Re: [Nagios-users] Installing Nagios-Plugins [make errors]
Hi Juki, It looks like the compiler cannot find the OpenSSL libraries for linking. The http plugin needs these libraries for the https calls. Find the libcryptoxxx.so and libsslxxx.so libraries location, then try adding the path manually to the Makefile using the -L option, e.g. -L/usr/local/ssl/lib. Alternatively, you can try using the gcc environment variable LIBRARY_PATH or LDFLAGS to force the compiler to find the SSL libraries. $ LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/ssl/lib $ export LIBRARY_PATH LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/ssl/lib export LDFLAGS Run make once more and see what happens.

Re: [Nagios-users] Installing Nagios Server on a Virtual Machine
This was a year or two ago, but we found that when we ran Nagios in this way it worked in general, but because of the sort of variable size of a second on VMware, the latencies were kind of screwed up. This was clearly evidenced when we looked at the performance statistics. Nagios indicated that a lot of checks ran earlier or later than it had expected them to. I don't know if somehow that's gone away or not, but it was a big issue for us and not within the realm of things we were able to tolerate so we want back to physical servers.

Re: [Nagios-users] Installing Nagios Server on a Virtual Machine
This definitely a question of scale. I suspect a virtual solution could
support a couple thousand services or even more in a distributed
environment. For a smaller environment it would be a no-brainer.
We virtualize everything by default so the next nagios server will go
virtual in our MS Hyper-V pool.

Re: [Nagios-users] Installing Nagios Server on a Virtual Machine
I would be very very wary of running Nagios on a VM (we use VMware here). The reason for this is Clock Skew. Clock Skew causes the virtual clock on the guest OS to lag behind then skip forward depending on the loading and sleep times of the guest. Note that this will not affect 'Para-virtualised' guests as they share the hardware clock, but these are only possible in some Xen guests at the moment AFAIK and are not common. VMWare can't do them. On a lightly loaded physical machine your clock skew will be negligible but as load goes up you can get the guest clock lagging as much as 10sec or even more. This can screw up latencies, scheduling, rate calculations (such as CPU use and net use) and so on. In addition any monitoring of virtualised resource (CPU, Memory) will be completely wrong unless you obtain the values from a source which is aware of the virtualiasation (eg VMWare tools API or VirtualCentre API for vmware) Clock skew and virtualised resource monitoring has caused too many problems in our tests and we now only use physical servers for Nagios (and MRTG). I have a Nagios plugin check_vmware at www.steveshipway.org/forumhttp://www.steveshipway.org/forum for monitoring VMware virtualised resources via the API to get meaningful values - previous used check_esx3 but this has been superceeded by the use of the VC API in check_vmware Steve From: Juki [juki.e...@gmail.com] Sent: Friday, 13 November 2009 12:42 a.m. To: Nagios Users Mail-list Subject: [Nagios-users] Installing Nagios Server on a Virtual Machine Hello people, I would like to know if it is advisable (or best practice) to install and run a Nagios monitoring server on a virtual machine (in this case, with OpenSuSE as the OS) with the intention of monitoring physical hardware client machines on the same LAN.

Re: [Nagios-users] Installing Nagios Server on a Virtual Machine
Hi
We have an esx pool of about 120 VMs, and about 4-5 service checks per vm
(disk/stock web/ssh/ldap/ssl certificate expiry/tomcat web apps/etc etc). The
nagios monitor (also a vm) hits them all.
Only ‘unique’ issue we have since the vms are in a really aggressive load
balancer, outages in networks with effect different VMS as they have vmotioned
somewhere else in the cluster. We haven’t won that battle – and are happy to
just live with it for now.
As for scaling – its a debian box with 256mb of memory also running our LDAP
slave server, and looks at 600 different things. And we run nagiosgrapher to
disk.
I think thats a win for nagios ☺

This definitely a question of scale. I suspect a virtual solution could
support a couple thousand services or even more in a distributed environment.
For a smaller environment it would be a no-brainer.
We virtualize everything by default so the next nagios server will go virtual
in our MS Hyper-V pool.

This was a year or two ago, but we found that when we ran Nagios in this way it
worked in general, but because of the sort of variable size of a second on
VMware, the latencies were kind of screwed up. This was clearly evidenced when
we looked at the performance statistics. Nagios indicated that a lot of checks
ran earlier or later than it had expected them to.
I don't know if somehow that's gone away or not, but it was a big issue for us
and not within the realm of things we were able to tolerate so we want back to
physical servers.
One of the arguments I know I've seen before on this list is the idea that
you're doing your critical system monitoring inside an abstracted layer (the
VM) which might alter your view of the world or fail to work should there be an
issue with the ESX server. But all possible acceptable depending on your
site's needs.

Yes, the nagios rpm will create the nagios user, and set up the apache environment for you. You have to add users to the htpasswd setup, or change the auth to suit your environment. I'm of the belief that you should install the software in a manner consistent with your system. If you're a debian user, install the nagios deb files, if you use an rpm based system, install nagios via rpm. This keeps a clean, consistent system, and allows you to track what package owns what files. It's not so much a nagios issue, as a system administration issue. This way when you need to do a software audit of the system to see what's on it, one command will work, rather than doing rpm -qa AND digging through /usr/local/ or other source build/install locations.
