[Nagios-users] check_snmp_mem.pl and cisco fast memory
Hi,
Cisco says that their fast memory on their switches is meant to fill
up, and having full fast memory is not an error condition. (See
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/iosswrel/ps1831/products_tech_note09186a00800a6f3a.shtml
for a reference.)
Most Cisco devices don't have fast memory, but some of ours do, so we
keep generating errors. I don't care if fast memory is 99% full, but
I care if other memory is.
The below patches check_snmp_mem.pl version 1.5 to skip fast memory.
Not sure if anyone else has this problem, or if there's any interest
in pulling this into the main program, but I at least wanted to get
this in the mailing list archives for the next poor guy who stumbles
over this.

[Nagios-users] change service check timeout in Nagios
Hi, It appears that numerous people have had this issue, but most of them have it because they're doing something else wrong or have other issues. I have a check that legitimately takes longer than 10 seconds to complete, and none of the documentation or archives appear relevant. I run check_vrrp against hardware on the other side of the world. (I've suggested that I install a monitor closer to the remote equipment, but that's just not feasible right now.) Running check_vrrp by hand gets me an answer in 14-17 seconds. # /usr/bin/time -h /usr/local/libexec/nagios/check_snmp_vrrp.pl -H hostname -C community -s backup -t 20 8 vrid backup :OK 14.58s real 0.43s user 0.17s sys # When I use this plugin in Nagios, however, it errors out with: CRITICAL - Plugin timed out after 10 seconds Yes, I know it times out in 10 seconds. The plugin takes 14-17 seconds to run. The timeout appears to be within Nagios itself, as the script doesn't time itself out. Surely there's a built-in way to tell Nagios that either a particular check can take longer, or increase the 10-second timeout within Nagios itself? The service_check_timeout value kills runaway processes, which this isn't. I know increasing the timeout would impact my performance for my other apps, but I have a separate Nagios instance for these devices. If I can't change the timeout I'll write an external script that runs the program and forwards the results to Nagios as a passive check, but that seems unnecessarily cumbersome. Any suggestions? Am I missing something in the documentation? Any help appreciated, ==ml -- Michael W.

[Nagios-users] PNP performance
Hi, I have Nagios 3.0.6 on FreeBSD 7.1/amd64, with ~1500 services on ~250 hosts. I've been investigating replacing our MRTG setup with PNP. PNP runs fine, and we are keeping about 1450 MRTG graphs. Our plans call for at least doubling the number of services and graphs. Adding process_perfdata.pl has increased the system load from minimal to 10-20. I see that process_perfdata.pl will not run under ePN. Anyone out there have ways to reduce process_perfdata.pl's system load, short of rewriting it in C or making it ePN-friendly?

[Nagios-users] check_fping timing
Hi, At times, latency rises on my network. I'm trying to give check_fping a high timeout, 10 seconds to warn and 12 for critical. It seems that check_fping returns too quickly, however. Here, I've cranked up the warn and critical levels to an absurd level for illustration purposes, and timed the process. # /usr/bin/time ./check_fping -H roxsw001 -w 100.0,80% -c 1200.0,100% -b 56 FPING CRITICAL - roxsw001 (loss=100% )|loss=100%;80;100;0;100 0.51 real 0.00 user 0.00 sys The check returns in half a second.

[Nagios-users] service dependencies on a single host?
Hi,
I'm currently monitoring many services on certain hosts via SNMP, and
making extensive use of host groups to ease configuration for my
several hundred hosts.
On occasion, the SNMP service on a host fails. This triggers dozens
of alarms. I would like to have each service checked via SNMP depend
on the base SNMP service, so that when SNMP fails I only get one
alarm. I investigated service dependencies, but they don't seem
amenable to hostgroup-friendly configuration.
If I do something like:
define servicedependency {
hostgroup_name NetSnmpServers
service_description Snmp
dependent_host_name NetSnmpServers
...
}
that obviously isn't going to work.
Surely other people have encountered this before? Any suggestions?
Thanks,
==ml

[Nagios-users] pnp error: *** CRITICAL Timeout after 5 Sec. ****
Hi, I've searched on this problem, and haven't found anyone else experiencing it in any mailing list archive or forum. What could be causing these timeouts, and how badly are they harming my data? Details: I have PNP installed and almost working with NPCD on FreeBSD 7.0/amd64, with nagios 3.0.2. Nagios gathers perfdata and puts it in the perfcache. process_perfdata frequently runs, and puts data into RRDs. The process_perfdata.pl debugging log shows all sorts of successful updates, but then I get an entry like this: 2008-10-07 12:15:39 [62022] No Custom Template found for check_dcerpc (/usr/local/etc/pnp//check_commands/check_dcerpc.cfg) 2008-10-07 12:15:39 [62022] RRD Datatype is GAUGE 2008-10-07 12:15:39 [62022] Template is check_dcerpc.php 2008-10-07 12:15:39 [62022] data2rrd called 2008-10-07 12:15:39 [62022] RRDs::update /var/spool/nagios/pnp/rrd/viper025.am.local/Windows_DCERPC.rrd 1223396130:0.002143 2008-10-07 12:15:39 [62022] *** CRITICAL Timeout after 5 Sec. When this occurs a perfdata file remains, such as: service-perfdata.1223396254-PID-88114 This file is not deleted. Once NPCD thinks it's done, it processes these files again renames it to: service-perfdata.1223396194-PID-87765-PID-90732 If I let NPCD run, it eventually processes and removes all of these files. If these errors cause occasional blank spots in my graphs, that's OK; I can live with that while I investigate the timeouts. If they will cause obviously incorrect or misleading graphs, that's more serious and requires that I shut down user access to PNP until I debug it. (No data is better than wrong data!)

[Nagios-users] Changing contacts for the same service
Hi, I'm running a medium-sized Nagios setup (250 hosts, 700 services). Most of the hardware and software is configured identically, so monitoring is fairly straightforward. The one complication is mapping Nagios alerts onto people. I think I must be doing it the hard way, and I can't find a solution in the archives or docs. Summary: I want a global setting that says Both hosts and service alerts for system X go to this one contact group. We have different project teams to manage different groups of servers. Team A should only get the alerts for team A's hosts and services, team B should only get the alerts for team B's hosts and services, and so on. The teams, of course, are defined as contact groups. Each server has an associated contact group, that's easy. Services, however... I have defined services such as Team A C Drive Disk Space listing Team A as the contact group, then Team B C Drive Disk Space with team B as the contact group, and so on. Both services have the same check command. This has resulted in a massive proliferation of services. Surely there's some way to say that Both host and service alerts for system X go to this contact group? Thanks, ==ml -- Michael W.

Therefore, I was thinking about ways to monitor Nagios itself. One simply way would be a cronjob that checks if the nagios process is running and then uses yaps or something to send an SMS. But what about cases where the nagios process is running, but for whatever reason the messages are not being processed. I was thinking about setting up a service that is triggered by a cronjob and then sends a notification. This notification writes a flag file and every X minutes a cron job checks the age of the flag file. If the flag file is too old, it sends an SMS via yaps. Rather than re-invent the wheel, I was wondering if other people had already implemented something similar. Daemontools' supervise program will restart nagios if it crashes. http://cr.yp.to/daemontools.html In the event that supervise cannot restart the program, you can have it send an email. ==ml -- Michael W.

[Nagios-users] check_nt and nsclient++: treat unknown as critical
Hi, I'm using nsclient++ and check_nt to monitor services on a whole slew of Windows boxes. Works very nicely, but I have to change part of the system behavior and the plugin doesn't seem to have that option. When you check a service and the service is not installed, the plugin returns unknown. I need to treat those unknowns as critical. In our environment, those errors mean that someone is playing games with their server. Any suggestions? Or should I use a different plugin if I want this behavior? I can get this with SNMP easily enough, but nsclient++ seems easiest. Thanks, ==ml -- Michael W.

[Nagios-users] managing latency-induced host down alerts
Hi, I'm using Nagios 2.9 on FreeBSD, on a wide area network that has remote networks scattered across the USA and Mexico. We have a problem where latency on some remote circuits rises due to congestion. This means that various service checks time out, as they take more than 10 seconds to complete. (Yes, this is a real problem, and we're addressing it. I'm using smokeping to track latency at these sites now, analyzing traffic, etc.) When we get a latency delay, Nagios checks the host to see if it's alive. Latency is too high, so the host check times out. Host checks crawl up the chain to the parent router for the site, and flag it as down. The end result is that Nagios sees brief two-minute outages at the remote site. When we get a Nagios alert, it goes into our trouble ticket system and is distributed to the appropriate administrator. When the ticket is issued for latency, however, it is a) viewed as a false positive and b) detracts from real remote site outages. With Nagios 3 I would repeat the host check five minutes later before sending an alert. That's not an option in Nagios 2.9. I'm not entirely comfortable running beta code in this production environment, for political reasons rather than technical ones. I'd like to separate the latency problem from a site down problem. I can think of a couple ways to do this: 1) increase the 10-second maximum timeout for a service check to complete. Can this be done in Nagios? 2) have the trouble ticket system be a escalation contact that is only notified after the problem persists for five minutes. We're not using escalations today, but they can't be too hard. Has anyone dealt with this type of problem before? Any other suggestions or advice on monitoring and alarming in this sort of environment? Thanks, ==ml -- Michael W.

Subject: [Nagios-users] managing latency-induced host down alerts
Hi,
I'm using Nagios 2.9 on FreeBSD, on a wide area network that has
remote networks scattered across the USA and Mexico.
We have a problem where latency on some remote circuits rises due to
congestion. This means that various service checks time out, as they
take more than 10 seconds to complete. (Yes, this is a real problem,
and we're addressing it. I'm using smokeping to track latency at
these sites now, analyzing traffic, etc.)
I'd like to separate the latency problem from a site down problem. I
can think of a couple ways to do this:
1) increase the 10-second maximum timeout for a service check to
complete. Can this be done in Nagios?
Yes, and is the route I would take since it's the simplest. All standard
plugins support a timeout parameter, usually -t. You can run ./plugin
--help to verify if it's supported. Just add an appropriate timeout for
the test you're trying to complete in the command{} definition. You'll
also need to increase the master service_check_timeout parameter in
nagios.cfg. That's a fallback timeout in case the plugin doesn't
terminate itself properly. I have my plugin timeouts generally set at 45
seconds and the master at 60.
Hi,
My understanding was that Nagios terminated service checks after 10
seconds, no matter how long the plugin took to complete?
I have my plugins set to 10 seconds, but when I increase them beyond
10 seconds Nagios still reports the maximum time for any check is 10
seconds.
Thanks,
==ml

Re: [Nagios-users] Ftp issue
Hi, I no longer have access to a Windows FTP server, sorry. However, I believe there is a Performance Monitor counter for current FTP users. If there is a Performance Monitor value, I know that SNMP will give that to you. I use SNMP Informant, you will probably find additional tools if you look. I believe that NSClient++ can also report on arbitrary performance monitor counters. Check Perfmon. If you can identify a counter that provides the current number of FTP users -- that is, if Windows provides the information -- than these tools will alarm on it for you. ==ml On Tue, Sep 04, 2007 at 08:06:53PM +0530, vadi wrote: Dear Michael, First let me tell thanks for all your help !!!

[Nagios-users] DBOUtils and Nagios 3 beta?
Hi, Can anyone comment on using the nagios 3 betas with NDOUtils and NagViz? I'm looking at moving to nagios3 to get the new host check behavior (where the system can recheck host state after a few minutes before issuing a critical alert). I also need to deploy NagViz, which means I need NDOUtils. I'd rather deploy the new version than upgrade later. Is the NDOUtils/Nagios3 interface finalized yet? How likely is an internal change that would break my setup? Thanks, ==ml -- Michael W.

Hi, If you build Nagios from ports, it will automatically include all of these dependencies. Installing Nagios via pkg_add -r nagios works equally well.

Any help showing in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. My first thought is, are your VoIP phones in a gold CAR on the MPLS? While VoIP works fine in any QoS queue on a lightly loaded MPLS circuit, you'll get all kinds of jitter under load if not. Not that I've had that happen, or anything. ==ml -- Michael W.

Definitely not. The problem for Nagios is that threading was added after the fact so nagios actually breaks some of the *strong* recommendations on what to do and what not to do in a threaded application after a fork(). The problem for *BSD and their thread implementation of the thread library is that Nagios actually works everywhere but on *BSD, and it *often* works there too, but not always. This often-but-not-always is usually a sign of a broken implementation, although exactly often-but-not-always is a sign of the errors you'll run into when you do what Nagios does post-fork(). I don't know of any other program that has the same problem on *BSD, but it would be interesting to see if there's a common pattern so one can pinpoint the exact pattern that causes the lock contention and races. It would, from a practical point of view, be best to patch it in the library, as that is a fix that would work for all possible future problems as well, although it's technically more correct to fix it in Nagios. Ugly discussion indeed. I'll try using a non SMP kernel to see it might help. If it doesn't this pretty much renders Nagios useless on FreeBSD. (Which makes me wonder why they even bother maintaining it in ports?) Out of curiousity, do you use passive checks, active checks or a mix of both in your setup? Was there ever a solution found to this problem? Skimming the (long) discussion thread, my first thought is to try libthr instead of libkse. The discussion seems to be on 5.x, I'd definitely try libthr on 6.x. Check libmap.conf for details. ==ml -- Michael W.

[Nagios-users] gcc4.2 and nagios-snmp-plugins
Hi, I'm running Nagios 2.9 on FreeBSD/amd64 7. The official FreeBSD port of nagios-snmp-plugins indicates that the software is broken with gcc 4.2. My attempts to compile it indicate that, yes, it's broken. While I could install compat6x and a FreeBSD 6.x package of nagios-snmp-plugins, and then brutalize it into working for me, I would really like my nice clean new server to at least start its production life without such a hack in place. Has anyone managed to build nagios-snmp-plugins with gcc2.9? Any pointers or suggestions? Thanks, ==ml -- Michael W.

[Nagios-users] Nagios end-user interfaces
Hi, I've searched through Nagiosexchange for options here, but wanted to ask for input before installing and evaluating thirty different tools. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I'm running Nagios 2.9 on FreeBSD/amd64. I need to offer Nagios information to end users without granting them access to the CGIs. Ideally, I don't want users to even know that the CGIs exist. The users need a bank of green/red lights and a network map. It appears that Nagios Looking Glass will handle the green and red lights. The network map is a little more complicated, but it appears that I could use Dashboard (http://www.nagiosexchange.org/Frontends.37.0.html?tx_netnagext_pi1[p_view]=962) to create a custom map without any further access, and offer a generic user for that map. Is this correct? Are there better tools for this problem? While Nagiosexchange is grand, it's hard to tell which tools are good and which aren't...

Re: [Nagios-users] identifying the slow check
Actually, this is very interesting. I found and killed my slow check (a fping, as someone else suggested). Running the profile script below gives me: Total Execution Time: 47 (sec) NumChecks: 144 Average Time: 0.332 (sec) From reading status.dat, this is about what I'd expect. On the other hand, the Active Service Checks in the Web interface shows very different numbers: Active Service Checks: Time Frame Checks Completed = 1 minute:44 (30.6%) = 5 minutes: 144 (100.0%) = 15 minutes: 144 (100.0%) = 1 hour: 144 (100.0%) Since program start:144 (100.0%) Does the Web present a long-term average or some such?
