2006-09-24 Thread Richard Galvez
I went to the sourceforge website, but I cannot find the nsca source.
Any one know what is going on?

[Nagios-users] alert options

2006-09-17 Thread Richard Galvez
Hello again everyone, I was hoping that someone out there knew of a way
to set up alerts in the following fashion: 

if hard state change: page-by-epager

if critical state, and persists for more than 10 minutes: email.

Is this possible?

Regards,
Richard

Re: [Nagios-users] SSH, FTP flutter

2006-09-17 Thread Richard Galvez
To elaborate on the issue and update my current progress:

I enabled flap detection and now get a threshold parameter for every
host, as well as a percentage that I read about in the doc. My issue is
however, that I need to set up the flap detection for the "service" not
for the host. Any ideas?

Re: [Nagios-users] NRPE vs NCSA

2006-09-16 Thread Richard Galvez
I agree, you should plan for expansion with nagios. No sense in limiting
yourself with nrpe when you can just engineer for growth with nsca. I'm
implementing the same configuration now, with nsca and I would like to
point you to a document on the nagios website in the docs section.
Someone wrote a very good howto to setup nsca.

Richard

[Nagios-users] SSH, FTP flutter

2006-09-16 Thread Richard Galvez
Hello everyone,

I have a problem with the sensitivity of the check_ssh and check_ftp
services in my Nagios monitoring. I have a medium sized network of 100+
servers all running ssh and ftp (with the exception of some) and the
service seems to come in and out, in particular with the ssh service
check. I know the problem, it's just that I have scan attacks regularly
on my network (no one gets in though) but I would like to suppress these
alerts as they don't pose an actual problem, just a scan attack. In
particular, the ssh service returns the string "server answer: " when
someone is scanning it, and I would like a way of just making that take
it to warning level rather than critical.

Any ideas? I need to stop this flutter, I get alerted regularly..

Regards,
Richard

[Nagios-users] check_http on image

2006-09-10 Thread Richard Galvez
Hello again everyone,

On a few servers I'm running tux web servers that only serve images
(speeds up the process dramatically), and I'm trying to check this with
nagios. I essentially need to do a check_http -H
somedomain.com/someimage.jpg -w # -c ##  I try doing this in nagios
and I get a 'HTTP WARNING: HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request' warning. If i check
the url in firefox I see the image I expected to see. Any ideas?

Re: [Nagios-users] libMYSQL

2006-09-03 Thread Richard Galvez
In that case, I would use pkgsrc to install the mysql libs that are
needed. That should attempt to resolve any dependencies that you have to
fulfill in order to compile nagios*. From the looks of your issue, I
would say that the most probable case is missing developer libraries
that you may not have installed on your system.

Richard

Hello Jean,

Yes I installed in debian as well, and there is a Readme.DEBIAN

that must me implemented in order for the cgi's (web interface) to work.
I believe, but am not completely sure that the file is

Re: [Nagios-users] defining domain for check_http for each host

2006-09-03 Thread Richard Galvez
Yeah, I follow you, but the issue is that I'm the user, and I care for
the websites that I know are consistent with each machine. If that site
goes down, then so did the machine.. That's my reason behind it. Thanks
for your help though, all of you, I don't want to seem as if I'm not
appreciative. I was thinking, however, in the address of the host
definition I just add the domain (www.yahoo.com) that path should
resolve to the same machine every time. I'm not sure if this is still
the solution I seek. The solution I really am seeking is to add another
variable to the host definition. That would be completely, absolutely,
ideal. It will also allow me to add other information to the hosts in
the future. Any ideas as to how to add custom directives to the host
definition block?

Right, I understand that, but the issue is that I would have to define a
check_http then for every host. I have over 100 hosts, and I would like
to just set it in the host definition for quicker, more logical

Re: [Nagios-users] defining domain for check_http for each host

2006-09-02 Thread Richard Galvez
Great, I'm glad to know I was relatively close to the correct path. Now
the question though is syntax. Wouldn't nagios complain if I put a
"domain_check www.yahoo.com" in the host definition? And then, how would
I summon the variable "domain_check?" As $DOMAINCHECK$ ?

[Nagios-users] defining domain for check_http for each host

2006-09-02 Thread Richard Galvez
Hi,

I am trying to setup a domain for each host that I want check_http to
check. In other words, for host colo1.colo.com I want check_http to
check www.yahoo.com (as if yahoo.com was hosted on colo1.colo.com). The
idea I had to this was the following:

Add a directive in the host definition block for each host for a domain
such as "domain_check" and then pass this variable in the definition for
check_http, such as $PATH$/check_http -H $DOMAINCHECK$ -w...

Is something like this possible? Or can anyone else suggest an easier or
more effective solution? I considered changing the address of each host
to that domain, but I considered this is an inelegant and flawed method.

Thanks,
Richard

[Nagios-users] check_http, not default

2006-09-01 Thread Richard Galvez
Hello, for a particular machine, I would like to check_http not for the
default host name, but a website on that machine. How can I alter the
check_http command so not check the default?

Re: [Nagios-users] unique computers in a hostgroup

2006-08-31 Thread Richard Galvez
Ok the only work around that I have considered to this issue is to make
different "special" groups. 1 would have 1 group for all of cabinet1 and
then special groups with the same computers for particular checks say
like "webservers" and "webservers mysql databases" and things like
that.. Yet only in the special groupings have the service check
definitions. Then I would look to see if when I click on hostgroup cab1
in the cgis if I get the computers with the right services.. Will try
this tomorrow, post back on the list with results.

[Nagios-users] unique computers in a hostgroup

2006-08-31 Thread Richard Galvez
Hello, I'm new to the list and had a rather quick question.

I have nagios2 installed on a debian testing system, and it's monitoring
a hostgroup for each cabinet I monitor (currently have only one cabinet
of 42 U's setup). I have three service checks set up for this group
(cabinet1) which are http, ftp, and disk space. The problem comes up
with a few machines (3) that do not have ftp set up, so nagios is
constantly returning a critical error. I need to make exceptions in this
group for those systems.. and when I start adding things like mysql
checks, and custom plugins, I need to make some systems that don't have
mysql and such things on them.

Is this possible?
