Hello CentOS users, I have problems posting the question below to the Nagios mailing list (my subscription is not accepted for some reason).

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

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

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

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 List, I have noted a number of times, various comments on this list about Nagios, hence my questions. just been employed by an ISP and they want to upgrade their fairly extensive nagios monitoring. They are mostly an ubuntu lts shop, so 1st question What advantages does the RH/CentOS world have (if any?) over the ubuntu LTS world? They are talking about running the server on a vm, as I

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

So, my favorite RPM repository (EPEL) only has the ancient nagios-2.12 or so. What's the repo you use for Nagios 3? -- Florin Andrei http://florin.myip.org/

Hi all, I''m working on setting up Puppet to write out my Nagios configs. A few weeks back I inserted a few dummy Nagios checks into my Puppet config, and the Nagios configs were written out properly. I''ve now added loads of Nagios host and service checks like this: @@nagios_service { "check_smtp_${hostname}": check_command =>

So I''m revisiting puppet''s management of nagios now that 0.25.1 is out and I want to say thanks for the updates to all the nagios types. However, there is one huge, gaping hole that''s been asked about before in 2 different threads but that''s never been addressed: object inheritance. For it to work, it requires the object being inherited from to have a

Nagios support "custom object variables" (http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/nagioscore/3/en/customobjectvars.html) buy prefixing them with an underscore: define host{ host_name linuxserver _mac_address 00:06:5B:A6:AD:AA _rack_number R32 } However, I can''t determine how to use these with puppet nagios resources. I''m assuming they aren''t supported, but
