I'm familiarizing myself with Opsview from the provided VM appliance,
and I've gotten to the point where it may just be quicker to get
answers
from the list here as I'm not having any luck searching around online.
1) Event Handlers. /usr/local/nagios/libexec/eventhandlers/ is empty
on
the VM image. Is this specific to the VM image or does Opsview not
come
with any event handlers? I was under the impression that nagios
packaged
basic event handlers with its distribution.
What do you want to do in your event handler? Basic things like store
state changes in a DB are already done.
2) SMNP polling. How can I get the performance data to have a label
other than iso_whatever? I'd rather use the snmp poll to set up a
check
rather than creating a script, but the OID takes up so much area on
the
graph.
We'd have to create a new field to pass the performance label to the
check_snmp plugin - I've recorded in https://secure.opsera.com/jira/browse/OPS-1159
3) Performance data uom. The Nagios documentation says that it only
defines a handful of unit of measurements ( '', 's', '%', 'B', and
'c')
for performance data. However, the graphs coalesce all performance
data
from a given unit of measurement into a single graph. Would Opsview
handle arbitrary strings if I appended a different string to the data,
thus separating it into a different graph, or would it just refuse to
graph the data?
We try to combine the graphs together and using the same unit of
measurement seemed the most sensible choice. You should be able to add
extra graphs with the separate data points and get a new overall page
URL to describe them.
4) SNMP community. Is there a way to easily change the SNMP
community on
a group of devices, either by inheriting the community from a host
template, or by doing a global replace on every device with a given
password? I can fall back to the database and run a UPDATE SET
snmp_community = WHERE snmp_community = but I'd like to work through
the
GUI as much as possible.
No, we don't have a GUI option for doing that. A db change is valid.
