[Nagios-users] Hostgroups, make them less cluttered?
Heya Is there a way to make for example the hostgroups as only a topic? I am monitoring about 100 severs and all those servers are grouped by different hostgroups , since all the servers belongs to different companies. When you get this high in numbers i feel that the hostgroup usage becomes very cluttered, and im wondering if you can only show the name of the hostgroup, and then if you click on it, you get into the servers, APs or routers. As it is now, i get the topic of the servers and then all server directly on the hostgroup page, and that is about 100 servers and about 70 hostgroups :) so the hostgroup page is both slow and very cluttered...

[Nagios-users] NSCA hangs?
Heya guys, i once more need your help :) It seems that my NSCA works absolutely perfect for 2-3 days, with 17 hosts monitored, all sending Passive checks on a 10 second intervall. (The problem may be here, I just want a second opinion) Anyway, it works really good for about 2-3 days but then it appears to shut down. This is the errormsg i get at the NSclient++: 2010-12-12 13:54:44: error:modules\NSCAAgent\NSCAThread.cpp:275: Could not connect to: (keeping IP a secret) 10060: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond.

Right, pnp4nagioS seems slicker.
However, after i've installed it, i got this error , did you get that also? If
so, how did you work around it? :

think you’d be better served to go with pnp4nagios. It’s what the “official”

Re: [Nagios-users] Alert host down with passive check
Thanks for the fast answer.
Freshenss seems to do the tric, to a point anyway.
I can see if the host services dies now, just like an active check as its down.
However it doesn't report correctly on the host status.
Since freshness last resport option is to ping the host IP adress, and if the
server goes down and are behind a firewall, the ping will just go to that
gateway. Is there any way to fake nagios to thinking that the host is down if
some service goes down?

[Nagios-users] Monitor disk via NSCA
Hey all!
I want to thank you all for the lovely help i got in my previous errand. It was
NSCA that was missconfigured on one line, or more imporatly, one complete line
was gone :) Now the NSCA passive checks work flawlessly, almost anyway.
I can monitor CPU, memory and services, the only thing im getting problems with
is hard-drive monitoring.
These are the commands I've chosen, but the disk command doesn't write
anything out in nagios. Down below are a sample from nagios .cfg file also.
From what i've read is that nagios treats the passive checks just as a normal
queue as from a active check, so i believe i need a service for every host, as
I would for a active check?
Any idea what ive done wrong on the harddrive config?

And i've checked in the /usr/local/nagios/var/log/nagios.log and the /var/log/syslog.log files and they come up blank.

yes, i use xinetd

Hi Rikard,
is your nsca daemon running (on your nagios host?). You can check the
process list via 'ps aux | grep nsca'. Furthermore you should try to
connect to port 5667 (from localhost and/or your windows server):
telnet localhost 5667. If you get connected you should verify your
network setup (Firewalls? Do you use (x)inetd? If so, is the option
'allow_only' configured?) ...
