[Nagios-users] Help needed: How do you configure dynamic thresholds depending on timeframes.
Help needed: How do you configure dynamic thresholds depending on timeframes.
Example. -w = 80 -c = 90 during business hours but -w = 90 -c = 95
outsite business hours.
How can we configure into nagios dynamic thresholds depending on
timeframes: Part II
define service{
use local-service ; Name
of service template to use
host_name localhost
service_description Current Users
check_command check_local_users!20!50
check_period nonworkhours
notification_period nonworkhours
}
define service{
use local-service ; Name
of service template to use
host_name localhost
service_description Current Users
check_command check_local_users!40!60
check_period workhours
notification_period workhours
}
In my above example i dit configure the same test twice. The two
timeframes 'nonworkhours' en 'workhours' together equals 24x7
Is this way of configuring allowed. Because this solves my problem.
1) how will the nagios scheduling react on this configuration?
2) how will the display react on this configuration?
# 'workhours' timeperiod definition
define timeperiod{
timeperiod_name workhours
alias Normal Working Hours
monday 09:00-17:00
tuesday 09:00-17:00
wednesday 09:00-17:00
thursday09:00-17:00
friday 09:00-17:00
}
# 'nonworkhours' timeperiod definition
define timeperiod{
timeperiod_name nonworkhours
alias Non-Work Hours
sunday 00:00-24:00
monday 00:00-09:00,17:00-24:00
tuesday 00:00-09:00,17:00-24:00
wednesday 00:00-09:00,17:00-24:00
thursday00:00-09:00,17:00-24:00
friday 00:00-09:00,17:00-24:00
saturday00:00-24:00
}
check_period: This directive is used to specify the short name of the
time period during which active checks of this host can be made.
check_period: This directive is used to specify the short name of the
time period during which active checks of this service can be made.
If you do not use the check_period directive to specify a timeperiod,
Nagios will be able to schedule active
checks of the host or service anytime it needs to. This is essentially
a 24x7 monitoring scenario.
Specifying a timeperiod in the check_period directive allows you to
restrict the time that Nagios perform
regularly scheduled, active checks of the host or service. When Nagios
attempts to reschedule a host or
service check, it will make sure that the next check falls within a
valid time range within the defined
timeperiod. If it doesnt, Nagios will adjust the next check time to
coincide with the next valid time in
the specified timeperiod. This means that the host or service may not
get checked again for another hour,
day, or week, etc.
Timeperiods:
Exclusions and Host/Service Checks - There is a bug in the
service/host check scheduling logic
that rears its head when you use timeperiod definitions that use the
excludedirective. The
problem occurs when Nagios Core tries to re-schedule the next check.
In this case, the
scheduling logic may incorrectly schedule the next check further out
in the future than it
should. In essence, it skips over the (missing) logic where it could
determine an earlier possible
time using the exception times. Imperfect Solution: Dont use
timeperiod definitions that
exclude other timeperods for your host/service check periods. A fix is
being worked on, and
will hopefully make it into a 3.4.x release.

It would be really appreciated if somone can help me out setting up nagios monitoring for a website or a secured website. I just wanted to match the string after the website is authenticated. for eg: i am trying to setup the monitoring for facebook.com, and the command i am using for this is- ./check_http -H facebook.com -u http://www.facebook.com; -a myfbusername:myfbpassword -s Facebook helps you connect -f follow Plugin responds back --- HTTP OK: HTTP/1.1 200 OK - 27441 bytes in 2.614 second response time |time=2.613975s;;;0.00 size=27441B;;;0 even if the password is incorrect i gives me same response because it is verifying the string and responds back correctly. So i need to know what am i doing wrong here or may be i am not using the right plugin to do so because as i know its not the basic authentication that i am going through. Need your help, trying to get this done from couple of days now... but not getting it solved. Please help or suggest...

Re: [Nagios-users] Help Needed | Web Authentication
Basic HTTP authentication is what you would use if you were password protecting a web page using an .htaccess file. Since Facebook does not use basic HTTP authentication, Facebook is ignoring the login and password you are sending it and is just displaying the standard login page (in this situation the check_http plugin will not work with the parameters you are sending it). To verify login access to a site like Facebook you will need to configure the check to run the same way that the browser would. That means you must get the variable names from the login form (view the source code and get *all* of the form parameters that are contained in the login form, including the hidden ones) and populate them with the required values. Those parameters then need to be sent by either a GET request and/or a POST request (using key=value pairs joined by an , e.g. login=myfbusernamepass=myfbpassword), depending on how Facebook's login page is configured. (You will need to be aware that if the names of the form fields ever change you must update your check to match them.) For GET requests, use the -u parameter to populate the fields, and for POST requests, use the -P parameter. Also, if you are monitoring a Facebook login/pass by repeatedly logging into it, it is possible that you might set off a warning flag in some Facebook internal system that monitors for automated logins. If it is for some other site, make sure that the code on that site will not have any problems with constantly repeating logins.

Make sure the plugin you're trying to run actually exists. This is most probably not what you see in the web server error log. The original problems seems to indicate that you did not set up the web server correctly. It's described in the manual, but basically you need to make sure that the nagios cgi-scripts are executed correctly. Permissions, ownership, selinux and AppArmor are some things to check first, then make sure the web server setup is thus that these scripts are actually executed and not simply sent when they are called. what does this mean... i am using the minimal.cfg file to get nagios up and running first ... Have you modified the configuration so that it actually uses the plugins you installed? Nagios really needs to be setup by you. in the command prompt services like ./check_ping ./check_tcp are working fine for the localhost.. As which user? Have you checked the paths?

Re: [Nagios-users] help needed .. newbie
It's always better to put the full path to the plugins (or check this is so in minimal.cfg.) $USER1$ I believe has the path to the plugins folder (nagios/libexec), so you can use $USER1$/check_ping -H localhost in a service definition as the check command to ping the localhost. Return code 127 means either the path to the plugin was invalid, the plugin is missing, or the nagios user doesn't have permissions to execute the plugin. rahul ramasubramanian wrote: hi ankush.. thanks for the help... the nagios service is running now but still i get the same error the error message that is being writetn in the logs is Warning: Return code of 127 for check of service 'PING' on host 'localhost' wa s out of bounds. Make sure the plugin you're trying to run actually exists. what does this mean... i am using the minimal.cfg file to get nagios up and running first ... in the command prompt services like ./check_ping ./check_tcp are working fine for the localhost.. thanks rahul From: ankush grover [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: rahul ramasubramanian [EMAIL PROTECTED], Nagios Users Mailinglist nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] help needed .. newbie Date: Tue, 5 Sep 2006 12:02:53 +0530 On 9/5/06, rahul ramasubramanian [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: hi all i am a newbie to nagios and am trying to install it on my server.. i successfully installed the nagios framework and plugins and got a pre flight check -ok.. a nagios -s command gave the following output Max host check spread: 30 min First scheduled check: N/A Last scheduled check:N/A SERVICE SCHEDULING INFORMATION --- Total services: 5 Total scheduled services: 5 Service inter-check delay method: SMART Average service check interval: 300.00 sec Inter-check delay: 60.00 sec Interleave factor method: SMART Average services per host: 5.00 Service interleave factor: 5 Max service check spread: 30 min First scheduled check: Mon Sep 4 02:34:08 2006 Last scheduled check: Mon Sep 4 02:38:08 2006 CHECK PROCESSING INFORMATION Service check reaper interval: 10 sec Max concurrent service checks: Unlimited PERFORMANCE SUGGESTIONS --- I have no suggestions - things look okay. so i guessed that everything was going on allright... why i tried to use my web interface to access nagios( apache web server ) ... i reach the main nagios screen..( the documentation part ) but on trying to click on any other tab i got the following error.
