I am trying to resolve why a bunch of our monitored sites are failing webinject test case 1, and the thing I see in the nagios.los is:

Code: Select all

ndomod: Still unable to connect to data sink. 148730520 items lost, 5000 queued items to flush.

Is this an issue? Or something that is probably unrelated?

Either way, where can I dive into what is failing, and possibly determining what the tests are failing?

Try running the following commands in this particular order:

Code: Select all

service nagios stop
killall -9 nagios
service ndo2db stop
service ndo2db start
service nagios start

Hope this helps.

ndo2db did not exist, but mysqld did, so I stopped nagios, kill -9' nagios services, and then spun up mysqld and then nagios.

I still get:

Code: Select all

[1369775572] ndomod: Still unable to connect to data sink.  12779 items lost, 5000 queued items to flush.

Is it possible this is the issue? Why some sites are reporting failed web injects?

ndo2db would not be an issue with the checks themselves however it is definitely an issue. Just to verify, are you certain you are using Nagios Core and not Nagios XI? It seems odd that you would have mysql and the ndomod without the ndo service. Did you follow an installation guide or something else that you can link us to, to better understand your setup.

What broker are you using?

Code: Select all

grep broker /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg

Are you sure your database credentials are correct?
Also, try restarting ndo2db after you restart nagios.

Code: Select all

service nagios restart
service ndo2db restart

What version of nagios are you running?

the service ndo2db does not exist, which is why I chose to restart mysqld instead...as it looks like the only db server on this box. I never set this box up, just trying to fix/troubleshoot oddities on it now. I don't know if credentials are correct ...

Nagios® Core™ 3.4.1

how about trying these. If one set of three works, do not use the other.

Code: Select all

service ndoutils stop
killall -9 ndo2db
service ndoutils start

/etc/init.d/ndoutils stop
killall -9 ndo2db
/etc/init.d/ndoutils start

took some digging, but I figured out this issue, fixed the sink errors, but I am still seeing false alerts, anything I can do to debug as to why they're falsley alerting, and to what is failing a check?

Also, is it possible to check if io/cpu/memory is an issue?

Posted: **Wed May 29, 2013 3:56 pm**

We can certainly look at load issues. Try the commands below:

Code: Select all

ps ax | wc -l

ulimit -a

cat /proc/loadavg

cat /proc/sys/kernel/threads-max

grep -i rlimit /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf

uptime

free -m

iostat -x

Could you post a few webinject queries that are being used, you can obfuscate any exact URIs, usernames, and passwords if they are listed. It would also be helpful to have an example of what is listed as output from running these same checks.

Is there something else you were looking for specifically related to webinject?
