[CentOS] somewhat OT -- are .appimage files safe?
Hello all. I'm in the midst of trying to transfer a G+ community to something else. I came across this site-- https://blog.friendsplus.me/export-google-plus-feeds-45926c925891 that actually has an advanced "exporter" app but it is an ".appimage" app. I am not familiar with this at all and was wondering if someone on this list is.

We're running version 2.11 at the office (on CentOS 5.1 x86_64). I've
looked at some of the things in 3.0, but there's nothing there that I needed
yet.
Hopefully you have some way to track changes in /etc/nagios (FSVS is what we
use), because it will make your life much easier to have an audit trail.
We created sub-folders under /etc/nagios to hold the various types of
entities. For example, we have:
/etc/nagios/commands
/etc/nagios/contacts
/etc/nagios/contactgroups
/etc/nagios/hosts-switches
/etc/nagios/hosts-dmz
/etc/nagios/hosts-servers
/etc/nagios/hosts-lan
/etc/nagios/templates-hosts
/etc/nagios/templates-services
We then broke individual elements out of the default massive configuration
folder into individual .cfg files. For example, we chose to create
individual files for each contact rather the putting them all in a single
file. So far it works well, it's a lot easier to get a feel for what users
have been defined, what hosts are defined, what the templates are. Because
when I look in templates-services, I see from the directory listing that I
have service templates named X, Y and Z (without having to open up the file
to look).
We currently put service checks for individual hosts in the same
configuration file as the host. So you will have the following definitions
in a typical host file (until you get into templating):
define host{
define hostextinfo{
define service{
define service{
...
Any plugins that we wrote ourself, we put under a separate folder. Which
keeps them separate from
/usr/local/lib64/nagios-plugins/
Basically, start small, track your changes, and plan on refactoring it in
week #2 after you start monitoring about a dozen hosts. Stay away from
advanced things like escalation, monitoring things like disk space on remote
servers, or the like until you get the basics working.
Oh, and SELinux will probably get in your way. So you'll need to play with
audit2allow to create supplemental policy to give Nagios additional
permissions. (Which may have been due to PEBKAC issues on my end - I plan
on going back and looking at labeling and figuring out what I mislabeled.)
I think that's the majority of the issues that we dealt with in the past 2
weeks. We're now in fine-tuning mode and getting ready to start monitoring
remote services next week.

It's configs take a modular approach, you have monitors, monitors belong in groups, groups have operators/administrators, etc. My big problem with nagios is when I used it last it didn't keep monitor history which makes trending impossible. I eventually went with ipmonitor from solarwinds which has a nice web interface, all the reporting you may want and works pretty much like nagios does, but through a web interface.

There are a few things you still have to edit by hand, but development is very active and most of the configuration has been moved into the web interface. If your switches are common brands, the MIBs will already be included, and if you set the snmp collector to store values for 'all' interfaces it will build graphs for them automatically - or you can let it detect nodes, then follow the admin link for the node and pick the interfaces to collect. If you don't like the default graphs or want to add more, you might need to modify the xml files that describe them. but to start out, just set the snmp defaults and a discovery range and see what it does. -- Les Mikesell [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

For example, I want to get reporting screens with data and graphs from network switches, I'd like to configure one only port of a given switch and that is used as templates for the rest of switch ports and the rest of the switches. I'd like to use some open source software that meet that features, and I want to avoid Nagios :) Could you recommend me someone?

OpenNMS will do most of this automatically if the snmp setup is the same on all the devices. Http://www.opennms.org.
