Re: [Nagios-users] Need help
Been using nagios since 1.0, and I think the methodology has shifted a
little, but I am still old skool.
I finally got Nagios working and into the web panel.
Excellent! :-)
Now, how on earth do I ADD new services to monitor???
In your nagios implementation there should be a series of config files
underneath the etc directory.
In there will be something called nagios.cfg.
There will be a bunch of config files specified thus:
cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/contactgroups.cfg
cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/contacts.cfg
cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/dependencies.cfg
cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/escalations.cfg
cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/hostgroups.cfg
cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/hosts.cfg
cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/services.cfg
cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/timeperiods.cfg
These files are what you use to configure nagios.
In the hosts file you can specify a host like this:
# 'SydInt01' host definition
define host{
use generic-host; Name of host
template to use
host_name SydInt01
alias SydB2
address 172.30.20.244
check_command check-host-alive
max_check_attempts 10
notification_interval 480
notification_period 24x7
notification_optionsd,u,r
contact_groups npsadmins
Once the host is defined, you specify the services in the services.cfg. For
example:
define service{
use generic-service ; Name of
service template to use
host_name SydInt01
service_description PING
is_volatile 0
check_period24x7
max_check_attempts 11
normal_check_interval 5
retry_check_interval1
contact_groups fw
notification_interval 120
notification_period 24x7
notification_optionsc,r
check_command check_ping!1000.0,20%!5000.0,100%
}
I hope this helps some.
Let me know if you have any more questions.

[Nagios-users] Is it possible to nest check_by_ssh commands?
I have a nagios server monitoring a unix server and use check_by_ssh to get results. It works great. I have recently added a second NIC to this server to allow it to see a few boxes in a small isolated network. The nagios server can't see these boxes directly and I was thinking that I might be able to nest check_by_ssh to run some checks on things like disk and cpu. From the unix server I can run the following on a command line and get an appropriate response. check_by_ssh -t 20 -H 192.168.166.2 -C /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_disk -w 10% -c 7% -p / If I try to encapsulate that into a nested check_by_ssh I get the following: check_by_ssh -t 40 -H 172.30.30.216 -C /usr/local/nagios/check_by_ssh -t 20 \ -H 192.168.166.5 -C /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_disk -w 10% -c 7% -p / check_by_ssh: invalid option -- w check_by_ssh: Unknown argument - (null) Is this possible to do? Or do I need to write some scripts to encapsulate the check_by_ssh command instead? TIA Nemir _ Advertisement: Your Future Starts Here. Dream it? Then be it!

Re: [Nagios-users] problems with check_traffic plugin displaying images
Has anybody able to get this plugins working, ie: be able to view the graphs of the monitored device bandwidth? It works just fine except I can not display the graphs I get error is the apache log That sounds like Nagios is very happy. In the apache log, I have lines with this : Premature end script header ... This is a classic apache problem. The Premature end of script headers error message is probably the most loathed and common error message you'll find. What the error actually means, is that the script stopped for whatever reason before it returned any output to the web server. A common cause of this for script writers is to fail to set a content type before printing output code. What do the apache logs say? What does the source code of the page say?

Re: [Nagios-users] Monitoring disk state on Dell servers withNetware
Hi, yes, we check free disk space with check_nwstat. But I'm looking for a scpecial dell openmanage solution to check the hardware disk state. If you want that level of information you will need to implement SNMP and either hope that there's a MIB available for the disks you've got or perhaps write one yourself. It isn't as hard as it sounds. :-) - Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?

[Nagios-users] trouble installing plugins --with-openssl under ubuntu 5.10
I am having trouble compiling nagios-plugins 1.4.1 on an ubuntu 5.10 server. THe advice I have read in previous threads says to install openssl. I am new to apt-get, but it wasn't too hard. Output from apt-get install openssl is: # apt-get install openssl Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done openssl is already the newest version. 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 2 not upgraded. # which openssl /usr/bin/openssl Whne I do a ./configure --with-openssl=/usr/bin I get the following summary. config.status: creating po/Makefile --with-ping6-command: /bin/ping6 -n -U -w %d -c %d %s --with-ping-command: /bin/ping -n -U -w %d -c %d %s --with-lwres: no --with-ipv6: yes --with-mysql: no --with-openssl: no --with-gnutls: no --enable-emulate-getaddrinfo: no --with-perl: /usr/bin/perl --with-cgiurl: /nagios/cgi-bin --with-nagios-user: nagios --with-nagios-group: nagios --with-trusted-path: /bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin Going through the ./configure output I notice: checking openssl/ssl.h usability... no checking openssl/ssl.h presence... no checking for openssl/ssl.h... no checking openssl/x509.h usability... no checking openssl/x509.h presence... no checking for openssl/x509.h... no checking openssl/rsa.h usability... no checking openssl/rsa.h presence... no checking for openssl/rsa.h... no checking openssl/pem.h usability... no checking openssl/pem.h presence... no checking for openssl/pem.h... no checking openssl/crypto.h usability... no checking openssl/crypto.h presence... no checking for openssl/crypto.h... no checking openssl/err.h usability... no checking openssl/err.h presence... no checking for openssl/err.h... no checking ssl.h usability... no checking ssl.h presence... no checking for ssl.h... no checking the config.log file I also notice: configure:27062: checking openssl/ssl.h usability configure:27074: gcc -c -g -O2 conftest.c 5 conftest.c:72:25: error: openssl/ssl.h: No such file or directory configure:27080: $? = 1 configure: failed program was: | /* confdefs.h. */ This is despite me having openssl installed as the notes suggest. None of those files it is searching for seem to exist on my box (with the exception of crypto.h, but that was hardly a surprise). What am I missing? I tried running apt-get install openssl-dev[el], but it doesn't seem to exist under that name here. I am sure this is just something basic that I am not seeing at the moment, but would really appreciate all hints and help available. TIA Nemir --- Using Tomcat but need to do more?

RE: [Nagios-users] how to monitor CPU load in percentage utilization
Hi there. I have the requirement of monitoring CPU load in terms of percentage utilization instead of the 1,5,15 mins average.Please forward me a plugin if already developed by anyone in the list. Nagios Exchange has many great plugins written by third parties. You can find a check_cpu plugin that meets your requirements. http://www.nagiosexchange.org/Linux.55.0.html?tx_netnagext_pi1[p_view]=238 Thanks, Satish HTH. :-) Nemir --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

RE: [Nagios-users] Down when it is up
Nagios (Ver. 1.2) was just installed to monitor a VPN with 600 ATMs. The problem we have is that some of the ATMs are shown as down but when pinged the are really up. This happens in the ATMs that for any reason, are working with the dial-up lines. Reading the documentation it seems to me that the problem is the configuration. Is there anything we can check? There are a few things. Log into the nagios server as the nagios user and run the command manually. That is often a good indicator of exactly what is happening. It might also be that the topology you describe doesn't always return results of the check to the server within the default 10 seconds. You might want to increase that to 20 seconds (or even more). I am sure there is more that others could add. If this doesn't help it might pay to post the exact command you're running and the output you see, as well as the error on the nagios system, and perhaps othere (relevent) parts of your nagios configs. regards, Nemir --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
