[Nagios-users] question about additional plugins and/or changing default port on supplemented plugin

2010-12-06 Thread Jonathan Wiggins
I want to find out if I can simply change the check_command for imap, pop, and smtp to verify 587, 995, and 993 respectively on the nagios server, in commands.cfg, I thought perhaps I could just change this: # 'check_pop' command definition define command{ command_namecheck_pop

In top, does it show the same load values? The status of your memory shouldn't cause the nagios plugin to report high cpu. What does the uptime command say? Try running the check_load script by hand on that host and verify it returns the same results. Dan From: Marc Powell [mailto:li...

You might want to check: netstat -nap |grep 5667 That will show you what's actually listening on that port, if anything. That's usually oen big reason xinetd couldn't start up. Like maybe you have an RC script starting up NSCA outside of xinetd. Dan From: Rikard Dahlberg [mailto:r

Hi there -- We are running Nagios 3.1.2 server, and the client that is the subject of this e-mail is running version 2.6 of the nrpe client. The check_load plugin, version 1.4, is indicating the past three readings are the following: load average: 71.00, 71.00, 70.95 CRITICAL The critical thresh

[Nagios-users] Alerting based on past-to-current trends?

2010-12-06 Thread Ian Ehrenwald
Hello I was wondering if there was a straight-forward way to alert based on an average of past data plus a current perfdata entry. I understand I'm not explaining it very well that way, so here is the real-world example I am working with - I am polling a set of machines via SNMP for CPU load e

Hi Rikard, I assume you have checked the path and rights to all files. What seems to be wrong is your 'server_args' parameter. server_args = -c /etc/nsca.cfg .inetd The option 'inetd' must be added via '--' and not '.'. server_args = -c /etc/nsca.cfg --inetd I think that should do the

Hi Rikard, is your nsca daemon running (on your nagios host?). You can check the process list via 'ps aux | grep nsca'. Furthermore you should try to connect to port 5667 (from localhost and/or your windows server): telnet localhost 5667. If you get connected you should verify your network setup (

Rikard From first glance you may have several factors that may contribute to the issue you are having : 1) you may not have the nsca deamon running on the nagios server , to receive the sent data from the submitting server - to solve that look at the documentation of nsca and see about sett
