Nobody told my Windows 2003 servers that!
pnsClient.exe works fine on Win 2003. If you're on SP1, disable DEP for
pnsclient.exe.

after researches on Internet, check_nt and ntclient are
compatible only with Windows NT, 2000 and XP but not with

Is there a solution?

Objet : [Nagios-users] check-nt Windows 2003 Server
Hello
I want to view the free space in my servers in Windows 2000
and 2003. I configure the services.cfg file. That functions
with the Windows 2000 servers but that isn't functions with
the Windows 2003 Server.
The error message is : « connexion refusée » (refused connection).
In my checkcommands.cfg file :
# 'check_nt' command definition
define command {
command_name check-nt-disk
command_line $USER1$/check_nt -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -p 1248
-v USEDDISKSPACE -l $ARG1$ -w $ARG2$ -c $ARG3$
}
Why ?
Thank you very much

You will then be able to manage all routers as a single group and your

I find this a rather peculiar target. I would say solving the problem is your target and getting all green accross the board with Nagios is the way to show it. Just getting everything green without solving the problem sounds rather shortsighted to me. Why bother to perform the checks? Just show some greenish static pictures and everyone is happy. I bet you can even reduce staff. For us, the problem is that with over 6,000 services and 5 different teams (Software, Networking, Infrastructure, Unix Administration, and Internal Development) all working with the same monitoring system, having the screens in the NOC showing problems that are already being actively worked on would be horribly annoying. For instance, the Network Team sees an alert about a router being down - before the router goes to Hard Down, though, 4 services get to a Soft Critical. They are on the problem and dealing with it, so they Ack it. The Software Team doesn't need to keep staring at the problem on the projectors at the front of the NOC, so such filtering allows a much more useful front screen. Not to mention, over here, that router is very likely at a client site, and they powered it off (either on accident or just without telling us) and we CAN'T fix it ourselves. And what about Downtime? We have Windows servers that need updates and whatnot - when they're in Downtime and go all-red, the NOC doesn't need to see that crap. And what about hardware failures on a primary server that gets temporarily swapped with an on-site spare? We don't need to see all-red spare servers for a week before they're replaced. Not to mention, our NOC is a show piece when the execs are touring clients around to show them how we watch the services we provide them. Having a bunch of Red/Yellow/Orange up there is no good, if we can help it. When we were 10 people (3 years ago) and worked in a room with no windows, this wasn't necessary (only about 600 or 800 services then, too). Now we're over thirty (closer to forty) people, a partially-glass-walled, tiered NOC and have the aforementioned 6,000+ services (and another thousand or so going in in the next month with more clients coming on board). So, it's all an issue of scale and what the needs of the individual team (or teams) need and want.

Right, but isn't 00:00 the same thing as 24:00?

Re: [Nagios-users] distributed servers - how to tell which one executed a check?
On Tue, 2006-04-11 at 14:21 -0700, Trask wrote: I haven't seen anything in the docs about this... I am hoping to have an indication somewhere of which distributed nagios server executed the last check. A little background into my setup: - 4 nagios servers (all running 2.2 now) - nag1, nag2 and nag3 at each office/colo - nag4 is the central server receiving passive check info and serving as a fallback if one of the other 3 fail (and also importantly, the visual interface to all the checks). These are glued together with some homebrew scripts to ease management of the distributed setup. My goal is to be able to see which of these servers executed the last check. As a stop-gap measure I modified p1.pl to prepend the nagios server's hostname to the plugins output. This is an acceptable solution for the perl scripts, but that doesn't include any of the other (non-perl) plugins. Anyone accomplish this already or have an idea of how to do this? What I do is set $USER32$ to the geographic location (say, UK or DE), then my distributed submit script (via nsca) sends '$USER32$ - $HOSTOUTPUT$' (or '$USER32$ - $SERVICEOUTPUT$') for the output instead of just the output. Works like a charm. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

[Nagios-users] Event broker causing graph gaps?
I've experimented with the cause/effect relationship of the NDO utils running as the event broker, and I can say positively that it is causing my service graphs to have lots of gaps for checks that write metrics to RRD files. I'm honestly at a loss as to why, though. The load hasn't gone up on the nagios server (if anything, it's gone down a bit). The MySQL backend is very comfy (low load, again). All rrd writes are done *within* the plugin (both with an apan wrapper and custom scripts). Yet, the checks appear to be happening (alerts are still going out, etc). Definitely perplexing. Any ideas? signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

[Nagios-users] check_ssh_login ?
I need to check if I can log into a specific account on a system via SSH, but due to the nature of the system (tunneled to a serial console), I am unable to set up a key pair. check_ssh only verifies that the system is answering to SSH requests (which doesn't help me, the serial console host almost certainly responds). check_by_ssh is *close*, but provides no method of passing a password via the command line (which, yes, is a ghetto method of doing things, but you would still have to know the login to the system, and it *is different*), and it requires a remote command to execute. So, before I delve into hacking this functionality into check_by_ssh, does anyone have a solution with existing tools? signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Replace your serial consoles with something like a Cyclades that allows use of public keys. it's an off-site hosted box for a side-project of mine. This isn't enterprise-level stuff (and I can't influence changes directly). I don't think check_by_ssh is going to work since the ssh-serial connection will probably not permit execution of a script and the return of the exit code without a lot of work. Also it has no real interactive support and it should like you need that. that's a good point. I was envisioning it functioning like, as you said below, an expect wrapper or something similar. In the mean time, I'm forcing myself to be satisfied with just checking that I can connect to the SSH server at all. does anyone have a solution with existing tools? An expect wrapper around ssh should do the trick and it can negotiate the login prompt on the serial port as well. I don't want to actually log in, I just want to see that I'm prompted for the username with the correct hostname. So, yeah, I think we're on the same page. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
