I'm trying to setup my test nagios to check the disk space of another linux box. I've got it setup and checking. But to my surprise, it was checking the nagios server's local disk space instead of the remote linux.
Here is my services.cfg.
define service{
use basic-service
name disk-space
check_command check_local_disk!20%!10%! /
[Code].....
My question is about checking remote services under Nagios. I have installed nrpe and the standard plugins on my Nagios server (RHEL 5.4) and the systems I want to monitor. I have been able to create hostgroups. I am somewhat confused as to how to add a new service. I want to check to see if tomcat is running on the remote servers. I found a plugin check_procs. If I run the following command on one of the remotes it works.
Quote:
check_procs -u tomcat6
PROCS OK: 1 process with UID = 101 (tomcat6)[code].....
It doesn't work. I'm not sure how to format the service.I've found gobs of documentation on how to setup and install Nagios, done. I've not been so lucky on how to setup a new service.
Yesterday i install nagios, after that i can successfully monitor my local machine disk usage and its services, but now i want to monitor remote host, but have no idea how to do this , i also google alot but not getting resource full explanation.so please guys tell me how can i monitor the remote host using nagios..

Is this possible that a process running on a remote-host only inform nagios when some thing is wrong. Rather then nagios-monitoring-server checking through NRPE every so often. Reason is I want to add too many alerts in the application. And I don't want a whole list of ok messages.
View 1 Replies View RelatedWe are using Nagios to monitor our servers. One of the items we monitor is the diskspace. We use the following code in our config file:
Code:
define service{
use generic-service,srv-pnp
host_name servername
service_description C: Drive Space
check_command check_nt!USEDDISKSPACE!-l c -w 80 -c 90
code....
The check for the C-drive works fine. The check for the D-drive gives "Free disk space : Invalid drive".
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?

View 2 Replies View RelatedSometimes at startup I get this message "Checking disk 1 of 1". Does that mean it's checking all partitions on the hd? After a bad shutdown there is no prompt for fsck to run and the system just boots up. In fstab I have both options set to "1" for the partition Ubuntu is on, all others set to "0". Any ideas on both?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am trying to install CentOS 5.2, and the installation ran out of disk space after running for about 2 hours.I checked the FAQ, and it said 1.2 GB. The disk is 3 GB. The default install was selected, and I think that it checks for sufficient available disk space before installing. Still, it ran for quite a while before announcing that it was out of disk space.The Installation Guide is not very helpful, since there is a blank page where the disk space requirement is supposed to be. I just picked the default installation. A search of the forums on "not enough disk space" did not return much.

Saying that the problem is only with ssh would be wrong as I can't seem to telnet or ftp it either. But I can ping it fine.When I try to login to that VM through console, it won't even let me login. The screen would flash for a sec and the same login prompt would reappear. I am not sure what exactly happened as it was working fine before.

I don't understand what is the problem. Its not configured properly how do i configure it?
I've setup vsftpd correctly and it's running fine with local users (in the same LAN). However, when remote users wanna login to the server, it takes more than 1 minute to get in. Users do can login from remote. It just took too long. (It prompted for the username and password very fast.) Since the server is behind a router, I did configure the port forwarding for TCP 20-21. The centos version is 5.3. The vsftpd is v2.0.5.

Is strange but my telnet services works (telnet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx), In addition, i tried with firewall enabled and disabled and the problem still happens. My centOS run on virtualbox.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am running centos 5. So far, it gives no problem but just yesterday, when it reported "no free space" for file writing, I try to remove some file as usual. Unfortunately this time no matter how much files I had deleted, it just keep showing no available space for doing so.

Can some one tell me how many space does a plan CentOS 5.4 take and the minium size of the memory.
Also, what is the minium size I have to partition on /boot
I am running Centos 5.5 in vmware and recently had to increase my disk space from 20GB to 40GB. I understand that in linux, the increased disk space is not automatically reflected but as I am new to this topic, I am not sure how I can go about doing this. how to see what's the available space and how I can partition(?) this.
For your reference:
[root@localhost ~]# fdisk -l
Disk /dev/sda: 42.9 GB, 42949672960 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 5221 cylinders

Need to know if there are any known errors allocating disk space using rsync. I have recently setup a small file backup server (2 500GB drives) running Centos 5.2, with a rsync daemon (via xinetd). However I have noticed that after about a week of usage, if I reboot, then the disk that rsync uses, has a lot of multiply claimed blocks and inode errors, such that I have to run fsck multiple times to fix. This has happened a couple of times now so I don't think that its random.

I've added a new LUN to my Centos 5.2 server using Powerpath and have added it to an ext3 logical volume. I extended the logical volume using lvextend and the new space shows up correctly in lvdisplay. What I'm having problems with is getting Centos to see the new disk space (df -h shows 500GB, not 600GB as expected). I've tried running a resize2fs on the new volume but it tells me that "the filesystem is already n blocks long. Nothing to do". Does any one know where I'm going wrong? If possible I'd like to sort this without a reboot.

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.

View 1 Replies View RelatedSince a week or 2 Nagios is constantly marking hosts (servers mainly but also a few Serial-over-IP converters) down for anything up to a few minutes. Typically, all services stay in OK status. Looking closer at a host in such state, it's status information is
CRITICAL - Packet Filtered (<IP address of host in question>)
in soft state. Sometimes services are in critical state with the host in OK status. Almost always the status information is "No route to host". Further checking shows no problems. Rarely this state lasts longer than one check interval. This started after a link was down, putting, correctly, all hosts and services on red for being unreachable. The link problems were solved within a few hours but Nagios only showed this after 2 reboots. Since then the problems has lessened in frequency gradually, from 5 to 10 of the 34 hosts being reported down at any given moment (the same for the 150-ish services monitored) to where I am now, 1 to 5 problem statuses (counting both hosts and services) and the occasional 'all green' screen. A week ago, when the problems were going a week already, Nagios updated from 3.2.0 to 3.2.1. This showed no apparent improvement.
Still, the Host Groups screen is not stable. A read or yellow status initially signified a problem to be looked at, right now it is likely a false alarm to will go away. Whenever the "packet filtered" or "no route to host" is followed up by a ping test, no problems, not even with the slightest delay or packt loss are found.
I have installed nagios successfully also able to monitor windows hosts. but not able to monitor linux hosts. i have follow below procedure, installation part and evertything was ok.but still i am not able to see linux host under nagios. i followed below url for monitor linux hosts on nagios.URL...

I am using nagios to monitor a local host and a remote host in a vmware, where both the machines working in CentOS. Now i need to monitor MySQL in my local host so that i should know whether MySQL is up and running. I came across some plugins like
check_MySQL_health
check_MySQL_status
check_MySQL_stat.
While i was trying to install check_MySQL_health, i cant get clear description about the installation and i got stuck with that.
