pnp4nagios on Oracle linux6.5

[serouja]

Hi,
I'm running Oracle Linux 6.5 on a virtualbox, I have installed nagios, nagios plugins and pnp4nagios following the below:

Code: Select all

yum -y install http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
yum -y install nagios-3.5* pnp4nagios-0.6* nagios-plugins-all

setup the configurations as per the sync mode instrunctions, nagios and nagios plugins is working perfectly, but I can't get pnp4nagios charts to appear, it keep showing the error for the host:
perfdata directory "/usr/local/pnp4nagios/var/perfdata/localhost" for host "localhost" does not exist

could you please advice?

thanks
sergey

When you installed pnp4naigos, where did you point it to look for perfdata directories? I'm not sure where the yum installed version of nagios places all of that, but as an example on a centos/rhel XI installation it would be in:

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagios/share/perfdata/

Though I believe we intentionally changed that for XI, so it may not be consistent with core.

thanks for your reply, I tried to check the setting by the verify_pnp_config_v2, nagios config at /etc/nagios and pnp4nagios at /etc/pnp4nagios

Code: Select all

perl verify_pnp_config_v2 --mode sync --config=/etc/nagios/nagios.cfg --pnpcfg=/etc/pnp4nagios/

below the output:

also I tried to set the process_perf_data 1 in host/service but still with no luck.

It looks like pnp4nagios is trying to write your perfdata to a directory that does not exist. What is the listing of:

Code: Select all

ls -la /usr/local/pnp4nagios/var/perfdata
ls -lda /usr/local/pnp4nagios/var/perfdata

Did you walk through the full configuration at:
http://docs.pnp4nagios.org/pnp-0.6/config

i'm not sure why the sync mode doesn't work, but i got it working perfectly with bulk mode + npcd.

thanks

Do you actually have those directories? It would be great to see the permissions, is bulk mode fine? Or are you looking to use sync mode? We actually use bulk in nagios XI due to the processing volume.
