Re: [Nagios-users] BUG: check_disk doesn't support LVM volumes
Martin J. Green said... | |Think I might see the problem... look at the % used for the partitions |that don't work (its not a %) No, all the % columns have the %, though some are scooted way over.

Sorry, I'm out of ideas other than trying another version of the plugins in case this one has a bug. The only problem I have seen with check_disk is when an NFS mount goes weird and the df -hP returns outout without numbers, as in fred:/dev/foo - - - - /dev/foo I use check_disk primarily on NFS mounted partitions and a handful of local disks. Everything else handle through nagios-statd on remote boxes, which also uses the df -hP command, but different code to parse and report, so it's not relevant.

[Nagios-users] Some beginner answers
|1. The .cfg files, I assumed, are supposed to be owned by nagios user
|and group and be chmod 755?
Ours are owned by me (I manage them via RCS),
and are 644 or 444, depending on whether they're
checked out for editing. There's no reason for
execute permission AFAIK.
|2. For instance, in the hosts.cfg file, am I able to define hosts one
|after another in the same file as follows:
|
|define hosts{
|info here
|}
|define hosts{
|different host here
|}
|etc...
Yes.

[Nagios-users] config files and upograding
We've been running 1.2 pretty much since it came out. I'd liike to try a 2.x version, but nowhere am I finding anything about config file changes. Can I just start with the 1.2 config files and have it work? If not, can someone point me to a doc about the steps to upgrade? The upgrade from whatever nagios was before to nagios was a major pain. (In fact, I wish there had been an option for using the old format; I prefer to manage config files with old-fashioned *nix command line tools, and that works much better when each line is an entire config command!)

[Nagios-users] surge in Service Check Timed Out messages
I've been running nagios 1.2 for some time with no problems. It's on fairly lightly loaded system. In the last month or so, I've started seeing an odd problem. Once or twice a day, anywhere from 10 to 30 chekcs will suddenly have Servce Check Timed Out problems, resulting in a bunch of critical flags. These will hang around until I either restart or reload nagios; then everything goes back to green. It's a consistent fix. But it's rather annoying. Eventually the conditions will clear if left alone, but it can take 10 - 60 minutes. They tend to clear in batches. If, for example, I suddenly have 29 critical messages, 10-15 minutes later I suddenly have 19. A couple of minutes later I'll have 4, and a couple of minutes later, back to 0. Some of the monitored systems are swamped, but some are just under a normal, medium load. I *believe* all the timeouts are related to nagios-statd checks, but I can't swear to that. Certainly most are. And, no, we haven't changed the nagios-statd version lately. We haven't expanded the scope of what's monitored, we've actually reduced system and service count in nagios as we've upgraded to fewer, faster systems in our compute farm and infrastructure. The network isn't any busier than it was. I'm not seeing any evidence of NIC problems. Even though the nagios server is lightly loaded, I have tried backing off the timings. No change. The results do show up in the status.log file; this isn't a GUI issue. Anyone know what's going on? I searched the archives and found nothing useful. (The sourceforge search interface is really annoying; is there a way to get results in threaded view, instead of every post in a thread having its own link in the results?)
