That doesn't look wrong.
Make sure the template generic-service defines all obligatory values.
What does the error say in detail? (nagios -v output).
This is the way my RDP monitoring is set up:
define service {
use default-service
host_name SERVERNAME
service_description RDP
check_command check_tcp!3389
}
define service{

Also make sure, check_tcp is really located under $USER1$.

[Nagios-users] Using Nokia 6210 to send SMS with gnokii
Hey list, I'm trying to use a Nokia 6210 mobile phone to send Nagios notifications to other cell phones. I have the 6210 with software version 04.36. I have a DAU9 serial cable. What I don't have is any success :( I tried running the phone with gnokii, without any success. There are tons of "working" configurations out there. Tried most of them, so far non worked. Just to make sure, the cable and phone are ok, I tried running the Nokia PC Suite on Windows 2000. Also, without success, the phone is not found. Since the phone already worked with a serial cable connection, and the cable is new, I don't think that one of them is actually broken, but what do I know. So, my question is: Is anybody out there using a Nokia 6210 with a serial cable (DAU9 would be best) successfully? Maybe even with gnokii? If so, it would be awesome, if you could provide me with a REALLY working configuration, so I could either get it to run, or ensure that "something" is broken. Or maybe someone has the same issues and we could share experience and maybe figure it out? Right now I'm using the following gnokii configuration: [global] port = /dev/ttyS0 model = 7110 initlength = default connection = serial use_locking = yes serial_baudrate = 9600 smsc_timeout = 10 [gnokiid] bindir = /usr/sbin/ [connect_script] TELEPHONE = 12345678 [disconnect_script] Thanks a lot in advance ;-) Regards, Philipp - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

Re: [Nagios-users] Using Nokia 6210 to send SMS with gnokii
Allan, thanks for your answer. I don't know what was the problem was, but with moving to a different box my configuration worked. It seems as if (for some reason) the linux box didn't like the mobile, and the windows box was... well... a windows box ;-)) Anyway, if someone wants to use the combination of the 6210, a dau9 cable and linux with gnokii, this configuration worked for me: [global] port = /dev/ttyS0 #might be different, depending on how many serial ports you have, an which you use, this is com1. model = 7110#this driver includes the 6210 initlength = default connection = dau9p # connection = serial also works, but with the dau9p setting you get a way better performance with the dau9 cable. use_locking = yes serial_baudrate = 19200 #unused setting, only in AT mode. smsc_timeout = 10 [gnokiid] bindir = /usr/sbin/ [connect_script] TELEPHONE = 12345678 [disconnect_script] [logging] debug = off rlpdebug = off Anyway, I AM experiencing instability with this combination, my first guess was that the cell phone might be a bit odd (some commands ended up in an error and the cell phone wouldn't work until restarted), so I think I'll give gammu a shot.

Pick out a Port that would be open, if the firewall was down. Now configure a check_tcp check for this port, and negate it. The service will be ok as long as the port is closed, an critical if the port is open (and your firewall down). As I said, only if I did get you right.

[Nagios-users] Nuvola Style for Nagios 3.0
Hi folks, I was wondering if anybody had news on the Nuvola Style (http://www.nagiosexchange.org/Image_Packs.75.0.html?&tx_netnagext_pi1[p_view]=252&tx_netnagext_pi1[page]=10%3A10)? Is it going to be ported to Nagios 3.0? If yes, when? I think there's not much work to do, cause it is just a few things that don't work perfectly... I just wanted to make sure, that there's not gonna be a new version next week, before I sit down and do a re-write. I know it's just a petty detail, but I got used to that look over the last year.. :-( Thanks! -Philipp - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

Anyway, what I found so far is, that the menu options "Unhandled" for Host and Service problems do not exist within nuvola (as they didn't in Nagios 2.x). But you can easily add them yourself, by editing share/side/dtree_data.js and replace Line 37 to 40 with this: monitoring.add(11,0,'Problems','','','','side/icons/folder.gif','side/icons/folder_open.gif'); monitoring.add(12,11,'Service',cgipath + 'status.cgi?host=all&servicestatustypes=28','','','side/icons/error.gif','side/icons/error.gif'); monitoring.add(13,12,'Unhandled',cgipath + 'status.cgi?host=all&type=detail&servicestatustypes=16&hoststatustypes=3&serviceprops=42&servicestatustypes=28','','','side/icons/error.gif'); monitoring.add(14,11,'Host',cgipath + 'status.cgi?hostgroup=all&style=hostdetail&hoststatustypes=12','','','side/icons/error.gif','side/icons/error.gif'); monitoring.add(15,14,'Unhandled',cgipath + 'status.cgi?hostgroup=all&style=hostdetail&hoststatustypes=12&hostprops=42','','','side/icons/error.gif'); monitoring.add(16,11,'Network Outages',cgipath + 'outages.cgi','','','side/icons/error.gif'); Anyway, I can't tell anything more that wouldn't be working right now (That worked with 2.x), so: Never mind, I'm stupid.

I might be wrong, but I remember Nagios to being able to map HTTP User and Hostgroup. A user (instead of nagiosadmin) should be able to only see a hostgroup with only the same name. eg, Loginname: company1, hostgroup name: company1 I tried it once, it worked, but I don't have a sample at hand.

As Nagios is only run by Plugins, even with notifications, you can do
almost anything that transports your informations to a SMS Provider.
Pretty cheap is, for example, what I am doing.
I have regular old Nokia 6210 cell phone hooked to the Nagios box.
Then I use gammu (http://www.gammu.org/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page)
to Pipe notifications to that cell phone.
My notification command looks like this:
define command{
command_namenotify-by-sms
command_line/usr/bin/printf "%b" "Nagios\n\nType:
$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\nService: $SERVICEDESC$\nHost: $HOSTALIAS$\nAddress:
$HOSTADDRESS$\nState: $SERVICESTATE$\nTime:
$SHORTDATETIME$\nInfo:$SERVICEOUTPUT$" | gammu --sendsms TEXT
$CONTACTEMAIL$ | tee -a /var/nagios/nagios-sms.log
}
As you can see, I use the usual $CONTACTEMAIL$ to store the cell phone
number I want to send the sms to.
Or, as a more general answer to your question:
You can use anything with nagios, that you are able to configure, nagios
only limiting you to have a command on your system that'll pipe the info
to the device.

You could try to use a debug wrapper script, that will log, what nagios
actually executes.
Something close to this should do:
#!/bin/sh
echo `date` >> /tmp/plugin_debugger
echo $* >> /tmp/plugin_debugger
Not sure this will work, please try yourself.
By executing this as the notification command it should log what actually was
executed by nagios.
That way you can see, if nagios fills your macros with the correct information.
Also make sure that you run your shell tests as the nagios user, not as root.

Philipp
