Re: [Nagios-users] Weird Nagios Problem

Martin, I've always used NRPE to run check_load remotely. If you use SNMP, you can also write a custom plugin to gather the values that way. There might be a plugin that someone else has written, too. Jeffrey. On Tue, Dec 4, 2012 at 8:33 AM, Martin Hugo wrote: > You are right, it was using c

[Nagios-users] Service dependency help

Hello, I'm having some trouble getting a service dependency working and I was hoping for some help. I've read the section in Wolfgang Barth's book "Nagios 2nd Edition" and googled around a bit, but something's still not working right. I'm using Nagios 3.0.6. Specifically, I want to set it up so

Re: [Nagios-users] question about check_disk

You have it backwards. 'df' says 24% used, not remaining. 'check_disk' shows how much is remaining (76% and 99% in this case). I've never liked how check_disk displays its results by default, most Unix tools show as a primary metric how much of a resource is used and not how much is remaining.

Re: [Nagios-users] disk checks unreliable

The check is working correctly - /mnt/store is a valid path in both circumstances. Remember, in Unix mounted filesystems all sit on top of the / filesystem, so when you umount the filesystem on /mnt/store, that mountpoint still exists (on /). The way I've done it in the past is by using -r/-R to

Re: [Nagios-users] Distributed Nagios Configuration with Passive Checks

If I understand you correctly, are you trying to have your master server accept passive checks from other Nagios servers and check services and servers itself? If so, what I think would be easier (and is the method recommended by the docs) would be to just set up a second Nagios server (or instanc

Re: [Nagios-users] Monitoring temperatures on Cisco equipment

I think you misunderstand. Those two plugins return WARNING or CRITICAL if one of the two things occur: 1) If the ciscoEnvMonTemperatureState is not "normal". 2) If the passed -w and -c values are less than ciscoEnvMonTemperatureStatusValue. What I'm asking is why #2 is _required_. I can unders

Re: [Nagios-users] NRPE- Log files in syslog

You really ought to read up on syslog and how it works. It can do everything you're asking. The whole point of the syslog service is to abstract logging from the application - so that it can be centralized, filtered, separated, etc. :) Try (depends on which syslog you have running, ps can help

Re: [Nagios-users] Notification criteria

Nagios notifies on HARD states (or flapping, which is another matter). It's generally assumed that people don't want to be notified every time there's a failed check - they want to be notified after it's failed a certain number of times. A SOFT state is a state where non-OK checks have occurred l

I'm looking to monitor temperature on some various Cisco equipment (2821, 3750, 4948, 6509, etc). I've looked at the check_catalyst_temp.pl and check_env_stats.py plugins, which both look in .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.13.1. I see and understand the basic mechanisms of these checks. What I don't understand
