Re: [Nagios-users-br] Nagios + dashboard + performance

2009-06-16 Thread Cleiton Souza
Geraldo, a instalação do centreon é relativamente simples sim, basta
instalar alguns pacotes que é pré-requisito para o funcionamento do centreon
e depois instalar o centreon que já vem com um scripts de instalação muito
facil de ser usado.
Já instalei varias vezes e nao encontrei nenhuma dificuldade.

De uma olhada depois em http://en.doc.centreon.com/Setup

Quanto ao recurso de tendencia em grafico, não vi este recurso no centreon,
mas como o gerador de grafico é o rrdtool, voce pode customizar seus
graficos sem problemas.

Estou inclusive com planos de fazer esta customização mas ainda nao tive
tempo, se voce customizar por favor nos fale como ficou.

 Posso configurar o Nagios 3.x com o ndoutils e depois colocar o centreon
 por
 cima? É simples assim?

 Tem um produto pago da CA que ganhava do nagios 1.0 customizado que temos
 aqui, em duas coiasa: dashboard e tendências. Nossos gráficos são feitos
 com
 rrdtool e são baseados em dados do passado ou seja, podemos ver o que
 aconteceu com a performance dos servidores. O produto da CA, baseado no
 passado fazia cálculo de tendências, utilizando fórmulas estatísticas...

 Voce sabe se o centreon calcula tendências nos gráficos de performance?

  Olá Geraldo,
 
  Eu uso o Centreon que é um front-end para o nagios, gera graficos de
  performance dos hosts/serviços e utiliza o a base do ndoutils para
 extrair
  os dados.
 
  Eu utilizo a algum tempo e acho muito bom para gerar graficos/relatorios
 e
  monitorar os servidores.

se ler o proprio manual do produto.

Hi

 

For the control of the servers I used in nagios(test) the command
check_nrpe and that running well So, now for the nagios(productive),
I'm thinking which is the best solutions: check_nrpe, check_ssh or SNMP?


Someone says that for security ground we should only use SNMP?

 

Which should I use? What does the expert advise me?

 Hello Nagios Users,
 
 I'm attempting to setup a second nagios server up to do failover monitoring

 Running into a odd problem in talking to the nrpe daemon on the master
 server.
 
 When I run the following cmd prompt, nrpe does not allow me to connect from
 the new host even though it is specified in the master nagios server
 nrpe.cfg file.
 
 SLAVE$ /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nrpe -H 10.10.10.41 -c check_load
 Connection refused by host
 
 However, when i run the same cmd for another host, it returns successfully.
 
 SLAVE:~$ /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nrpe -H 10.10.10.43 -c check_load
 OK - load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00|load1=0.000;15.000;30.000;0;

 **Note thta the IP for the nagios failover server IS listed in the nrpe.cfg

Double-check this with cut 'n paste. 9/10, this is actually the issue but
with a typo somewhere, or the same IP written in both nrpe.cfg files.

Have you checked NagiosExchange?

If the switches have snmp, it may be worth checking to see if they offer 
up any OID on collision statistics and then using an snmp check on that.

Re: [Nagios-users] nagvis requires ndoutils; how stable is ndoutils?

2009-06-16 Thread Kevin Keane
I just installed ndoutils with mysql. There indeed was one pitfall: the 
database is growing quite large very quickly. Eventually, the DB got 
sluggish and couldn't keep up with the data Nagios threw at it (the DB 
server is quite underpowered). It got so bad that after a week or so, 
Nagios wouldn't even start up.

It turned out that it wasn't primarily the database itself, but binary 
logging. It is turned on by default (at least on CentOS) but you only 
need it for replication. If you are not using replication, simply turn 
off binary logging and you should be good to go. At least, I hope so; I 
only made that change yesterday, so I won't know for another week or so.

Rahul Nabar wrote:
 I was tempted to install Nagvis but unfortunately it needs Ndoutils
 which I am not using so far.

 I could install ndoutils but am afraid about breaking my production
 Nagios environment. Especially because of the warning in the ndoutils
 README about the code being alpha/beta quality.

 Any ndoutils users? How stable is it? Any pitfalls while installation?

 Or should I avoid ndoutils entirely? Is there any workaround to get
 Nagvis working?

Re: [Nagios-users] NDO Utils is not running even after repeated attempts

2009-06-16 Thread Kevin Keane
OK, that explains it. Use 127.0.01 instead.

MySQL tries to be smart and in the process confuses everybody; it 
interprets localhost to mean I want to use Unix sockets. But based 
on your configuration file, you obviously want to use TCP sockets. Using 
the IP address instead tells MySQL to use TCP sockets even when 
connecting locally.

And please respond back to the group so others benefit from the answer 
as well.

You want the files to be more confusing then they are now ???
the easiest way is not to give self explanatory names to the files / 
directories .

btw - i have a question about this ...

Why ??

Are you trying to make the work on the configuration worse for yourself ?

that would be the rety interval setting for your check I believe.

 

for example... 

 

check_interval  5   ; Actively check the 
host every 5 minutes
retry_interval  1   ; Schedule host check 
retries at 1 minute intervals

obfuscate as in encrypt or otherwise make illegible if inspected -- no.

Thanks for your reply,

But by the way even though this is thoretically posible , practically this
aint working. The recheck interval is varying . Is this because of huge
number of host being monitored. ?  We have around 700 hosts being monitored.

Re: [Nagios-users] Time diference in Alert History

2009-06-16 Thread Mat W

Well, it's not only the hosts, but the services and their intervals.  It would 
depend somewhat on the spec and memory of the nagios server.  Also... you may 
want to read up on some of these nagios.cfg options so they are optimally 
configured in your environment... 

 

use_large_installation_tweaks

max_concurrent_checks

there's one more i can't think of right now... will have to check the 
documentation about how nagios executes it's checks...

if the idea is for others not to see it... why not just ensure proper file

Assuming only Root and Nagios users can read the file... I'd think anyone that

Re: [Nagios-users] Configuration files obfuscation

2009-06-16 Thread Andrew Davis
One idea that we do here is to chroot the entire nagios dir and all 
related components (mysql, apache, etc). The parent directory of the 
chroot is owned by root and set to 700 perm's. It requires a bit of 
tweaking to get it right and lots of reading through log files to work 
out the inital bugs, but once that's done, it works. For that matter, 
the server itself is virtualized... so its chrooted within a virtualized 
container.


Are you concerned with users getting in through the web page and 
accessing the raw files and then knowing about your inside network or 
employees gaining physical access to the server? The approach to protect 
each is different. Or perhaps you're passing username/password combos in 
some of the cfg files (ie: http testing, etc), so you want to hide that? 
Easier solution is a nagios user with limited access to use for this 
purpose. If you can elaborate on your areas of concern, we could 
probably offer further input.

 downtime (eg. network department changing fibre links, they know when
 this will happen, so _they_ should be able to schedule a downtime, not
