hello,Pascal,
  I figured certain things out.
The problem here is that with the "Sendmsg" syntax, it's written by someone
else in my company who poked his itchy fingers into my linux server. Hence,
I have that problem I told you as I have always been importing my *.cfg
files from one NAgios Installation to another.

  Anyway, I got that problem cleared out but deleting the line ,
"event_handler senderrmsg" in the services.cfg file.

 However, I notice that NAGIOS now successfully sends warnings about HOST
problems but not about SERVICES problems. 

For example, 
     I have 4 servers that are currently down right now(really!). I don't
get any emails from NAGIOS about the PING SERVICES that failed on all 4
servers. I only get the emails for the HOST DOWN status...

please advice,Pascal. Merci.

Regards,
 Kin Meng.

RH 7.3 ... Well, I don't run RH anymore. I switched to Debian (years
ago) and Mandrake ("new" happy user).

But, anyway, on Mandrake I installed the following (from RPM) in order
to have check_radius compiling and working:

[check_radius]# rpm -qa | grep radius
libradius0-0.3.2-1mdk
radiusclient-utils-0.3.2-1mdk
libradius0-devel-0.3.2-1mdk

As you can see, I have also libradius0-devel installed. I tought it was
better to have it (header files, etc...) in order to compile.

Hope it helps.
Pascal

I can't for the life of me to get configure pick up that radiusclient=20
libraries.  I've installed radiusclient from rpm, compiled it from=20
source and anything else I could think of.  How do I tell configure to=20
pick up the radiusclients files that it needs and build the Makefile so=20
it will build radiusclient?  I'm building on RedHat 7.3.  Thanks for any

help regarding this.

Subject: [Nagiosplug-help] check-radius and attributes

Hi
 currently check_radius sends User-Name and Password attributes to the
radius server. I need it to send the NAS-IP-Address too. I tried hacking
the sources, but I got only a segmantation fault :-( Is it possible to
send this attribute too (via external file or parameter) or simply use
the radiusclient instead of the check-radius ?

Thanks in advance

Giuliano

Subject: [Nagiosplug-help] Check-all script

Hi! 

I'm about to move from our BMC Patrol enviroment to Nagios. We have 
about 600 Solaris (Sparc) 
machines and I wonder if it's possible to run this enviroment with 
active checks (with NRPE) with 
one monitor server.

With the host checks and service checks (about 5-10 per machine) we 
would get about 5000 NRPE
requests. If we would like to check CPU load serval times per hour we 
would get a huge scheduling
queue on the Nagios server.

Now to the questions/(solutions)! :)

1) Is it ok to run tests such as CPU load, swap, disk usage as 
passive checks. Would this make
    the queue on the server faster/more efficiant?

2) If we run a distributed monitoring enviroment; do we have to 
configure the hosts and services on 
    the central server and in the check-only server?

3) To optimize the NRPE check procedure, would it be a good idea to 
make a "check-all" script?
    This script would include all the checks and write a error 
message only for the service down.
    The script would check cpu load, swap, memory usage, disk usage, 
etc. 

Best regards
Jesper Rooth

Subject: [Nagiosplug-help] SENDMSG

Hi,all,
 I've got NAGIOS running pretty well. Need to ask a question regarding the
"sendmsg" plugin which is supposed to be in the "libexec" directory. I
notice that my new installation of NAGIOS doesn't send mails out and from
the log file(nagios.log), NAGIOS isn't able to send mails out because
"sendmsg" is not available in the "libexec" directory.
I have installed many versions of the plugins in the NAGIOS webpage but it
hasn't been successful.
please help.

Regards,
Gordon Yeong.

Hi,

I understand that your nagios server isn't able to send notifications
via an Email ?
Note that mails are sent by the command /bin/mail, and this feature is
managed into the misccommands.cfg file.

What you can first try, is to manually send an Email to your contact,
and see if this works. If no mail are received, may be you should
configure your MTA, certainly sendmail, to see what happend.

HTH

Date: Mon, 9 Dec 2002 12:48:05 +0100


Well... Not sure it will help you...

Below is my check_radius settings

Add this in ../etc/checkcommands.cfg
#
#   Get tarball nagios Contrib plugins and compile check_radius.
#   Make sure you installed libradius-client and libradius-devel, needed
to compile this stuff.
#
define command {
command_name                    check_radius
command_line                   $USER1$/check_radius $ARG1$ $ARG2$
$HOSTADDRESS$ $ARG3$ $ARG4$
}

Add this into ../etc/services.cfg

define service {
use                            generic-service          ; Name of
service template to use
host_name                      radius-server-name
service_description            RADIUS
is_volatile                    0
check_period                   24x7
max_check_attempts             3
contact_groups                 linux-admins
notification_interval          120
notification_period            24x7
notification_options           c,r
check_command
check_radius!myuser at mydomain.org!mypasswd!1812!secretkey
}

You problem is that you need to pass more parms than checkcommands.cfg
radius config allows...
Well, just add more $ARGn$ ???

Let's see how check_radius is compiled:
../libexec/check_radius --help
Usage: ./check_radius username passwd servername nas_port_id secretkey
[ppphint] [nasname]

Hum... Username is $ARG1$, password is $ARG2$, forget $HOSTADDRESS$
which is passed by the services.cfg config,
Radius Auth port is $ARG3$, the secret key is $ARG4$.

What about the [ppphint] stuff?=20
Well, just bypass it with quotes. At the command line try:
./check_radius username passwd servername nas_port_id secretkey ''
your-nas-name,
And look at the radius server log to see if it works. (Works here on my
configured radius and Nagios boxes).

If so, try to modify your checkcommands radius config like that:
$USER1$/check_radius $ARG1$ $ARG2$ $HOSTADDRESS$ $ARG3$ $ARG4$ $ARG5$
$ARG6$
   $ARG5$ would be the [ppphint]
   $ARG6$ would be the nas name.
And do not forget to modify services.cfg as well:
check_command
check_radius!myuser at mydomain.org!mypasswd!1812!secretkey!''!nas-name
Or even
check_command
check_radius!myuser at mydomain.org!mypasswd!1812!secretkey!!nas-name
Sorry I can't test the latest hack myself, I have only one nagios
instance running and I can't afford to have down time recorded for this
customer service.

Godd luck and have a nice day.
Pascal

It depends on your hardware, and how it reports, 
 
The SNMP plugin on Compaq Servers - with the Management Agents installed -
can do it via SNMP, and I presume with other major hardware manufacturers
can do it also.
 
Get a SIDWalker to check the SNMP information available to you.
 
For Compaq : The OID .1.3.6.1.4.1.232.6.2.x should get you started in the
right place.
 
1.3.6.1.4.1.232.6.2.6.4.0 is a fan status for instance.
 
There is a web page with a lot of information, but i cant remember the name
right now, it appeared in a nagios mailing list previously, so you could do
a search.

Welcome. I've also got a patch I was working on (and have just updated
to patch against 1.7) to add checking for authorative responses (I
need to check that my auth machines are actually being authorative)
and making a particular type of query. It's available from;
