Code: Select all

Thanks for taking time to reply.
It turns out I did not install php-mysql yet.
After I installed it, the error disappeared.

Thanks again!

NagiosQL not regognizing mysql

I'm trying to install NagiosQL. I downloaded the GitHub tar file and extracted the files to the Apache documentroot. I tried running the installation script from the webpage. The installation script gives an error that MySQL is not installed. I installed the MySQL server community edition from sourc...

Re: spikes in network traffic caused by check_ping

I agree that the CPU might be the bottleneck. I tried tweaking some settings, but I now have a different problem. I set the concurrent checks to a number bigger than 1. If I set max concurrent checks to 0 by the way, load increases to 6 or 7 when running `top`. That also sort of confirms the CPU is ...

On 84 of these objects check_dcm is set to 5 minutes. There is one check_dcm file, two services configuring ch...

Re: Nagios XI without SQL database

Thanks for your answers. I appreciate the info. Maybe I'm stuck thinking in terms of command line editing, but just to verify: since all configuration files are stored in an SQL database, how much room does that leave for command line editing/editing configuration files through custom scripts? I'd l...

Re: spikes in network traffic caused by check_ping

About 110 hosts, nearly all being monitored with check-host-alive, check_dcm and check_tcp.
If you don't include check-host-alive that's about 220 services in total.
If you include check-host-alive about 330 services.

spikes in network traffic caused by check_ping

I setup Nagios Core to execute three commands, check-host-alive, check_tcp and an external command. After initial setup the server is working. I've been monitoring the traffic generated by the Nagios server using Wireshark. When I look at the output I see spikes every 300 seconds (most checks are se...

Re: Nagios Network Diagrams

If I was in your position, I'd take a look at NagVis. Not only does it give a tool to create your network diagrams straight from Nagios, it also has a container option. As long as you put your network diagram into an php file using basic html, you can create an iframe (container object) in nagvis wh...

Re: Nagios XI without SQL database

Thanks for you response. In my Nagios Core setup I'm using MKLivestatus as backend. Would the installation still be supported if I installed MKlivestatus? according to this thread https://support.nagios.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=30570 (@scottwilkerson), it would be no problem to install it. ...

Nagios XI without SQL database

Currently I'm testing Nagios in Nagios Core. As a backend I'm using MKLivestatus. According to system requirements two ways of improving Nagios (XI) performance is through a remote SQL server, and through rrdcache. If I use MKLivestatus while upgrading to Nagios XI would I avoid having to create an ...
