[Nagios-users] Warning threshold must be float or float triplet!
I added my localhost as a host and defined it in services and hostgroups. added services: current load, current users, root partition, and total process. Anyway nagios tells me the host is down and returns the message in this subject line. Any ideas? -- - Justin - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

Well, because nagios isn't really running the check_load command. The file above contains the command line(s) that nagios would have run for check_local_load. As you can see, every other time it runs it the arguments are missing. I can only think of two reasons why this would be. 1) You have two similar, but not identical service definitions for that host that both use the check_local_load command. One is defined properly, one is not. Search your configs for references to check_local_load. Remove or correct the duplicate. 2) You have multiple nagios daemons running, one with check_local_load properly defined, one without. Stop nagios, use ps to verify that all are dead, kill any that might remain and restart nagios. Once you find the cause you'll need to remove 'echo " ... ">>/tmp/nagios' stuff I had you add to the check_local_load command definition so that nagios will actually run the command again. > > When I sent the reload command however, all hosts start showing down.

This will work presuming your check_local_load command{} uses the $ARG1$
and $ARG2$ macros appropriately --
$ ./check_load -w 5.0,4.0,3.0 -c 10.0,6.0,4.0
OK - load average: 2.90, 2.29, 2.76|load1=2.900;5.000;10.000;0;
load5=2.290;4.000;6.000;0; load15=2.760;3.000;4.000;0;
Your command{} command_line should look something like --
command_line $USER1$/check_load -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$
Does it?

Is the wordwrap on the check_command line the fault of your e-mail
client or is it a problem with the actual config file?

Yes, that looks good. I'd --
- verify that nagios was reloaded after creating this command
definition
- verify that there aren't multiple nagios daemons running
(stop; kill; start)
- verify that nagios is executing the command I think is. Modify
command_line to be the following then check the contents of /tmp/nagios
--
command_line /bin/echo "$USER1$/check_load -w $ARG1$ -c
$ARG2$" >> /tmp/nagios

When stopping Nagios, I typically issue a /etc/rc.d/init.d stop and
then verify there are none running. I also use Kill -HUP since I
normally start nagios as a daemon with the -d. Is this the
correct process? Further, what is best practices after adding a
host to refresh Nagio to pick up that host without reflecting
undetermined availability for the rest of the hosts or causing any
problems?

Re: [Nagios-users] Warning threshold must be float or float triplet!
These could be normal. Nagios will spawn a child process to manage each
check. What you're interested in is if there are multiple nagios process
with a parent PID of 1. ps -ef usually shows child/parent PIDS. If you
stop nagios and see none remaining then you don't have multiple daemons
running.
As far as reloading config, a HUP to the parent process or calling
'/etc/init.d/nagios reload' is sufficient.

Re: [Nagios-users] Warning threshold must be float or float triplet!
I sent the reload command and basically nagios is now telling me 30 hosts are down and that number is increasing? This is a problem. why does this happen? And back to my original issue, nagios itself is still showing down. I modified the command as you suggested, how do I verify that?
This is all good stuff as once I catch the learning curve here and get these things ironed out, it'll be nice.

Look at the contents of /tmp/nagios. It should contain the command linethat nagios would have executed for the check_local_load service. Canyou successfully run that from the command line as the nagios user?

'nagios' is a file in '/tmp'. It's contents are modified every time
check_local_load is executed if you've followed my directions.

contents of /tmp/nagios
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_load -w 5.0,4.0,3.0 -c 10.0,6.0,4.0
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_load -w -c

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_load -w -c
So whatever you had me do, made the host down go away for the nagios host.
When I sent the reload command however, all hosts start showing
down. I have to stop nagios and kill the daemon running, the
start it again before it will recognize the host services again.
This causes major problems as it doesn't reflect current uptime in
reports. Any ideas here?
Another issue that could play into this, I still can't schedule
downtime b/c I can't isue external commands. Someone mentioned
htaccess files, but I have my httpd.conf file with the same contents.On 8/3/06, Marc Powell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

What does the status information for the down hosts/services say.
That'll be a primary indicator of why it's happening. I can't begin to
guess.

Look at the contents of /tmp/nagios. It should contain the command line
that nagios would have executed for the check_local_load service. Can
you successfully run that from the command line as the nagios user?
