Apologies. Ignore the below query on perl modules. It's not related. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Ciaran Scolard Sent: 29 June 2010 15:20 To: Opsview Users Subject: [opsview-users] Alert History
Hi All, In opsview 2.x when you attempt to view the alert history for a check it could hang depending on the size of your /usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.log. In my case it was quite large even with daily rotations and the attempt to view the history timed out. Consequently we never use it. Is this behaviour different in opsview 3? I've tried searching but I've not coming up with much relevant information. Regards, Ciaran. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Matt Rose Sent: 29 June 2010 14:23 To: Opsview Users Subject: Re: [opsview-users] Installing additional perl modules onto theOpsview system No, just a handful of CPAN modules. Catalyst has such a large dependency tree that it's likely modules I install and Catalyst or Opsview itself will have common dependencies. If I'm installing them from repositories or CPAN, those dependencies would of course be installed with the module I want due to neither of those tools aware of Opsview's /lib/, resulting in potentially different versions in @INC and in Opsview's /lib/. The only reason I mentioned Catalyst is that I'm pretty certain I saw somewhere opsview-web was a Catalyst app. If I'm wrong, ignore it, and just s/Catalyst/Opsview/. I'm aware of xs recompilation issues and certainly will not be going to 5.10 or 5.12 until Opsview explitly supports it. -Matt -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Ton Voon Sent: Tuesday, June 29, 2010 3:17 AM To: Opsview Users Subject: Re: [opsview-users] Installing additional perl modules onto theOpsview system On 28 Jun 2010, at 23:06, Matt Rose wrote: > > Does anyone have best practice guidelines for installing additional > perl modules onto an opsview server either via package distribution, > cpan, or directly insering .pm files into the @INC path?

We install perl modules in there based on what Opsview needs, or if system supplied ones are downlevel to what we need. The perl modules that we deliver with Opsview go into /usr/local/ nagios/perl/lib. You can install there if you wish, but be aware that (1) we test using the specific files in there, so if you have different versions, then you're on your own!, (2) on an Opsview upgrade, the perl modules will get overwritten (which maybe downgraded or upgraded). You can usually upgrade system level perl modules without issue. There will probably be an issue if you upgrade perl to a major release though, as there are some modules which are compiled against a specific version of perl. You can install additional perl modules under a different location and make sure your @INC has your own area before /usr/local/nagios/perl/ lib to guarantee picking up your libraries first. What do you need the libraries for? You imply you are trying to setup Catalyst?
