Re: [Nagios-users] REPOST: Problem in Preflight Check with commands.cfg
Perhaps you added another config file that has a check_dns command? I've seen installations where people like to break out the larger config files into a directory with smaller configs. you could do something like... find /usr/local/nagios/etc |xargs grep -c check_dns which will find all the files with check_dns in it (assuming I got the command syntax right). -- Mat W. - http://www.techadre.com Date: Mon, 22 Jun 2009 07:55:58 -0400 From: ahkap...@partners.org To: nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Nagios-users] REPOST: Problem in Preflight Check with commands.cfg Hi there-- I am reposting this question due to a lack of response.

if the idea is for others not to see it... why not just ensure proper file ownership and limited permissions? Assuming only Root and Nagios users can read the file... I'd think anyone that could become those users should be able to read them anyway. -- Mat W. - http://www.techadre.com Date: Tue, 16 Jun 2009 11:53:11 -0400 From: ebadd...@gmail.com To: nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Nagios-users] Configuration files obfuscation Hi, is ther a way to obfuscate configuration files? edward _ Bing™ brings you maps, menus, and reviews organized in one place.

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios Reboot Notification
One way to check on a system reboot I've used before is with NagEventLog. We use NagEventLog to look for certain errors posted to the system/app eventlogs. Note these are passive checks so how soon you get notified will depend on the configuration of said passive checks as well as Nagios config. NagEventLog is reasonably configurable to filter our or only look for specific events such as an unexpected shutdown. -- Mat W. http://www.techadre.com Date: Thu, 11 Jun 2009 16:29:40 -0700 From: teckad...@gmail.com To: nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Nagios-users] Nagios Reboot Notification Marc, I don't think this will work for me ...reason being Nagios will do its check, lets say every minute. If the server reboots unexpectedly and comes up in between that check period, Nagios will never see the reboot. I could be wrong, but is that not accurate? Other application will notify you as soon as the server shuts down or reboots. Is this because its being monitored differently or different checks are being executed. As a Nagios newb, it seems that Nagios has cycles of running checks that the user defines. But I would like to try you suggestion. Will I simply add the define command in the commands.cfg config file and then reference that with the check_command in the hosts.cfg file?

Re: [Nagios-users] check_nrpe, check_ssh, snmp
My production nagios server is within my production datacenter. Since it is inside the security perimeter of our deployment, I use NRPE over SSL with only the servers local nrpe.cfg file with allowed_hosts configured for only the internal nagios server. -- Mat W. - lmw94...@hotmail.com Date: Mon, 15 Jun 2009 16:41:22 +0200 From: jerome.me...@baldata.ch To: Nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Nagios-users] check_nrpe, check_ssh, snmp Hi For the control of the servers I used in nagios(test) the command check_nrpe and that running well….

Re: [Nagios-users] check_mailq, nrpe, and root perms on client
hrm, i don't run check_mem as root and it works fine. Is the check_mem script owned by the nagios user and/or executable by the nagios user? As for mailq, I would suggest SUDO as the best route. You can configure very specific sudo permissions to only allow the Nagios user to run very specific commands. -- Mat W. - http://www.techadre.com Date: Mon, 15 Jun 2009 10:59:10 -0700 From: kfre...@sendmail.com To: nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Nagios-users] check_mailq, nrpe, and root perms on client Greetings!!! Errata: Nagios 3.0 I have nrpe running quite well on several clients, but I am having some problems with running root-perm'd commands on the client via nrpe. The critical one I need is check_mailq, which calls the standard UNIX mailq command, but there are also others (check_mem, check_log) The problem is that mailq requires root priv's to do this. Since I run nrpe in daemon mode under the nagios user, it fails with: CRITICAL: Error code 78 returned from /usr/bin/mailq Just for sanity check, I su'd into the nagios user and tried to run it, and it fails. I was able to get it working with sudo by adding the user nagios to the client's sudoers with only that command, and then adding the appropriate sudo in front of the check_mailq command in nrpe.cfg: command[check_mailq]=sudo /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_mailq -w 50 -c 75 It also works on the client as the nagios user. However, as sudo is designed to do, it logs every command run under it, so I wind up getting an email for every instance the check is made. Multiply that times several servers and services, and I am now getting flooded with emails that are essentially unnecessary. I also thought of: -- running nrpe as root (not comfortable with that) -- SUID on check_mailq -- chown'ing check_mailq root:root I'm stumped Any ideas are greatly appreciated!
