Re: [Nagios-users] Host/Ping check and Nagios performance.
check_ping is a pig :) It's okay for services since they can run in parallel but host checks are serialized which can b0rk your whole system if many hosts go down at the same time. A faster way to do this is to use check_icmp, which does 5 pings at the same time (concurrently) as opposed to 5 in a row (consecutive) like check_ping does. An even faster check is using check_host as a symlink to check_icmp, which still sends the 5 concurrent pings but only requires one to be okay, which is great for hostchecks IMHO. There is a slight security hit using check_icmp or check_host as you must SetUID it. Read the docs, this is all from memory but should be correct, hope this helps! Here is an example: ### bash-3.1# time ./check_ping -H 192.168.22.1 -w 100.0,20% -c 500.0,60%, 100 PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 0.31 ms real0m4.009s user0m0.000s sys 0m0.000s ### bash-3.1# time ./check_icmp -H 192.168.22.1 -w 100.0,20% -c 500.0,60%, 100 OK - 192.168.22.1: rta 0.225ms, lost 0%|rta=0.225ms; 100.000;500.000;0; pl=0%;20;100;; real0m0.004s user0m0.000s sys 0m0.004s ### bash-3.1# time ./check_host -H 192.168.22.1 -w 100.0,20% -c 500.0,60%, 100 OK - 192.168.22.1 responds to ICMP.

Re: [Nagios-users] Restart nagios process in openbsd
The command /usr/local/bin/nagios -v /usr/local/etc/nagios/ nagios.cfg will not start another nagios process, it will however check your configuration and either tell you that your configuration is okay, or it will try to tell you what is wrong.

Re: [Nagios-users] $HOSTSTATE$ remains as Down?
Looks like I may have misstated my problem, apparently I was simply
not receiving the HOST UP email thanks to my fat fingers mucking up
the hosts.cfg
What is happening is that I am seeing a DOWN notification every
minute, this is why I thought I was getting the wrong alert. I've got
a v2.7 box up and running quite nicely and I've compared the configs
and do not see any differences. Obviously I am missing something

minute?

Re: [Nagios-users] $HOSTSTATE$ remains as Down?

So host caching and parallelization(is this a word?), I'm assuming this is in the main config file. What directives should I be looking at? For what it's worth the service checks are working just fine... -wil On May 22, 2007, at 8:32 PM, Thomas Guyot-Sionnest wrote: On 22/05/07 01:02 PM, Wil Schultz wrote: Looks like I may have misstated my problem, apparently I was simply not receiving the HOST UP email thanks to my fat fingers mucking up the hosts.cfg What is happening is that I am seeing a DOWN notification every minute, this is why I thought I was getting the wrong alert. I've got a v2.7 box up and running quite nicely and I've compared the configs and do not see any differences. Obviously I am missing something here, any suggestions why DOWN notifications are being sent every minute? Are you sure the host check is functioning properly? (try running the command defined in commands.cfg manually; you will have to manually expand the macros.) Could you send a relevant part of the history for that host? Also, looks like you're running regularly scheduled checks. Is that what really you want? Nagios 3 support running host checks in parallel and host state caching, but in Nagios 2 you will likely not benefit from running regularly scheduled host check and their serialized nature can easily cause service latency issues.
