Passive checks work once then timeout for the next 2 minutes

Post by octom »

This is happening with calls to both send_nsca and send_nrdp.php.

I can send one passive alert from a remote host and it works fine.

Any other sends in the next two minutes will time out.

After two minutes a send will succeed again, but then another two minutes must pass before another send will work.

This seems to affect messages from any remote hosts. Once a passive alert is processed from one host, no other remote hosts can send alerts for two minutes.

I know I have a lot more investigating to do on my own, including upgrading core from a 4.0 version, but I was wondering if anyone had seen this before and could provide some direction for diagnosis.

One potential source of the problem is that the monitoring server is running on a VM which is using IP tables on the hypervisor to forward messages on either port 5667 for NSCA or 80 for NRDP.

Does this symptom sound familiar to anyone?.

Do you see errors...anywhere? It's pretty much the end of our work day, so any errors we'll take a look at tomorrow, but you should take a look at https://support.nagios.com/kb/article.php?id=480 to give you an idea of some places where you might see some errors (and a potential fix).

No errors. The first alert shows up in the correct logs, but subsequent alerts don't show up anywhere for 2 minutes. It is possible that the nagios monitor on the VM doesn't see alerts in a two minute window following a successful alert. I will run some packet captures to confirm or refute that theory. But if that is the case, I have no idea what would cause that behavior so my only question at this point is if anyone has encountered this anomaly and if so, what was done to address it.

Do you see the data show up in the check results folder on the Nagios server from the remote servers during the 2 minutes when nothing is displayed in the GUI?
Can you post your nagios.cfg file so we can view it's settings?
Also, run the following command as root in the Nagios server and post the output.

Code: Select all

ps -ef --cols=300
Thanks

I ran a tcpdump and for nsca nothing gets through to port 5667 during the two-minute window. So I am assuming this is some networking and/or/ vm issue.

But to answer your questions, nothing shows up in the check logs during the dead two minutes.

Here is my nagios.cfg:

Re: Passive checks work once then timeout for the next 2 min

Was the tcpdump taken on the Core side or client side? If Core, try running it on the client side to see if it's making any attempt to connect to Core or if you see anything else that's odd.

Captures wre taken on both the core side and the hypervisor between the core and the client. During the two minute "radio silence" the hypervisor sees traffic but the Core VM does not.

I'd agree then that this appears to be a networking issue. Hopefully the networking team will be able to help track down these missing packets.
