple criterias and subsequent actions, like restart. For example: memory out of bounds: restart, process missing: start, etc. Hope this helps /Lars - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Still grepping through log files to find problems?

I check my dhcp servers anyway, if I get an extra offer, an alarm is raised. This is automatic, has no extra overhead as I check my dhcp servers anyway as part of my monitoring. I have never seen a dhcpoffer being missed, but at the very least I run the check every 3 minutes so you're not going to get away with it here for more than that. I think the wrapper to check_dhcp is quick and effective with no overhead. What wrapper would that be, If one might ask? /Lars The best solution would be to extend the check_dhcp plugin, get into the C and add the functionality. Maybe if it's not done in the future I will come back and do it. Until then, the wrapper does exactly what I need. -h Hari Sekhon Brian A. Seklecki wrote: What about writing a custom plugin that uses this GPL prog to return the warning/critical/ok/pending values? That sounds very reasonable; there's always the possibility that you won't see, within your run time threshold, offers from a rouge server due to race conditions or other crud (slow networks, etc.). Of course, then you have a lot of proactive bogus DHCP Client activity coming from your Nagios system. The best solution of course, but not always the most feasible, is a SPAN port in your core: Simply: $ sudo tcpdump -n -e -vvv 'src port bootps !ether src 0:50:da:28:37:62' Replace the MAC with your know DHCP server.

howard chen wrote: Hello, I am comparing these two monitoring systems. My findings is: nagios provides more features than ganglia, but I know many people use them together. I don't why, is that some features is missing from nagios? From reading the doco: ganglia: more or less zero configuration, default checks geared towards clusters/grids. nagios: vast configuration options, create your own checks in addition to the default set. Deploying a cluster monitoring solution is far less work with ganglia. However, adding your own checks seems to require that you fiddle with the C code yourself. Or something to that effect. /Lars - This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML. No limits. Just data.

Hej :=)
Thanks Lars, still struggling in between, to get the ngraphs working for my
Check_nt services.
I tried what you said and i got the output data, but how to change it in the
ngraph definition? That seems to be not all that easy.
For example:
check_nt -H ip.ad.dre.ss -v USEDDISKSPACE -l c -p 12489 -w 90 -c 95
Will give the output:
c:\ - total: 3.95 Gb - used: 2.44 Gb (62%) - free 1.51 Gb (38%) | 'c:\ Used
Space'=2.44Gb;3.55;3.75;0.00;3.95
If I understand it correct it's the code in graph_perf_regex ([0-9]+)MB
that needs to match or read the output perf data from check_nt e.g | 'c:\
Used Space'=2.44Gb;3.55;3.75;0.00;3.95
define ngraph {
graph_legend Used Space
graph_perf_regex ([0-9]+)MB
graph_perf_regex ([0-9]+)Gb would match the above output's first column.
graph_value MBused
hide yes
rrd_color 00a000
rrd_plottype AREA
service_name Filesystems
}
Another example is the Check_nt Memory used
| 'Memory usage'=1367.25Mb;3588.48;4037.04;0.00;4485.60
Compared to output from Check_mem (native plugin)
| /=2848MB;17278;17268;0;17358 /boot=16MB;18;8;0;98
/dev/shm=0MB;170;160;0;250
And the Ngraph definition for the native plugin looks like this:
define ngraph {
graph_legend Memory Used
graph_perf_regex MemUsed=([0-9]+)%
There's a '%' character in the expected regular expression,
but there's no '%' character in the above output, hence it
doesn't match.
graph_value MemUsed
hide yes
rrd_color 00a000
rrd_plottype AREA
service_name Memuse
}
What do you think, or are there anyone else that knows how to changes this
so that I can get the perf data to be picked up by ngraph?
I think you might need to read up on regular expression matching:)

Hi to all,

I have been trying to find out how you get the graphs for monitored

It is working fine for the locahost (FC9) Memory, load, procs and users.
I added a windows machine with NSClient++, I added the service Ping to
both localhost and the windows machine, and the graphs are showing up
fine. But when I add Memory, procs, load service to the windows machine
no graphs shows. How come it works with ping for both localhost and
Windows machine? Even though I made sure that the service_description is
the same as for the localhost
I am about to go insain, please help? I know this belongs under

answers there, hoping that someone can help me here.
I'll just assume that you remembered to restart/reload
both NagiosGrapher and nagios when adding stuff in config.
There might be a difference in the performance data handed
back by NSClient as compared to the native check plugins.
The check_load, for instance, can be run manually. Now run the
check_load for the Windows boxes (whatever it's called) and
compare the output, especially the output to the righ of the '|'
character, i.e. the performance data delimiter. If they are not
the same, they wont fit the same graph definition.
Min you, I have no experience with NSClient at all, but still.
Cheers

[Nagios-users] NagiosGrapher problems
Hi All, I downloaded the latest NagiosGrapher-1.6.1-rc3a, and failed miserably to get it working. In the process I lost my NagiosGrapher-1.6.1-rc3, which worked perfectly. The nagiosexchange website doesn't seem to have the older versions available. So, does anyone have NagiosGrapher-1.6.1-rc3 available? Cheers /Lars - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

Hi there.

Also, I put that script (event_clamd), with 755 permission. This script
write to a file in /tmp in order to see if it run or not. I see it don't
takes the args (SERVICESTATETYPE SERVICESTATE...), so I try to run the
script by hand like this:
libexec/check_nrpe -H MYHOST -c event_clamd OK HARD 1
And I see it run but it doesn't get that arguments (OK, HARD, 1). I try
also:
libexec/check_nrpe -H MYHOST -c event_clamd -a OK HARD 1
CHECK_NRPE: Received 0 bytes from daemon. Check the remote server logs

Any help?
By default NRPE will ignore any passed command arguments. Have you made
sure
that you have dont_blame_nrpe set to 1 so that command arguments are
allowed?
In addition, nrpe need to be built with --enable-command-args.
It's all in the new doc's:

Standard plugins mostly support a -t switch to specify the timeout for the plugin. The nagios.cfg service check timeout is a catch-all for those that don't terminate themselves when they should. Ideally, each command definition would have a specific timeout for each plugin defined with -t and the nagios.cfg timeout would be the max possible value of your timeouts. In that scenario individual plugins would have unique timeout values and your max would catch any runaways. You could go further with that and actually pass the timeout value as a $ARGx$ macro to the command from your service definition allowing you very specific granularity in your timeout control. Since the duration of the run-time for your check is so long, I agree that it probably makes more sense to either run it out of cron and have it submit a passive check result or have it update a file that you then parse as an active check in nagios. Thanks for that. The plugin in question (check_rootkit) is a simple shell without any timeout option. I'm going for the passive check solution. Thank you /Lars - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

[Nagios-users] service timeout
I get (Service Check Timed Out) for one of my service checks (check_rootkit [rkhunter]), which could take a few minutes at times, so I've scheduled it to run every 20 minutes. Now, when getting the timeout, I went looking in the doco for some time out option and I couldn't find one. Well, I found the global configuration option service_check_timeout, but that doesn't really cut it for me. The check_rootkit plugin could take several minutes, and I wouldn't want to adjust the timeout for all services just because of the check_rootkit.

How do configure the address line to work with a client who is given an
address via DHCP?
We use DNS together with DHCP for our clients (and actually some
of the servers as well). The idea is that the DHCP client reports
its hostname for update of our own DNS server. In the service address
field we use the host name, not the IP address. In DHCP/DNS lingo this
is called Dynamic DNS Update (DDNS).
Hope this helps

Solved. There's not that much doco around for newbies like myself. Anyways, solution was to define proper services and service descriptions, one for each monitored file system, e.g. Disk Space: /home, Disk Space: /var, etc., and then use the updated check_disk.ncfg from the NagiosGrapher forum. That way I will still have to specify a service for each file system, and that's OK, but I can use the same check_disks.ncfg for all graphs and for all file systems. Cheers /Lars - Take Surveys.

[Nagios-users] NagiosGrapher + check_disk problem
Hi All, I wonder if anyone more knowledgeable than myself could help out: We're using nagios 2.7 (latest) + NagiosGrapher 1.6.1 RC2 (latest) together with the check_disk plugin from nagios-plugins 1.4.6. We monitor 26 file systems on one machine, monitoring is fine, and graphing for each of this is brilliant, except for one: the culprit is mounted on /var/downloads and the only anomaly I can think off is the name length, 14 char's. It's the longest name we have. 2nd longest is /var/archive, 12 char's, which by the way works just great, both monitoring and graphing (like all the rest of the file system monitoring and graphing). In fact, all file systems gets the great looking graphs, except for /var/downloads. Symptoms: 1. NagiosGrapher usually fills the serviceext file with proper configuration automatically. So it did for all the services, except for the /var/downloads. 2. Clicking on the graph icon reveals an error at the beginning: RRD Error: reading the cookie off /var/lib/nagios/perfdata/localhost failed. (and yes, I've tried clearing out - deleting - all perf data and then start the NagiosGrapher and nagios again). 3. ngraph.log says: 2007-02-14 15:28:19 PIPE: localhost /var/downloads DISK OK - free space: /var/downloads 315 MB (30% inode=-): /var/downloads=708MB;920;971;0;1023 2007-02-14 15:28:19 REGEX: 7 blocks for '/var/downloads' found. 2007-02-14 15:28:19 REGEX: perfdata=/var/downloads=708MB;920;971;0;1023 2007-02-14 15:28:19 REGEX: perfdata=/var/downloads=708MB;920;971;0;1023 2007-02-14 15:28:19 REGEX: perfdata=/var/downloads=708MB;920;971;0;1023 2007-02-14 15:28:19 REGEX: perfdata=/var/downloads=708MB;920;971;0;1023 2007-02-14 15:28:19 REGEX: perfdata=disk ok - free space: /var/downloads 315 mb (30% inode=-): 2007-02-14 15:28:19 VALUES: [localhost][/var/downloads]:No matching output values found... So the last line is supposedly telling me the problem. Only thing is, I don't understand what it means. Any help appreciated, this one got me baffled. /Lars - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

It would appear that the build is looking for the MySQL libraries to link with. On my SuSE Linux 10.2 I have a file called /usr/lib/libmysqlclient.so.15 that most certainly would be the one. Further investigation shows that the file belongs to mysql-shared-5.0.26-12.i586.rpm (on my distro at least). The rpm distro packagers do it slightly differently on different distros, but would you mind having a look and see if you got the mysql-shared rpm package somewhere in your distro, and if so make sure it's installed. Failing that, see if you can find any other mysql related rpm packages that are not yet installed. /L - Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?

Re: [Nagios-users] That didn't work what next?
Sam Fraser wrote: Hello Nagios users, I've been having trouble installing nagios plugins as part of my first nagios installation. I was advised by someone on this email group that it was because I didn't have mysql server installed. I've now installed mysql server but still get some very strange errors when compiling the plugins and i don't know what they mean. Any other suggestions? Well, I did actually say more than that:| You still seem to be missing the mysql source files, especially [/usr/include/]mysql/errmsg.h and [/usr/include/]mysql/mysql.h. It's either that or, if your mysql source files are in place, you have to tell the plugin build were they are by means of the configure option --with-mysql, in case they are in a nonstandard place. If you have a look at the configure option --with-mysql, try ./configure --help, you'll see that the --with-mysql is looking for the location of the file mysql_config, which is part of the mysql-devel rpm package, and therefore part of the source code. So, if you've installed your mysql source code into /usr/local for example, the proper configure statement would be ./configure --with-mysql=/usr/local It would help, and make it easier to help you, if you told us some details about your environment, such as OS, distro, version, etc. For example, on a SuSE Linux 10.2 box with the mysql-devel rpm package installed, the plugins builds nicely. Also, since it's the continuation of the same problem, you might want to stay within the original thread.

Other people have mentioned console tools so I won't bother.
But did you know that with ssh access you have access to every port on
the remote machine?
Yes, thank you, the ssh tunneling solution has been considered.
The lines we are using do use ssh, but with no tunneling
capabilities built in. Also, there's too many hops before
we get to the target machine to make that solution feasible.
Thanks

SSH(1)
-L [bind_address:]port:host:hostport
Specifies that the given port on the local (client) host is to be
forwarded to the given host and port on the remote side. This
works by allocating a socket to listen to port on the local side,
optionally bound to the specified bind_address. Whenever a con-
nection is made to this port, the connection is forwarded over
the secure channel, and a connection is made to host port
hostport from the remote machine.
ssh -L 8080:localhost:80 your-nagios-box
http://localhost:8080/
So here you're hitting port 8080 on your desktop machine and the packets
are getting sent over your SSH connection to the HTTP port on the nagios
server.
If the HTTP server on the nagios box isn't bound to localhost you'll
have to specify (in the ssh command) the hostname or IP that it is bound
to.
('netstat -tnl | grep :80' can help you find out)
Windows ssh clients such as PuTTY can also do port forwarding.

Anyone seen this? Have you tried running fping itself as the nagios user? You'll probably get the following... [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ /usr/local/sbin/fping This program can only be run by root, or it must be setuid root. Thus, you'll need to address this before the check_fping plugin will work. Yes, thank you, I just discovered that. However, all I got from check_fping was FPING - WARNING, somewhat misleading. A bit of guesswork and trial and error showed that the check_fping has to be executed as root. In my environment all nagios processes are run by nagios, so I did the suid trick and now it works.
