Can't configure MNTOS on my Nagios...

[miroras]

Hi All.

Environment Details:
Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS
Nagios® Core™ 4.0.8

While trying to install MNTOS on one of my nagios machines, im getting the following right after i finish configuration:

iptables: No chain/target/match by that name.
Bad argument `save'
Try `iptables -h' or 'iptables --help' for more information.
iptables: unrecognized service
httpd: unrecognized service

This looks like an faulty iptables line in your config script.
Try to find what they are trying to do with iptables.
Do

Code: Select all

grep iptables ./*

in the directory from where you tried to install.

Or else maybe the following might help?
http://beginlinux.com/server/installing ... ring-mntos
Or

Agreed, looks like an iptables issue, let us know what your responses are to Rob's questions, thanks!

[miroras]

Thanks for the response!

this is what i get:

./NagiosXI-MNTOS-install.sh:iptables -I RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT
./NagiosXI-MNTOS-install.sh:iptables save
./NagiosXI-MNTOS-install.sh:service iptables restart

[rhassing]

./NagiosXI-MNTOS-install.sh:iptables -I RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT

This looks like it assumes you install on a Redhat server. It should be no problem to remove the lines which would adjust your iptables and do it manually.

If you can post that install script, we will be able to point out where this would be commented out.

from the MNTOS sh file:


#!/bin/sh

# Check whether we have sufficient privileges
if [ $(whoami) != "root" ]; then
echo "This script needs to be run as root/superuser."
exit 1
fi

# Install prerequisite packages
yum install -yq wget httpd php php-xml

# Download and install MNTOS from Exchange
cd /opt
wget "http://exchange.nagios.org/components/c ... 8&cf_id=24" -O mntos-1.0.tar.gz.gz
gunzip mntos-1.0.tar.gz.gz
tar zxf mntos-1.0.tar.gz
rm mntos-1.0.tar.gz
cd mntos-1.0
wget "http://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagi ... /globe.png" -O www/img/globe.png

# This line is here so it can be changed if the cron job is changed to run less than every minute (it's in seconds)

Change the following lines:

Code: Select all

# Make sure this server allows HTTP connections to view the dashboard
iptables -I RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT
iptables save
service iptables restart

to

Code: Select all

# Make sure this server allows HTTP connections to view the dashboard
#iptables -I RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT
#iptables save
#service iptables restart

then run again.

HI, thanks for the replay.

removed it from the script.

now i get "httpd is not a known service"

and the same result.

Okay, are you installing this on a server that already has core set up? And what distro are you installing on? If it really is Ubuntu, this script may not be meant for it (i.e looking for httpd instead of apache2 as that service). I suggest following a guide which coveres your distro, such as this one:
