Re: [Nagios-users] Initial problems

First off, the Nagios output states it is Nagios 3.0.1, not Nagios 2.x. This is fine, just refer to the Nagios 3 documentation as some things have changed, such as the first couple of warnings. First off, it looks like you have a permissions issue on the /usr/local/nagios/log directory. Make sur

[Nagios-users] Initial problems

Greetings I am just starting to use nagios and it looks promising. Along with the documentation supplied, I am also using the text from the book Pro Nagios 2.0 by James Turnbull. The version of nagios is 2.0 February 06, 2006 as this came with the SuSE Linux 11.0. Tried starting na

Hi Alan, Up to yesterday I had a similar problem with our NDO db on the same spec box as yours. Are your tables primarily type innodb like mine ? I am asking as my NDO db was created by Centreon's install script and not the normal way, if so then the following may help. Your initial post show

[Nagios-users] external command to enable all active service checks

I am setting up a failover nagios instance as described here. http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/redundancy.html#scenario_2 I have looked through the external commands but cannot find one that will enable or disable all active service checks. Am I missing something? I have found external comm

Re: [Nagios-users] nrpe and check_mailq

Okay, I started to go down the sudo path until I realized I have other systems that check_mailq works just fine on without having to be root. The difference is that the system it works on is a FreeBSD and the system that's choking is Linux. check_mailq on the working system is running as the same

We are using Nagios 2.9 and when someone acknowledges an alert it populates the Author(Your name) field with username%40domainname. This should be [EMAIL PROTECTED] Any ideas on how to make the @ appear properly? Thanks -

Re: [Nagios-users] checks, notifications don't work after time period exception

The system date is correct and Nagios is showing the correct day and time on the status page. If I stop Nagios, I don't see any other Nagios processes running. The two templates here have not been touched. I looked at both and have 24x7 for all times which is the default. I just modified the ti

[Nagios-users] checks, notifications don't work after time period exception

We have a qa group overseas that will work on our customer sites during the US overnight. To avoid false alerts, I added a time exception so notifications are not sent out between 4am and 5:30am. The problem is, after the exception, Nagios (3.0.3) won't send notifications, neither are checks perf

[Nagios-users] Checking Windows Services with stupid names.

Hi, I have a service on a windows-box to check, which has a "&" in the name. (With check_nt and nsclient++) with 'SERVICESTATE -l "Foo & Bar"' it checks for the services 'foo' and 'bar' , \&, \\\& and using ' instead of " did'n't help. How do I check this? Cheers Klaus -- First Official Inter
