Re: [Nagios-users] Distributed Nagios Configuration with Passive Checks
If I understand you correctly, are you trying to have your master server accept passive checks from other Nagios servers and check services and servers itself? If so, what I think would be easier (and is the method recommended by the docs) would be to just set up a second Nagios server (or instance) to run the checks that the master is currently doing and have the master only accept passive checks. The master would have enable_notifications on, execute_service_checks off. The slaves would have enable_notifications off, execute_service_checks on. There's more to it than just that, read the following guide for more information: http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/distributed.html Also, if you simply want a unified interface, you might want to look at Nagios Fusion. I haven't used it, but it might be what you want. Good luck, Jeffrey. http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/distributed.html On Sun, Mar 20, 2011 at 9:43 PM, Samuel Kidman samuel.kid...@panres.comwrote: Hello I am trying to set up a distributed nagios configuration that will monitor n mine-sites.

If there was a way to have host group intersections in the hostgroups property in service checks I could specify two services and two hostgroups – a local and a remote one.

You want to use templating so that the master is set to active checks enabled no while the slave is set to active checks enabled yes. In Opsview (http://opsview.com), our db based configuration database knows if a host is monitored on the master or on a remote slave. We generate configurations for a host (and services) appropriately. We've also done loads of work so you can manage it from the central master and it will distribute downtimes/acknowledgements/disables to slave systems as well.

Hello I have used two of this option :DNX and NSCA , and in the end , due to network restrictions had to use the NSCA to monitor the remote sites. DNX is a good option if all your workers and target hosts are on the same LAN - as the DNX module does not have a host affinity logic which means any host will check any other host , and if it can't reach it - nagios will get the critical error alert for it . NSCA gives you the ability to monitor a remote site locally with a nagios on the site LAN and report it back to the main central server with a more fine grained testing , but a bit more overhead in management. About the DNX issue - you may want to check the mod_gearman http://labs.consol.de/lang/de/nagios/mod-gearman/ as it is better designed to a distributed nagios deployment .

Hooray!
Actually, I wanted to point out a few things I found when building the
most recent version of merlin recently. At the heart of my issues
is that our team is not allowed root access on these servers (long boring
corporate story...) so I'm installing everything in an alternate tree.
1) There are a couple of hard-coded paths in ipc.c and node.c for
the socket and the binlogs. I'm assuming that's intentional, but it
does mean one has to manually edit the source files to point to different
paths rather than specifying anything like that during the build process.
The socket location can be configured. Binlogs cannot. I'll amend that in
the next release though. The core functionality is there, but there's no
option to set it in the config files, which is kinda stupid.
2) Because we're trying to put all the files into an alternate tree, the
installation of 'mon' from install-merlin.sh didn't really work right. In
our case, it made a lot more sense to change
cp apps/mon.py $root_path/usr/bin/mon
to
cp apps/mon.py $bindir/mon
otherwise it would put 'mon' in a really weird spot.
I'm guessing these are design decisions on your part, but in case they're
not, I thought I'd point them out.
Yes. The install-merlin.sh script is designed to be usable from the
rpm spec file, and it's meant to aid people who want to install
everything in its default location. Would $root_path/$bindir/mon
work for you? Since you can set $root_path to whatever you want,
I suppose it should.

It is when you're using make, but internally the install-merlin
script uses $root_path. So
make install DESTDIR=/some/random/path
will install everything to the root path /some/random/path.
The autotools default path is called --dest-dir, which is what
install-merlin.sh uses, even though I detest the autotools with
an unsurpassed passion.

Re: [Nagios-users] distributed nagios ?
Stan, Some commercial packages with community open source versions certainly can ease the process of doing distributed monitoring. In our case we picked Opsview - for ease of use front end - with nagios still on the backend - and simplified distributed architecture http://www.opsview.com/downloads/download-opsview-community It was a small learning curve but with many great returns. Good luck with the distributed monitoring, James Whittington VC3, Inc. -Original Message- From: stan [mailto:st...@panix.com] Sent: Monday, December 13, 2010 4:27 PM To: Flyinvap Cc: nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] distributed nagios ?

I've had to implement a distributed systemand I have gone through some docs I found on sourceforge. I'll briefly mention what I have done: slave nagios 1. Installed the nsca pack 2. put send_nsca.cfg - /etc 3. modified entry for ocsp_sommand in nagios,cfg 4. enabled obesess over services 5. enable_notifications set to 0 6. Defined a command called submit_check_result in my minimal.cfg 7. Written submit_check_result script and placed it in ../libexec server side: 1. Installed nsca pack 2. nsca,cfg - /usr/local/nagios/etc 3. active service checks 1 for services checked from main nagios set to 0 for service checked from slave nagios 4. externetl commands checks enabled 5. passive service checks enabled 6. nsca - /usr/local/nagios/bin 7. check existance of /usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd 8. wrote nsca script in /etc/xinetd.d 9. added entry in /etc/services called NSCA 10. restarted xinetd Problem. When I send info from slave to main nagios by hand, it is sent and reported by the main nagios, correctly. When I remove /usr/local/nagios/libexec/submit_check_result, I get an error indicating that the slave nagios is trying to execute a non-existing script. When I re-instate the submit_check_result script, nothing happens. No error in any log. I do not see any attempt on the network ( tcpdump) that the slave is trying to contact the main nagios. I have also added a little echo statement in the submit_check_result script that writes to a file. A few questions: What version of nagios are you running? When you added the echo statement was IT the only thing in the script? or did you leave the rest of the script intact? What are the permissions of the directories, files of where your submit_check_result script is? Did you try running the script by hand as the user nagios runs under? PS: Give an example of what your submit_check_result script looks like. Hi Bryan !!! Thanks for your mail. I have since dicovered that the problem was the permissions of my send_nsca.cfg file !! For completeness: Version of nagios is 2.4 The echo statement was simply added with all other statements intact The permissions of the script files are readable and executable by anyone. It is owned by nagios:nagios. As I said above, I slipped up with not checking the send_nsca.cfg file !!! Thanks for your time, Bryan. Much appreciated John - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

Re: [Nagios-users] Distributed Nagios problem!
Sysit,We had this problem (for SNMPtrap processing), which we've documented here: http://altinity.blogs.com/dotorg/2006/05/immediate_perfo.htmlThe short answer is that you need to make sure the host check command executes as quick as possible because it holds up other processing.This patch may help you, but you have to be careful: http://altinity.blogs.com/dotorg/2006/05/reducing_host_c.htmlTonOn 26 May 2006, at 03:13, SYSIT wrote:I have used nfs (on a netapp device) to submit check result from slave server to central server.But now another problem happed: central server can’t deal with so many passive check result.
