Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios 3.2.0 configuration files
The correct syntax is: retry_check_interval To get a sense of what is different and new in Nagios 3.x and the process of upgrading from 2.x, I would read the following official documentation: http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/whatsnew.html http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/upgrading.html#nagios2x That's more than enough to get you started. As for notifications, yes, notifications are not sent on SOFT alerts. James Moseley Sowmya Dass wrote: Hello All, I already have a setup Nagios 2.0b3 on another server. I have newly setup Nagios 3.2.0 on RHEL 4. In the process, I have tried re-using the configuration file.

And I do have a nagios.cfg configuration file, that refers to this as : cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/minimal.cfg Will all the directives as valid in Nagios 2.0b3 hold valid even in Nagios 3.2.0 ? I am bothered about the directive names and the deprecated directives. Also, In the official 3.x document, on page 226, I see that there is a mention of a directive called retry_check_interval. http://support.nagios.com/knowledgebase/officialdocs But contradicting to this, I see at http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/objectdefinitions.html#service which mentions the directive as retry_interval.

In order to check hardware RAID performance on Dell box running Linux, you need to download (from Dell) and install the appropriate perc agent on each system - there are at least three different versions - as well as use the appropriate plugin (basically, all the plugins are the same, just with different MIB OID's).

Re: [Nagios-users] Required RPMs for Nagios 2.5
If you've installed everything, including Nagios, via RPM/yum/up2date, then you should get a warning if upgrading some packages will interfere with Nagios. Assuming you've installed Nagios via RPM/up2date, then you can do: rpm -qa | grep nagios To see what Nagios-related packages you have installed. Then do a: rpm -qR to see what packages Nagios requires. That's actually going to show what libraries and binaries are needed by Nagios, not the actual package names. If you installed Nagios by source, then you'll need to find a Nagios 2.5.x RPM, download it (don't install it)t, and do a: rpm -qpR to find out what it requires. Better yet, go to the package maintainers website and find the spec file that was used to build the RPM to find out what packages are required to install the RPM.

Since this is the first time you've installed Nagios (I assume) and you probably haven't used it much, I wouldn't expect there is too much benefit for you by installing Nagios from source.

Re: [Nagios-users] experience with check_sasraid_megaraid for Dell PERC 4?
First, have you verified that the perc agent is actually running on the remote host? ps -ef | grep perc Furthermore, you're certainly not going to be able to connect to your remote server via SNMP by using the default percsnmpd.conf file. If you are able to connect to your host using the original snmpd.conf file with the added perc statements, then you are fine. Next, are you running SNMP v1 or v2? That's important as you have to provide the correct version to the plugin. Lastly, what happens when you do an snmpwalk from the remote host using the following? snmpwalk -c wiband -v 2c localhost .1.3.6.1.4.1.3582 You should get a bunch of valid, snmp output. If not, try using version 1. If you do get valid output, then SNMP/percSNMP are setup correctly on that host. James Moseley Bo Gusman wrote: Well, if I use the default snmpd.conf, I can connect to the host using snmpwalk locally and from the nagios host, but I can't see anything related to the perc array. It is this configuration that causes the perl substr error when I run check_sasraid_megaraid. Renaming percsnmpd.conf -> snmpd.conf, I can't connect to the host at all either using snmpwalk or the script. Both conf files have a line "pass .1.3.6.1.4.1.3582 /usr/sbin/percmain" as the last line of the file, but I don't understand enough about snmp (reading the docs is giving me a headache! :) to be able to connect the dots.

Doesn't matter if you're not using the plugin within Nagios yet. What matters is if you have all the perl utilities installed. If you haven't already, install the following: yum install nagios-plugins Then rerun the script.

My guess is you have an old version of perl or missing something else... How did you install perl and Nagios/Nagios plugins?

Since you are getting that error, I don't think the firewall is the problem. If it were the firewall, I'd expect a timeout issue.

I use that plugin on a number of Dell servers. First, you've got to make sure the RAID controller is either a MegaRAID or AACRAID controller. More than likely, it's the former. The plugin itself is self explanatory - look at the help output. What you need is to download the Perc SNMP agent from Dell. Ultimately, you'll install the following RPM: percsnmp-4.09-1.i386.rpm which will install the percsnmpd daemon... All you need to do at that point is apply the following line to your /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf file: # Dell MegaRAID data will be exported on port 161 by the main snmpd pass .1.3.6.1.4.1.3582 /usr/sbin/percmain Then fire up the percsnmpd daemon and restart snmpd.

Re: [Nagios-users] Firewall Rules
It would seem obvious, but there are no minimum required firewall rules. You simply need to open a firewall hole for the remote server for every service you plan to monitor by the HQ machine. If you are monitoring the remote host via ICMP and SNMP, then you need to open up those two holes on the remote firewall. If you are using NRPE on the remote host, you'll need to open that as well, etc, etc. By default, most folks monitor their host-alive states using check_ping (ICMP), so at a minimum you'll need to open up ICMP on the remote to allow the HQ box to ping those hosts. This assumes that all outbound traffic is allowed from each host and that your HQ box is behind a firewall that performs stateful inspection (which is helpful for things like DNS, etc) James Moseley "Gabriel - IP Guys" wrote: Dear all, I’ve got my Nagios server up and running, and for some reason, I cannot get the two servers, NagiosHQ, and RemoteServer, to talk to each other.

Re: [Nagios-users] APC UPS Monitoring Setup.
Remember to CC the nagios users' list... From looking at the script, it
doesn't look like there are any options for setting critical/warning
thresholds for temperature, load, etc. It appears they are all predefined.
In that case, the command configuration would look something like:
define command {
command_name check_apcups
command_line $USER1$/check_snmp_apcups -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C $ARG1$
}
The service check configuration would look like:
define service{ use
generic-service host_name apc-smart-ups
service_description APC_STATUS check_command
check_apcups!public
}
Obviously, you would replace 'public' above with whatever SNMP community
string you have setup...
The host group and host defintions you supplied earlier should be fine.
Remember, this script is fairly elementary in that it appears it
predetermines all the critical/warning levels for things like temp, battery
capacity, input/output voltage, etc. So, there's nothing else you need to
do. It will either return an 'OK' value or generate a critical or warning
alert with the simple configuration above. Obviously, you could edit the
script to change any of the thresholds by hardcoding them into the script,
or you could modify it to accept warning/critical threshold limits as
variables.

Re: [Nagios-users] APC UPS Monitoring Setup.
The instructions you are referring to use check_snmp and have nothing to do
with the plugin you are trying to use. I'm not familiar with that plugin,
but you should be able to get all the status you want with a single service
entry. If you'll give me an example of the command line call, I'll give

[Nagios-users] APC UPS Monitoring
Setup.
Hello,
I have been searching for help in setting up SNMP monitoring of an APC
UPS. I found a plug-in called check_snmp_apcups and have been trying to
configure it -- with no success. I am using nagios 3.0.6 and plugins
1.4.13
I placed check_snmp_apcups into the libexec folder and ran it from the
command line. It worked well, giving me UPS information. However, I
cannot figure out what to do to make it work in the web interface.
The latest instructions I found (and followed) were from the wiki:
http://community.nagios.org/wiki/index.php/Howtos:snmp-apc-smart-ups
Now, these instructions refer to the check_snmp command, but this did not
work from the command line for me. It got no response from the UPS. So, I
changed the command to check_snmp_apcups. I added the command definitions
to the command.cfg file and then created a ups.cfg file with the following:
HOST
define host{ use generic-host
host_name apc-smart-ups alias
apc-smart-ups address 192.168.1.10
hostgroups ups }
HOST GROUP
define hostgroup{ hostgoup_name ups
alias ups }
SERVICES
define service{ use
generic-service host_name apc-smart-ups
service_description Environment-Temperature
check_command snmp_ups_envtemp!nagmon }
define service{ use
generic-service host_name apc-smart-ups
service_description Battery-Status
check_command snmp_ups_stat!nagmon }
define service{ use
generic-service host_name apc-smart-ups
service_description Battery-Status
check_command snmp_ups_capa!nagmon }
define service{ use
generic-service host_name apc-smart-ups
service_description Battery-Status
check_command snmp_ups_freq!nagmon }
define service{ use
generic-service host_name apc-smart-ups
service_description Battery-Status
check_command snmp_ups_volt!nagmon }
define service{ use
generic-service host_name apc-smart-ups
service_description Battery-Status
check_command snmp_ups_current!nagmon }
define service{ use
generic-service host_name apc-smart-ups
service_description Battery-Status
check_command snmp_ups_load!nagmon }
I then modified the nagios.cfg file to point to to the ups.cfg file. Next,
I ran the verification command and received a warning of NULL value in the
line that points to my ups.cfg file. I don't know what is wrong with it,
or what I am missing.
Could anyone give me some pointers as to what I am doing wrong?
Thanks.

Re: [Nagios-users] check_snmp memory leak
You could have also just disabled the embedded perl interpreter in the plugin itself. By disabling the embedded perl function, your load and memory usage will certainly be higher. The real question, though, is since you're using Cent OS, why not use the Nagios RPM's available via yum repository? It makes upgrading and keeping track of dependencies a breeze. Not sure what the problem was, but I compiled Nagios 3.0.6 on a RHEL 3 system using the exact options that were found in the RPM spec file. I ended up with a nagios binary that was twice as large as the one that came in the RPM package and the version I compiled myself ran using more memory and processor resources than the RPM version. The difference was probably the compiler flags I was using were not optimized for my (or any RHEL) system. Nine times out of ten, using yum rpm's will ultimately end up yielding better results when factoring in system performce, upgrades, etc - and save tons of time and headaches. That's why you're using RHEL, right? Yes, I still have to make RPM's via compilation of source RPM's when the yum repository version doesn't include the feature's I need. For example, I have to roll my own Postfix because I need mysql support. James Moseley Mark Krenz To 04/12/2009 09:20 nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net AM cc Subject Re: [Nagios-users] check_snmp memory leak Nevermind, figured it out. I just tried recompiling without the --enable-embedded-perl option and that seems to have fixed it. Now the memory usage is staying at just a couple MB.

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios and Cacti
I agree with Daniel's post below. We have Nagios and Cacti running on the
same system; Nagios monitors 691 hosts and 1800 services while Cacti is
pulling stats for about the same number of hosts, but something like 3200
data sources. They run on a dual Xeon 2.8 Ghz box with only 2 Gb or RAM
(no swapping going on). Average load is about 1.5 and peaks at 3 about 3-4
times a day.
The key is that mysql operations are on a dedicated box with 15k SCSI
drives and RAID 10.

400 network devices between switches, routers, WAPs, etc. We also
have about 300 monitored servers. Initially I had Nagios and Cacti
both on one server with Cacti running via cron every 5 minutes. About
every 5 minutes, my shells would become unresponsive for roughly 30
to 90 seconds. Turning off either Nagios or Cacti resolved the issue.
Running both seems to have hammered the server a bit (4Gb of RAM, 2 x
dual core 2.x Ghz CPUs). We don't integrate Cacti and Nagios,
however. Nagios does both trending and alerts of all servers. Cacti
does trending only of all network devices/ports. Once I moved Cacti
to its own server, all was fine as far as load/latency went.

Re: [Nagios-users] radius checks
Fairly busy at the moment, but getting check_radius to work is a bit
tedious. This plugin actually checks to see if it gets a valid response
from the radius daemon against an actual user, not just if the port is
open. So, you've got to setup the clients and users files correctly on the
radius server. You've also got to install a radius client on the nagios
server and configure its conf file as well. The actual check command looks
something like:

[Nagios-users] radius checks
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-

Hi all,
I'm at wits end here trying to figure out how to monitor
radius with
nagios. I have tried multiple plugins, but all to no avail.
I tried the check_radius plugin that ships with
nagios-plugins, but I
kept getting "Auth failed" and no packets were ever sent to my radius
server.
I tried radauth from NagiosExchange (both the original and the
updated
radauth.c) and they failed with error in radius about malformed packets.
I moved on to radius_check_adv and radius_check_ih, both from
NagiosExchange, and they both fail with errors about the secrets not
being correct, though I have checked them multiple times and even tried
configuring them as testing123 and test and nagios and more. radtest
(from freeradius) can authenticate with no problem using the same secrets.
What am I missing? Is there some super-secret config switch I
need to
set or something?

Re: [Nagios-users] check_http question
Unfortunately, that only displays the commands as they are defined in the command configuration file object defintions. You could look at the service commands being run, though. Back to the question, though. Nagios displays what is being returned by the plugin. The plugin, by default, doesn't show the port or URL being monitored in the plugin out. You could run the plugin with a -v option (for verbose). That generates a lot of output. However, I don't know if Nagios will be able to parse the verbose output properly.

For example, for one of my hosts, I had to test for a non-standard port, SSL, a directory structure, and authentication (-I $HOSTNAME -p 8099 -u /dir/dir/dir/file.php -a user:password. All worked in the sense that the test returned an OK status, but I have no visual way of seeing the tested URL within Nagios.

[Nagios-users] check_dhcp oddness
Playing around with check_dhcp (installed via RHEL3 repository - nagios-plugins-1.4.11, check_dhcp v. 1.7), I noticed that by setting a timeout, the check result doesn't return until the timeout limit is reached. If I use no timeout, successful result is received in about 1 second. If I use a timeout of 10, the result takes 10 seconds to return, using 30 takes 30 seconds, etc. This doesn't seem like the correct behavior. Anyone else notice this?

This is more of a function of how your local network is designed. Assuming the primary internet connection is up and indeed working, but for some reason you can't reach your webserver via that connection, your Nagios server must be able to reach the webservers via some alternate IP address. Then you would have two different service checks and make one the parent of the other. That's just one example. Another example is have your Nagios server on two different IP addresses, one IP address from the primary provider and the other from the second provider. You could setup a second check_ping service, for example, to use a the secondary IP as the source address and if your network is setup to allow it, that second check would route out the second connection. Or if you have glabally routable IP addresses and you are connected via each provider using BGP, you could have a source-based ACL on your router for that second IP address to forcing routing of it across the second connection. Of course, you wouldn't have much of a way to control how that traffic comes back. In the case the primary internet connection actually goes down (which should trigger some kind of Nagios alert), hopefully your routers are setup to automatically fail over to the second connection.

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios compatibility
If you're using Redhat, unless there is a specific reason you want to compile from source, just install Nagios vai yum repository: yum install nagios yum install nagios-plugins That will install everything you need to get going. It also installs the /etc/init.d startup script, so you can then run the chkconfig command to 'turn on' the nagios server: chkconfig --level 2345 nagios on Using Redhat RPM's via yum package management also makes upgrades a snap. And if you're using Redhat, CentOS, etc, using yum is one of the major reasons for running such an operating system. Unlike a previous poster who stated that repositories are often stale and do not quickly apply security updates, this is not so for Redhat systems. Their package maintainers often release package updates for software such as Nagios within a few days, if not the same day, the software is released. Security updates are often released the same day. Yes, if you want to install via yum, delete the Nagios directories you installed from source. Might as well delete the user you created as well. To access the web page, make sure you add a valid user/password to the password file as defined in /etc/httpd/conf.d/nagios.cnf (assuming you installed Apache via yum as well). Good luck!

Have you checked your DHCP logs? Do you have enough leases available in the subnet you would expect the Nagios server to be offered an address from? If your DHCP server doesn't hand out DHCP addresses to other machines on that network (the same your Nagios server is on), for the ISC DHCP daemon to even work, you still must define a subnet on that local network in the DHCP config, even if you only have one DHCP address available. This isn't really a Nagios problem, but a problem with check_dhcp. It sounds like the plugin is setup with the appropriate permissions (owned by root, setuid root, etc) and that there are no inbound/outbound firewalls or SELinux issues to deal with.

I have no idea which flavor of DHCP you are running (probably ISC's), but I don't think you are going to be able to run check_dhcp from the DHCP server itself. The DHCP server will see an incoming requeset from itself and probably block it. Therefore, using the nrpe method of doing these checks is a moot point. If your Nagios server is on the same network as the DHCP server, just run check_dhcp from the Nagios box. If you're running Nagios on a different network than the DHCP server and there is a firewall in between, you'll probably have to do several things: 1. Open up a hole in the firewall to allow the Nagios server to request a DHCP address from the DHCP server 2. Have a DHCP relay statement on the router's interface your Nagios server connects to so it knows to which server to relay the DHCP request to 3. Setup a small DHCP subnet on the DHCP server in the same IP range as the Nagios server so it can offer a valid IP address There are probably other methods as well.

Re: [Nagios-users] Not sending alerts
That certainly seems to be a valid configuration. Have you included all
your configs in the main nagios.cfg file so that they are all being read?
Barring that, do you have any service/host depencies setup? What about
escalations?
If you have any dependency or escalation configs, I would disable them
first before doing any more troubleshooting.

[Nagios-users] Not sending alerts
Hello,
We seem to be having an issue with our alert notifications. From what I've
determined the command 'notify-by-email' isn't even being called from
commands.cfg. I verified this by:
1)replacing the current command with a simple echo "test" > /tmp/test.
2)leaving the mail command in and checking my postfix log - which shows no
attempts being made at all.
I also don't see anything about sending alerts in my nagios.log/syslog

Re: [Nagios-users] Changing diskspace available from kilobytes to megabytes
The disk space units have nothing to do with Nagios, but with the output of the particular plugin you are using. The plugin 'check_disk', which comes with the Nagios Plugins package, by default displays data in megabytes, but you change the units with the proper argument. It appears that plugin only works with locally mounted filesytems. There is another plugin called 'check_snmp_storage.pl' which allows you to check diskspace of remote systems via SNMP. It's units are in megabytes only. You could change this by editing the perl script, of course. So, it all depends on the plugin you are using and whether or not the disk space units are configurable. I would suggest searching Google. ;-) James Moseley "Kaplan, Andrew H." 01/12/2009 07:15 cc PM Subject [Nagios-users] Changing diskspace available from kilobytes to megabytes Hi there -- We currently have several Nagios 2.6, and will eventually deploy version 3.0.6 servers running on our network.

Re: [Nagios-users] Change Nagios email 'from' field
You'll need to edit the command definition of 'notify-by-email', etc. The default mail program used by Nagios, /bin/mail, does not allow one to set a from address, nor do I believe there is an option to do so in a .mailrc file, either. In that case, you'd want to use sendmail, something like: /usr/lib/sendmail -t -f "supp...@xyz.com" There are probably 100 different ways to accomplish what you want, so perhaps folks have some other examples.

Re: [Nagios-users] Elevated alerts
Grant, you've got me really confused now. For starters, I would strongly
encourage you to go back and read the documentation on object defitions.
It may be that by default notifications are enabled and that notification
options are also set to something as default.
With that said, since it appears the service definition below doesn't
contain a reference to a global service template, I don't see where you
have told the 'check remote zombie processes' service who to send alerts
to. You either need a contacts or contacts_group argument to define who
the service should send alerts to, something like:
contactsglowe1
How are your other service definitions setup? If somehow email is working
for the 'email' contact, but not for the 'paging' contact, then the contact
macro you have set up as definied by the contact-by-pager definition is
most likely the culprit. You're going to have to start with a known
working contact macro and edit it until you get it working. Start by
sending both critical and warning alerts to the working contact., then
create new contacts with different alert options making sure you add those
contacts to the contacts definition of the service definition.
Lastly, have you verified your config?
nagios -v ///nagios.cfg
This will tell you if your config is generally OK.

Re: [Nagios-users] Elevated alerts
James,
I thought I was trying to make this config as simple as possible. I'm only
monitoring five UNIX boxes right now. Hopefully going to expand that soon
with Nagios :->
The hosts I'm monitoring didn't have any notification options, but they do
now. All six. This is what I have for the zombie processes:
define service{
host_name blarney,frogmore,katz,dunvegan,redfort
hostgroup_name solaris-servers
service_description Check Remote Zombie Processes
check_command check_nrpe!check_zombie_procs
max_check_attempts 5
notification_interval 60
check_period24x7
notification_optionsw,u,c,r,f,s
}
I don't have services disabled or enabled right now in any of the related
service definitions (like the one above). Do I need to explicitly turn
them on? I thought they were already on, considering I'm getting
notifications already through email. Please advise. Thanks.

Re: [Nagios-users] check_ping stuck on 'PENDING'
I checked the object defintion documentation before replying and didn't find any such reference that you could exclude hosts out of host or service group definitions by using a 'bang' symbol. I thought a bang (!) was used only to separate arguments in check_commands. Even if this feature is legitimate, why make the configuration more complex? Get rid of the host groups in the service definitions and include only those hosts you want checked. Basically, make the configuration as simple as possible to find and fix the problem with the host that has a service check stuck in pending. Then add back in the more complex configuration options (like service dependencies) one at a time. My $.02.

Re: [Nagios-users] check_ping stuck on 'PENDING'
First, what's with the '!' preceding many of your hosts names? Second, in
your service and service dependency configs, why are you defining both
hosts and hostgroups? For example:
define service{
hostgroup_nameNmw_Servers,Wi_Servers
host_name
!Nmw_104_010_Finearts_Dataserver,!Nmw_104_020_Nagios,Dgh_000_012_FairUse,Art
_104_014_FilmServer,!Nmw_104_092_Nagios3
service_descriptionCheck CPU Load
usemedium-high-priority-service
check_command check_nrpe!check_load
}
I'd start with removing the host_name portion of the config and including
'Dgh_Servers' in the hostgroup_name stanza. Otherwise, you've got a lot of
overkill...
Lastly, get rid of the service dependencies until you have this sorted out
and working.

You've got it backwards below. In the original email, you wanted only
warnings to go to email and warnings and critical alerts to go the 'pager'

Hi James,
I think I understand it a little bit better. As far as numerical users, do
you mean when a page is sent to a paging service, somehow, the user name is
converted to, a numerical user that the paging service uses? That makes
sense I guess because you have to have a phone number to call for the page.
As far as the notification tags, do these look correct, with what I'm
trying to do?

In the 'paging' config, gid rid of the following lines:
host_notification_commandsnotify-host-by-pager
service_notification_commands notify-service-by-pager
# Added pager line 01/09/2009
pagergl...@pager.company.com
Then change the service notifications to: c,u,r,f,s
The way you have it now, the paging contact will not get critical alerts.
If your paging email address has a text username (glowe), you need to use
the notify-by-email arguments. If the user is numerical, then yes, you can
use the notify-by-pager commands. I mentioned this in my last email. I've
never researched it, for I've found that if I have a non-numerical user in
an email address and I use the notify-by-pager default CONTACTPAGER macro,
the notification is not sent.

Re: [Nagios-users] Elevated alerts
If the email address begins with a number, then use $CONTACTPAGER$ string. I don't know exactly where those variables are defined, but when sending email to an address that begins with a number (or perhaps contains an all-numeric string before the @), I've found that the notification is not sent if using a command definition that uses CONTACTEMAIL. In the contacts config, use command definitions that have CONTACTEMAIL when emailing a 'normal' email address. Use CONTACTPAGER when emailing a phone or pager email address where the user string is numeric. I'm sure the difference is explained in the documentation or mailling list archives.

Re: [Nagios-users] Elevated alerts
You wouldn't need to modify the notify-by-pager command you already have
setup. After all, you are still sending mail to an email address. I don't
know why your command definitions have @mail_p...@. That must be defined
someplace else in another config file if it's working. If that command
isn't working, simply replace that variable string with /bin/mail.

Re: [Nagios-users] Elevated alerts
Thank you for the response. I like your idea. I think I need to embellish
it some. A couple of questions about it.
In our environment, I think I only have to make one change. Here's what
currently happens. A regular email goes to u...@company.com, but pages go
to u...@pager.company.com. So I thought I would setup the paging like this
(at least for starters):
The notify-by-email works just fine. Don't want to mess with this one.
# 'notify-by-email' command definition
define command{
command_namenotify-by-email
command_line/usr/bin/printf "%b" "* Nagios @VERSION@
*\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\n\nService:
$SERVICEDESC$\nHost: $HOSTALIAS$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nState:
$SERVICESTATE$\n\nDate/Time: $LONGDATETIME$\n\nAdditional
Info:\n\n$SERVICEOUTPUT$" | @MAIL_PROG@ -s "** $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ alert -
$HOSTALIAS$/$SERVICEDESC$ is $SERVICESTATE$ **" $CONTACTEMAIL$
}
Here's a notfiy-by-pager that I would like to use. Just a clone of the
notify-by-email, but modified for pages.
# 'notify-by-pager' command definition
define command{
command_namenotify-by-pager
command_line/usr/bin/printf "%b" "* Nagios @VERSION@
*\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\n\nService:
$SERVICEDESC$\nHost: $HOSTALIAS$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nState:
$SERVICESTATE$\n\nDate/Time: $LONGDATETIME$\n\nAdditional
Info:\n\n$SERVICEOUTPUT$" | @MAIL_PROG@ -s "** $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ alert
- $HOSTALIAS$/$SERVICEDESC$ is $SERVICESTATE$ **" $CONTACTEMAIL$
}
How would I modify notify-by-pager to send to the "u...@pager.company.com"
we use? I'm
asking because I only see @MAIL_PROG@, no /bin/mail anywhere, like in
the notify-host-by-email and notify-service-by-email definitions. I think
I would then use the two different contacts for the same person as you said
in your email.
Does this sound like reasonable?

Thanks!
The easiest thing to do is just to send all alerts to both an email and
pager/phone. If you want to send warnings to just email addresses, and
then send critical alerts to both the email and pager address for a
particular contact, then one way to do that would be to create two contacts
for the same person. In the first contact (for warnings) entry, you'd have
something like:
service_notification_optionsw,u,,r
host_notification_options d,u,r
service_notification_commands notify-by-email
host_notification_commands host-notify-by-email
In the *critical* contact entry, you'd have:
service_notification_optionsu,c,r
host_notification_options d,u,r
service_notification_commands notify-by-epager
host_notification_commands host-notify-by-epager

In the above example, when a service goes to warning state, the contact would be sent an email only. When the service goes to critical, the contact would get both an email and a pager/phone alert. In the above scenario, the contact would get duplicate emails for unreachable and recovery states, so you may want to adjust that to your needs. -- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.

Re: [Nagios-users] Return code of 141 is out of bounds - SMTP Monitor
First, the syntax of the check_command should be:
check_smtp!25!60
And for that to work, the entry in your checkcommands.cfg would look like:
# 'check_smtp' command definition
define command{
command_namecheck_smtp
command_line$USER1$/check_smtp -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -p $ARG1$ -t

Re: [Nagios-users] Setting up NRPE on HP UX
Good documentation can be found at: http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/nrpe/NRPE.pdf Basically, you have to install NRPE on the host you want monitored *and* any plugins that NRPE daemon on that host will call. If you want to monitor things specific to HP UX, then you'll have to write custom plugins. You will also have to configure nrpe.cfg on the monitored host in order to define check commands, which Nagios hosts(s) are allowed to talk to the NRPE daemon, etc. Then you have to install the check_nrpe plugin on the Nagios host doing the monitoring. Next, in the services config on the Nagios host, you have to define that you are checking a particular service via NRPE. For example: check_command check_nrpe!!check_nagios That tells Nagios that you want to check host 'host.abc.com' via NRPE and that the NRPE daemon on remote host.abc.com should call the check_nagios plugin (in order to see if Nagios is running on the remote host).

Re: [Nagios-users] icons not displaying on Nagios 3.0.6 status map
FYI, compiled Nagios 3.0.6 from source against the GD libraries that are available via the RHEL5/CentOS 5 repository. This is GD releaes 2.0.33. I still have the same problem with images being displayed on the status map. Wondering if this is a problem with GD packages, I complied GD 2.0.35 from source and then recompiled Nagios against the new GD 2.0.35 libraries. Still no dice.

The odd thing is that the status map function in the 2.9 Nagios package produced by the same repository maintainer worked just fine with the current installed GD library, which is 2.0.33. That GD library was not upgraded prior to the Nagios upgrade. If no one else has seen this same problem, then I'll contact the repository maintainer. FYI, this is on a CentOS 5 system using the nagios-3.0.6-1.el5.rf DAG Apt rpm.
