[Nagios-users] SNMP and Nagio newbie question.
Hello, I've got Nagios installed and configured managing several Linux and Windows XP boxes. On each of the Windows machines I have the SNMP utilities installed, so that if I execute: #> snmpwalk -v 2c -c I retrieve the contents of the MIB. The print out lists lots of useful information, among which is a listing of each program that is installed on the Windows machine. My question: Is there an easy way for Nagios to retrieve this information, or do I need to write a shell script that executes the SNMPwalk, and parses out the needed info? Any and all input is appreciated!

Re: [Nagios-users] SNMP and Nagio newbie question.
Hi Mark, Thank you for taking the time to respond to my question - much appreciated! One more question branching off of your input: to get *every* instance of 'hrSWInstalledName.X' would I need to write a shell script to serve as a wrapper program? Or is there a way to get check_snmp to do this for me?

Re: [Nagios-users] SNMP and Nagio newbie question.
Mark, Well, I'm trying to monitor both. I just want to be able to get a listing at a moment's notice of which applications are installed on a given machine. Seems that it would be easy enough, using the check_snmp plugin, to write a wrapper program that will notify me via e-mail should a given application be installed on someone's machine, or if a given application was removed from a machine. But I'd really like to get a listing of all of the installed apps. I currently use SNMP w/Nagios to get a listing of all running applications (everything that gets listed in the task manager) and services on a given machine, and I'd like to have similar functionality with installed programs. All advice is appreciated.

Re: [Nagios-users] NSClient++ install: "Too big to fit in memory"
In case any of you should run into this issue in the future, I discovered what was causing this problem: When I pulled the files from off of our storage server, they must have gotten corrupted in the process. I re-transferred the NSClient to the client machine I want to manage, and re-ran the C:\> nsclient++ /install command - all is well now.

[Nagios-users] Monitoring hosts and DHCP
Hello,
I'm monitoring about 30 machines using Nagios with SNMP checks. I also have
a DHCP server casting each machine on the network their IP address on
start-up. Some machines stay on the majority of the time, others for only
4-8 hours a day. The machines generally maintain their same IP address over
time as DHCP is designed to try and give a machine back it's same IP, so
long as it's available. However, there have been times when a machine has
changed its IP addresses as a result of using DHCP on this LAN.
Question:
When I write the host macro for a given machine, e.g:
define host{
host_name random_machine
address192.168.1.100
check_command check_ping
}
Is there a way to have nagios use a variable to read its address rather than
keep the address static? This would allow me to have a script scan the
network, and assign IPs to a given variable which is then read by the host's
*.cfg file in the /etc/objects directory.
Any and all advice is appreciated.
Thank you,
---

Re: [Nagios-users] Monitoring hosts and DHCP
Hi Benny, Thank you for the reply, but unfortunately I'm not using DNS, and I don't want to have to :-) Just want to know if there is a way to monitor hosts that obtain their IP address via DHCP. I'll continue to see what I can do with this, and will reply to the list if I find a solution.

Re: [Nagios-users] Monitoring hosts and DHCP

Umm... So how do you access the hosts, if they're switching IPs on you and you're not using DNS? Do you just rely on WINS or something? You could set up passive checks, and have the DHCPized machines *send* you the test results, that way Nagios wouldn't have to have some way of addressing them. I *think* that would work? I've never tried it.

Re: [Nagios-users] Monitoring hosts and DHCP
Hari, Thank you for this suggestion, but we do have a very small LAN here, and we simply use the DHCP daemon that is comes with the software on our router. If I were managing a larger LAN, it's likely that I would use a *nix host to run a DHCP daemon. I've configured the router so that it reserves a given IP for a given MAC that is regularly on the network. This way, the DHCP daemon can still do its job of auto-assigning IPs to new machines, but it can also see to it that the IP doesn't change over time (which solves the problem that I was experiencing using Nagios).

[Nagios-users] Perpetual notifications.
Hello, Is there any way to have Nagios send out notifications for a problem only *once*. About every half hour I get an e-mail notifying me that a host or service is down, but I'm already aware of this. I do want to be notified, but only once. If the host goes down at 5:30 pm, I only want to be notified again once the host is back up. Any help and all suggestions are welcomed and *appreciated*!

Max, This does appear to work. Thank you. I did look through the documentation, but could not find this. I obviously wasn't looking in the right place ;-) Thanks again, --- Matt -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Max Hetrick Sent: Thursday, December 27, 2007 3:31 PM To: nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] Perpetual notifications.

First, I would suggest reading the documentation, specifically the object configuration files documentation, for the version you are running before asking questions like this. If you read it, this question will be quickly answered. Nagios 2.x <http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/> Nagios 3.x <http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/> Set the notification_interval parameter on your hosts and services to 0.
