[Nagios-users] Security Breach?

[Martyn]

Hi all, hope you can help me out with this question I have just been sent
which is as follows: -

"We have had a security warning from the hosting company, one of the Nagios
User processes was using up 90% of the CPU:

8521 nagios 25 0 6144 2168 1524 R 90.4 0.0 566:17.51 x

A review of the users access logs show this appeared to start last night,
and the account has been remotely logged in to, suggesting its fully
compromised:

nagios pts/3 :pts/1:S.0 Sat Apr 3 11:35 - 11:36 (00:00)
nagios pts/3 :pts/1:S.0 Sat Apr 3 11:32 - 11:35 (00:03)
nagios pts/3 :pts/1:S.0 Sat Apr 3 01:41 - 11:30 (09:49)
nagios pts/1 79.119.233.48 Sat Apr 3 01:36 - 15:36 (13:59)

nagios pts/1 79.119.233.48 Fri Apr 2 20:55 - 01:36 (04:41)
nagios pts/3 :pts/1:S.0 Fri Apr 2 12:47 - 13:18 (00:31)
nagios pts/3 :pts/1:S.0 Fri Apr 2 10:50 - 12:47 (01:56)
nagios pts/3 :pts/1:S.0 Fri Apr 2 10:49 - 10:49 (00:00)
nagios pts/2 :pts/1:S.0 Fri Apr 2 10:36 - 10:49 (00:12)
nagios pts/2 :pts/1:S.0 Fri Apr 2 10:02 - 10:36 (00:33)

nagios pts/1 91.194.84.177 Fri Apr 2 01:52 - 01:52 (00:00"
Could you help me out to try and understand how this has happened please as
I'm at a complete loss, if you need more info I will endeavour to get it for
you.
Thanks all

[Martyn]

As a new user I struggled with the CLI aspect of Nagios so turned to
Groundwork's for my solution; this worked well for me on the navigation side
of things but saying that without this group I would be nowhere.

What can Lilac offer me over GW?

Thanks

Yeah, the "nagios" part just means that the nagios user spawned "./update
500". My guess is that you have a check command defined that calls
"./update", maybe the 500 is some kind of timeout? Check your command config
file.

What is 'update 500'? That's not a normal part of nagios and something
you must have created/installed. It looks like the problem is with
that program, not nagios.

[Nagios-users] Gnokki Issues

[Martyn]

Hi all, I have just installed Gnokii for my SMS alerts and having a few
issues, could you check my config and let me know if you see any errors or
any reason why I can not send SMS alerts.

I can send SMS via command line in the following way: 

echo "Hello World" | gnokii --sendsms +123456789 -r

Here is my Nagios Command:

/usr/bin/printf "%.120s" "ALERT\n\nNotification Type:
$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\n\nService: $SERVICEDESC$\nHost: $HOSTALIAS$\nAddress:
$HOSTADDRESS$\nState: $SERVICESTATE$\n\nDate/Time:
$LONGDATETIME$\n\nAdditional Info:\n\n$SERVICEOUTPUT$ ##" | gnokii --sendsms
"** $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ alert - $HOSTALIAS$/$SERVICEDESC$ is$SERVICESTATE$
**" $CONTACTEMAIL$ -r

And my .gnokiirc file

[global]
 port = /dev/ttyS0
 model = AT
 initlength = default
 connection = serial
 use_locking = yes
 serial_baudrate = 115200
 handshake = software
 sm_retry = 1
 smsc_timeout = 10
 [gnokiid]
 bindir = /usr/local/sbin/
 [connect_script]
 TELEPHONE = 123456789
 [disconnect_script]
 [logging]
 debug = on
 rlpdebug = off
 xdebug = on

Thanks all

as our rack manager will not allow us to have loose mobiles in cabs.

I have just had a quick Google on some GSM Modems and wondered if any of
these would be OK and use something like gnokii.

Craig not sure if this is a correct statement but I think that gnokii only
supports Nokia Mobiles, like I said not 100% sure.

[Nagios-users] SSL Handshake errors

[Martyn]

Hi all
Before I went home last night all my servers were responding to Nagios, this
morning when I get into work there is one server that is reporting Could not
complete SSL handshake, I have asked around but it appears that nobody has
made any changes to the server.

How can this be working one minutes and then report SSL problems the next,
do you think a change has been made somewhere if so could you point me to
where the possible changes were made.

Thanks all

Martyn

[Nagios-users] Ping Disallowed

[Martyn]

Hi all
We have a box that needs monitoring but ping has been blocked by their
firewall and they do not want to allow connections to this port, what other
way is there to check the host is alive if ping has been disabled. At the
minute host shows down but their services show up.

Thanks

Shouldn't there be numeric values instead of ARG1 and ARG2? I suspect that
these non-numeric values both translate to 0, so all memory use would show
up as critical.

[Nagios-users] Mail help needed

[Martyn]

I have found a provider that will convert Email to Voice but they use
$START$ and $END$ for their system to understand the mails.
I have altered my mail script as below

/usr/bin/printf "%b" "$START$ Alert\n\nNotification Type:
$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\n\nService: $SERVICEDESC$\nHost: $HOSTALIAS$\nAddress:
$HOSTADDRESS$\nState: $SERVICESTATE$\n\nDate/Time:
$LONGDATETIME$\n\nAdditional Info:\n\n$SERVICEOUTPUT$" $END$ |
/usr/bin/mailx -s " $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ alert - $HOSTALIAS$/$SERVICEDESC$ is
$SERVICESTATE$ " $CONTACTEMAIL$

But when I send a test mail I get which just adds a single $ at the
beginning and the end, is there a way to do this or is this happening
because Nagios users the $ itself, sorry for what may seem a dumb question
to you but I just do not know the answer

$ Alert

Notification Type: PROBLEM

Service: FTP
Host: test

Re: [Nagios-users] Escalations Info

That is how I have mine set up Craig and it is working as follows:

Alerts 1, 2 and 3 are emails, then 4, 5 and six are SMS and no emails are
sent.

However after that it reverts back to sending mails again.

Re: [Nagios-users] only_from = 127.0.0.1

[Martyn]

That has now done the trick but I'm a little confused as to why this work
under host.allow and not when used in my nrpe file, does anybody have the
answer to that?

Its on Centos 5.3, I'm going to try Fedora to see if that is the same

Thanks for your help

Sorry, it should be #, no 3 (dumb shift mistake).

just comment the line out by putting the # in the front of the line:
# only_from   = 127.0.0.1


Sorry for that,

Re: [Nagios-users] only_from = 127.0.0.1

[Martyn]

I changed the line as suggested but I still get the SSL handshake issue, the
"host.domain.co.uk" is made up on here but I have the real one in the live
config, again thanks for your time

# default: on
# description: NRPE (Nagios Remote Plugin Executor)
service nrpe
{
flags   = REUSE
socket_type = stream
port= 5666
wait= no

server  = /usr/local/nagios/bin/nrpe
server_args = -c /usr/local/nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg --inetd
log_on_failure  += USERID
disable = no
only_from   = 127.0.0.1 192.168.3.247 host.domain.co.uk

You have to adjust the "olny_from" line, your hosts.allow allows 17.0.0.1 to
connect to nrpe, but xinetd rejects the request, because you just allows
connections from 127.0.0.1 (or is there the 2 missing in the hosts.allow
line?)

you can simply write the domain name to only_from.

If you use the hosts.allow you could even exclude the only_from line from
the xinetd configuration by setting 3 in front of the line.

[Nagios-users] only_from = 127.0.0.1

[Martyn]

Can anybody tell me how I use domains names instead of IP address in the
nrpe file, I have read somewhere that you can use tcp wrappers which I have
tried.

My nrpe file looks like this:

# default: on
# description: NRPE (Nagios Remote Plugin Executor)
service nrpe
{
flags   = REUSE
socket_type = stream
port= 5666
wait= no
user= nagios
group   = nagios
server  = /usr/local/nagios/bin/nrpe
server_args = -c /usr/local/nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg --inetd
log_on_failure  += USERID
disable = no
only_from   = 127.0.0.1  
}


And my hosts.allow looks like

#
# hosts.allow   This file describes the names of the hosts which are
#   allowed to use the local INET services, as decided
#   by the '/usr/sbin/tcpd' server.
#
nrpe: 17.0.0.1 monitor.domain.co.uk

But I'm still getting Could not complete SSL handshake, is the above
configuration correct or can I not use domain names instead of IP's

Thanks

Martyn

[Nagios-users] Email to Voice Service

[Martyn]

Hi All

I'm looking for a way to send alerts to mobiles as well as to email
accounts, at the minute I use an external company to convert my Emails to
SMS but unable to find anybody who can do the same for Voice alerts to
mobiles.

I looked at x-on in the UK but they are not able to convert the email that
is sent across from Nagios to voice, I have asked if then can let me know
the format to see if I can change Nagios side of things to suit.

In the mean time does anybody know how can achieve voice alerts to mobiles
at all, I have heard that Asterisk can do it but I think only to one number.

Hope you can help

Thanks

Martyn

[Nagios-users] Limit the alert notifications

[Martyn]

Hi all
I would like to change the email alerts per users if I may, is there a way
of setting up so only 3 mails get sent to users "A" but only two mails to
user "B" even if the fault is still there, if not per users then across the
board.

I have searched around but finding anything, not sure if I'm searching for
the correct wording

Thanks

Chet

One very minor edit --

/usr/bin/printf "%b" "* Nagios *\n\nNotification Type:

becomes

You should try to understand why that was all it takes.

[Nagios-users] Add ## for mail to sms

[Martyn]

I'm a little nervous about asking my question but I have to because I have
no knowledge about coding and I have searched on Google, not sure what to
search for is also hampering me.

I need to get two gates at the end of this script so my provider will then
send it on to their SMS gateway .


/usr/bin/printf "%b" "* Nagios *\n\nNotification Type:
$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\n\nService: $SERVICEDESC$\nHost: $HOSTALIAS$\nAddress:
$HOSTADDRESS$\nState: $SERVICESTATE$\n\nDate/Time:
$LONGDATETIME$\n\nAdditional Info:\n\n$SERVICEOUTPUT$" | /usr/bin/mailx -s
"** $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ alert - $HOSTALIAS$/$SERVICEDESC$ is $SERVICESTATE$
**" $CONTACTEMAIL$

So to get my mail to SMS should look like the below, my provider will send
it to SMS and remove the two #'s.

* Nagios *

Notification Type: PROBLEM

Service: FTP
Host: IBM 3
Address: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
State: CRITICAL

Date/Time: Fri Mar 13 18:12:47 GMT 2009

Additional Info:

Connection refused ##

Thanks

Re: [Nagios-users] WMI's

[Martyn]

Thanks for the reply made me laugh did this line.

"You're holding a hammer and want someone to explain to you how to use it as
a car"  am going to use that myself one day.

However I did get a reply saying

"You can make your very own "checks" using whatever credentials you like
(and access any data you like).
In other words, you don't have to use generic checks shipped with nagios"

This kind of implied that it can be done with Nagios.

Apologies if I misunderstood it

You're holding a hammer and want someone to explain to you how to use it as
a car. It can't be done with check_nt, but there are other programs out
there that can ask questions over WMI, and you already know of some of them.
Google should hold plenty of other resources if installing nsclient, NCNet
or nsclient++ is not an option for you, although some programming may be
necessary on your part.

In "Nagios 2nd Edition" from Wolfgang Barth, he covers this in section
12.4.2. He covers "smsclient", "yasp", and "smssend", but he points out what
Jim pointed out... most are email to SMS conversion tools so if email is
done, you're still not notified. "smsclient" and a modem resolve this. I
have it installed and working fine. Our normal notifications go via email,
but if a network device or email server is down, then notifications go via
SMS.

Is there any configuration on Nagios? And how to connect Nagios server to

Currently I use an external email-sms service similar to
http://www.intellisms.co.uk so I can send emails from Nagios in the
usual way and have them converted to SMS.  It's extremely easy to set
up, but has the disadvantage that if the email system goes down, we
don't know about it!
 
Alternatively, you could connect a mobile 'phone to your Nagios server
and send SMS using gnokii http://www.gnokii.org/ or similar, or your
mobile operator might well have an http interface you could use or can
recommend other options.
 
In Nagios, you specify the notification methods in command definitions
which you can write yourself so it's extremely flexible.  See
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/notifications.html under the
heading "Notification Methods".

Your first warning that appears is:

"You are running an unstable version of Lilac, Unstable versions may not be
feature complete and not production, use it at you own risk"

For a complete novice like myself it proves to much of a risk to install,
the last thing I want to do is find myself 3 months backwards.

It's a Windows performance monitor counter. Basically, it is used to figure
out how well your memory management is working.

To actually monitor it, you would probably use NSClient++ (you can also
access it differently, but NSClient++ is the most common approach).

Per the Nagios Exchange site, NagiosWeb only supports up to Nagios 2.x. It
also hasn't been updated since 2006. If you're going to do a new Nagios
install, you should be on 3.x.

If you're going to try one, you're probably best off with NagMin, but
realistically, unless you're going to make changes in the web frontend, then
crawl your server for what's changed and diff it, you aren't likely to learn
it. I just migrated from BB to Nagios following Wolfgang Barth's "Nagios 2nd
Edition" and its been really helpful to understand the file structures and
command-line, especially if you want to extend Nagios with trending, etc. So
this is where I politely say "suck it up and read the manual... or at least
a good book about it". :)

Of course, a few years of experience as a UNIX/Linux admin won't hurt
either...

Yes, check_smtp connects to a 'remote' smtp server and verifies that  
it answers so it needs to know what IP to connect to. It doesn't need  
NRPE to do that. If this remote server answers on port 25 on an IP  
reachable from your nagios host, you could just as easily run it from  
your nagios host and probably have more reliable results. The only  
scenario where the check above makes sense is if the SMTP server only  
accepts connections from the local machine.

You can always run 'check_ --help' to see what parameters are  
required and available.

NRPE is only needed for checking things that don't expose external  
services. Things like disk space, cpu utilization, memory use, etc..  
Any network aware daemons like sendmail, postfix, apache, sshd, etc  
can generally be checked without using NRPE.

This is another one that doesn't really make sense to run through  
NRPE. check_ssh tries to connect to port 22 on a specified host (-H)  
to see if sshd is listening. You'd want to perform that test from a  
different box than sshd is running on to make sure it's listening  
publicly. Running directly from nagios is better.

define service{
 use  generic-service
 host_name   linux-server
 service_description   SSH
 check_command  check_ssh
 }

Assuming your check_ssh command definition looks something like --

define command {
 command_name   check_ssh
 command_line   $USER1$/check_ssh -t 30 -H  
$HOSTADDRESS$
 }

Subject: [Nagios-users] How to monitor using custom scripts in nagios.


Hi Friends,
I Want share My experience  of   monitoring  scripts on  nagios , Very
simple and Easy.
I am 3 months experienced with nagios  and  u should  make copy of all your
modifying  files initially.

Actually I want to  monitor tomcat threads,memory etc.. along with other
services , i could not find plug ins similar  to  mysql.
In my office  we have inbuilt scripts  to monitor  tomcat manually.
On test bases I had taken one of this script  and tested , I had success.
There are other ways thanks to Mr.Richard Quintin  who  shared his knowledge
of using nagiosgraph  and scripts to monitor tomcat but my suse10.2 ,
monitoring server have few issues i  could not go head instead tried this.

Monitoring   nagios using  scripts.
Example:
Monitoring tomcat Threads.

At remote host side i.e where nrpe is installed / monitored box

Created a file tomcat_threads.sh using vi editor

#vi tomcat_threads.sh
Entered  following  three line code

#!/bin/sh
totalThreads=`ps -C java -L -o pid,tid,pcpu,state | wc -l`
echo "Total Threads Available:$totalThreads"

Save the file and quit

Made sure first  script runs at  # prompt.

Moved script to  /usr/local/nagios/libexec  folder if its not created here.

Set permission
#chmod  755 tomcat_threads.sh

Give ownner ship to nagios user only.
#chown   nagios:nagios  tomcat_threads.sh


#cd /usr/local/nagios/etc
#vi nrpe.cfg

Append below command  line

command[tomcat_threads.sh]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/tomcat_threads.sh

Save and quit

Restart  xinetd to make  changes effected.
#service xinetd restart


At monitoring server side /  where nagios monitoring  server  installed.
#cd /usr/local/nagios/etc/

#vi services.cfg
Append this  service

define service{
  use  generic-service
  host_name   amazon
 service_description   tomcat_threads.sh
check_command   check_nrpe!tomcat_threads.sh
 notifications_enabled 0
 }

Save and quit

check for erorrs 
#/usr/local/nagios/bin /nagios -v  /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg
correct your erorror if any.

Restart nagios service
#service nagios restart
   
DISCLAIMER:
This is what worked for me  and i am confident i will add as many as scripts
i want in future.
You make changes as it suits to you and i own no responsibility  for typo
error or if some thing  goes wrong.

Please share your knowledge, knowledges grows by sharing while money
reduces by sharing.

[Nagios-users] Nagios/NRPE relationship

[Martyn]

Hi all, hope you do no think this is a stupid question; however I have to
ask it anyway for a better understanding.

I have my Nagios Server with NRPE plugins installed and I have a Linux
Remote Server that I want to monitor, I know that you need NRPE on the
remote Linux box but after that it goes a bit glazed, this is the bit I need
to understand.

Here is the standard configuration NRPE installed on my remote Linux box:

command[check_users]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_users -w 5 -c 10
command[check_load]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_load -w 15,10,5 -c
30,25,20
command[check_disk1]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_disk -w 20 -c 10 -p
/dev/sda1
command[check_zombie_procs]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_procs -w 5 -c 10
-s Z
command[check_total_procs]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_procs -w 150 -c
200

So my question is, if I need to monitor SMTP on the remote box I would have
to ask the remote administrator to add the following command to their
nrpe.cfg:

Command[check_smtp]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_smtp -H localhost

Do they have to use the -H localhost directive or is there something
different they can use, the localhost just does not seem right looking at
the other examples above.

Then on my Nagios Server, under the .cfg box I want to monitor I define the
command:

define service{
use  generic-service   
host_name   linux-server
service_description   SSH
check_command  check_nrpe!check_ssh
}


Hope its not such a stupid question that it does not warrant a reply.

Rgs

[Nagios-users] Email to Voice

[Martyn]

Although I'm new and still setting up how I want to monitor my Servers and
Routers, it got me thinking about texts that I receive whilst I'm in bed,
I'm so used to getting a text statement from my bank that I now sleep
through them, so text alerts are not sufficient enough for me to lift my
head of my pillow if there was a fault.

Does anybody know of a company that offers email to voice service, this way
I get Nagios to send an email to a server which in turn call my mobile and
will play me an alert of some kind.

Cheers

[Nagios-users] NRPE only_from

[Martyn]

Hi all, I want to test connectivity from the outside world to my Linux box
inside my network, I'm wanting to test before I try and monitor an external
box.

On the inside of my network I have a Linux box on 192.168.3.245 running NRPE
and my Nagios Server on 192.168.3.247
Both of these are connected to a 3560 Cisco Switch which in turn is
connected to my Linksys Router then onto my Cable modem.

On my Linux box I have in my nrpe "only_from = 192.168.3.247 which allows
Nagios to gather its stats, however if I change it to the public IP address
that is given I get the following errors "Check_NRPE: Error Could not
complete SSL handshake".

In my .cfg file on my Nagios server (the cfg of the box I want to monitor) I
have pointed it to my public IP address and restarted Nagios.
On my Linksys Router I'm port forwarding to the Linux box port 5666 but it
makes no difference, I have even put my Linux box in the DMZ but still no
joy.

Does anybody know how I can test my Linux box so it looks like its from the
external network, failing that does anybody have a test box I can try and
monitor for 10 minutes or so.

Also, NRPE the line only_from, am I allowed to put the domain name or is it
just IP address only.

Thanks

Martyn

You don't have to purchase one. If you want to do the editing manually, use
Microsoft's Orca. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/255905

Or if you want to automate it, look into MakeMSI. 
http://dennisbareis.com/makemsi.htm This scripting language is a bit quirky,
but it works.

That said, I'm currently working on a complete Nagios client including
install package that may do just about the same thing (and a few more
things). You can already download it from Sourceforge, although the "burn
the server IP address into the MSI" functionality isn't implemented yet. One
thing I did differently from NSClient is that I am using HTTPS to submit the
results (an older version also supported SSH, but I have not re-implemented
that in the latest version). That lets me avoid firewall issues.

It is based on NSClient++ with quite a few enhancements.

others in between.
depends on the system and what processes/daemons are running on it.

The question you should be asking is what is normal for the specific server
you are monitoring. I have systems where thousands of processes are normal
and other systems where only just over a hundred is normal.

Spend a few days periodically counting the number of processes. Find the max
and use that as your starting point. Tune up if you get false alarms. Tune
down if you don't get alarms when you should have.

I take it you installed the nagios already ( if this is to be the server ).
Have you done that from source or from pkg ? it might be looking for the
nagios install in the wrong place .Check where your nagios install is .

If this is for a client ?  you may need to create the path manually !

I take it you installed the nagios already ( if this is to be the server ).
Have you done that from source or from pkg ? it might be looking for the
nagios install in the wrong place .Check where your nagios install is .

If this is for a client ?  you may need to create the path manually !

Morning Group, Depending on your location.

I'm on a fresh install of Ubuntu 8.04 server install with lamp and getting
the following error when I'm trying to install the plugins

make[1]: Entering directory `/home/martyn/downloads/nagios-plugins-1.4.6/po'
/bin/sh @MKINSTALLDIRS@ /usr/local/nagios/share

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios + Postfix

[Martyn]

With this setting myhostname = chetnet.co.uk I can send mails to an external
mail box at proweb.co.uk, so it goes from an acco...@chetnet.co.uk to an
acco...@proweb.co.uk

But if I send a mail to al...@chetnet.co.uk I get to following

This is the mail system at host chetnet.co.uk.

#
I'm sorry to have to inform you that your message could not
be delivered to one or more recipients. It's attached below.

For further assistance, please send mail to postmaster.

If you do so, please include this problem report. You can
delete your own text from the attached returned message.

   The mail system
unknown user: "alert"
##

Why is this, does postfix believe that this user should be on the same box?
If so I can I force mails to chetnet be sent out to chetnet, this is
confusing me now.

Thanks

Google does though. Search for 'postfix domain change'. You're probably
going to be most interested in mydomain, myhostname and perhaps myorigin.

Yup, I'd reject that too. cna.localhost isn't a valid hostname or domain.

Yes, the install guide has to assume that the MTA packages and configuration
for whatever system you are using are sane. It's your responsibility to make
sure they are. Doing that is beyond the scope of nagios.

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios + Postfix

[Martyn]

Proweb is not under my control

I'm not to sure what you mean with regards to the rest of you reply, I have
not set up postfix to masquerade anything, would not know how to do that

I'm sending the mail from the Nagios Server from address
nag...@cna.localhost to not...@proweb.co.uk

I have not configured postfix in anyway, the install guide just implied that
I did the following and it would work out of the box so to speak

apt-get install sysutils mailx lsb-release postfix

Do I need to carry out additional steps in postfix, if so what are they.

Thanks for your reply

Sounds like mail.proweb.co.uk is rejecting your connection. Is that a server
you control? What do it's logs say about the transaction?

If it's not a server you control, are you following standard/expected SMTP
conventions? Is the e-mail address being used as the from valid (i.e. is the
@domain part legitimate and exist in DNS)? This often comes from the
hostname of the machine if you've not configured postfix to masquerade that.
Does the public IP for your sending machine have valid reverse DNS, not on
an RBL, not on a known 'dynamic' IP? Are you permitted to use that server to
send mail?

could somebody point me in the right direction

Nagios Looking Glass Error Report 

Sorry for the inconvenience, but Nagios Looking Glass could not retrieve the

The error message below might hold more clues for the site administrator:

Hi Alan,

Nagios Looking Glass is specifically designed for this situation - provided
you don't want them to submit actions etc.  You have to edit the filters
(views) in NLG, setup authentication in Apache for different customers to
login, then set which views each customer can see.

[Nagios-users] So its running how I like it

But how can I make an install ISO that will allow me to install afresh to a
new server, ask for username, password IP address and so on.
Then once the install is complete a I a running Nagios Server.

Thanks

[Nagios-users] CPU Critical

[Martyn]

Hi All
I have noticed whilst monitoring my NT server the CPU load level has been at
critical status for 3d 8h 29m 32s and sitting at 100%,  this is good news
from a monitoring point of view as it was spotted, however I need to solve
it.
I know I can just jump on to my server and look at the processors I would
find what was hogging it but is there a plugin/module or add-on that I can
use to see what processors maxing out.

Thanks

Your Nagios doesn't have a working DB connection at all.
Please do a "tail -f /usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.log" while executing a
"/etc/init.d/nagios restart" on another console.
Watch the nagios.log for entries regarding to ndo.

Martyn,
 
Your config looks good to me, are you sure there is data going into the ndo
database ?
 
Check your nagios.log for:

Hi all, I'm' hoping that you have the heart to help me out again on my quest

Anyway I'm trying to install Nagvis but hit a small problem. 

When I point my Web browser to the map I created I get the following error

The given instance name "default" in backend "ndomy_1" is not valid.

Re: [Nagios-users] Centreon

[Martyn]

I'm glad you asked that.
 
I install everything by the excellent wiki guide and all went well, Nagios
started and I added my Servers and Routers and they are logging well, Not
got MRTG installed as yet but I can see uptime and such, in all there are 3
Servers a Switch and 1 Network printer

Fire up Centreon>configuration>Hosts and I add a Cisco 3550, put all my
Switch's details in and click save
When I look at under home there are no hosts being monitored nor servers..

I then do the following which has complete knocked me for six:-

Centreon>Configuration>Nagios
Put tick in the following boxes, Generate Configuration Files, Run Nagios
debug, Move export Files and restart Nagios

Just gone back to my Nagios page and all my Servers and Switches have gone
and been replaced by the 1 Switch I added above, not only that they all show
errors, the switch shows it pings ok but the host name is Red, clicking on
that it states host down.

Centreon shows Database errors: 
Under the Service /.: Error: hrstorageDescr Table : Requested tables empty
or missing
Under Load: Unknown: Received nosuchname(2) error-status at error-index 3

Also Centreon has added all the .cfg files its creates into my
/usr/nagios/etc directory and not /usr/nagios/etc/objects where my others
are located, I hoping to delete thses files and replace the nagios.cfg file
that was create by Centreon to be me back up and running.

Sorry its such a long post

Martyn,

You've probably figured that out by now, but that command-line should be
typed into your shell command prompt, not the MySQL one!  Make sure your
command prompt does not start "mysql >" before you type that command in.  If
it does, first use "quit" to exit back to your system shell, then try it
again.

As for your other question, yes because it's a string you need to quote it
using '.

Martyn,

By the looks of it, there's a missing ";" at the end of one of the queries
in that file.  I don't use NDODB so I cannot elaborate any more than that.

Try running the command again and simply putting ; on the line
beginning with "->"

Re: [Nagios-users] Ubunt- Nagios3-Centreon 2-ndo2

[Martyn]

Now it looks as though the DB is missing something

mysql> mysql -u root ndo <
/usr/local/src/centreon-2.0/www/install/createNDODB.sql;
ERROR 1064 (42000): You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual
that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use
near 'mysql -u root ndo <
/usr/local/src/centreon-2.0/www/install/createNDODB.sql' at line 1

Will take a look into in to see what it is

Thanks for the reply though, it got me one stage further

Martyn,

By the looks of it, there's a missing ";" at the end of one of the queries
in that file.  I don't use NDODB so I cannot elaborate any more than that.

Try running the command again and simply putting ; on the line
beginning with "->"

HTH,

[Nagios-users] Ubunt- Nagios3-Centreon 2-ndo2

[Martyn]

Hi Group.

I'm trying to install Centreon on my Ubuntu box, I'm following the install
guide and hit a snag.
Looking at the site install guide here
http://en.doc.centreon.com/Nagios3_Centreon2_Ubuntu_ndo2 I'm hit a problem
at this stage.

# mysql -u root ndo <
/usr/local/src/centreon-2.0/www/install/createNDODB.sql

When I run that query it just returns with -> and sits there forever or
until I press ctrl c

Do you know what the issue is at all.

Thanks

Martyn

Re: [Nagios-users] HP Network Printer

[Martyn]

Right it FIXED!!
 
Here we go, when I installed the Server version instead of the Desktop
version of Ubuntu I also grabbed the latest Nagios Pluging
"nagios-plugins-1.4.13.tar.gz"  because I thought that may be contributing
to my problem, however I noticed in the log as you rightly suggested I look
that the pluging were not being installed because the relevant snmp libs and
snmp perl libs were not found on Ubuntu, after I was looking around the
directories I noticed that they were there, so I have just reverted back to
nagios-plugins-1.4.11.tar.gz and to my amazement the check_hplj file was
compiled with lots of others too.
 
Just got to sort out my Cisco Switch now do I can point the check_command to
port 47
 
Just like to say a massive thanks to those who kept with me, James and Marc
especially.
 
So I think there may be a bug in nagios-plugins-1.4.13.tar.gz
 
Cheers
 
Martyn

Hi James/Group

 

I reinstalled Ubuntu and installed Server version, gone through all I went
through before and all is working as should be apart from the printer again.
Ping works fine.

The problem I'm seeing now is (return code 127 is out of bounds - Plugin may
be missing)

 

The path to the plugin is invalid (i.e. the binary or script does not
exist). This is most likely the case if you get errors about a return code
of 127 being out of bounds. If this is the error you're getting, check your
command definitions and make sure the path to all executables is correct
(and that they're actually installed on your system).

 

I have checked my directory and it never got compiled, how do I find the
below files

 

I have ran apt-get install net-snmp but it finds now files, how can I
rectify this

 

Thanks

Hi Martyn.

 

I'm not sure why check_hpjd did not get compiled on your system. It appears
you need at least net-snmp, and probably net-snmp-devel packages at least,
as here is what is on my system:

 

$ rpm -qa | grep snmp

 

net-snmp-libs-5.3.1-24.el5_2.2

net-snmp-utils-5.3.1-24.el5_2.2

net-snmp-5.3.1-24.el5_2.2

net-snmp-devel-5.3.1-24.el5_2.2

net-snmp-perl-5.3.1-24.el5_2.2

 

Have you checked for those packages installed, as they are not installed by
Nagios, and depending on your linux distro, may not be in the default
setup..

 

I have it on mine,  but I use lots of SNMP, so it's no surprise.. I don't
see any option for checking toner, but maybe that's a different check. (?)

Re: [Nagios-users] HP Network Printer

[Martyn]

I think it may be a bug because if I use 'public' I get the "error in
packet", if I use anything with less that 6 characters I get the same error,
if I use public1 or anything with more than 6 characters I just get host
time outs.
 
check_ping works fine
 
Thanks

Martyn,

 

I have noticed people monitoring other stuff on printers using the SNMP
protocoll. However, since we have that protocol disabled I have no
experience in that. If you just want to make sure it is up and running you
could use the check_ping. Assuming it's a network printer with enabled NIC.

 

Thanks,

PJ

James thanks for the reply, looks like there are many users with the same
issue as me,
http://osdir.com/ml/network.nagios.plugins/2006-11/msg00062.html
 
The reason I want to use check_hpjd is because it reports back the toner
levels too.
 
I have spent the last 5 hours on Google and can not find any fix, does this
group know of a fix at all or do you think its a bug?

Martyn,

 

Running Nagios 3.01 - This is how I monitor different disk drives on windows
machines, using NSClient++.

 

Example C and F: drives:

 

I define a command(s) in commands.cfg, like this:

 

# Define command for disk space on C:   ---#

define command{

command_name  check_diskc

command_line  $USER1$/check_nt -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -p 12489 -v $ARG1$ $ARG2$ -s
$USER7$

   }

 

# Define command for disk space on F:   ---#

define command{

command_name  check_diskf

command_line  $USER1$/check_nt -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -p 12489 -v $ARG1$ $ARG2$ -s
$USER7$

   }

 

In services.cfg I define the checks:

 

# Monitoring Disk Usage C:\

define service {

use  generic-service

host_namehostname

service_description  Disk-C

servicegroupsdisks

action_url
nagiosserver/nagios/cgi-bin/extinfo.cgi?type=2&host=$HOSTNAME$&service=Disk-
C

check_commandcheck_diskc!USEDDISKSPACE!-l c -w 95 -c 98

   }

 

# Monitoring Disk Usage F:\

define service {

use  generic-service

host_namehostname

service_description  Disk-F

servicegroupsdisks

action_url
nagiosserver/nagios/cgi-bin/extinfo.cgi?type=2&host=$HOSTNAME$&service=Disk-
F

check_commandcheck_diskf!USEDDISKSPACE!-l c -w 95 -c 98

}

 

 

Hope that helps!

 

Thanks,

PJ

Nagios doesn't actually _ever_ verify if this works or not. It just trusts
that it does and runs it when the service check is scheduled.  
If it fails, you'll see it in the web GUI for Status Information.

If I comment out the F:\ checking then all is well.

I have just tried the following command line which worked so I'm not
following why it will not work from within Nagios.

This change would not cause nagios to not restart. What is the error  
that nagios is reporting?

What does the command look like ?

Since the service is invoking a command - you need to make sure that the
structure adheres to the format requested by the command .

You can extract the file to any directory you want and then add the cfg_file
directive that points to it in the nagios.cfg .

that being said - if your packages created a conf.d dir , your best way to
go is to put it in there .
This is a "all inclusive " directory where the nagios will read all .cfg
files and load them.
