Re: [Nagios-users] nsca old server with new nsca client
Albert, The packet size was increased in 2.9 that caused 2.9 clients to fail with older servers and 2.9 servers to fail with older clients. A fix was implemented in the server in 2.9.1 that would allow older clients to connect to it, but 2.9 and newer clients will not be able to talk to older servers because they still use the larger packet size. The reason the fix is in the server is because there are far fewer servers than clients, meaning less things to replace in order to get things working. If you update your server, your older clients should be able to connect. Hope that helps.

Freshness checks or active checks perhaps? Do you have multiple

config and one with the new? They'd both write to the same status

[Nagios-users] NSCA - Status is changing after 10 seconds to OK
Hi all,
I am trying to configure nagios with NSCA.
NSCA is successfully receiving the messages (sent with send_nsca), updates
the services state and the message info.
The problem is that after 10 seconds, the service is returning to OK
state; in the meantime I haven't send any other messages.
How can I make the service keep that last state until it receives a new
message?
The definition of the services I am using follows:
define service{
use generic-service
namepassive-service
active_checks_enabled 0
passive_checks_enabled 1
register0
is_volatile 0
check_period24x7

Re: [Nagios-users] NSCA w/ secondary nagios machine monitoring separate network segment
Have you checked the nagios.cfg file and ensured the path for command_file is the same in both the nagios.cfg and nsca.cfg? Nagios should be creating the command file on start up. If they are the same, check that nagios has write permissions to /var/lib/nagios3/rw. Also, the command file is a pipe, not a simple file, so touch isn't good enough, you'll need to use mkfifo or mknod. Jonathon, it was simple newb issue. nagios.cfg needed 'check_external_commands' enabled. I got passive service checks working last night. Many thanks to bashk on irc.

[Nagios-users] NSCA w/ secondary nagios machine monitoring separate network segment
I've read this http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/distributed.html a few times, but I'm having a hard time understanding it. I will keep reading it until it makes sense. I'm running Ubuntu 10.04.

[Nagios-users] nsca packets disappear between xinetd and the daemon
I've got a system that accepts and processes nsca packets from a number of collectors successfully. Everything is using nsca-2.7.2. I added a new collector recently and it's not able to get data into the central nagios system via nsca. I recompiled the send_nsca client with the DEBUG flag enabled and get this output, which looks good: Connected okay... Got init packet from server Initialized encryption routines Done sending data 1 data packet(s) sent to host successfully. Cleaned up encryption routines On the central server, the xinetd logs look like the packets are being accepted: 10/10/1...@11:01:29: START: nsca from=not working collector in question IP 10/10/1...@11:01:29: EXIT: nsca status=0 But then nothing seems to show up the nsca log. All the other collector's data logs in the nsca log very nicely. Where should I look to debug my problem?

[Nagios-users] NSCA + NSClient
Hi,
I have NSCA configured on my Nagios host, and enabled the necessary plugins on
NSClient++ to support NSCA, configure XINETD appropriately inside my NSClient
config I have:
[NSCA Commands]
my_cpu_check=checkCPU warn=80 crit=90 time=20m time=10s time=4
my_mem_check=checkMem MaxWarn=80% MaxCrit=90% ShowAll type=page
This is just for testing, I also have in my nagios.cfg:
accept_passive_service_checks=1
accept_passive_host_checks=1

define service{
use generic-service
host_name van-mail01
service_description D - Disk Space
check_command check_nt_disk!D!98!99
}
Can I modify this to also read from the passive_check, and what would my [NSCA
Commands] definition look like? Does the first part have to reflect the service
description?
How does the information coming from the NSCA Client get mapped to my
configured checks?
Thank you.

Re: [Nagios-users] NSCA + NSClient
The short answer is yes, the service description you configure on the
client nsca message needs to match that of the service description on
your nagios server. If you want to migrate to a passive check you need
to disable active checks and enable passive ones. You can leave the
check command in place and incorporate freshness checks to force an
active check if the passive fail. For me I don't want to do active if
passive fail. I would rather cut a ticket service stale.The
nagios doc clearly shows how to configure passive service checks so give
it a read.
So you need my_cpu_check to be a service description so nagios knows
what to match that incoming nsca message to.

Re: [Nagios-users] NSCA + NSClient
Thanks, after reading the 3.x on passive_checks I get how to configure the
service.
Now, what would be the benefit of having active/passive checks enabled for a
service? Say, it takes 5 minutes for Nagios to process my 80 hosts/600
services, if the service that I am looking to enable passive checks on as well
is checked near the end of the 5 minute mark, wouldn't it get an update much
sooner having passive checks enabled?
That said, NSClient sending the information to Nagios, logically this sounds
like it should work like that, or based off:
check_result_reaper_frequency=5
max_check_result_reaper_time=30
So within a max of 30 seconds, I should be able to see if that service is
UP/DOWN in the Nagios (or the op5 Ninja) interface?
Are passive checks spread out like active checks on say, when Nagios starts?
Basically, I want to have the alerting tight as possible, if I login to my IIS
server and stop the IISADMIN service, I want to be alerted within those 0-30
seconds based on the reaper frequency.
The box that I put Nagios on has enough CPU/RAM and fast enough subsystem I/O
to build this type of configuration, but I want to make sure the logic above is
correct.
Thanks.

[Nagios-users] nsca daemon performance
I'm having a problem with my nsca daemon (v. 2.7.2) in a distributed monitoring setup (nagios 3.2.1 on SLES 10.2) and I was wondering if anyone else has seen something like this. nsca seems to be dropping incoming passives in an inconsistent way, sometimes keeping up, other times seeming to skip 1,2, or even sometimes 3 incoming passive checks. I've checked the collector, and it seems to be sending the nsca packets very solidly on the 5 minute normal_check_interval. These are the times that nagios logged a PASSIVE SERVICE CHECK for a typical service on a single host since last midnight: 00:03:55 00:08:56 00:13:50 00:18:51 00:28:53 00:38:55 00:43:56 00:48:50 00:53:51 00:58:52 01:08:54 01:13:55 01:18:49 01:23:50 01:38:53 01:43:54 01:48:55 01:53:49 01:58:50 02:18:54 02:23:55 02:28:49 02:33:50 02:53:47 02:58:55 03:03:56 03:08:50 03:23:46 03:28:54 03:33:55 03:38:56 03:43:50 03:48:51 03:58:46 04:03:54 04:08:55 04:13:56 04:18:50 04:38:54 04:43:55 04:48:56 04:53:50 04:58:51 05:03:52 05:13:54 05:18:55 05:23:56 05:28:50 05:48:54 05:53:55 05:58:49 06:03:50 06:23:54 06:28:48 06:33:49 06:38:50 07:03:55 07:08:49 07:13:50 07:33:54 07:38:55 07:43:56 07:48:50 08:03:46 08:08:54 08:13:55 08:18:49 08:23:50 08:33:52 08:43:54 08:48:55 08:53:56 08:58:50 09:08:45 09:18:54 09:23:55 09:28:49 09:33:50 09:38:44 09:53:54 09:58:55 10:03:49 10:08:50 10:28:54 10:33:55 10:38:49 10:43:50 11:08:55 11:13:56 11:18:50 11:33:46 11:38:54 11:43:55 11:48:56 11:53:50 12:13:54 12:18:55 Andy Ford Network Security Compliance Automation, Wells Fargo Co. 314-600-7025 andrew.f...@wachovia.com -- ___ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null

Thanks, Noel, that's very good advice for an xinetd-propelled nsca daemon, but this setup is using a standalone nsca. I used the xinetd approach for many years, maybe I should switch back...

Our problem is, that we don´t know how to use these plugins, like the syntax.

Re: [Nagios-users] NSCA and Windows
The plugins are simply command-line programs. By convention, all plugins should provide documentation when you start them with the -h switch. You can find quite a few plugins on monitoringexchange.org . I wrote a collection of plugins that you might find useful at http://sourceforge.net/projects/tntnagiosplugin/https://sourceforge.net/projects/tntnagiosplugin/ I'm not using them with NSClient, but they should work with it just fine.

[Nagios-users] nsca results don't reach nagios
Hi,
I have configured a nagios and nsca server, When I run the service check I
get the following message in syslog:

Re: [Nagios-users] NSCA strange behaviour
Hello, problem solved, it was indeed a version problem (minor number).. redhat has released a new nsca client/server package, removing a patch, and that made it incompatible with previous version.

Re: [Nagios-users] NSCA strange behaviour
Hello again I've made some other tests: - I changed encryption algo on server01 and client22, restarted nagiosnsca on server01, restarted nagios on client22. - let it run like that, checking logs for something. As I thought, nsca begins to output lot of error regarding version client and/or encryption method and/or password. Nice. - I put back the right encryption method on server01 but NOT on client22. I should have seen a pattern like Received invalid packet but nothing. I forced some status update from client22: for i in $(seq 1000); do echo -n 'host '; /usr/local/bin/submit_ochp $(hostname -f) UP Host is up; sleep 2; done Nothing. TCPDump shows me traffic, in and out for both hosts... Last test, I stopped nagiosnsca on server01, removed nsca.dump objects.cache retention.dat files, and start again nscanagios If we let the fact that all my hosts are pending, my client22 doesn't push any status... nothing in nsca logs. Any other idea ? It's like the nsca daemon ignore (without any output) client22 queries. and client22 doesn't know about it.

[Nagios-users] NSCA strange behaviour
Hello, I'm having troubles with NSCA. What we have : - about 47 passive hosts - about 220 passive services Versions : all are redhat servers, with: - NSCA 2.7.2 (latest one) - Nagios 3.1.2 We have a single nagios aggregator, which collect all NSCA status from the other hosts. What's happening: a host was reinstalled yesterday (say client22), and now it seems NSCA daemon on the aggregator (say server01) doesn't seem to collect data. What I've done: - tcpdump on both client22 and server01, both show me traffic between them, on NSCA default port (5667) - checked iptables rules, all is ok (as tcpdump shows me traffic, that's a confirmation) - trying to push status by hand from client22 to server01; ALL packets are sent successfully 1 data packet(s) sent to host successfully.. I've done this with a loop like that: for i in $(seq 1000); do /usr/local/bin/submit_ochp $(hostname -f) UP 'Host is up'; sleep 2; done - Enbling debug for nsca on server01 doesn't show me anything interesting. I just don't see where nsca catch up client22 status, and it keeps on saying : Warning: The results of host 'client22.domain.lt' are stale by 0d 0h 2m 0s (threshold=0d 0h 6m 0s).

I really don't know where to find a solution, neither where is the real problem. We have another network with about 200 passive hosts and over 350 passive services, and it works fine. The only differences are : - the working network is debian-only - the working network's NSCA server doesn't do anything else than central nagios server. server01 does some other stuff, like syslog server and collectd server... maybe there's a bottleneck in there, but I can't be sure about that. Does anyone of you have an idea ? Thank you in advance.

Re: [Nagios-users] NSCA strange behaviour
Hello again, In fact, configuration files are dployed via puppet(http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki), so all files (should be) are the same. I'll check it, but as puppet runs on every hosts, they all should have the same files. IP addresses are the same (fixed IP, fixed ports). I'll check files once again. If anyone has another idea...

Re: [Nagios-users] NSCA strange behaviour
Hello Marc, Indeed, the are fresh comes from nagios.log. ok, done. NSCA is running in daemon mode, iptables is opened for nsca port, and connections can go through it (tcpdump shows it to me, in both directions). Setting debug=1 in nsca.cfg seems to do nothing more in /var/log/messages (redhat server). I just see down hosts passing through (results for ... are stalled - forcing immedia check...). I set up debug for nagios itself, but it really seems to be a problem at NSCA level. Regards, C.

[Nagios-users] NSCA
Firstly many thanks to all that helped me, I finally got distributed servers
up and running.
It seems that there is a lot of discussion about distributed clusters.
Is there a current discussion forum linked to development for this, and how
do I join it
I would like to return some input and help make future versions of nagios
even better
Cheers
Nick

How do I get the data into the central nagios and therefore into the

I'm not sure what and how to write the central server configs for the
passive results coming in from the remote server.
The Distributed Monitoring section of the documentation goes into
pretty specific detail. On the central server, you essentially just
need to make sure that passive checks are enabled program-wide and for
the services you are submitting results for, that nagios is checking
for external commands and that NSCA is configured to write to nagios'
external command file. You must have a matching host{} and service{}
definition for every passive result that you will be submitting.

Re: [Nagios-users] NSCA - Command file does not exist
Does the nsca user or group have access to every single directory along the path? Easy way to try: su - nagios cd /usr/local/nagios/var/rw ls -lah * Note: the above won't work if user nagios has /bin/false as a shell. In that case, try su -s /bin/bash - nagios It should list nagios.cmd (and probably some other files) Joan Tugores wrote: I think that not using chroot jail, this is my nsca.cfg: pid_file=/var/run/nsca.pid server_port=5667 #server_address=192.168.1.1 nsca_user=nagios nsca_group=nagiosgrb #nsca_chroot=/usr/local/nagios/var/rw/ debug=1 command_file=/usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd alternate_dump_file=/usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nsca.dump aggregate_writes=0 append_to_file=0 max_packet_age=30 #password= decryption_method=1 Kevin Keane escribió: Does nsca run in a chroot jail?

[Nagios-users] NSCA and Latency
My Environment: 3 x Dell 2950 Dual DualCore and 8 GB of RAM One system runs checks against our Linux servers One runs checks against our Windows servers We are running SLES10 update 3 Both systems use nsca to send their check results to a third server that displays the service checks for our operators. All three systems are on the same vlan but separate cisco switchs. I am running nsca in daemon mode on the central server with this command /usr/local/nagios/bin/nsca -c /usr/local/nagios/etc/nsca.cfg -daemon Nsca.cfg is as follows: pid_file=/var/run/nsca.pidserver_port=5667#server_address=192.168.1.1nsc a_user=nagiosnsca_group=nagios#nsca_chroot=/var/run/nagios/rwdebug=1comm and_file=/usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmdalternate_dump_file=/usr/loc al/nagios/var/rw/nsca.dumpaggregate_writes=1append_to_file=1max_packet_a ge=300password=xxdecryption_method=14 I just set the aggregate and append options to try and fix the problem they were not set before either way the results are the same.

Between the 2 servers we are running about 10k service checks, latency is very low just a few seconds. However if I turn on the NSCA Deamon on the central server my latency creeps up to about 1500+ seconds with in an hour and just gets worse from there on both remotes. The checks that should run every 5 minutes on the 2 remote servers end up running every few hours or less. The central server is doing 0 active checks. I set debug mode and that proved to provide very little insight into the problem. CPU and Mem stats are both very low on all three server. The same thing can be said for the network, network utilization is less than 2% and there are no errors on the interfaces. Overall hardware utilization is 10% or less on these three systems. So my question is has anyone had this kind of problem with NSCA? What am I missing? Should I be batching my service checks on the remote servers? Should I be using xinetd for NSCA instead of deamon mode?

Re: [Nagios-users] NSCA and Latency
NSCA just doesn't scale well within Nagios. You will need to try something like the OCP Daemon mentioned here: http://www.nagioscommunity.org/wiki/index.php/OCP_Daemon I believe Andreas Ericsson has also written a broker module for NSCA. It is apparently still in its testing/alpha stages so you would have to contact that person directly.

[Nagios-users] NSCA not receiving or send_nsca not sending
Hi All! We're running Nagios 3.0.1 on RedHat ES 5.1, and have a problem where after a while no new messages are being received by NSCA. Sometimes it is from a Windows 2003 machine (send_nsca 2.4). Currently, this is the only Windows machine that is sending messages to the Nagios server, so I cannot tell if there is a generic problem with Windows. However, there have been occassions when no new messages can be sent from another machine (Linux). When the Linux machines have problems, the solution is to restart the NSCA daemon. However, with Windows there were a few dozen send_nsca processes and restarting the NSCA daemon did not help. Rather than killing all of the send_nsca processes individually, I rebooted the Windows machine and that worked. Perhaps one of the problems is the Linux machine running the send_nsca is the Nagios server. (I did try it from a different machine and no messages were sent either) It might seem sort of wierd doing things like that, but there is a reason. We need to check the state and usage of volumes on a NetApp. For all of the real important volumes there is a service defined. However, we also what to know if any of the others filesystems have problems or are getting full. So, we have one active service that runs a script to check *all* of the filesystems. The status is then send to the server (the same machine) using send_nsca. This is done whether there is a service defined or not because the script has no way of telling if there is a real service (although I guess I could build something into the script). If there is a real service, then the status is set. If not, the message is swollowed by Nagios. To avoid the problem of too many send_nsca connections, I thought about writing something directly to the cmd-file rather than going through send_nsca. I also thought about having two scripts. One that checks for a single filesystem and would be an active check. The second would check all of the filesystems that do not have their own service and then would send just a single message using send_nsca. Suggestions, ideas, comments, etc are all welcome.

Just change the source:
---8---
/* check the timestamp in the packet */
packet_time=(time_t)ntohl(receive_packet.timestamp);
time(current_time);
//if(packet_timecurrent_time){
//syslog(LOG_ERR,Dropping packet with future

///*return;*/
// close(sock);
//if(mode==SINGLE_PROCESS_DAEMON)
//return;
//else
//do_exit(STATE_OK);
//}
//else{
packet_age= abs ( (unsigned long)(current_time-packet_time)
);
syslog(LOG_ERR,Time diff: %lu seconds, packet_age);
if(max_packet_age0 (packet_agemax_packet_age)){
syslog(LOG_ERR,Dropping packet with stale timestamp
- packet was %lu seconds old or new.,packet_age);
/*return;*/
close(sock);
if(mode==SINGLE_PROCESS_DAEMON)
return;
else
do_exit(STATE_OK);
}
//}

If you want, you can see now the Time diff in the syslog.
Workes for me.
Perhaps that should be an option in the next release!

[Nagios-users] nsca and comments questions..
So I have 2 servers server1 server2 - - server1 lives inside my network and server2 lives in a DMZ. All of my customers login to server2 in order to see the status of the networks I monitor. The two servers replicate the information with nsca. It seems that when a systems goes down it replicates perfectly but when I comment on it the comments or anything do not go. Also does server2 have to ping all the systems as well? They it currently is pinging everything along with server1. What did I do wrong?

It seems that when a systems goes down it replicates perfectly but when I comment on it the comments or anything do not go. That's correct. Event handlers, which I assume you are using to call send_nsca, only fire on check results. There's no built-in way to replicate comments, acknowledgements, or any other CGI initiated action (except forced checks). Also does server2 have to ping all the systems as well? They it currently is pinging everything along with server1. Not if you disable active checks or set the check period to none. -- Marc - Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.

Nothing currently exists that I am aware of but there are certainly ways to do it. - create a client/daemon similar to NSCA that can send arbitrary external commands to the nagios external command pipe on remote machines - write an event-broker module that intercepts those events and sends appropriate commands to the above client or - tail -f nagios.log looking for those events and send appropriate commands to the above client. The client/daemon might be as simple as an authorized_keys ssh (untested) -- ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] 'echo [timestamp] EXTERNALCOMMAND;options / usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd' I'd probably opt for calling a script, that the key was limited to running, that accepted the external command and options as variables then wrote to the pipe. -- Marc - Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.

Re: [Nagios-users] NSCA and long output
As it turns out, getting long output working was a little easier than I
anticipated. The UI turns \n into BR. So I'm able to bundle the
long output into the standard plugin output. All I had to do in the end
was pass $LONGSERVICEOUTPUT$ with $SERVICEOUTPUT$ like this:
define command{
command_namesubmit_check_result
command_line
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/eventhandlers/submit_check_result $HOSTNAME$
'$SERVICEDESC$' $SERVICESTATE$ '$SERVICEOUTPUT$' '$LONGSERVICEOUTPUT$'
}
Then I copied submit_check_result script from the Distributed Monitoring
Doc that's on the web, and modified it accordingly:
...snip...
case $3 in
OK)
return_code=0
;;
WARNING)
return_code=1
;;
CRITICAL)
return_code=2
;;
UNKNOWN)
return_code=-1
;;
esac
if [[ $5 ]]
then
LONGOUT=$4\n$5
else
LONGOUT=$4
fi
printf %s\t%s\t%s\t%s\n $1 $2 $return_code $LONGOUT |
/usr/local/nagios/bin/send_nsca -H myhost.com -c
/usr/local/nagios/etc/send_nsca.cfg
...snip...
Just don't ask me how to turn this back into $LONGSERVICEOUTPUT$ once
it's on the master Nagios server.

AFAIK, you're in uncharted territory. Based on what I've seen, the longer output support has only really been applied to active commands but the documentation does indicate that support for passive results is there. NSCA hasn't been updated to handle multi-line output as you've seen nor have I seen any talk that it's coming soon. I also expect that you might see problems using the normal mechanism of writing the check results to the external command _pipe_ due to OS size limitations there (~1K typically). I expect that would only be a problem with large data returns (nagios internally supports $OUTPUT$ + $LONGOUTPUT$ of about ~4K). At this point I think you're going to have to roll your own check result return mechanism that either writes appropriately sized commands to the external pipe or larger ones to a file and uses the external command PROCESS_FILE to reap the results. -- Marc - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

Re: [Nagios-users] NSCA processes hanging around
No one seems to have replied to this post. So I thought I may as well
reply to myself :)
I think I have some more information about the cause of my issue and
maybe someone else can confirm or refute my suggestion.
Whilst running the Nagios beta versions we were experiencing memory
leaks (as documented in the change logs). Rather than roll back to 2.9
I was happy to script a restart of Nagios daily and wait for the problem
to be fixed.
Now I have removed the restarting of Nagios I no longer get any nsca
processes hanging around. So can anyone confirm the behaviour of NSCA
when nagios is shutting down or has shutdown?
As always, any and all help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Gareth.

Hello,
Over time I notice a number (a large number, ~500) of nsca processes
hanging around. I used netstat to see what they were up to and they
where all in the TIME_WAIT status.
Reading on the internet I think I understand what this means. Linux is
not closing the socket as it is waiting for any delayed traffic on the
network to appear. I have no problem with this as my first thought would
be that I will see a slow shift in the process numbers as sockets are
eventually closed and opened by new requests. This is not, however, the
behaviour I observed! The processes would wait indefinitely.
Now, clutching at straws I think I have managed to fix the problem. I
removed the REUSE flag from the nsca xinetd configuration:
# default: on
# description: NSCA
service nsca
{
#Commented out the line below in the vain hope it would fix nsca's wagon
#FLAGS = REUSE
socket_type = stream
wait = no
user = nagios
group = nagios
server = /usr/local/nagios/bin/nsca
server_args = -c /usr/local/nagios/etc/nsca.cfg --inetd log_on_failure
+= USERID
disable = no
}
Again some research on the net has told me a little bit about the REUSE
flag but I wanted to gather the opinions from those with much more
knowledge than I. Therefore, can anyone tell me if this is a reasonable
thing to do? Have I made a grievous error without even knowing? Has
anyone else experienced this behaviour?
I really appreciate anyone who has taken the time to read this and would
love some feedback if you get the chance.
Many thanks,
Gareth Watson

Re: [Nagios-users] NSCA problem
I see how this could cause problems especially since the server is also a mail content filter, but disks are hardware RAID5 on a Dell Perc controller monitored by Nagios and they appear fine. If you are sending a lot of stand-alone NSCA results, it is only natural that you will start to get delays and hanging processes at some point (before you reach ~1000/checks minute at current hardware). But this should materialize itself also at the sending servers - is latency there OK still? Anyway, if this is the case, solution is to bundle up nsca checks and only send a batch every 10-20 seconds. Should reduce load and latency both at the sending and receiving server.

[Nagios-users] NSCA Confusing host check results as service checks
Original msg: Warning: Passive check result was received for service '0' on host 'server1', but the service could not be found! NSCA daemon makes the host/service check determination based simply on the number of arguments. If you take a remote nagios instance which is reporting passive host/service checks, you can bump the debugging_level=384 and see something like this: [1196258852.155446] [256.1] [pid=20619] Running command '/usr/local/libexec/nagios/send_host_check fbsd05 0 'PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 0.67 ms''... In this case, there are the proper number of arguments: 3 But NSCA recieving this msg is seeing 4 arguments. A closer look at /usr/local/libexec/nagios/send_host_check reveals why: #!/bin/sh /bin/echo $1,$2,$3 | /usr/local/sbin/send_nsca -H master.tld \ -c /usr/local/etc/nagios/send_nsca.cfg -d , This means that depending on how shit is escaped within: - Nagios on remote node - /bin/sh - send_nsca binary Therefore, a $3 value of: 'PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 0.67 ms' May or may not be truncated into three values.

It looks like the problem is caused by using , as the delimiter. There is a , in the status string PING OK... which would provide NSCA with the fouth argument, and make it a service result rather than a host result. -- Bob Sloane, University of Kansas Computer Center, Lawrence, KS, 66045 Email:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ku.edu/home/sloane Phone:(785)864-0444 -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Brian A.

Well, yea, but the question is how to address it.
It really seems like /usr/local/libexec/nagios/send_{host,service}_check
is superfluous.
Its a lot of extra forking and pipeing on an already deadly inefficient
system.
Of course, one cheap hack deserves another and for the time being it seems
that:
/bin/echo $1//$2//$3 | /usr/local/sbin/send_nsca -H master \
-c /usr/local/etc/nagios/send_nsca.cfg -d //
Using // as a delimeter is not likely to show up in any macro of plugin
output (Except for maybe Samba? fuck screw that)
