similar to: Nagios, getting started

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

Hi everyone, I am reconsidering how I am using the Puppet nagios functionality, at the moment I am creating one service for each check on each host. A lot of them are identical, and would be better tied to hostgroups to simplify my config. Namely, I have about 5,000 checks in there now which will go up to about 20K over the next month, and it''s taking about 5-10 minutes for a Puppet

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I''me using nagios builtin types and I''m very surprised that the parameter *name* is not available for type nagios_host ?!? This parameter is required to use inheritance (http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/objectinheritance.html) and I don''t understand why it is not included in all nagios types ? Maybe someone has

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

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

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/

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

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

Hi I would like to contribute to the wiki.centos.org: username: boel subject: nagios incompatibility with centos 5.2 location: http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Nagios content: A security feature of centos 5.2 SELinux prevents the access from the apache httpd server to the needed /var/nagios files.

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

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 all, I''ve just merged in support for builtin Nagios types into the 0.24.x branch, and I''d like people to give them a once-over before I incorporate them into a release (based on a few (hopefully small) outstanding bugs in 0.24.1, I expect I''ll put out a 0.24.2 in the next week or so). The only thing I''d currently consider a gotcha right now is that

Hello ! I''m trying to implement a Nagios solution based on David Schmitt''s Complete Config.

Hi Team, I was trying to install the Nagios server in Centos 7. I had downloaded and unzipped the Nagios server and it's plugins file. As per the installation instructions I ran the commands in the concerned folders of ./configure , make , make install for both the core and the Nagios plugins. I am not able to figure out the issue behind that it is not working It did got installed using

Hi *, Does anyone have a lead on a Nagios plugin that speaks IAX or a small app to do so? I'm trying to set up remote monitoring for my Asterisk server and only IAX2 traffic is allowed through the firewall. Simply using check_udp to port 4569 yields no usable answer and Asterisk complains about receiving a midget packet or something like that :) jens

Hi I am trying to implement monitoring of asterisk (all 4 spans-i want to show them line by line Up or down) using nagios using below script, but i always get the status as down and red..can anyone let me know how to read an output from nagios plugin ? nagios etc is configured already and is working PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin FAILS="" STATUS=$(asterisk -rnx "pri

hi, i want to know how i can find a mirror for installing nagios in centos 4. Because when i do yum search nagios or yum install nagios i don't receive a response.I don't know if somebody can give me a website like apt-get.org(unofficial apt repositories). thanks

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

Hi folks, I hope this is the right mailing list to ask since on the repoforge website there is no list or contact information. I have a problem with updating the perl-Nagios-Plugin package. I have installed perl-Nagios-Plugin-0.33-1.el6.rf.noarch, and running yum update leads to: > Error: Package: perl-Nagios-Plugin-0.35-1.el6.rf.noarch (rpmforge) > Requires:
