Nagios 3.0 has native support for this. I use a simple wrapper script
and define things like:
define service{
service_description VpnExternalIFPingCheck
hostgroup_name vpn_ip
use generic-service
check_command check_host_by_icmp!300,20%!500,40%!!`$USER1$/ge
t_custom_attributes $HOSTNAME$ VPN-IP`
contact_groups renesys-admins-nopage
}
# 'check_host_via_icmp' command definition
define command{
command_namecheck_host_by_icmp
command_line$USER1$/check_icmp -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$ -n 2 $ARG3$ $ARG
4$
}
with the custom attribute $HOSTNAME$-VPN-IP defined as comment in the host
definition like:
define host{
host_name example
alias examplesite1
address 192.168.9.7
parents sc01_site1
use generic-host
# custom_macro ops01-INSTALL-IP 192.168.9.10
# custom_macro ops01-YUM-IP 192.168.97.11
# custom_macro ops01-VPN-IP 169.184.83.10
hostgroups standard_services,standard_linux_services,linux
_prod_hosts,internal_hosts,mht1,3ware_raid,dhcp_testers,yum_hosts,install_hosts
,web_role,vpn_hosts,vpn_ip
}
The get_custom_attributes script below goes in the plugins directory
($USER1$) and change HOSTFILES (files with host object definitons) to
a pattern that matches your installation:
#! /bin/sh
# this needs to run as fast as possible.
HOSTFILES="/etc/nagios/hosts/*.cfg"
# use cache file if present
# create cache file with:
# grep -h custom_macro HOSTFILES > custom_macros.cache
# where HOSTFILES are the same files as specified above.
CACHEFILE="/etc/nagios/hosts/custom_macros.cache"
if [ -r $CACHEFILE ]; then
FILES="$CACHEFILE"
else
FILES="$HOSTFILES"
fi
# sed out lines of the form:
# "# custom_macro HOST-VARIABLE VALUE" allowing arbitrary white space before
# and after each token. Stripping white space from before (any maybe after)
# the value. The sed command will exit on first match.
value=`sed -n -e "s/^[ ]*#[]*custom_macro[ ]*$1-$2[]*\([^
].*\)[ ]*$/\1/p" -e "t exit" -e "T" -e ":exit;q" $FILES`
if [ -z "$value" ]; then
echo "'Unable to find $1-$2'"
else
echo "$value"
fi
I keep all my nagios files under Config and when new hosts files are
pushed a simple command (grep custom_macro $HOSTFILES >
.../custom_macros.cache) updates the cache file on every host file
change.

[Nagios-users] User-defined host/service attributes
Hi,
recently, I was confused by my Nagios reporting a host DOWN event
while the host was alive and kicking. After debugging for a while, I
found out that the host had changed IP addresses and nagios was, of
course, still checking the old address since it was configured to
check the IP address.
To catch such error situations earlier, I'd now like to have Nagios
check that the host name indeed still points to the IP address we're
actually checking.
This is easy enough:
define service {
use my-service
hostgroup_name hostnameip
service_description my_hostnameip
check_command check_hostnameip
}
define command {
command_name check_hostnameip
command_line $USER1$/check_dns --hostname=$HOSTNAME$
--expected-address=$HOSTADDRESS$
}
This, however, means that one has to have the DNS name of the host in
the host_name field:
define host {
use my-linux-host
host_name ipdesc.iface.host.loc.mydomain.example
hostgroups defaultping, snmp-w68, ssh, hostnameip
alias foo server running bar and baz services,
colocated in blu
address 10.1.1.47
parents localhost
}
This is a bit clumsy since our host names are complicated and lengthy.
I'd like to have something like
define command {
command_name check_hostnameip
command_line $USER1$/check_dns --hostname=$CUSTOMATTR$
--expected-address=$HOSTADDRESS$
}
define host {
use my-linux-host
host_name host.mydomain.example
custom_attributeipdesc.iface.host.loc.mydomain.example
hostgroups defaultping, snmp-w68, ssh, hostnameip
alias foo server running bar and baz services,
colocated in blu
address 10.1.1.47
parents localhost
}
If this possible in Nagios2? If not, are there other ideas how to
solve this?
Greetings
Marc
