[Nagios-users] Nagios help
Hi! I have a perl script which returns data in the following format (output from a wget) - AppName : BillingApp "status" = "OK"; AppName : PaymentApp "status" = "WARN"; AppName : OrderApp "status" = "ERROR"; AppName : RegApp "status" = "FATAL"; the output consists of 150+ apps, with each one of them returning their status. Here is what I need - Want to create a wrapper script which returns a cumulative summary. I need a step by step instructions on how to hook a script like this into nagios? What I desire - Instead of a cumulative result, can I display the result in Nagios on a per application basis using this one script (and a wrapper script on top of it)? I tried check_http but it doesnt solve my needs as I want to parse out the output from the wget rather than just doing a wget on a port. If you can also provide me with a wrapper script for reference in relation to how the result can be presented to Nagios that would be great. Please help!!

Hi
I am new to nagios !
I have added my first windows machine as stated below , now i want to add
more machines , so do i need to add one more windows.cfg file with new
host definations or simply add hostname in present file windows.cfg
seperated by comma ,
like
host_nameserver1,server2,
This might seem a very stupid questions to many but still as i am new to
this, so i need some help.
Add a new host definition for the Windows machine that you're going to
monitor. If this is the *first* Windows machine you're monitoring, you can
simply modify the sample host definition in windows.cfg. Change the
host_name, alias, and address fields to appropriate values for the Windows
box.
define host{
use windows-server ;
Inherit default values from a Windows server template (make sure you keep
this line!)
host_name winserver
alias My Windows Server
address 192.168.1.2
}
Good. Now you can add some service definitions (to the same configuration
file) in order to tell Nagios to monitor different aspects of the Windows
machine. If this is the *first* Windows machine you're monitoring, you can
simply modify the sample service definitions in windows.cfg.

It's pretty easy...
- create your script to perform the check. Pay particular attention to the
Output and Return Code requirements of
http://nagiosplug.sourceforge.net/developer-guidelines.html
- create a command{} definition that calls your script.
- create one or more service definitions that reference your new command{}
definition
- reload nagios
- ...
- PROFIT!

Seems straightforward to me. Accept a command line argument referencing what
you want to look for and search the output for that status. Print out the
status and exit with a corresponding exit code.
> If you can also provide me with a wrapper script for reference in relation to

Look at pretty much any of the plugins at http://exchange.nagios.org. I'd bet
that the majority of them call some external program, parse it's output and
return results.

When I had "my first nagios-day", I ran into the exactly same issue.
I monitor two linux-servers which looks like this:
define host{
use linux-server
host_name OpenVPN1
alias OpenVPN-Server Nr1
address ovpn1.somedomain.de
}
define host{
use linux-server
host_name OpenVPN2
alias OpenVPN-Server Nr2
address ovpn2.somedomain.de
}
(The template that comes with nagios is beeing used).
Hope this helps a little.

Hi Marcus
this means that the service defination will also look like this
define service{
use generic-service
host_name winserver1
service_description Memory Usage
check_command check_nt!MEMUSE!-w 80 -c 90
define service{
use generic-service
host_name winserver2
service_description Memory Usage
check_command check_nt!MEMUSE!-w 80 -c 90
To monitor 30 servers i need to add 30 lines.or is there any way that we
monitors number of services in all hosts.

Hi Pallav,
Provided you have setup your 30 hosts in your hosts.cfg or what ever
file then all you need to do to define the service is as i show below.
define service{
use
generic-service
host_name
winserver1,winserver2,winserver3,..winserver30
service_description Memory
Usage
check_command
check_nt!MEMUSE!-w 80 -c 90

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios help!!
windows.cfg is for all hosts and services for windows boxes
that host definition can be copied and pasted for each host you add;
just change the host name and address for each box
take a look at the documentation for all available options; those listed
below are only the base sample

Add a new host
<http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/objectdefinitions.html#host>
definition for the Windows machine that you're going to monitor. If this
is the *first* Windows machine you're monitoring, you can simply modify
the sample host definition in windows.cfg. Change the host_name, alias,
and address fields to appropriate values for the Windows box.
define host{

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios help : to display when was my server lastrebooted.
Uptime is a funny thing, it can go to zero for a number of reasons, usually because a 32 bit counter has rolled over (after 136 years, 68 years, 500 days, 250 days, 49.7 days (win98 just stalled at this point), or 25 days. You can sometimes monitor the SNMP OID "htSystemUptime", which appears on my linux, solaris and windows 2000 boxes. When this value decreases to nearly 0, you've had a reboot, or the counter has rotated. This value is probably the same value reported by "uptime" on a linux or windows box. If you want to know when your system is available, you could set a "check_ping" *service* on thie host, in nagios, running every 30 seconds with retrys every 5 seconds. If the service goes away, then there's a good chance it's rebooted itself. If you suspect a reboot, look through the logs. In linux, run "last", you should see a "reboot" user if the system has rebooted. In windows check the Security or Applications logs from the suspected reboot time.

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios help : to display when was my server lastrebooted.
On Windows, Frequently many admins leave automatic updates on to make there life easier, but as a side effect the server reboots itself usually midweek. To have more controle over the reboot, wither manually run updates or configure a SUS server. Updates installed are published in the System Log as well as the reboot itself. If you really want the last boot time instead of the uptime, add a wrapper shell script that calculates the reboot date by subtracting the uptime from the current time. tony (Author of NC_Net -Windows plugin) On Thu, Apr 10, 2008 at 8:50 AM, Paul Weaver <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Uptime is a funny thing, it can go to zero for a number of reasons, > usually because a 32 bit counter has rolled over (after 136 years, 68 > years, 500 days, 250 days, 49.7 days (win98 just stalled at this point), > or 25 days. > > You can sometimes monitor the SNMP OID "htSystemUptime", which appears > on my linux, solaris and windows 2000 boxes.
