I'm running Nagios Core 3.2.3 in a CentOS 5.5 Server, i'm trying to set the notifications, however they don't go through. I'm Using Postfix, i also setup squirrel mail and i can send mails through it successfully, can anyone give me some advice about the logs to check or configurations to check?
I'm working hard with Nagios 3.0.4 on Debian Lenny. I have some questions. I can't find any information about these issues. I have hosts with a first_notification_delay of 60 minutes.And I have the whole day a Nagios controlling the same hosts. It's good to know if the same host is turned on during the night, but my work period begins at 10:00 am and it finish at 22:00 pm, I'm not a lucky boy I have configured a notification Period to 10:00 am to 22:00 pm.
Question 1: If a host goes into hard state CRITICAL, I know that Nagios waits 60 minutes to send a notification, but What happens if the host recovers before the first_notification_delay period ( for example, 30 min before)?Does it send the recovery notification or not?
Question 2: If a hard state happens at 21:59. Does Nagios wait until the 10:00 am of the day after to send the notification? If the host recovers at 9:00 am of the day after is the notification message cancelled?
How to see the code behind the nagios plugin: Nagios Checker? I opened the folder which i have downloaded. After that where do i have to go to see the codes? Is it in App_Codes?
So we monitor all of our disk space, but only get pages for critical. What we would like to do is have one email sent to our team every month with all the "Warnings" for our disk. I have been searching and haven't found a way to do this. Any suggestions?
In order to have greater control over the emails sent out the company I imagined the following scenario.ScenarioDescribing in words what I need.ser sends an email to user@hotmail.com for example, using the smtp of my isp (is the internet).Before the email is sent, the firewall checks if the recipient is blocked transparent, if you are locked out rejects the email.I searched several forums and mailing lists, but did not find scenarios similar to mine.Where found situations in which the mail servers were internally in the company, which is not my case.
I installed Lucid Lynx a week ago and I have a problem with the notifications. The notifications that appear on the screen stay for a long time, about 10 seconds. How to control these notifications so that I can reduce the time?
Had anyone tried downloading a free SMTP server from the web and use it to send emails in nagios, when the services are down, an email notification will be sent.Right now i need a smtp server in order for me to send email notifications, are there any recommended ones?
I am using Kde 4.5 in Debian and I get some notifications after start that I need to update something. How can I disable it (I often don't want to waste bandwidth for such things)? I am using Debian Wheezy and Kde 4.5
I need a program which generates events when a file is moved, removed or its extended attributes are changed. I'm running Ubuntu Karmic Koala 32-bit desktop.inotify is the standard solution for such problems, but inotify cannot install a recursive watch, so the only option is to the equivalent of find on the filesystem, and add an inotify watch on each node. This is what e.g. inotifywatch does. This won't work for me, because my filesystem has 1 million files, and installing watches to all of them takes forever.
fanotify could work except that I would have to patch the kernel for that (I'm currently running 2.6.31-20), and maintaining patches to the Linux kernel is beyond my time commitment.I used to use rfsdelta (whose kernel module is similar to rlocate), but it just doesn't compile on 2.6.31, because it uses obsolete Linux security framework APIs.
I installed Nagios following the Quick Install method from the Nagios.org web site but now I would like to add and monitor another host.I don�t find a way , I have for example replaced the ip number of the localhost(127.0.0.1 localhost.cfg) for another ip number and I am able to monitor another computer that way. But then I no longer MONITOR the localhost unless I replace the ip number in the localhost.cfg file. what I would like to do is to monitor both or more computers.
i have two linux machines i have installed nagios on only one machine and i am getting graph for that one(localhost).but for the second one(host2) i am not getting the graphs so what should i do.. what should i do to get graphs for othe host (remote machine).
I just installed nagios to a Cent 5.4 box. Everything is working so far except I want to add a plugin I found on nagios exchange. The file has a .pl extension. I am unsure how to add the plugin to the rest of nagios. Do I need to add it to a nagios folder and then define it. If I just try to run the pl file I get a error mesg. I am unsure if the error is caused by system misconfig or because the plugin is not installed. The plugin is check_dayime.pl and the error I get is Can't locate Date/Parse.pm Perl seems to be working as I can run simple perl scripts and perl -v spits out v 5.8.8
setting up Nagios which I have done quite easily, I have only one concern I am not able to setup email Notification from Postfix. I am able to send and receive mails from Postfix internally, I just need to know how to setup Postfix i.e point the server to get NAgios Notification.
Troubleshooting Nagios configuration? I'm already done with the installation and it's working fine. Now I'm working on adding Windows Server in Nagios to be monitored but the problem is my cfg_file=/etc/nagios3/objects/commands.cfg and cfg_file=/etc/nagios3/objects/windows.cfg there's no such /etc/nagios3/objects directory is existing on my nagios directory.
Code: # TIMEZONE OFFSET # This option is used to override the default timezone that this # instance of Nagios runs in. If not specified, Nagios will use # the system configured timezone.
checking of services in Nagios. You all know the check_[service] command right? In the commands.cfg and windows.cfg. To check for the different types of services/ports, we just replace the [service] in check_[service] with the name of the port? I only know of check_http, check_ssh, check_ftp etc. Some ports like Finger, snmp etc, all these we also write it as 'check_finger', 'check_snmp'? 2) And, if that is the case, do we have to install additional plugins to monitor the ports defined earlier? 3) Lastly, if i want to monitor finger,snmp in windows server, would i need to download any software?
What is the simplest way I can get a secure, authenticated SMTP server running on my Linux machine so my family can use it to send mail from hostile networks?
Currently I have exim bound to 127.1:25 so if I can send mail from my laptop using ssh -L2525:localhost:25 wolever.net... But I'd like exim (or some other SMTP server) to bind to, eg, 0.0.0.0:2525 and accept authenticated SMTP connections.
clafiry what this means? It is in my secure log file: xinetd[5544]: START: smtp pid=6574 from=xx.xx.xx.xx xinetd[5544]: START: ftp pid=6465 from=xx.xx.xx.xxThey are repeated in my secure log hundreds of times, one every second or so.Also how can I stop my ftp and smtp service? Tried the usuals:service ftpd stop/etc/init.d/proftpd stopIt's a Fedora server.
