Re: [Nagios-users] monitor bsd by snmp

Re: [Nagios-users] popen timeout received, but no child process
You might try compiling check_ping --without-ipv6, that solved a different problem for me that I was experiencing with check_ping. Also have a read of this thread: https://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=14887381 it had to do with the ipv6 host check, where it would check whether or not the host is an IPv6 address, by calling a getaddrinfo(), and that would take long enough that SIGALRM would be tripped, and child_process was NULL at that point. -mike On Jan 2, 2007, at 1:15 PM, Jay Chandler wrote: My apologies if this has already been discussed here-- a cursory search of the archives didn't turn up much.

In checkcommands.cfg, try wrapping ARG3 in single quotes on the

password to not use a $ character.

I have a simple question. What should I do to include the
character $ as
one
of the password characters in the check command?
Here are some required information:
1- OS FC 5
2- kernel 2.6.18-1
3- Nagios version 2.5
4- The command definition
# 'check_httpp' command definition
define command{
command_namecheck_httpp
command_line$USER1$/check_http -p $ARG1$ -I $ARG2$ -t
120 -a
$ARG3$
}
5- The service configuration
define service{
use generic-service
host_name
service_description YYY
contact_groups ZZZ
check_command check_httpp!61002!192.168.1.4!:33$77
}
When I execute the command manually it works.
Any help will be much appreciated
Regards

In nagios.cfg, what values are you using for service_reaper_frequency and sleep_time? I'm using service_reaper_frequency=5 and sleep_time=1 for about 10 hosts and 200 services.

I’ve moved nagios-2 to be in the same location as nagios (-1), the webserver etc. Everything is running, I can access the cgis, etc. All values have been updated to reflect the move.

The retention.dat file is not updating while nagios is running. It is also not updated when nagios shuts down, seen by both the code in the init script and the modification time of the retention file, even though the comments say it will: So I decided to then remove the retention.dat file. This worked great as the status no longer says 1/11 for the last check. Except that no data is being retained. So anytime I do a restart, all statuses go back to pending.

[Nagios-users] retention.dat not created
Howdy fellow Nagios users. I've been researching a Nagios issue I've
been experience, and as I haven't yet been able to resolve it with
help from the nagios forums, I thought I would try the mailing list.
My system: FreeBSD 6.0 / Nagios 2.0b6 and 2.0rc1
The problem: I've been unable to get retention.dat working as
described in the documentation. The file is never created. It
doesn't appear to be a file/dir permissions problem (running as
nagios/nagios). It's not a multiple Nagios processes problem. The
file never gets created or populated with data. I've tried values of
0, 3, and 60 for retention_update_interval, and have restarted Nagios
(killed all procs) and given it plenty of time to populate
retention.dat, I never see the file created.
My need is to have Nagios remember disabled service checks and
disabled notifications when it is restarted.
Below are the relevant parts of my config (please assume a host entry
exists):
retain_state_information=1
state_retention_file=/var/spool/nagios/retention.dat
retention_update_interval=60
use_retained_program_state=1
use_retained_scheduling_info=1
define service{
name generic-service
active_checks_enabled 1
is_volatile 0
check_period 24x7
max_check_attempts 2
normal_check_interval 5
retry_check_interval 1
passive_checks_enabled 0
parallelize_check 1
obsess_over_service 1
check_freshness 0
notifications_enabled 1
notification_interval 120
notification_period 24x7
notification_options c,r
event_handler_enabled 1
flap_detection_enabled 1
process_perf_data 1
retain_status_information 1
retain_nonstatus_information 1
register 0
}
define service{
use generic-service
host_name somehostname.domain.com
service_description SSH Secure Shell
contact_groups level_1_notifications
check_command check_ssh
}
And a couple of directory listings:
/var/spool # ls -la

/var/spool/nagios # ls -la
