first of all i want to thank all the forum users, cause you help me a lot.
question number 1
-----------------------
when i get the mail with the notifications i don’t get all the information
all i get is
***** Nagios *****
Notification Type: PROBLEM
Service: CHECK_CPU
Host: Stage-Win
Address: xxxxxxxxxx
State: CRITICAL
Date/Time: $
Additional Info:
$
i want those $ signs replaced by the real informations
question 2 [the big one]
i’ve installed nrpe_nt on a windows 2000 host
configured, tested (via command line, BUT on the w2k host)
enabled the host where nagios resides
BUT
the nrpe_nt.log file keep saying that
2006-03-02 17:36:44; 988; 4;Host xxxxxxxxxx is not allowed to talk to us!
any idea?
Look at your misccommands.cfg for your notify-by-email script and fix it.
It’s your macros that aren’t correct. I suspect they are from v1.x and you are using 2.x now.
It should looke something like this:
define command{
command_name notify-by-email
command_line /usr/bin/printf “%b” “***** Nagios ***\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\n\nService: $SERVICEDESC$\nHost: $HOSTALIAS$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nState: $SERVICESTATE$\n\nDate/Time: $LONGDATETIME$\n\nAdditional Info:\n\n$SERVICEOUTPUT$" | /bin/mail -s " $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ alert - $HOSTALIAS$/$SERVICEDESC$ is $SERVICESTATE$ **” $CONTACTEMAIL$
question 2 could be a great number of things. REad the README that comes with nrpe and make sure you did everything.
-
Add a line to your /etc/services file as follows (modify the port
number as you see fit)
nrpe 5666/tcp # NRPE
If your system uses xinetd instead of inetd, you’ll probably
want to create a file called ‘nrpe’ in your /etc/xinetd.d
directory that contains the following entries:
# default: on
# description: NRPE
service nrpe
{
flags = REUSE
socket_type = stream
wait = no
user = <user>
server = <nrpebin>
server_args = -c <nrpecfg> --inetd
log_on_failure += USERID
disable = no
only_from = <ipaddress1> <ipaddress2> ...
}
I suspect nrpe.cfg
allowed_hosts=127.0.0.1
first question -> OK! waiting for the new notific.
2nd question -> working on it
NEW quest.
why does my nagios is one hour ahead? if it’s 8am he says it’s 9am
(the timezone is correct)
what can i do?
Daylight savings problem? There is nothing to set the time in nagios. It gets it with the system. Type:
date
at a command line to make sure it’s setup to correct time.
