[Nagios-users] Old state information randomly appearing
I have 2 hosts and 4 services that I added Friday to my nagios configuration. They were misconfigured (wrong IP addresses), and rightly sent out notifications. I disabled notifications and active checks via the web interface while I was diagnosing the problem. I fixed the problems (the IP addresses) and reenabled the checks and notifications. Now, every once in a while (roughly once per minute), the old data appears on the tac.cgi, status.cgi, and extinfo.cgi pages. They will show as down/critical, and will have the icons for disabled notifications and disabled active checks. Then, moments later, they will show normal (OK state, with no icons for disabled notifications/checks). I have tried purging the bad data from the log files, retention.dat, etc. while the Nagios daemon was stopped, but the bad data still shows. Is this a bug, or is there something I can do to flush this old data? - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Still grepping through log files to find problems? Stop.

Re: [Nagios-users] Old state information randomly appearing
Actually, the timing is a bit different than what I described below. Refreshing once per second, I was able to determining that the correct state shows for 5 seconds, then the incorrect state shows for 10 seconds, then the process repeats.

[Nagios-users] Retaining history on upgrade
I am currently running version 1.2 of Nagios, and I am setting up a new server as a replacement. I will be putting the most recent version on the new server (2.7). Is it possible to transfer the log directory contents to the new server and use them with version 2.7? - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

[Nagios-users] Template inheritance questions
I have a couple of questions about inheritance:1. Is it possible to inhetit from more than one template?define service{ ... use ping-service-template use dev-group}
2. is it possible to append to, rather than override, a parameter? For example, is there a way to make the example below result in contact_groups equalling db-admins and server-admins?define host{ contact_groups db-admins
name db-host-template register 0}define host{ ... contact_groups server-admins use db-host-template}Thanks for your help.Shawn K.

[Nagios-users] Host template and inherited settings
I have a host template that assigns the host to a particular hostgroup. i.e.define host{ nameexample-host-template hostgroups example-servers
usehost-template register 0}but I want to assign additional hostgroups to some servers, i.e.define host{
host_name webhost
hostgroups web-servers
useexample-host-template ...}
want this host to be a member of example-servers and web-servers. Is this possible to do using templates?
Re: [Nagios-users] Re: nsclient++ configuration, i am lost
If you define it in the NSC.ini file, then you don't need to pass the arguements from check_nrpe.Using the handler set in the the NSC.ini file, try this:From the client machine: nsclient++ /testcheck_exchangeDB From the Nagios Server:../libexec/check_nrpe -H catorsv03 -c check_exchangeDBAlso, about the bind error you are getting: Are you getting that when you run test? If so, that just means that nsclient is already running, and the test instance can't connect to the same port. It is OK unless you get that when you run nsclient /start. On 4/24/06, ThomasC.

Re: [Nagios-users] nsclient++ configuration, i am lost
What error message are you getting?Have you tried the check from the command line on the host?run nsclient++ /test and try a few commandsHave you tried the check from the command line on the Nagios server?
run the check_nrpe line replacing all the arguements with their actual valuesIn the NSC.ini file, have you:uncommented the appropriate modules?set the allowed hosts line?Allowed arguements?restart the nsclient++ process after making these changes

Re: [Nagios-users] Not able ot view hosts/services in the Trends.cgi link
I was just recently having a very similar problem. When I loaded the statusmap, I was getting an internal server error. Examining the Apache logs showed that the cgi was trying to access an image library that wasn't there (I had upgraded from RHEL3 to RHEL4). Most everything else was ok. I upgraded to a newer version of Nagios ( 2.0 to 2.2) in an RPM that was compiled for RHEL4 (Thanks, DAG.) and everything works fine now.On 4/11/06, Marc Powell [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:Please post an 'ls -al' of the following directories -- /usr/local/nagios/usr/local/nagios/etc/usr/local/nagios/varAlso post your apache config parts related to nagios.Thanks,marc -Original Message- From: satish kumar [mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, April 10, 2006 10:59 PM To: satish kumar; Marc Powell; nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: RE: [Nagios-users] Not able ot view hosts/services in the Trends.cgi link Hi All, I am still finding the problem and is it related to any rpms missing (gd, libpng,libjpeg etc..).Please help me in this issue.
