Monitoring Nagios Log Server

[stecino]

I am trying to hit the following URL to parse instance status metrics for monitoring purposes

http://user:[email protected]/nagioslogse ... nce_status but it's not returning me anything. There are some underlying POST statements that are followed after this command.

I was wondering is there a way to get a json that I can parse from one of the nodes in regards to the instances info that's displayed on the administration UI?

By default, Nagios Log Server won't allow you to query that information from the outside. Your best bet is to use a plugin like NRPE to perform local queries.

For instance, the following will return proper java results if you run it on Nagios Log Server:

Code: Select all

curl -XGET localhost:9200/_nodes/jvm?pretty

Basic health check:

Code: Select all

curl -XGET 'http://localhost:9200/_cluster/health?pretty=true'

These queries don't work from the outside for security purposes.

You could easily use a plugin like NRPE to launch these queries locally - if that's something you're interested in getting data on. Otherwise, I can recommend the following plugin: https://github.com/anchor/nagios-plugin-elasticsearch

Or come to my 2015 Nagios World Conference talk on how to use all the Nagios suite of products to monitor, notify, alert, and track all the other Nagios suite of products.

I'll show you lots of tips and tricks for monitoring NLS with XI/Core, but also how to monitor XI/Core using NLS.

If there were bbcode for "fireworks" I would have used that.

@stecino: Let us know how jolson's suggestion works out for you!

There is: [­fireworks][­/fireworks]

No, I mean a font with animated fireworks shooting off of the letters.

I was there last year and I loved it. We are expecting a baby in early October, my wife will kill me if I leave town
Otherwise would have loved to be there again. We may send someone this time as well
