  • check_dell flags unknown on Power Management
    Post date: Wednesday, October 19, 2011 - 17:24

     Hi - got an issue with check_dell // OpenManage on servers with single PSU's -- In OpenManage, Power Management is 'unknown' and reports:

    "power consumption information is not available on this system because all the power supply units on your system do not support PMBus or the firwmare on your system does not support power monitoring."

    This then 'breaks' check_dell constantly - which is annoying - I've spoken to DELL a fair bit and it's not possible to switch off Power Management monitoring -- so can we set an exception in the check_dell NRPE definition at all?!

  • Folder with username was created, but user is not shown in control panel
    Post date: Monday, October 17, 2011 - 22:01

    Hi,

     

    today I updated Copssh to version 4.2.0.

     

    Now I have a problem.

     

    When I add a new user, the folder (with the choosen username) in C:\Program Files\ICW\home was created, but the user is not shown in the control panel.

     

    I can add the same again and it is shown in the control panel, but it is not possible to connect to it. For authentication i choose public key and I allways get "Server refuse your key" in Putty.

    Post date: Friday, October 14, 2011 - 21:57

    I installed Copssh, and added an existing User in Copssh Control Panel. I ensured the Password Authentication checkbox is checked. I restarted the computer. I attempt to connect via SSH (from the same machine) using the following command:

     

    C:\Program Files\ICW\bin>ssh 123@localhost
    123@localhost's password: Permission denied, please try again.
    123@localhost's password: Permission denied, please try again.
    123@localhost's password: Permission denied
    (publickey,password,keyboard-interactive).

  • check_oracle sqlplus sessions hanging
    Post date: Thursday, October 13, 2011 - 15:25

    Hi,

     

    For a long time I am using the check_oracle scripts. But I notice a small problem which could be very anoying. As far as I know it has no workaround.

    The tooling is good to use. Only when one or multiple timeouts occur in the sqlplus, this session will hang in the processes of windows and will not stop.

    After a while it could happen 10 or more sqlplus sessions are stuck and need to be killed manually. (eventually it could overload the server on sqlplus.exe sessions)

  • Winrpe hangs
    Post date: Wednesday, October 12, 2011 - 12:31

    Hello,

    I have installed Winrpe on a number of machines with Win2k3 R2 and noticed that the service hangs from time to time(usually once a day). I have noticed that Winrpe does not correctly close TCP sockets - if there are more than five, Windows does not allow any new conections, and the check fails. Netstat shows that in such a situation there are 5 connections on CLOSE_WAIT status to the monitoring machine.

  • "...looks like orphaned, Results never came back" -> My Nagios isn`t working - even a Re-Install won`t work
    Post date: Tuesday, October 11, 2011 - 11:22

    Hello there,

    i`m really disapointed. My first Nagwin Installation was on a Windows2003 Member-Server in my Domain. In Case of a new Role i had to move Nagwin to a dedicated Machine.

    I installed a clean Windows2003 SP2 with all available Updates, Installed the latest Release of Nagwin and patched it with all available patches. Then i installed 2 Plugins for Printer-Checks via SNMP and my Config-Files.

    That worked for Hours, and then: nothing. Logfile shows the following:

  • Need to disable SSH1 protocol
    Post date: Thursday, October 6, 2011 - 15:49

    Hello-

    Please forgive this (hopefully) easy question.

    I'm running COPSSH on a windows server 2008 platform.  Using this for BackupAssist remote backup program, downloaded their version and it installed a group of programs including COPSSH, CYGWIN and OPENSSH.

    Look to be version 2.1.0 of COPSSH

    Everything works fine --- I can SSH into my server using PUTTY.EXE.

     

    Problem - I need to disable SSH1 protocol.

    I modified the \etc\sshd_config and changed the line

    #Protocol 2,1

    changed it to:

    #Protocol 2

    Post date: Wednesday, October 5, 2011 - 03:26

    I am getting a whole lot of notificaitons for Non-Running services and they are being labeled as CRITICAL.

    In services, I have non running services whos Startup Tyoe are "Manual" and not running.

    I'm trying to find out the best way to resolve this issue and clear the notification.

    After getting ssh to accept connections from the outside world by opening up a port on the windows box, I am now having problems getting RDC working.

    I can log in and get the terminal on the windows 7 box.  However, when launching RDC, I get:

  • can ssh out, but not into Windows 7
    Post date: Friday, September 30, 2011 - 03:44

    I installed copssh on windows 7.

    disabled the user access controls, then added a user.  The control panel force you to select a domain.  The computer is set up without a domain, and the control panel has only one option under domain, wich is the name of the computer.  I am giving this as background, I'm not sure if this has anything to do with my issue.

    The service is running.

  • custom variable definition
    Post date: Monday, September 26, 2011 - 10:02

     Hello all,

    I want to define a custom variable in contactgroups.cfg file like below:

    define contactgroup{

            contactgroup_name       admins

    _CG_ID 1

            alias                   administrators

            members                 linuxad, windowsad

    When I verify the config file it gives me an error:

    I tried the same in Nagios on Ubuntu and it is not complaining. Do you have any suggestions?

    This has got to be something simple but I just don't see it.

    Config:

    I have installed RSYNC on a linux server to pull data.  I then set up another linux server to try and pull from the first server but keep receving a Password Authentication problem.  I have tried a new installaiton from a windows system and receive the same problem.  I am using the root id and password.

    The syntax I am using is as follows:

    rsync -avz -e ssh root@XX.XX.XX.XX:/shared/ /shared

    Does anyone know why this is happening?
