Re: [Nagios-users] latency problem
Andreas, I've just finished the tests :-) The standard configuration doesn't work for me as i told in previous message. So i've tried the send_nsca you provide with the module and it works fine. The only drawback i see (correct me if i'm wrong) is that the module doesn't send performance data for services (so i can't use it for now). What is really cool in my case is that the latency has gone (0.219 sec for now compare to the 5000 sec before). So the problem is solved. So, for the moment, i'm using the OCP_daemon to handle the oc[hs]p commands (and it seems to just work fine) but i would rather use your module in the long term. The approach is by far more elegant than using performance configuration for the commands. So if you want to go ahead and developp it further, i would gladly help you release a production ready version of it. pnsca would be a must have in large environments like mine. Thanks for you kind help and thanks to Hendrik for pointing me in the right direction.

Re: [Nagios-users] latency problem
It seems that oc[hs]p is the one to blame for performance issue i related. I've restarted nagios without those two commands activated. Nagios has done so far about 10 000 checks and has now a latency of 0.055 sec. So i'm decided to give pnsca module a try. It's already compiled and installed in /usr/local/nagios/lib but i would like some precisions about how to configure it in nagios.cfg. Below is what i've already done in it. obsess_over_services=0 obsess_over_hosts=0 event_broker_options=-1 broker_module=/usr/local/nagios/lib/pnsca.so Looks correct for you ? Maybe there is a setting more accurate for the broker options rather than everything ? For now, i'm calling send_nsca like that submit_check_result "$HOSTNAME$" "$SERVICEDESC$" "$SERVICESTATEID$" "$SERVICEOUTPUT$ | $SERVICEPERFDATA$" The submit_check_result script is the usual one with the pipe to send_nsca. With those infos, could you give me an example of what is expected in . I'd be ready to go with pnsca after that and will give the conclusion of the test here. Thanks for your help and support.

Re: [Nagios-users] latency problem
Thanks Hendrik for response. The large installation tweaks are on. The macros are disabled. auto_reschedule_checks is off. Retention state and scheduling are on. The average check_interval is about 4 hours because services are both active-passive. They were before only passive but freshness checking was a problem because they are not balanced like active ones. So i use now active checks for freshness checking of services that are mostly passive. (they can receive events at any time). Not to confusing i hope ;-) But what's really strange is the average latency value shown in performance screen. In the debug log, latency given for each service checked indicates only one to ten seconds. And like i told in first message, it looks that they are checked in time according to the scheduling queue screen. I'm going to test things you mentioned in your reply.

[Nagios-users] latency problem
Hi list, I get some latency problems i can't explain. Here's the story. Nagios 3.0.3 on Ubuntu 8.0.4. Hardware is an intel quad core with 10 Go Ram and fast disks. I get 24524 services on 1654 hosts to check. Services are mostly active-passive with a check intervall of 6 hours. check_intervall for hosts is 0 so Nagios make them only on demand. No broker module activated. ocsp and ochp are activated because this server is part of a distributed system. Nagios debug is activated. Some configuration options i have. service_inter_check_delay_method=s service_interleave_factor=s host_inter_check_delay_method=s max_concurrent_checks=0 max_service_check_spread=240 check_result_reaper_frequency=2 max_check_result_reaper_time=30 I tried to "play" with those options without success. Latency keeps growing whatever i tried. What is strange is the fact that in the performance screen i see that Metric Min.Max.Average Check Execution Time: 0.00 sec15.01 sec 0.888 sec Check Latency: 0.00 sec10191.24 sec4924.060 sec Percent State Change: 0.00% 18.36% 0.24% and that in the scheduling queue, i see that at 9:45. SERVER PRINT_ERROR 25-09-2008 03:45:32 25-09-2008 09:45:32 Normal ENABLED Disable Active Checks Of This Service Re-schedule This Service Check It seems that services are corrrectly scheduled despite the latency i see in the performance screen. /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -s /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg tells me that everything is fine and have no suggestion for me. HOST SCHEDULING INFORMATION --- Total hosts: 1654 Total scheduled hosts: 0 Host inter-check delay method: SMART Average host check interval: 0.00 sec Host inter-check delay: 0.00 sec Max host check spread: 360 min First scheduled check: N/A Last scheduled check:N/A SERVICE SCHEDULING INFORMATION --- Total services: 24524 Total scheduled services: 23739 Service inter-check delay method: SMART Average service check interval: 17331.08 sec Inter-check delay: 0.61 sec Interleave factor method: SMART Average services per host: 14.83 Service interleave factor: 15 Max service check spread: 240 min First scheduled check: Thu Sep 25 10:07:13 2008 Last scheduled check: Thu Sep 25 14:07:15 2008 CHECK PROCESSING INFORMATION Check result reaper interval: 2 sec Max concurrent service checks: Unlimited PERFORMANCE SUGGESTIONS --- I have no suggestions - things look okay. So i'm a bit lost. Which screen is right ? The performance one that indicates the 4924 sec latency or the scheduling one that tells me the checks are made in time. What do you think of that ? How can the latency be so high when nagios needs to make only 1 or 2 checks/seconds ? Is there anything wrong in my setup ? Thanks in advance for any advice or info you could give.

Re: [Nagios-users] collectd or cacti
Hi, I think those are not quite the same. Collectd is rahter a collection of metrics tool and cacti intends to be a complete solution for rrdtool. Collectd is based on the push (passive) model where each node push its data to at least one central server. Collectd doesn't have any decent frontend. You must use drraw or cacti to graph the datas collected. Also rrd databases are just a option to store the data among others (e.g csv). You can have collects frequencies you can't achieve with an active model (every 10 seconds or less if you want) Cacti is based on a polling model (active pull). It collects, store and graph the datas. Conclusion : you can use both rather than one or one. Olivier http://nagios-fr.org "Marcelo M.

Re: [Nagios-users] nrpe/nsca or check_by_ssh
Hi all, NRPE is for active checks and NSCA for passive ones. So you can use NRPE instead of SSH. Olivier Jan http://nagios-fr.org "J.

[Nagios-users] question regarding notification logic
Hi list, I have services checks scheduled every 4 hours but want to have a notification interval of 1 hour. It seems that it can't be done in Nagios because of the notification logic.

[Nagios-users] web interface access and authorization
Hi list, I have a question regarding web interface authorization with nagios 3. What i understood is that - you can have peoples not in contact for a host or service that can view all hosts and services but cannot issue commands for them (wiht right permissions). - You can have peoples define as contact for a host or service than can view and command all hosts and services for which they are contact. The questions are : Can you have people as contact for host and service that can view those hosts and services but CANNOT issue command on them. How can i achieve this ? Can you have people not define as contact for a host and service to see only certains hostgroups or servicegroups and don't issue commands on them ?

Re: [Nagios-users] Monitoring unix (SUN) logfiles...
Hi, You should give a try to SEC (Simple Event Correlator) for monitoring log files on unix. It's not an active plugin but you can use this great parser in a passive fashion with Nagios. I think it's make more sense to passively check log files. First, you are alerted in real time, not on the polling intervall you set. Second, You don't poll for nothing. And third, you can do some event correlation with this perl program Olivier Jan "Marc Powell" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Ecrivait: > > >> -Original Message- >> From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:nagios-users- >> [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Fabio Iovine >> Sent: Monday, October 08, 2007 9:09 AM >> To: nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net >> Subject: [Nagios-users] Monitoring unix (SUN) logfiles... >> >> hi folks, >> I read on the website among the features Nagios can monitor log files > but >> I was unable to find more precise informations on how it does the >> monitoring. > > Two scripts are distributed with the plugins -- check_log.sh and > contrib/check_log2.pl.
