HP Insight Control for Linux 6.2 Release Notes

# cp /opt/hptc/nagios/etc/nagios_vars.ini /opt/hptc/nagios/etc/nagios_vars.ini.orig
2. Edit the nagios_vars.ini file to update the values for the *_procs_warning and
*_procs_critical parameters to values that apply to your environment. For example:
[default]
total_procs_warning = 400
total_procs_critical = 500
user_procs_warning = 200
user_procs_critical = 300
zombie_procs_warning = 1
zombie_procs_critical = 5
[service_nodes]
total_procs_warning = 500
total_procs_critical = 600
user_procs_warning = 300
user_procs_critical = 400
zombie_procs_warning = 1
zombie_procs_critical = 5
3. Rebuild the /opt/hptc/etc/sysconfig/vars.ini file and push out the new vars.ini
file to all the managed systems:
# /opt/hptc/nagios/libexec/check_nagios_vars --rebuild
# /opt/hptc/nagios/libexec/check_nagios_vars --update
Vars Warning - icelx[2-6] vars.ini have been resynchronized
NOTE: The vars.ini file is dynamically created from the nagios_vars.ini file, so any
changes to the default Nagios thresholds must be made to nagios_vars.ini, not to vars.ini.
2.6.7 "mcelog" Nagios alerts for the Syslog Alerts service on SLES11 SP1 managed
systems
Nagios periodically calls the /usr/sbin/mcelog utility on managed systems. There is s a
known issue in which programs using mmap to read SMBIOS info (like mcelog) fail when
hp-health is installed.
For example, the following mcelog messages appear in the /var/log/messages and will
cause Nagios to generate an alert.
timestamp system mcelog: Cannot mmap SMBIOS tables at dffff000
Corrective action: Edit the /opt/hptc/nagios/etc/syslogAlertRules file on the CMS
and update the mcelog_error rule as shown below so that Nagios alerts are not generated for
the mcelog: Cannot mmap SMBIOS tables syslog event.
rule mcelog_error {
name (!/Cannot mmap SMBIOS tables at/)
relevance ($subsystem =~ /mcelog/)
format "$timestamp $message"
}
2.6.8 The nrg --mode analyze command fails on SLES11 SP1 with can't
locate ioctl.ph message
Running the nrg command with the --mode analyze option to generate an analysis of Nagios
plug-ins by managed system fails and generates output resembling the following:
