Hi, I've got Nagios machine which is getting passive notifications from defined hosts via NSCA. Everything would be good, but some hosts get crazy:

I don't understand what is happening, firstly I get sth like that:
Code: Select all

And then I get sth like that:
Code: Select all
Mar 10 20:31:53 nagios nagios: SERVICE ALERT: PN-ACIESIELSKI1;DISK Load C;CRITICAL;SOFT;1;(No output on stdout) stderr: execvp(/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe, ...) failed. errno is 2: No such file or directory

Can anyone tell me WTF???
What else information do you need to help me?

It looks like you've got a mix of nrpe and nsca, if we could start with just one issue first. Could you post one of the nsca configs that is run on your remote systems having issues? Also are you seeing this fairly constantly, or just off and on? Have you noticed any reason or timing for when it does this?

Hi, thanks for your reply. I'm using nsca for monitoring windows hosts (PC and NB) and nrpe for monitoring Windows Serwer hosts.
Here is config from this host (nsclient.ini):

# nscp settings --generate --add-defaults --load-all

I configured NSCA via this procedure:
http://hyper-choi.blogspot.com/2012/07/ ... k-for.html
And, my passive-tpl Template:
Code: Select all
define host{
name passive-tpl ; Nazwa szablonu
use generic-host ;
check_period 24x7 ; Okres sprawdzania hostów, np. 24x7, workhours
check_interval 5 ; Czas następnego sprawdzenia [min]
retry_interval 1 ; Jeśli są problemy z połączeniem do hosta, interwał monitorowania zmniejszamy
max_check_attempts 10 ; Maksymalna liczba prób monitorowania hosta
check_command check-host-alive; Sprawdzenie czy host jest włączony
flap_detection_enabled 0 ; Flap detection is enabled
notification_period 24x7 ; Send host notifications at any time
notification_interval 30 ; odstep pomiędzy powiadomieniami [min]
notification_options d, r ; Powiadomienie gdy pojawi się gdy host będzie w stanie d (DOWN) ;ub r (OK)
contact_groups admins ; Osoby, do których zostanie wysłąne powiadomienie
active_checks_enabled 0 ; Aktywne sprawdzanie hostów - 0 (DISABLED), 1 (ENABLED)
passive_checks_enabled 1 ; Pasywne sprawdzanie hostów - 0 (DISABLED), 1 (ENABLED)
register 0 ; DONT REGISTER THIS DEFINITION - ITS NOT A REAL HOST, JUST A TEMPLATE!
}
I can see this constantly at more hosts. I've got about 100 hosts nagios is monitoring this way. About half of them is working fine, all of these hosts have the same configuration.

EDIT:
Before I made screenshoot CPU Load was OK, and DISK Load C wasn't.
EDIT2:
I think I solved this issue, but don't close this thread, please.
Ok, as you can see, im using two templates at service definition, firs is
generic-service second is
nagiosgraph. In
generic-service template definition I'd got:
Code: Select all
# Generic service definition template - This is NOT a real service, just a template!
define service{
name generic-service ; The 'name' of this service template
active_checks_enabled 1 ; Active service checks are enabled
passive_checks_enabled 1 ; Passive service checks are enabled/accepted
parallelize_check 1 ; Active service checks should be parallelized (disabling this can lead to major performance problems)
obsess_over_service 1 ; We should obsess over this service (if necessary)
check_freshness 0 ; Default is to NOT check service 'freshness'
notifications_enabled 1 ; Service notifications are enabled
event_handler_enabled 1 ; Service event handler is enabled
flap_detection_enabled 1 ; Flap detection is enabled
process_perf_data 1 ; Process performance data
retain_status_information 1 ; Retain status information across program restarts
retain_nonstatus_information 1 ; Retain non-status information across program restarts
is_volatile 0 ; The service is not volatile
check_period 24x7 ; The service can be checked at any time of the day
max_check_attempts 3 ; Re-check the service up to 3 times in order to determine its final (hard) state
normal_check_interval 10 ; Check the service every 10 minutes under normal conditions
retry_check_interval 2 ; Re-check the service every two minutes until a hard state can be determined
contact_groups admins ; Notifications get sent out to everyone in the 'admins' group
notification_options w,u,c,r ; Send notifications about warning, unknown, critical, and recovery events
notification_interval 60 ; Re-notify about service problems every hour
notification_period 24x7 ; Notifications can be sent out at any time
register 0 ; DONT REGISTER THIS DEFINITION - ITS NOT A REAL SERVICE, JUST A TEMPLATE!
}
And I chaned
Code: Select all
active_checks_enabled 1 ; Active service checks are enabled
to
Code: Select all
active_checks_enabled 0 ; Active service checks are enabled
and restarted Nagios process.

Okay, so it looks like a at least couple checks are working, any chance we could get a screenshot of the details on that CPU service that is failing? We need to see the full output of that error return.

Hi, acctually that host is working fine now but I've gto some hosts with that error:

maybe they'll show today as OK
I'll wait and if nothing happen I'll send you log from them.
But, I've got one host (I don't know if there is more), which in nsclient.log has:

It doesn't show acctuall usage of CPU/MEM/HDD at Nagios Console (screen). It shows 'test' status which I added it manually.

The counter based error you are seeing form the nsclient log is fixable by either rebuilding your performance counters, or upgrading to version 4.0.2+ of NSClient++:
http://nsclient.org/nscp/ticket/663
Of course, you could also go with using NCPA, and NRDP based checks that use plugins and do not rely so much on static, hard to change modules.

How can I rebuild my performance counters? By 4.0.2+ version you mean Nagios version or Nagios' Agent (nsclient++) version?
I'm using:
Server: Nagios Core 4.0.3
Hosts/Agents:
Code: Select all
Nsclient++ 0.4.90 x32 at Vista/7/8 hosts
Code: Select all
Nsclient++ 0.3.9 x32 at 2k/2k3/XP hosts
I tried using newest wersion (it was 0.4.90 when I installed Nagios Core) ar all hosts, but it get crasher on XP so I tried older version of agent and 0.3.9 works fine.
EDIT:
Some of these errors were caused by the same IP for a few hosts (my mistake
), some errors gone when I put on hosts new INI files. Tomorow I'll know if problems're gone or not.
EDIT2:
Where can I disable or hange default value of max_packet_age? Some hosts have wrong time and I get:
Code: Select all
Mar 13 12:58:09 nagios nsca[16588]: Dropping packet with future timestamp.
I want to disable it. I found there is possibiliti to do this.

The timestamp issue is actually to do with your nagios box likely being ahead of the windows system. There is not much that can or should be done, short of setting up ntp and making sure your clocks are properly synced.

Oh, I see. So only solution for these issues (timestamp) is to force sync time at hosts to be the same as Nagios' Server. Thanks. I think you can close this thread. If I get new errors I'll search forum for how to fix it, and if i don't find anything helpfull, I'll open new topic.
