Hi, I'm looking for a monitoring system that support snmp v3. I want to monitorize linux servers and network switches. Currently, I am trying to use zabbix, but sadly, it lack at present features that I need. For example, I want to get reporting screens with data and graphs from network switches, I'd like to configure one only port of a given switch and that is used as templates for the

Hi I just installed nagios et al[1] in my Centos-5.2 (x86). When I try to test the configuration file it fails[2] with the message "Unexpected token or statement(...)". The line is: command[notify-by-email]=/usr/bin/printf "$OUTPUT$" | /bin/mail -s '$SERVICESTATE$ alert for $HOSTALIAS$/$SERVICEDESC$' $CONTACTEMAIL$ But if I comment this line, then I got the same

Hi Steve Thanks for all your help, i followed your answers and found on that nagios was being run as user nagios....and if i executed the last command it asked for a password [i tried nagios password,root password etc] but it did not work..it the end i opened nagios.cfg and changed the NAGIOS_USER to root and changed the ownership permissons on the script also to root..I now get the correct

When executing the following command : [root at nagios ~]# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H ip_address -c check_asterisk_peers I get the following output : NRPE: Unable to read output Somewhere Nagios does not have enough rights to question Asterisk about the sip peers. These are the rights of the check_nrpe on the Nagios Server : [root at nagios ~]# ls -l

Hello, Has anyone managed a successful installation of Nagios using the RPMForge packages on CentOS 5.5? It looks like it should have worked, I followed the guides for Fedora and CentOS here (with appropriate path adjustments): http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/quickstart-fedora.html http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Nagios The SELinux policies look fine (I tend to ignore instructions to

Hello, I'm trying to run Nagios 3.0.6 on CentOS 5.2 with SELinux in enforcing mode but it is not working. I'm using the following packages: httpd-2.2.3-11.el5_2.centos.4 nagios-3.0.6-1.el5.rf nagios-plugins-1.4.12-1.el5.rf I followed the steps bellow to try to create a selinux policy to Nagios but it is failing. Any help, please? # setenforce Permissive # service nagios start #

Folks: I''ve started to play around with the comprehensive integrated module set from example42 (http://www.example42.com/). Following the instructions, I set up one node as a nagios server, with ''include nagios''. I set up another node to be monitored via nagios, with ''include nagios::target". I set $monitor=true for the base node, which is inherited by

I''m sure people have hit this problem before. In my nagios module, the nagios command pipe file at /var/lib/nagios3/rw/nagios.cmd is owned by the nagios user, but needs to be written to by the www-data user. Adding the www-user to the nagios group is one solution, but that requires that the nagios module potentially modify the www-data user, which seems bad. What''s the best way

On CentOS, I am trying to "yum install nagios" (after adding the rpmforge repository), but every time I run it, I get this message, and am not sure quite what to do. [root at nagios-server ~]# yum install nagios Setting up Install Process Setting up repositories Reading repository metadata in from local files Parsing package install arguments Resolving Dependencies --> Populating

Hi I am trying to build nagios rpm from nagios.spec file on CentOS 5.8. I am getting into issues. nagios.spec http://fpaste.org/crOs/ rpmbuild -ba nagios.spec Executing(%prep): /bin/sh -e /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.36485 + umask 022 + cd /usr/src/redhat/BUILD + cd /usr/src/redhat/BUILD + rm -rf nagios-3.4.1 + /bin/gzip -dc /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/nagios-3.4.1.tar.gz + tar -xf - + STATUS=0 + '['

Thanks for your reply Actually the case is that the compiling process and make all, make install processes didn't report any errors but when I trying to access or start the service Nagios it gives me an error stating it's unable to find that service. This happens with me when I try to manually install the applications from source. Am I missing any important step in the installation

I am using stored configs to manage my nagios host and services checks and I have run into a problem that I have been unable to solve. When the stored configs are purged from puppet the nagios server correctly removes them from the services and hosts file but does not notify the nagios service and instead throws an error. So the entries are still there and nagios still reports on them until

I''m trying to generate (and manage) nagios configuration based on what classes have been included by nodes. I''ve seen the example at http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/exported_resources.html, and I''m doing that now. However, it has some problems: - puppet runs are very slow on the nagios node - when I want to change the service configuration in nagios, I have to wait

Thanks everyone, My problem is solved. yeah...i'm read the nrpe.pdf.

Hi, I''m new to Puppet so may be going about this completely the wrong way, or perhaps it is an selinux problem rather than a Puppet problem. I have a problem copying a file and changing the seltype. I don''t think it is Nagios specific. Code is something like: file { ''/usr/sbin/nrpe'': source =>

Hi, I'm running an Opteron 64 bit server, and in an effort to re-join it to my nagios monitoring, I have tried the install nagios via Yum. When I type: yum install nagios, or nagios-nrpe, or nagios-plugins, I get: "Nothing to do". as output. In wanting to add the DAG repository to my machine, the documentation i've come across seems vague. Can someone advise me on either of
