Nagios - support new stuff
Posted: Mon Mar 04, 2019 6:57 am
Hi,
Recently I upgrade our linux instance to Amazon instance.
I started to make changes in order to make Nagios more friendly with Amazon instance , because I know you don't support it yet, however, here are some friendly changes I already did to make stuff work:
in file:
/usr/local/nagiosxi/var/xi-sys.cfg
"distro" parameter and "dist" Recognizing that this is an Amazon instance, so their parameters are automatically set to:
distro='Amazon Linux'
dist='amazon'
Cause of the, Nagios doesn't know how to handle the local service. In order to make it work, I added support for Amazon distro in:
/usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts/manage_services.sh
by adding these lines
"$distro" == "Amazon Linux"
So now the full line looks like this:
if [ "$distro" == "CentOS" ] || [ "$distro" == "RedHatEnterpriseServer" ] || [ "$distro" == "EnterpriseEnterpriseServer" ] || [ "$distro" == "OracleServer" ] || [ "$distro" == "Amazon Linux" ]; then
Another change that we did as a result of compliance issues, is upgrading our php version from 5.4 to 7.2.13.
It seems like Nagios deffinately doesn't support it yet, however I found a bug which I fixed today.
On the new PHP version, the NRDS won't open the config files, as it leave the page blank due to http error 500:
[04/Mar/2019:11:18:00 +0000] "GET /nagiosxi/includes/components/nrdsconfigmanager/nrdsconfigmanager.php?mode=edit&edit=NRDP_Jenkins&dir=configs HTTP/1.1" 500 -
Which is an issue with one of the files:
[Mon Mar 04 11:25:17.317893 2019] [php7:warn] [pid 24008] [client X.X.X.X:65253] PHP Warning: Illegal string offset 'SEND_NRDP' in /usr/local/nagiosxi/html/includes/components/nrdsconfigmanager/nrdsconfigmanager.php on line 415, referer: https://nagios.trusteer.net/nagiosxi/admin/
In order to fix it, I had to define one of the variables as an array by adding:
$configvar = array();
to line 405 to the nrdsconfigmanager.php file.
If you can add these code lines in one of the version so each upgrade I won't have to do it manually - I will be thankful
