The usual IT babble
Nagios Hostgroup Inheritance (continued)
Well, it turns out that my thought was ultimativly flawed. When defining the hostgroup_members in the lower tiers, nagios is association the checks from the lower tier with the upper tiers. Thus propagandating all checks upwards, and me ending up with ~250 checks instead of ~150.
Gonna have to try to define the dependency backwards, maybe that’ll help. But that’s a topic for Monday. Guess I’ll finish viewing Ghost in the Shell – Stand Alone Complex first.

AutoYAST and custom swap partitioning
about 3 months ago - Comments Off
Well, we’ve been discussing our swap partitioning the last few days at work, and I finally got around to implementing it. Again, it proved to be kinda hard, basically because AutoYAST decides to do things differently. After trying different things, I came up with this: <rule> <memsize> <match>32767</match> <match_type>greater</match_type> </memsize> <result> <profile>system/swap/32G.xml</profile> <continue config:type="boolean">false</continue> <dont_merge
SLES10 not installing boot loader in MBR
about 3 months ago - Comments Off
Well, as I mentioned in my earlier post, I had some trouble during the week. I was having issues with SLES10 installations not finishing during the bootloader installation phase. After trying out different flavors (as in 10SP2 x64/x86, …), and not having any luck with this, I went searching on Google as a last effort
Monitoring Brocade FC switches with SNMP/Nagios
about 8 months ago - Comments Off
I looked into the mess a bit more, and as it turns out, the weird crap I was talking about only happens if you have a port with LossofSynchronization, LossofSignal or LinkFailures value with the base of ten (i.e. 10, 101 or 10.000). Additionally, the OID’s for those three failure elements seem to be dependent
Monitoring Brocade FC switches with Nagios
about 9 months ago - Comments Off
The last four days I spent looking for ways on monitoring a Brocade Fibrechannel switch (in my case IBM 2145 B32/F40). The first thing I came up with, is using SNMP. As it was already configured for the previous monitoring with Munin, getting information should be quite easy. After looking through Google for a bit,
Configuring nagios-plugins-zypper
about 10 months ago - Comments Off
Since I’m running check_zypper via nrpe (which in turn runs as nobody), I need to set up sudo. In order for the plugin to work, we need to add the following line to /etc/sudoers (by means of visudo): nobody ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/zypper sl, /usr/bin/zypper –non-interactive –no-gpg-checks –terse list-updates (Keep in mind this needs to
Creating a custom RPM repository for SMT
about 10 months ago - Comments Off
I spent some time yesterday figuring out ways on how to assign custom (as in self-built) RPMs to a installation using SMT. First you obviously need a “external” repository, that can be integrated into the SMT. So we need to create repository someplace, where the SMT can go and grab it. I ain’t gonna cover
Loooong time
about 11 months ago - 1 comment
It’s been very quiet around here, I’ve been rather busy with my real life. During that busy time, a lot of things happened. I switched jobs starting on October 1st, I’m now working in Karlsruhe (as compared to the 870km northern Greifswald). It may sound far, but it’s actually quite pleasant. You know, I was
Praxisbuch Nagios by Tobias Scherbaum
about 1 year ago - Comments Off
Tobi recently finished writing yet another book, which he also talked about in a blog post. Shortly after, I asked him a rather curious question. What exactly is the plant or animal on the cover of the book ? He was kind enough to send a voucher copy of the book my way. He actually
