nagios core + nagiosxi + Nagios Federated Monitoring

[vnc786]

Hi,

How should one proceed to display all nagios core checks results in NagiosXI Server

NSCA

This is straightforward.

You use nsca on the XI server (already setup, you just have to fiddle with inbound transfer settings)

You use send_nsca on the Core servers, wrapped up with a command that is defined as your ocsp_command and ochp_command:

Code: Select all

define command{
        command_name    ochp_submit
        command_line    $USER1$/submit_ochp.sh $HOSTNAME$ $HOSTSTATEID$ '$HOSTOUTPUT$' '$HOSTPERFDATA$'
        }

define command{
        command_name    ocsp_submit
        command_line    $USER1$/submit_ocsp.sh $HOSTNAME$ '$SERVICEDESC$' $SERVICESTATEID$ '$SERVICEOUTPUT$' '$SERVICEPERFDATA$'
        }

With wrappers that look like this- ish:

submit_ochp.sh:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
CMD=/usr/sbin/send_nsca
CFG=/etc/nagios/send_nsca.cfg
HOST=$1
RESULT=$2
OUTPUT="$3"
PERF="$4"
printf "%b" "${HOST}\t${RESULT}\t${OUTPUT}|${PERF}\n" | $CMD -H nagiosxi.example.com -c $CFG

submit_ocsp.sh

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash

CMD=/usr/sbin/send_nsca
CFG=/etc/nagios/send_nsca.cfg
HOST=$1
SRV=$2
RESULT=$3
OUTPUT="$4"
PERF="$5"

printf "%b" "${HOST}\t${SRV}\t${RESULT}\t${OUTPUT}|${PERF}\n" | $CMD -H nagiosxi.example.com -c $CFG

Don't forget to configure nsca.cfg (handled by inbound transfer on the XI box) and send_nsca.cfg:

Code: Select all

password=blablablabla
encryption_method=3

Enable the proper settings in nagios.cfg on your core box:

Code: Select all

obsess_over_services=1
obsess_over_hosts=1
ocsp_timeout=5
ocsp_command=ocsp_submit
ochp_command=ochp_submit

And then also make sure that your hosts/services you want to be submitted have the obsess bit turned on,
For hosts:

Code: Select all

obsess_over_host             1

For services:

Code: Select all

obsess_over_service             1

Have fun.
