Unfortunately, SNMP is disabled and can not be enabled.
I will look at the check_ssh plugin.

[Nagios-users] Monitoring a HP-UX system

2009-04-28 Thread Palle L Jensen

Hey List,

 

I was wondering if anyone would know if it is possible to monitor a few
things on a HP-UX system without installing anything on the server? We are
unable to install anything, plugins, apps etc on the server, it's a
production server. Below is a description of the general requirements.

 

The general requirements:

- Cannot install anything on the system - it's a validated production
system.

- It runs a SSH server daemon that we'd like to monitor.

- What I'd like to see is some way to have it connect to the specified port,
read the banner and then just abort the connection. The purpose of this is
that perhaps the Nagios system could read the banner response it gets, and
if it is not what it's expected, or fails to receive a banner/login prompt,
send an alert.

 

I know that monitoring the ping is workable, but how about anything else,
see above. Any help is much appreciated.

 

Thanks,

PJ

[Nagios-users] contactgroups assgined to service groups

2009-04-18 Thread Palle L Jensen

Hello,

 

Been searching the manual to see if it possible to assign a contact group to
a service group, but not been able to find that it's possible.

 

Kinda like this:

 

Define Servicegroup (

Servicegroup_name   uptime

Alias   Host uptime

Contactgroupacontactgroupname

)

 

Thanks,

Re: [Nagios-users] HP Network Printer

2009-02-02 Thread Palle L Jensen

Martyn,

 

I have noticed people monitoring other stuff on printers using the SNMP
protocoll. However, since we have that protocol disabled I have no
experience in that. If you just want to make sure it is up and running you
could use the check_ping. Assuming it's a network printer with enabled NIC.

 

Thanks,

PJ

the following statement in the quick start guide

The check_hpjd plugin will only get compiled and installed if you have the
net-snmp and net-snmp-utils 
packages installed on your system. Make sure the plugin exists in
/usr/local/nagios/libexec before you 
continue. If it doesn't, install net-snmp and net-snmp-utils and
recompile/reinstall the Nagios plugins. 

OK do these get installed when you download and compile
nagios-plugins-1.4.11.tar.gz or do I have to grab then separately, I have
looked through my nagios/libexec directory and noticed that check_snmp is in
there but not the above two.

Where would I get hold of the two files as described

Re: [Nagios-users] Monitor Disk Drive

2009-02-02 Thread Palle L Jensen

Martyn,

 

Running Nagios 3.01 - This is how I monitor different disk drives on windows
machines, using NSClient++.

 

Example C and F: drives:

 

I define a command(s) in commands.cfg, like this:

 

# Define command for disk space on C:   ---#

define command{

command_name  check_diskc

command_line  $USER1$/check_nt -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -p 12489 -v $ARG1$ $ARG2$ -s
$USER7$

   }

 

# Define command for disk space on F:   ---#

define command{

command_name  check_diskf

command_line  $USER1$/check_nt -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -p 12489 -v $ARG1$ $ARG2$ -s
$USER7$

   }

 

In services.cfg I define the checks:

 

# Monitoring Disk Usage C:\

define service {

use  generic-service

host_namehostname

service_description  Disk-C

servicegroupsdisks

action_url
nagiosserver/nagios/cgi-bin/extinfo.cgi?type=2&host=$HOSTNAME$&service=Disk-
C

check_commandcheck_diskc!USEDDISKSPACE!-l c -w 95 -c 98

   }

 

# Monitoring Disk Usage F:\

F

}

 

 

Hope that helps!

That worked great, Recently was looking for something like this in the
cgi.cfg but never found the commands. I guess I should have looked closer in
the manual (http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/configcgi.html) cause
that made all sense. Adding that to the cgi.cfg worked perfect.

You are right I have been unable to add the action url in the service
definition, due to I have several hostnames for the specific service check.

For example the below DiskE check I have several hosts defined for that
check, how would I go by to replace "johndoehost" so the link will be
correct?

[Nagios-users] Acknowledged by user + Service action url

2009-01-15 Thread Palle L Jensen

Hello,

 

I have 2 problems that I am currently working on.

 

1. In Nagios Web-interface and when someone acknowledges a problem, the
Author (your name) it is pre-populated with "Nagios" and cannot be changed.
We would like to be able to populate that with operators that acknowledge
the problem.

- I have looked around on settings and permissions but can't find any
solution.

 

2. I wanted to have service action url in the acknowledge notes being sent
to operators from Nagios. The host action url works fine, but for the
service it does not populate the url in the notes.

- Below is how my commands look.

 

In commands.cfg it looks like this:

 

-- For host - and this works with action url: --

notify-host-by-email /usr/bin/printf "%b" "* Nagios Monitoring 3.0.1
*\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\n\nDate/Time:

$HOSTACKCOMMENT$\nUrl: $HOSTACTIONURL$" | /usr/bin/mail -s "**
$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ Host Alert: $HOSTNAME$ is $HOSTSTATE$ **" $CONTACTEMAIL$

 

Acknowledge note looks like this:

 

* Nagios Monitoring 3.0.1 *

Notification Type: ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

If anyone has any suggestions for changes that would make the 2 above
problems working it would be greatly appreciated.

 

 

Thanks,

PJ

[Nagios-users] USB Disconnect check?

2008-11-07 Thread Palle L Jensen

Hey Nagios Users,

 

Here's probably a very unusual question, but does anyone know if it is
possible (using NSCLient++) to monitor USB port(s).

What we would need to see (get alert) is when the device (headset) is being
unplugged/plugged in.

 

This is a call center and we are using VOIP, the agents found out that they
can get some extra slack by unplugging the headset and drop the call. This
monitoring would take place on workstation(s) running Win XP Pro. We are
using NSCLient++ for our monitoring here.

 

I've googled and checked forums and found nada.

 

Thanks,

Re: [Nagios-users] Alerting on 100% cpu for a period of time

2008-08-05 Thread Palle L Jensen

Lars,

I am not sure if this is what you are looking for.
We use NSclient++ to monitor windows hosts and this is our setup for
monitoring the Cpu Load on windows hosts.

#Command Definition for CPU Load (were $USER7 is a macro for the pwd to
#access the windows host):

define command{
command_namecheck_nt_cpu
command_line$USER1$/check_nt -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -p 12489 -v
CPULOAD -l $ARG1$ -s $USER7$
}


#This service definition will generate a critical alert if the 10-minute CPU
#load is 90% or more or a warning alert if the 10-minute load is 80% or
#greater. Just change the 10,80,90 as you please to fit your monitoring.

Service definition:
define service {
use generic-service
host_name   thehost001
service_description Cpu
servicegroups   cpu-load
check_command   check_nt_cpu!10,80,90

Hope it helps.

Thanks,
Palle

[Nagios-users] EventDB addon

2008-07-17 Thread Palle L Jensen

About a week ago netways announce the new Nagios forge and Nagios wiki
websites. I found an addon (EventDB) on the Nagioswiki that I would like to
try. Following the instructions on
http://www.nagioswiki.org/wiki/Addon:EventDb

I was not able to get anywhere due to there seemed to be missing files
(syslog-ng2mysql.pl and the init script) in the package/archive. Has anyone
done this setup? I may be in the wrong user list, if so can anyone lead me
in the right directions?

Thanks,
Palle

[Nagios-users] Url in the notification?

2008-05-16 Thread Palle L Jensen

I just love Nagios; it does so much great work for you! 

As you work with it though sometimes thoughts comes up, can it do more?

 

Here is my thought.

 

For example Nagios sends out an alert on high CPU load, would it be possible
to add the URL to the graph for the CPU load?

So it would look like this:

 

 

* Nagios Monitoring 3.0.1 *

 

Notification Type: PROBLEM

 

Service: Cpu

Host: Server001

Address: 000.000.000.000

State: WARNING

Date/Time: Fri May 16 13:36:06 EDT 2008

Url:
http://000.000.000.000/nagios/cgi-bin/graphs.cgi?host=Server01&service=Cpu

 

Additional Info:

 

CPU Load 80% (5 min average)

 

 

This would be very cool cause then you could click on the link and
immediately get to the overview of the graphing of the CPU load.

Does anyone know if this would be possible?

 

Thanks,

Palle

Re: [Nagios-users] nagios reboot XP

2008-05-07 Thread Palle L Jensen

I guess I should have been more specific, sorry about that.

I am running Nagios 3.0.1 on openSUSE 10.3, and I am only monitoring windows
hosts. On the windows hosts I am running NSClient++. That seems to work good
and I would prefer not to change to any other client.

I have read about the event handlers in the Nagios documentation, but the
samples there only refers to nrpe and scripts on the server. I understand
how to define the service in Nagios, but I am not sure how to create the
script that executes the batch file on the windows host? Maybe I am not
getting the point and understanding on the documentation.

Lets say I created a batch file that will start or restart a service, this
batch file is located in c:\NSclient++\scripts folder. And then defined the
service and command in Nagios:

define service{
host_name  somehost
service_descriptionsql-service
max_check_attempts 4
event_handler  restart-sqlagent
}

define command{
command_name   restart-sqlagent
command_line   what do I add here?? It has to be something that can
be sent to the Nsclient++/windows host and execute the batch script in
c:\NSclient++\scripts folder
}

The command line on the eventhandler documentation shows a path to a local
script and local command "/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart" 

So creating and event handler for services or others on the box where Nagios
is running, I understand. But not how to do it remotely to a windows host.

If you could shed some more light over this I would very much appreciate it.

Thanks,

PJ

You need to read the documentation on event handlers. I would recommend
using NC_Net, but that is personal preference. The documentation can be
found at either of these 2 places, as you have not specified your Nagios
version ;)

NC_Net and NRPE also can provide the ability to run scripts on the windows
Host.

to restart a service the net start/stop command works well in windows

You can also setup the services on the windows box to automatically restart
through the windows service manager

 As Sebastian indicated, you could use NSClient++ in order to execute
psshutdown and or psservice from Sysinternals as part of an
eventhandler.

[Nagios-users] Threshold for processes

2008-02-04 Thread Palle L Jensen

Hi All,

 

I have a question that i find interesting and that I really never thought of
before.

 

We monitor around 60 hosts and 260 services, have Nagios 2.9 installed on a
HP Compaq dc5700 Small Form Factor

Intel Pentium D 915 / 2.8 GHz Dual-Core 64-bit med 1GB DDRII Ram.

 

Monitoring the processes on the Nagios machine it sometimes a sends out a
warning or critical per passing the threshold of w:200 and c:250, it used to
give warnings and critical when I was working on the machine, testing
different things, but would go back to normal when I was done. 2 weeks ago I
added additional 30 hosts and about 150 services and now every second day
Nagios send out 1 or 2 alerts for exciding the threshold.

 

When I check the CPU/Ram/Network utilization it shows very low on both CPU's
(2-5%) and below half of the Ram utilization, and only 1/10th of the swap
file. Network traffic is low as well.

 

Here is my question:

 

If the CPU and Ram is not overloaded, what is the critical part with
processes? And what is really the maximum processes that can be run, when
the CPU show no overload (not even close)? Also is the default threshold set
in Nagios just a general threshold i.e Warning over 200 and Critical over
250 procs. What would make the decision of the Warning/Critical threshold?

 

Thanks,

Palle

Re: [Nagios-users] check_nt: Could not parse arguments

2008-01-30 Thread Palle L Jensen

We are running NSClient++ 0.2.7 2007-03-06 on the windows servers and Nagios
2.9 on Fedora 6.

Right now we are monitoring 56 servers and 196 services, we monitor
processes, memory, disk space, and windows services. However I cannot get
the Cpu load to work.

 

Thanks,

Palle

What's your version of nsclient installed in the windows side ?   How's your
NSC.ini configured if you're using nsclient++?

Morning all,

 

I am having an issue with adding cpuload monitoring on windows machines.

I know there are no issues on the windows side since I have other services
being monitored with no problems.

Also the error message tells me the arguments that are specified are not
correct.

I have google'd, and checked the Nagios documentation and tried different
ways, but non works.

And this is were I am at now. Could anyone look this over and tell me what
is wrong?

If I am not mistaken you should not have to add the host address and port#

But thanks anyways :-)

Hi,

the old NagiosGrapher interfaces (network/pipe) can cause huge
latency :-(. Thanks to a patch we got there is a new interface type
"file". The main advantages of this new interface are:
* no gaps any more
* no latency caused by NagiosGrapher
* restarting NagiosGrapher does not cause any gaps

I am sorry but the documentation totally lacks this interface. But below
is all you need.

Cheers,

Gerd




 
ngraph.ncfg:

interface   file
perffile_path   /dev/shm

nagios.cfg:

process_performance_data=1
service_perfdata_file=/dev//shm/service-perfdata
service_perfdata_file_template=$HOSTNAME$\t$SERVICEDESC$\t
$SERVICEOUTPUT$\t$SERVICEPERFDATA$\t$TIMET$
service_perfdata_file_mode=a
service_perfdata_file_processing_interval=60

service_perfdata_file_processing_command=process-service-perfdata-file


commands.cfg:

Re: [Nagios-users] rrd gaps

2008-01-02 Thread Palle L Jensen

Lars and Gerd,

I am having a similar problem with rrd gaps.
It was doing fine until I added 3 more hosts and 8 more services and then
suddenly I get the rrd gaps, some graphs are even blank.

My latency are as below (they seem pretty high compared to yours?):

# nagiostats | grep -i latency
Active Service Latency:   6.804 / 330.675 / 238.562 sec
Active Host Latency:  0.000 / 0.000 / 0.000 sec

nagiostats | grep -i total
Used/High/Total Command Buffers:  0 / 8 / 4096
Used/High/Total Check Result Buffers: 85 / 106 / 4096
Total Services:   106
Total Service State Change:   0.000 / 0.000 / 0.000 %
Total Hosts:  36
Total Host State Change:  0.000 / 0.000 / 0.000 %

I also use the rpm package from linadd.org.
nagios-2.9-1.i586.rpm,
nagios-web-2.9-1.i586.rpm,
nagios-plugins-1.4.9-1.i586.rpm,
nagios-plugins-extras-1.4.9-1.i586.rpm
nagios-graph-1.6.1-rc3.i586.rpm

If you find any solution for this I would be more than happy :)

Thanks,
- Palle

 Hi All,

 we use latest nagios-3 and latest NagiosGrapher-1.6.1-rc5.

 It all works very well, except for one annoying problem:
 I get gaps in the graphs, and I don't understand why.

 Any ideas appreciated, sample graph attached.

[Nagios-users] Nagiosgrapher limits?

2007-11-21 Thread Palle L Jensen

Are there any limitations to Nagiosgrapher like how many hosts/services it
is capable of to produce graphs for?

As soon as I get to a certain limit of hosts/services (passed around 34
hosts and/or around 100 services), the graphs acts "weird", the Icon graphs
becomes white and if you click them to see the actual graph, it shows no
data there. Has anyone run into this scenario before? We are monitoring 36
Hosts and 103 services, where 100 services are being graphed.



Thanks,

- Palle

Linux Fedora Core 6 - Nagios 2.9 - Nagios web  2.9 - Nagios plugins 1.4.9-1

Thanks Marc, Working fine now. The authorized_for_* settings was what I had

This should be 1.

This is fine.

> authorized_for _system_command=* (tried both * and root,nagios,guest)

This only says that anyone can shutdown or restart nagios or change it
from active to standby. You want more than that. You'll want to look at
all the authorized_for_* settings in cgi.cfg, but specifically --

authorized_for_all_services
authorized_for_all_hosts
authorized_for_all_service_commands
authorized_for_all_host_commands

Re: [Nagios-users] Authentication question

2007-11-14 Thread Palle L Jensen

Thanks Marc for your quick response,

I've tried a few variations and the result is
I don't get the logon window (which Is good, we don't want the logon
window), but I can still not execute the cgi commands.

I changed these sections in the cgi.cfg
use_authentication=0 (tried both 0 and 1)
default_user_name=guest (enabled)
authorized_for _system_command=* (tried both * and root,nagios,guest)


nagios.conf looks like this:

ScriptAlias /nagios/cgi-bin /usr/share/nagios/cgi 
   Options ExecCGI
   AllowOverride None
   Order allow,deny
   Allow from all


Alias /nagios /usr/share/nagios

   Options None
   AllowOverride None
   Order allow,deny
   Allow from all


This is what we are trying to achieve:
- No userlogon.
- Able to use all cgi commands in Nagios. (full admin rights, views, execute
commands)

Thanks,
Palle

See the default_user_name directive in cgi.cfg.

[Nagios-users] Authentication question

2007-11-13 Thread Palle L Jensen

Hi All,

 

We have it setup to use login name and password in order to see Nagios Web
interface, and I want to remove that and then still be able to execute the
cgi commands.

Is it possible to remove the authentication and still be able to use the Cgi
commands in Nagios?

I have read the manual, but it doesn't seem to work.

I am running Nagios 2.9 on Fedora Core 6.

 

Thanks,

Palle
