# Other Setting

# hostgroups

This directive is used to identify the short name(s) of the hostgroup(s) that the host belongs to. Multiple hostgroups should be separated by commas. This directive may be used as an alternative to (or in addition to) using the members directive in hostgroup definitions.

Service Definition

 

一個 Host 可以有多個 Service

define service  {
        use                             service-smtp
        host_name                       myserver

        # 個別設定這 service 通知其他人
        contact_groups                  notifybyemailgroup
}

 

# Service check period

# check

# check_interval: (minutes)

scheduling the next "regular" check of the service.

# retry_interval: (minutes)

interval when they have changed to a non-OK state.

當 retry 的次數到達 "max_check_attempts" 時, 那 interval 會用返 "check_interval"

# max_check_attempts:

Nagios will retry the host check command if it returns any state other than an OK state.

Setting "1" will cause Nagios to generate an alert without retrying the service check again.

# check_period:   

active checks of this host can be made.

i.e.

check_interval            5
retry_interval            1
max_check_attempts        5
check_period              24x7

 


Notification

 

notifications_enabled 0/1

Note: If you have state retention enabled, Nagios will ignore this setting when it (re)starts and
  use the last known setting for this option (as stored in the state retention file),
 unless you disable the use_retained_program_state option.

notification_interval minutes

Resend notifications every N minutes

first_notification_delay N

# "time units" to wait before sending out the first problem notification
# when this service enters a non-OK state.

notification_period  timeperiod_name

  • 24x7            ; Send host notifications at any time

notification_options [d,u,r,f,s]

  • w = send notifications on a WARNING state,
  • u = send notifications on an UNREACHABLE state,
  • c = send notifications on a CRITICAL state,
  • d = send notifications on a DOWN state,
  • r = send notifications on recoveries (OK state),
  • f = send notifications when the host starts and stops flapping

Example

# 當 Service 死時, 只會在 15 min 後才有 Alarm

first_notification_delay 15

Log

# 每次出 notification 都會有 log

grep NOTIFICATION /var/log/nagios/nagios.log

 


Simple Example

 

# host

define host{
    use                linux-server
    host_name          ns1.mydomain.net       # Web Panel 及 設定會同到
    alias              mydomain               # 在 E-Mail notification 會見到
    address            x.x.x.x
    #hostgroups         hostgroup_name        # 如果不在這裡定義, 那可以在 hostgroup 的 members 設定
}

# hostgroup

define hostgroup{
    hostgroup_name     hostgroup_name
    alias              alias
    members            host1, host2, host3 ...
    hostgroup_members  hostgroups
    notes              note_string
    notes_url          url
    action_url         url
}

 

# contact

define contact{
    contact_name                   contact_name
    email                          email_address

    host_notifications_enabled     [0/1]
    service_notifications_enabled  [0/1]

    alias                          alias

    contactgroups                  contactgroup_names

    use                            generic-contact         ; Inherit default values (defined above)

    host_notification_period       timeperiod_name
    service_notification_period    timeperiod_name
    host_notification_options      [d,u,r,f,s,n]
    service_notification_options   [w,u,c,r,f,s,n]

    host_notification_commands     command_name
    service_notification_commands  command_name

    pager                          pager_number or pager_email_gateway
    addressx                       additional_contact_address
    can_submit_commands            [0/1]
    retain_status_information      [0/1]
    retain_nonstatus_information   [0/1]
}

addressx

These addresses can be anything - cell phone numbers, instant messaging addresses, etc.
used to send out an alert to the contact.
Up to six addresses can be defined using these directives (address1 through address6).
The $CONTACTADDRESSx$ macro will contain this value.

can_submit_commands

the contact can submit external commands to Nagios from the CGIs

External applications can submit commands by writing to the command_file,

which is periodically(command_check_interval) processed by the Nagios daemon

External commands format

[time] command_id;command_arguments

retain_X_information

status-related / non-status information about the contact is retained across program restarts

This is only useful if you have enabled state retention using the retain_state_information directive.

This is the file that Nagios will use for storing status, downtime, and comment information before it shuts down.

retain_state_information=1                             # Default: 1
state_retention_file=/var/log/nagios/retention.dat
retention_update_interval=60                           # Unit: minutes

# contactgroup

define contactgroup{
    contactgroup_name  novell-admins            ; 必須
    members            jdoe,rtobert,tzach       ; 必須
    alias              Novell Administrators
}

Variables

 

  • $ARG1$                  <-- "!" 隔開的 input ($ARG1$ through $ARG32$)
  • $HOSTNAME$          <-- host_name directive
  • $HOSTALIAS$          <-- alias directive
  • $HOSTADDRESS$     <-- address directive

 


Check Host without Ping

 

方法1

http://xxxx/nagios/cgi-bin/extinfo.cgi?type=1&host=myserver

"Submit passive check result for this host"

在 "Check Output" 填上 "check_tcp -p 80"

That only updates the status once

方法2

修改 templates.cfg

define host     {
    name                            server-medium-noping
    use                             generic-host
    check_period                    24x7
    check_interval                  6
    retry_interval                  1
    max_check_attempts              6
    check_command                   check-host-alive-noping
    notification_period             period-medium
    notification_interval           30
    notification_options            d,u,r
    contact_groups                  server-admin-group
    register                        0
}

commands.cfg

# Dummy SUCCESS command, used for host we no means of checking
define command{
    command_name server-medium-noping
    command_line $USER1$/check_dummy 0
}

Usage:

# check_dummy <integer state> [optional text]
# 0 => OK
# 1 => WARNING
# 2 => CRITICAL
# 4 => UNKNOWN

之後用新的 "server-medium-noping" 去 define Server

define host     {
        use                             server-medium-noping
        host_name                       myserver
        alias                           myserver
        address                         x.x.x.x
}

 


Disable Flap Detection

 

flapping occurs when a service or host changes state too frequently

=> resulting in a storm of problem and recovery notifications.

enable_flap_detection 0

Nagios checks to see if the services has flapping by last 21 service checks

Since we keep the results of the last 21 service checks in the array (there is a possibility of having 20 state changes.)

calculated amount of change in state over a period of time to determine whether or not a service is flapping

more recent state changes are given more weight than older state changes

when calculating the overall or total percent state change for a particular service.

# If a host was previously not flapping and its total computed state change percentage is
# equal to or greater than "high_host_flap_threshold"
# Nagios considers the host to have just started flapping

high_host_flap_threshold=50

# If the host was previously flapping and
# its total computed state change percentage is less than or equal
# Nagios considers the host to have just stopped flapping

low_host_flap_threshold=25
