Re: [Nagios-users] Acknowledgement notifications, getting details

[Marcel]

there is the notify-service-bby-email command, you should try:

# 'notify-service-by-email' command definition
define command{
command_namenotify-service-by-email
command_line/usr/bin/printf "%b" "* Nagios
*\n\nNotification
 Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\n\nService: $SERVICEDESC$\nHost:

404 means that either you don't have the nagios.conf sourced in httpd.conf
or you haven't restarted httpd, don't see any other choice here.

Re: [Nagios-users] Two IP for the Same server

[Marcel]

Well,

This could be completely out of line, but what if custom macros and a custom
host check was baked for this kind of situation?

He could associate a custom macro and a custom host check that uses that
custom macro to try to achieve what he wants.

Any ideas?

Re: [Nagios-users] Performance

[Marcel]

well, SNMP is a proper Nagios client.

With rocommunity and firewall rules, security isn't a big deal.

I'm using SNMP to actively issue checks when passive transport get stalled.
It tries to send the passive result, expecting good return code from
send_nsca (and could check for cron, try to determine if server is
thrashing, and so on), or, sends back to snmpget the result.

Cheers,
Marcel

Re: [Nagios-users] $SERVICEOUTPUT$ missing from emails.. Nagios 3.2.1

[Marcel]

from the docs, $SERVICEOUTPUT$ just prints the first output line. If by any
chance your plugin is outputting "\n$SERVICEOUTPUT$\n" the all you'll get
would be a blank line.

However, you can try using $LONGSERVICEOUTPUT$, as it prints everything from
plugins' output.

Re: [Nagios-users] Next Scheduled Check is N/A or set in the past.

[Marcel]

Look if you have more than one nagios process running.

/etc/init.d/nagios stop; ps -fu nagios

If after nagios stop you still have nagios processes, then killall nagios.

then fresh start and see if scheduling is ok.

if not the you have clock/timezone problems, or something alien..

Re: [Nagios-users] Problems with distributed monitoring

[Marcel]

With only 150 services, it should not delay that much nor stops execution of
the main process.
Please check you main nagios.cfg file and look for *command_check_interval*,
if the value attributed to that variable isn't *"-1"* then there is your
problem.

Also, which nagios version are you running?

Re: [Nagios-users] Problems with distributed monitoring

Make sure you understand the underlying design of distributed nagios setup.
Obssessive-Compulsive (ocsp) command need to be correctly configurated on
nagios slave.

[Nagios-users] Full Throttle Nagios

[Marcel]

Hi list,

Several times I'm asked about Nagios latency when the number of services go
over a certain number.

Is there any tweak to have nagios scale checkings more than it would after
tweaking every configuration option for boosting performance?

It seems that nagios don't do the best job at taking the hardware to its
real limits.

When I have more than, say, 10k checks, I start seen check latency rises and
there just isn't anything that could be done, even distributed monitoring
have the nagios.cmd write-lock bottleneck.

I'm asking if there is by design that nagios don't thrases the server when
the number of checks reaches certain limits.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thank you

Re: [Nagios-users] Full Throttle Nagios

[Marcel]

Again, thank you for all the quick answers. This list/community is
awesome!!!

I'm already using tmpfs, increased named pipe buffer size, did everything
that one is supposed to do in order to increase performance.

I think I'd go with removing sleep calls in the code. I'm at version 3.2.1
and would love to have a look at Max's patch!

Notification is not my bottleneck, and this is not for my own nagios
install, it's for someone else, so I cannot post nagios.cfg here. Sorry.

But again, thanks for all the answers!!!

Perhaps if you're upgrading and haven't touched the resources.cfg, then you
could be having issues with $USER1$ defined for your previous installation.

Well,

Android powered devices with rooted Operational Systems have the ability to

Are you sure you are trying to test plugin execution with the nagios user?
Try that.

[Nagios-users] Custom Macros in Service Definitions?

[Marcel]

Hi,

I have several webservers that have over 20 (virtual)interfaces each.

So I've defined the host with custom macros for each private IP:

define host{
   use  linux-server
   _ip_private_VIP_1 10.4.200.101
   _ip_private_VIP_2 10.4.201.101
   ...
   }

Now I want to refer to this $_HOSTip_provate_VIP_1$ macro in services
definitions, but nagios is complaining about not finding the service.

The documentation isn't clear whether or not custom macros could be used in
service definitions.

I've a command like this:

define command{
   command_name   check_http_str_return_args
   command_line  $USER1$/check_http -I $ARG1$ $ARG2$
   }

And the service definition:

define service{
   use generic-service
   (...)
   check_command check_http_str_return_args!$_HOSTip_private_VIP_1$!-u / -t
10 -w 3 -c 5 -e HTTP/1.1 200 OK
   }

My question is:

Is it by design that custom macros should NOT be used in service
definitions?

Because I'd need to create ONE COMMAND per VIP just to use custom macros?

I would like to set just one services, to use just ONE command, and be able
to check the whole webserver farm.

Best regards,
Marcel

[Nagios-users] MACRO SPANNING

[Marcel]

Hi,

Do nagios does multiple MACRO SPANNING?

I mean... If I define a service with a custom host macro
$_HOST_ip_private_VIP_1$, and the command is defined as $USER1$/check_http
-I $ARG1$, is Nagios able to span the $_HOST_ip_private_VIP_1$ macro when
substituting it by $ARG1$ ??

Re: [Nagios-users] Custom Macros in Service Definitions?

[Marcel]

Greetings Marc,

Well, I've wrapped the command in question with /bin/echo { command_line
def. } >> /tmp/check_http_jmx.log to see what Nagios is issuing.

The -I flag of the check_http command was being issued with just a dollar
sign ($) as it's parameter.

So i think it's a matter of macro double spanning, because there is a custom
macro ($_HOSTIP_PRIVATE_VIP_1$) being passed to be spanned by $ARG1$ at the
command_line definition. I do not know If I ever saw or used a configuration
like this.

I don't think is a problem of quoting, because Nagios should replace
$_HOSTIP_PRIVATE_VIP_1$ by it's custom host value say, 10.0.0.1, and then
pass this value to be replaced at $ARG1$ standard command macro, but all I
see is a dolar sign being issued by nagios as a parameter of -I.

Then my second question in my next email about double macro spanning.

Do you think it could be a configuration problem?

Best regards,
Marcel

Capitalize the varname: $_HOSTSSHPORT$

Instead of the documentation saying that it is case insensitive, it only
works on TOUPPER variable name representation.

You should create a contact, assign it to a contactgroup, and then use this
contactgroup as a object variable in host/service object definitions.

Nagios is more likely to be used as an exception monitoring tool, though it
might be used to generate graphs as well.

Load means the number of processes per processor waiting in the scheduler's
RUN QUEUE. The load1 is the average of that number in the last minute, load5
it's the same average within 5 minutes, and load15 the same for the last 15
minutes. It does NOT relates to memory leak detection.

You can setup a memcached to hold the last status information for all
services, and a perfdata command or whatever wrapper to input data to
memcache.

Re: [Nagios-users] What would you want in a replacement web interface?

[Marcel]

I'd like (and i think this is the answer for question #3):

* mobile webpages;
* customizable ajax/web2.0 interface;

Answers:
#1) the tactical overview is fine;
#2) would like to see what check commands nagios is issuing (for the need of
troubleshooting, issuing the same command nagios triggers is a pain) - an
easier way too see configured thresholds and the full command line and
output.

There is a check_mrtg plugin, if i recall correctly, you can check against

[Nagios-users] flapping detection and recovery notifications

[Marcel]

Hi list,

If I've flapping detection it supresses a Recovery notification in the event
of the flapping detection start just in the case of a Recovery Notification?


Is there a way to have flapping detection to NOT supress notification in the
Recovery event?

I start creating a directory named after the DataCenter or location, maybe:
/opt/nagios/etc/object/Dallas

There I create several files, each containing one host{} directive, without
hostgroups or whatever.

Then, the first service{name ping\n check_command\t
check_icmp\nhostgroup_name all (...)} is applied to a hostgroup
{hostgroup_name all\n alias all CIs\n members .*} (I've turned on the true
regexp matching).

With just these steps you can have all your CI's setup properly.

Well,

You should tell us some setups:

please post the define for this service, and what kind of service it is? it
is a by-email notification service?  Or it is a webservice where you tell
nagios to post service-information there?

Notifications are just simple commands defined in commands.cfg. You surely
can tailor one of them for your needs (which I'll assume you did as you're
using the mposter_service for integration). If you take a closer look to
commands.cfg, there is a command defined to be the
{host,service}-notification command. I assume you are using another method
differently than email notifications for the creation of your tickets, or
I'm wrong? All parametrization of your service/host-notification command
will depend entirely to you for this integration to be as successfull as it
could be.

[Nagios-users] check_http checking with verbose output breaks performance data

[Marcel]

I've had a need of getting the full output from plugins to appear at the
extended status information page:

http://path.to.nagios/nagios/cgi-bin/extinfo.cgi?type=2&host=host_name&service=service_description

Then I've realized that performance data is being mangled by this verbose
command_line.

Is this a bug? Or I should not use verbose output for check_http in
production?

Re: [Nagios-users] check_http checking with verbose output breaks performance data

sorry for replying my own post.

This particular application has it's query string separator as "|", then the
mangled perfdata.

Is it possible to perfdata to parses only the last segment separated by "|"
?

Sure. With a proper service check or with escalations.

I'd setup a ping service that has max_check_attempts set to 20 and
normal_check_interval set to 300 - That way you'd only receive notifications
in one hour of ping errors.

If Tivoli floods your mailbox, and all of them are false positives, then you
have a Tivoli setup problem, or a network related issue.
Nagios maybe at the same point of view of Tivoli, if you're having network
issues.

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios2 process overwhelmed by NSCA daemon?

With 4K servers and just over 24K service checks, with 12 or 13 distributed
servers.

Well, I've ran into many kinds of problems because of nagios poor design of
distributed monitoring setup.
Appears that distributed setup was done almost as a poor patch just to have
to overcome some limitation .

We ended up doing some custom passive plugins. They were built to send
status information updates just in case of state change. In that way the
load on NSCA side was very much reduced (it was Load Balanced with a Virtual
IP, batch updates, but problems would still occur). This set of plugins were
a little hard to mantain, because configuration of each server needed to be
at the monitored server, puppet ftw. All checks were logged and later
synchronized with ndo to have last checks history.

NDO and the database schema has had to be modified too. The volume of
inserts was way too high to be handled correctly in a timely manner,
recurrent restarts of the database causing staled results, every sort of
problem in managing those systems, even after a thorough tunning of the
database. After adding logic to update only when state change ocurred, and
another batch update to update last check and the fields that needed to be
updated with last check information, the database load was normalized and
scalability could be proven.

So what I'd suggest to you, is to first tweak with the large installation
procedures, tmpfs for the status.dat, objects.cache, retention.dat, setting
batch jobs to send_nsca output to central/master nagios instance, and so on.
Also, you can do some nagios setup magic aswell, having distributed nodes
checking in a frequency (normal_check_interval) different than central
nagios expects, say, setup central nagios to wait for status information on
30 minutes frequency, but have the distributed nodes to send them at 15
minutes freq., something like that.

For what I know, it's really a cumbersome job to have enterprise scalability
nagios configuration. For tiny and trivial installs it's like using Zennoss
or Zabbixx, but with a lot of extra configuration-files pain. I think that
no other competitor's tool (Z*bbnn*ssxx) would scale too when you need
enterprise huge installs, so nagios is a little ahead and gives flexibility,
but with an associated cost that scares anyone (ending up buying another
tool to much less for much more).

That's why I've liked Gabès Jean's Shinken approach to have scalability and
to ease interoperability with puppet. That would be the
übber-super-mega-ultra tool. Also, with nginx and asynchronicity of
front-end, back-end, and checks, would end up with the most robust, easy,
enterprise NMS.

So, Gèan, continue on that path to have your Shinken working with
backcompatibility with nagios setups, but also think ahead on design to have
puppet integrated to handle configuration convergence (maybe eventhandlers
too?).

Cheers,
M

Re: [Nagios-users] [Nagios-devel] Alternatives to NSCA?

Once upon a time, I've tweaked syslog-ng to write to the command pipe. That
worked like a charm.

Re: [Nagios-users] Notification Question

[Marcel]

yeah, just set your normal_check_interval to 6 (minutes if you don't change
the interval_length), and max_check_attempts to 10, then, after 60 minutes
you would be notified. Or the oposite, maybe setting the check interval to
10 and the number of checks to notify to 6. That way you'll always know that
in the last 6 (or 10) checks in the last 60 minutes, you had a threshold
verification alert, but notifications are only sent after reaching the
max_check_attempts.

HTH.

[Nagios-users] DRBD for status.dat, nagios.cmd, objects.cache?

[Marcel]

Anyone has any advice about this kind of HA strategy?

I'm thinking about using drbd for nagios-HA environment, where nagios.cmd,
status.dat and objects.cache would be in drbd partition and master/stand-by
scripts for keeping nagios running at all times when master fails and
stand-by took over.

TIA,
Marcel

Well, but it _is_ possible, against what patrick stated.

Sure it's dumb, though, but impossible would be too hard on Nagios.

Re: [Nagios-users] Retry interval on hard states

[Marcel]

I guess that in 3.0rc3 you can modify service check configuration on-demand.


Not implemented yet, but you should be able to do something like changing
normal_check_interval until it reaches an OK state.

Anyone here already come up with a solution to this problem?

Re: [Nagios-users] Dual-port monitoring

[Marcel]

If you would have a round-robin dns setup to reach that particular host, you
would be fine tweaking a check_host_alive command with high lost percentage,
but still reachable. But you will rely on dns name resolution to do that.

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios Config Script

[Marcel]

Learn scripting. Read docs and mailing list archives, ask smart.

But, in meanwhile, fruity is getting back on track, and monarch is still a
good choice of nagios config tool. I've never used Nace nor NagioSQL, but
there are people out there using them.

To complete automate monitoring related configuration within nagios, you
should know how to script and automate tasks, or you will end with a web
based config tool.

Re: [Nagios-users] NDOUtils Problem

[Marcel]

>From NDOUtils 1.4.b7 Changelog:

1.4b7 - 10/31/2007
-
NOTE: ** Requires Nagios 2.7 or higher, or Nagios 3.0b6
- Makefile fixes for compilation flags
- Fix for bug where service check table always had same start/end time
- Added sample init script for SLES (Bruno Quintais)
- Added --with-ndo2db-user and --with-ndo2db-group configure script options
- Fix for configfilevariables table not holding multiple entries for various
variables
- Changed/added indexes on various DB tables
- Added some very basic debug file capabilities (not complete yet)
- Fix for handling (backwards) system time changes
- Fix for missing SUN_LEN definition and strtof() functions on Solaris 8
(Christian Masopust)
- Fix for segfault when importing duplicate log file entries (Hendrik
Frenzel)
- Updated to support latest Nagios 3.x code (3.0b6)

So, I think Nagios3.0.X isn't supported yet. I'm having issues with ndomod
for nagios 3-x installs, so I've sticked with nagios 2.11 with 1.4b7 and it
works fine. Hold your migration, for a new release of the mod.

Cheers,

[Nagios-users] nagios.cmd denial of service

[Marcel]

Hi list,

I'm a huge nagios fan, using it about 3 years now. Need to know how to get
around a problem.

This is for my central nagios instance alone. (nagios 2.9 + ndomod)

The problem appears to be related to the number of passive result checks
being cached at CHKBUF variables. When the problem occurs,
USEDCHKBUF=HIGHCHKBUF=TOTALCHKBUF=40960(40KB), then a restart would bring
back Nagios to it's normal operation. Also, for diagnostic's relevancy sake,
it was found that a malign script was flooding Nagios with 450 to 500
passive check results per minute.

If I'm making the correct assertions, Nagios configured with
command_check_interval=-1, and with LOTS of passive checks coming through
nagios.cmd, there is a conjunction of factors still unknown to me that
causes Nagios to hang, perhaps because of Nagios not being able to reaper
services frequently enough (service_reaper_frequency=1. Could not set it to
0, though), Nagios CMD Buffers remains stable, not reaching TOTBUFs, and not
increasing HIGHBUFs. As a initial troubleshooting, I've unset sleep_time
variable. Could it be done to service_reaper_frequency as well or it would
use default values?

Well, I'm just writing this down to see if someone had the same problems
regarding CHKBUFs not being consumed.

Thanks you in advance,

Marcel Mitsuto.

Re: [Nagios-users] Bunch of strange issues

Yes,

Double Nagios instances would write twice to the status.dat file, whence
doubling the objects reported by the cgis, which parse the status.dat file
to render the web pages.

Re: [Nagios-users] PNP Nagios php-gd error

[Marcel]

Yeah, man, i'm in a situation like yours... Trying to test pnp,
nagiosgrapher, and so on...

PNP seems to me to be the most scalable solution, as it implements batch
mode updates... But I'm still trying to tweak configurations and stuff...

The major problem to me is that the documentation I've found googleing, is
all in german... :)

i've translated with translate.google.com but it's still confusing to me...

At least, my host graph is plotting correctly, but the hostname is showing
_HOST_, instead of localhost as I would expect...

Well, I'm still trying to understand the templates and such...

Just 2 cents...

Ok, there is *some* documentation there.

I was looking for some documentation regarding how the
/path/to/nagios/etc/pnp/check_commands/check-host-alive.cfg behaves or
changes the bahavior of pnp.
Isn't quite clear to me what the files in that especific folder does, or
where is the file that tells pnp that the rrd template should change _HOST_
to the actuall hostname.

Well, I'm signin up for the pnp mailling list, will try to get better
results there.

TFYR,
Marcel

Re: [Nagios-users] New Version NC_Net (Windows Plugin)

[Marcel]

Hi Tony,

I'm in debt with you. Sorry to postpone my feedback of the version of NC_Net
that you've sent to me for testing.

Well, after a painless but full of workload setup of my company's
Exchange2007 platform, NC_Net was deployed gracefully, a drop-in replacement
for the already configured checks of this class of hosts, and we're at the
road to implement new monitoring solutions with your advanced WMI queries
interface. Not a thing to complain about it, running perfectly stable so
far.

Thank you very much for NC_Net, I'll send you a postcard if you'd like,
unfortunatelly, that is the only way I could spend of my own to thank you (I
do not have the power to send you donations in behalf of the company I work
for, nor on my own behalf as a Jr. sysadmin in Brazil ;).

Well, I'll send updates on list informing the development of the new checks
that will come up using WMI.

Thank you again.
Marcel

Or, could be something like: I have this lines on my passive central nagios
instance:
 [1215007259] Warning:  Passive check result was received for service 'Boot
Check' on host 'mamute1', but the service could not be found!

As passive checks could get in without even been configured, and it already
has the threshold logic done, Nagios would only configure the new service,
replicate it to the ndo database, and when restarting/reloading, generating
the correct entry in the config files for persistency. So, it would be
possible to have dinamic zero-configuration installs for extrictely passive
nagios instances. As we move to a passively monitoring platform, all
monitored hosts within our datacenter have the plugins to check_server,
check_procs, check_if, and so on, and the sysadmin have the hability to
configure de thresholds and checks without the need of tweaking nagios
configs. All is needed to be done is configuring cron, thresholds, etc, and
Nagios would take care of everything else.

The duration of 0d 9h 19m 49s means that the service2 is critical for that
long. It is not related to log rotation at all.
What makes you think that nagios log rotation is causing this?

The service2 stopped to check  at 23:58, this occurs every day at midnight.

[Nagios-users] check_freshness detecting staled services in alphabetical order

[Marcel]

Hey,

Have any of you have seen anything like this before?

Nagios 2.9, ndoutils 1.4b4.

Nagios began to detect staled services in alphabethical order, in batches of
almost 400 hosts at a time.

check_service_freshness=1
service_freshness_check_interval=900
check_host_freshness=0
host_freshness_check_interval=900

cheers from Brazil...

Yeah, right on, I've already read the documentation and I'm working for more
than 3 years now, but never seen this behaviour before.

Indeed. I've a syslog-ng platform to transport passive check results. But
other than that, nothing else different.

Can't seem to workaround this. As this host being super-dimensional-fortress

Did any of NetBSD sysadmins out-there knows of any way to get svn nagios
compiled on NetBSD 2.1?

Re: [Nagios-users] M$ Radius service checking

Yeah, i do.

I've compiled freeradius client, and have developed a simple script that
wraps it to authenticate against IAS.
It's a dirty-but-functional script, though. I have some restrictive
licensing of code wrote for the company I work for.

So i mean you are on your own.

Sorry, but HTH,

How many services did you have configured? You should post also the relevant
directives of nagios.cfg for us to look at.

Re: [Nagios-users] how can i monitor a application using nagios

Hey there, just a thought,

IF by 'well-balanced' you meant that you have a farm of servers which
receives or is stablishing connections through some kind of SLB or CSM
switches even VLS, then you could write a script that would verify the
number of stablished connections per service, and then comparing the number
of connections to prove your balancing algorithm choice is doing what is
supposed to do.

But, why not just test if the service is up by the virtual ip address, and
then setup a check to every host that is responding within the farm to
pin-point the problematic host without checking the balancing algorithm?

Well, I still am trying to understand what you meant by 'well balanced'.

Hi,

Anyone have cents to share about this monitoring solution?

Just get to know about it, and sounds pretty damn covered by great

I would like to hear the opinion about this tool, if anyone would share your
thoughts.

Re: [Nagios-users] Authentication problem

[Marcel]

IF there is no way to plug-in any post-login script, you should edit
manually the /path/to/nagios/etc/cgi.cfg and add your login name where suits
your needs.

And, you should add your login name to be a contact, and that contact should
be a member of a contactgroup to actually see your hosts being monitored.

Let's say you have $USER1$ = /path/to/lib32/nagios/plugins, and
$USER2$=/path/to/lib64/nagios/plugins, thus, you should define x86_32
commands and x86_64 commands as usual, but using $USER1$ and $USER2$ where
pertinent, and then, on every x64 system, you should use the _64 commands.

Well, I was just pointing out the previous thoughts line of reason. At my
environment, I do not care if the system is 64 or 32 bits anyway. I've
pre-compiled plugins that is deployed at the very same location within
/path/to/nagios/libexec, so if it's a 64bit arch, then we deploy that kind
of plugins and the same goes to 32bits archs.

So, no resource.cfg macro definitions needed to address this kind of
situation.

[Nagios-users] SMS gateway

[Marcel Hecko]

Hi, does anybody know of any HARDWARE solution into which I would just
stick GSM SIM card and send SMS messages from Nagios?
Something with ethernet interface - like - I would just call HTTP URI and
the device will send the SMS text to the number encoded in the HTTP
request (both - the text and phone number).

Basically - very basic SMS gateway. With pre-paid sim card that would be
just magic!

Does something like that exist? Possibly with two-way communitaction?
What price should I be looking at?

Cheers!
Marcel

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios fails pre-launch verification step; "Unexpected token or statement" in command.cfg

[Marcel Hecko]

This should probably go to plugins maintainers since command.cfg which 
is distributed with plugins actually contains that line:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/dl/nagios-plugins-1.4.11# grep notify-by-email * -R

command.cfg.in:command[notify-by-email]=/bin/printf "$OUTPUT$" | 
/bin/mail -s '$SERVICESTATE$ alert for $HOSTALIAS$/$SERVICEDESC$' 
$CONTACTEMAIL$

command.cfg.in:command[host-notify-by-email]=/bin/echo -e "* Nagios 
*\n\nHost "$HOSTALIAS$" is $HOSTSTATE$!\n\nDate/Time: $DATETIME$\n" 
| /bin/mail -s 'Host $HOSTNAME$ is $HOSTSTATE$!' $CONTACTEMAIL$

[Nagios-users] Stale log messages!

[Gerard Marcel]

I am totally confused about these error messages:
 
May 14 18:02:16 blue nagios: Warning: The results of host 'backup' are stale by 45 seconds (threshold=15 seconds).  I'm forcing an immediate check of the host.

 
I am getting a ton of these messages and I don't know why.  I looked at the archives and google and nothing seems to help.
 
 
 
TIA,

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

[Marcel Smeets]

As a collaegue of Thomas ( :-) ) maybe i can help out:You can use your own plugin, they are based in the checkcommands.cfg in the nagios /etc dir.:e.g.# 'ssh_mysql' command definitiondefine command{
    command_name   mysql    command_line   /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_mysql -P 3306 -d database -H servername -u username -p password    }The check_mysql plugin is part of the default nagios-plugins package. It not only checks the DB but you are sure about what is going on :-)

[Nagios-users] Problem with service templates

[Marcel van Leeuwen]

Hi there,

I am having a somewhat difficult situation here for which I don't know 
whehter the way the Nagios configuration files / the Monarch frontend 
are set up can even provide me an answer.


It's like this with Monarch I have created a number of service 
templates, a number of services which are based on these templates and a 
host profile called "Windows Default Host" for instance (that is host on 
which by default a number of services should be checked.


The thing is that the hosts (and thus the services) are distributed, and 
for location X I have contact group CG-X, for location Y contact-group 
CG-Y. Now in Monarch I can only enter contact groups at the service 
level. In that way I should duplicate every service for every location 
with another contact group. I can't imagine that I am the only one with 
this problem so what am I doing wrong here?


So, what I really want: I want to define different Service Profiles in 
which the same services are included. But: I want to be able to override 
the service groups in these profiles. Is this possible, or should this 
be a feature request?


Kind regards,
Marcel van Leeuwen

[Nagios-users] Re: Web front-end for Nagios 2.x

[Marcel van Leeuwen]

Hi,

I have latelely been looking into Monarch. This seems a very robust 
interface. For as for as I know it does support all configuration 
features and even more in the form of host and service profiles.

Hi there,

I'm looking for a GUI-frontend for Nagios 2.x.

Anyone can tell me what options I have if my requirements are:

* Must support *all* configuration features of Nagios 2.x
* Must support template based configuration
* Restart from within the GUI
* Good support, stable, being actively maintained

I can of course see a list of potential candidates on NagiosExchange but
it seems to me that many of them are really Nagios 1.x specific. I'm
trying to save some time here by asking you lot instead of installing

Marcel,
 
Remember my requirement:  Nagios 2.x (Nagios 1.x irrelevant)


Monarch seems to me to be GroundWorks' previous configuration front-end
while the new up-and-coming configuration front-end specific for Nagios
2.x is called Fruity, also by GroundWorks.
Is this wrong?

Yes this is wrong. I believe Monarch indeed was available for version 
1.0 (although I have never used it for that) it now has features that 
make it possible to convert existing configurations.



In any case I believe more in configuration tools that have started
their life on Nagois 2.x as I'm really afraid that the older tools have
too much baggage. Maybe I'm wrong on that one ?

Some examples that I've come across that seems to do what I want 


* Fruity, by GroundWorks,  latest version: 1.0 RC1
* NagiosQL 2005, by Martin Willisegger,   latest version 1.0 RC2

Well, I can say that I have tested both and have now migrated to Monarch 
because of the (future) scale of my Nagios implementation. Fruity is the 
light-weight brother/sister of Monarch, but works very well it provides 
an almost 1-on-1 mapping of the Nagios configuration files. I believe 
that the initial Fruity developer is now part of the Monarch team (am 
not sure about this).


I think NagiosQL is ok but I stubled across some bugs (e.g. '\' 
handling in configurations) and I found the interface not very 
comprehensible.


The above tools both work fine, and give you an option to easily 
configure your files. However, Monarch does more it adds features that 
are not supported by the Nagios configuration files that make it easy to 
maintain large groups of hosts and services, like service and host 
profiles, dependency templates, contact templates, etc..



Bases on my experience with the above I would most certainly recommend 
Monarch if you plan on having a large Nagios configuration. If not I 
think you should go for Fruity since it does give you enough to easily 
create you configuration in a very comprehensible interface.

Others?


Yes I have tried one more but can't remember which one it was..:)

Remember, that all the above are just my personal experiences...

Regards,
Marcel

Hi,

We are using Monarch for the m$ administrators and are very positive
about it.
Only 1 thing gives some trouble.
When we add a system, first add a new file for it.
After commit Nagios reports a configuration error, the course is that
Monarch the new .cfg file not saved in the running nagios.cfg

Kind regards
