Software :: How To Setup Central Nagios Monitoring Server
Sep 1, 2010
In my network Nagios server running on Ubuntu server and working fine. I am able to monitor servers in local network through plugin and SNMP. Now I want to monitor some servers which are located remote location(network) and they haven't real IP(all are behind route/firewall). I can allocate real IP to nagios server if require. How can I monitor those servers?
I want to monitor RDS (mysql database of EC2) using Nagios. In command line ( I am able to do it but I dont know how to feed it in nagios . On nagios server if I execute the following command , I am able to fetch the information of database (RDS)
i`m trying to set up a Central Backup Server with BackupPC installed on CentOS 5.6 x86_64, My CentOS has Samba3x / Winbind integrated with Active Directory i found this nice Wiki http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/BackupPC , to get my BackupPC installed. after installing RPMForge's repo and settin` up the priorities to the repos, http://wiki.centos.org/PackageManagement/Yum/Priorities i get the following error regarding Samba3x Conflicts , i dont wanna miss up my Samba Configuration to install BackupPC, even --skip-broken option does not work for me
I have installed the nagios by FAN 2.0 CD. In this distro all the required softwares are bundled. Now i do not know where to start. How can i monitor my other server on the network. I have google on the internet but it is not giving the clear idea. Is there any document on the net or how to which can show that how to configure nagios with centreon or originally from changing nagios files.
I have been running a webserver for a time now. And for fun I thought I would use Nagios for monitoring it. But the installation instruction says install this on webserver01 and that on webserver02. I only have one server and want to monitor it remotely from a simple browser. Is this possible or does Nagios need at least two separate servers? Can't it just run it on my one server?
The communication between nagios and nrpe agent in the monitored host, can be without SSL? The problem is that I have 2 different versions of debian running on the machines and there are problems related to the libssl-dev package!
I am using nagios to monitor a local host and a remote host in a vmware, where both the machines working in CentOS. Now i need to monitor MySQL in my local host so that i should know whether MySQL is up and running. I came across some plugins like
I've spent days trying to setup access properly from a public address to a monitoring server that works fine locally. Everything works from public access until I try to link to a CVS repository. The rancid CVS repository is set up as a separate server (virtualhost). It appears the referring link causes a DNS error (105: Server Not Found) when the CVS repository server is accessed from the public address. Things work fine when accessing via localhost.
Localhost link:
[URL]
Public link: (this results in 105 error caused by redirection (bold portion of link))
I am replacing a home network - Windows Server 2003 and 5 PCs (XP Pro) with UBUNTU 10.4 LTS Server and client versions. I am keeping a couple of the PCs with dual boot until I can migrate everything over (Having some issues with iTunes, Family Tree Maker, Media serving, DVD decrypt and a couple of others, but that is for another post). It was great fun getting the server up and running using only shell commands. Took me ages just to get a folder shared! Migrating the data over from NTFS to ext3 was also fun given the limited space on the partitions.
I really only want to use the server for communal network type things ... central user account maintenance, shared folders for music, video etc and data backup. I don't need it to be performing server functions on the Internet e.g. web server etc although that may come later. How I set up central user management? All the PCs are currently setup with local user ids, and it is a bit of a pain to go round each PC every time I change something.
The server is not always up, so I need to be able to log into the local PC without it being active. I was using Active Directory on Server 2003, but I don't need anything that complex really ... just 3 or 4 users to manage. I have been looking at the setup tutorial at [URL] but am not sure how relevant a lot of it is. I have SSH setup so I can login remotely, NFS is working to share the folders, but that is about all I have done so far.
Basically I'm working as part time administrator in a company, and still am at college. To keep the story short, the company I work with used to have a linux gateway, namely Untangle. We tried to upgrade to E-Box, which is supposed to have more options than Untangle, but it doesn't seem to work as it should. What I'm trying to ask here is this. I need a gateway system that handles QoS, Content filtering, Mail Filtering, DNS, Wan failover / load balancing, LOGS (important), Firewall and maybe the handling of separate users or groups. The ideal solution would be one that like the E-box, has a central control system, without the need to adjust code in CLI for configuration. I have some experience on CentOS and Fedora, so I am able to do some configuration, like installing Samba, DHCP and VNC.
We have several SLES, CentOS, Fedora server and use logmail to filter the logs on our central syslog-Server. The problem is, that the filtering take more and more time and the configuration gets more and more confusing. What program to use to analyse our central logfile? Something mysql based?
I am trying to build a ftp server with vsftpd. In general, I am not able to log in. I can only log in to the ftp server, if that same user is logged in to the server. I found out that this has to with my network setup. I am using OpenLDAP for centralized authentication and home directories are stored on an NFS server. The problem is that regular users are not allowed to log in to servers, therefore their home directories are not mounted. However I want to be able to give my users access to the ftp server without their home directories mounted. Is this possible with vsftpd and if so how do get this up and running. By the way, anonymous users are not allowed.
We are hoping to build a central database server so that we can take all the singular instances of mysql off our web servers and have the data stored in one place (we also run a number of syslogging servers that use mysql, netflow servers that use mysql, and many other servers that have mysql tables that we would like to consolidate as well). Now I have run into the problem that requires all the customer web sites to change the configuration for their connection to the mysql server from a local connection to a remote connection, which is something we are trying to avoid. I am wondering if there is a software suite or a function of mysql itself that allows you to present the remote database information as local databases to a server, allowing customer configurations to remain intact, as if the mysql server never moved off the local machine? Or a different question, can you configure mysql server to take local requests and forward them to a central mysql server?
I'm trying to setup nagios, and I've looked at several guides but none of them seem to address my problem.Here's the clearest guide that I followed URl...I followed all the instructions on that basica guide, except disabling SELinux. I changed SELinux rules based on URL...I'm not getting any AVC Denials, so that's not the problem. Nagios and Apache both start fine. If I go to my local IP, I get the standard Apache test page. URl...(address from all the guides I read) doesn't resolve.I know that Nagios is at least running from "service nagios status," and I have gotten two alerts emailed to me: swap alert (I don't have swap configured) and disk space.
I am trying to set up a network where users can login to a central server which gives access to a partition depending on their role in the company e.g development or HR.my ideal world would be a computer sits on the desk. someone comes along logins they have all their files. they can then login with the same user information else where in the office.
We use a reverse proxy to forward a lot of websites via 1 central place.so hould forward to an internal server.I already managed to forward a lot of website correctly, except for this one:hen I type:ttp://blablahblah/smt/webtier-7-11 it doesn't work correctly, but How can I make the first url to work ?
I'm looking for a Syncronizacion Softwares (running as a daemon) to do a unidirectional syncronization of some files/folders from a lot of servers to one central server.As there are a lot of servers i want a software that only needs to be installed on the central server and pulls the files/folders from the other servers.rsync and unison need to be installed on both machines and syncronize the files/folder by sending them from al the servers to the central server(its no the central server the one who pulls the files/folder from the other servers), so they dont work for what i want.
I am striving to setup OSSEC to monitor some specific files for realtime changes! Is this possible? I can't really find a lot of info from their Documentation
Some Examples: /etc/myfile.txt is deleted. I need this to be reported. /etc/myfile.txt is created again so I need this to be reported again!
This has to happen instantly though, because the file might be deleted and created again many times in a short period of time.. Another one... /etc/passwd is touched (accessed) even if there is no changes! Can this be reported as well?
How to see the code behind the nagios plugin: Nagios Checker? I opened the folder which i have downloaded. After that where do i have to go to see the codes? Is it in App_Codes?
I used to have a log file monitoring script on my server but after an auto update recently it seems to have disapperaed.Can anyone think of some log file analyzers that send outputs of ssh, amount of disk space used etc. as I cannot remember the name of the program at all.
1) I have my Nagios running on the linux box and BMC Remedy Server on the Solaris box. I have simulated a mail from Nagios to be delivered to the Remedy server. But the Remedy Server does not receive it. I even tried snooping on port 25 but nothing has reached the box.
2) I have my Nagios running on the linux box and BMC Remedy Server on the Solaris box. I have simulated a mail from Nagios to be delivered to the Remedy server. I snooped on port 25 on the Solaris box. I could see the mail reaching the box, but it is not being forwarded to the Remedy inbox.
I have installed Nagios 3 on CentOS 5.2. Everything is running. It is monitoring 10 machines and 60 services for now. Now I want email notifications for the critical alerts from Nagios. I am already having one mail server (Qmail) running on different machine and I want to use its reference to send alerts to my network.
I was looking for some software to run on my Debian vServer which monitors RAM, CPU and HDD usage. This tool should not require Gnome/KDE, so I guess I'll end up with a PHP tool. I did some search but came up with nothing. I'm using Parallels Power Panel (there might be a plugin or something like that?)
