Re: [Nagios-users] No email alerts ??
Your definitly right about only sending from the root (usr/bin/sendmail) not a typo i tried that since /bin/mail didnt work for me so i thought i would try it out cause thats all it can do i tried placing that in the commands cfg obviusly didnt work... now i also tried making the user root and gave it permission but now i think i played way to much with mail and sendmail i screwed it up big time with the permissions.wat i think will end up doing is reinstalling nagios again..crap I didnt know that sendmail and mail are two different i guess i was wrong .. i mean i did installation word by word as written in manaul i have everything working expet email ? one small question is bin/mail a relay client ? and where is $contactemail$ defined anywhere except commands.cfg i see in the nagios.log file as mention in my eearlier posts that i see its trying to send it out but keeps getting line code error 127 unkown email address (which is my gmail) On 10/4/07, Hugo van der Kooij [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Thu, 4 Oct 2007, Nedim Bicic right about only sending from the root casue thats all it can do i tried placing that in the commands cfg obviusly didnt work... now i also tried making the user root and gave it permission OK check this out..funny thing is regarding the path /bin/mail doesnt exist anywhere from the root i tryed tracing back so i tryed executing this from the command line and i am able to recieve the email which now at least i know MTA is defintly working: I didnt put any argumetns as u can see this is just to test usr/bin/sendmail -s [EMAIL PROTECTED] works from command line but not from commands.cfg??

[Nagios-users] Maintaning Nagios 2.9
Hey all i have nagios 2.9 installed everything working nice and peachy so far. I have question in terms of maintanace of nagios does the mysql databe needs to be truncated every one in a while, and what about the logs should i be running cron jobs on the linux box to delete logs and data that are more then 5 months old or does it overwrite information each day. Does anyone have doc on that since the maunal does focuse on maintace just installtion. For ex: i dont want to be running out of space any time soon do to these problems that may occur in the future thanks - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Do you have events logged by Nagios? Does it show notifications? If that
happens to be the case then llok at the delivery of the notifications.
If one assumes you run this as the nagios user then test is as such.
Become the nagios user with:
su - nagios s /bin/sh
Then execute the command as shown on the commandline but substitute
$CONTACTEMAIL for the intended recipient.
If that fails to deliver then you need to fix your MTA. Get to the logs of
it to check it out.

$USER1$=/usr/local/nagios/libexec*

I believe you had/have a working nagios that is checking hosts and
services already, correct? What did you change? Are the previous checks
you had still working? If so, how are the new service checks different
than the working ones? Without seeing your service/command definitions
in question, it sounds like you've got a check_command or command_line
wrong.

Re: [Nagios-users] General Questions
Well i have 598 hosts and i am using only ping serivce for each host as far as pooling i think its every 30 sec i need to know as soon as something goes down thats why its so low freaking out in terms of i get critical threholds breahes on the local machine, i mean i can always raise it but i wanted to know if that will somehow impact the server of running slow or burning up because its working to hard to be checking so many processes. So if i wanted to know if its save to add more hosts Maybe distributed checking where put another server to be checking for procceses and the other reporting in ( i was reading online) but thats money and effort maybe in near future would have to do On 7/29/07, Rogelio Bastardo [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Nedim Bicic wrote: I have nagio 2.4 How many hosts can Nagios handle i have 598 hosts i think its freaking out a little ?

Re: [Nagios-users] Status log is empty but is not Host are not dispalyed anymore ??
How can i free up more space can i delete the log file so it can start from scratch again not to be confused with deleting the host file and ifo so where can i find this log file to delete i mean there must be a way i can delete information i dont need. It would be very helpful if i can delete or dump a file that is huge that i can safely delete i dont want to create another nagios sever i dont have the time maybe in a long run i can but now i need something fast. i dont want to crewate another database either i am not an expert in that also Do you think if i can empty the nagios log file where nagios is writiting the issue will disapear??

Re: [Nagios-users] Getting too many Nagios notifications
Set up parenting not dependencies on your network this will definitly reduce your emails and or also increase Ping latency if you are getting alot of warning messages as well afterwards On 3/13/07, Guy Rosen [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, I have a simple setup running Nagios 2.3.1 (actually NagiosVMA, configured using Groundwork Monarch). I have a host with many services on it (both remote checks performed using check_by_ssh and checks for various public services), and I get a barrage of notifications whenever something goes wrong. So, I defined dependencies. The services in a host are dependent on the host (and/or on the PING service, and some other general services). But, there are some timing issues that mean I still get hammered with a lot of alerts. What happens during outages it this: 1. The host itself goes down, but not before a few services manage to go down individually (so I get a few service down notifications) 2. More services that go down when the host is down do not generate any notifications - good. 3. When the outage is over, Nagios detects the host is up. 4. Now the services are detected as going up, and since the host is up there is no dependency to filter the notifications, so I get a whole barrage of service OK notifications. These are killing my cellphone :-). Can anyone direct me to the best way to better configure these things? Thanks! - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

[Nagios-users] Inheritence and host dependencies
hey guys
I have nagios 2.4 on my linux
i also have 54 host dependencies set up the follwing way
define hostdependency{
host_name parent
dependent_host_name child1,child2,child3
notification_failure_criteria d,u ; These are the criteria for which
notifications will be suppressed
}
parent is my master hostname and child1 and child2 and child3 are are the
dependents as you can see
Now what I read from the manual if parent goes down then logically child1,
child2 and child3 are also down thats what i see on my network
But i keep getting 4 emails from parent, child1, child2 and child 3
I want only to get email from parent i thought the host dependency cfg
file above does that for me ??
Can you help out thanks
I dont know if this command in the template is the answer but help would be
appricated
inherits_parent [0/1]
