Nagios Core Maps

[neworderfac33]

Good morning,

I am currently running Nagios Core 4.0.8

Having now set up my basic monitoring (with a lot of help from my good friends here!), I have now been asked to look at different ways to display the information that Nagios collects.

I have been looking at the Network Map, or at least I've been Googling it, as, whenever I click on "Map", I get:

Not Found
The requested URL /nagios/cgi-bin/statusmap.cgi was not found on this server.
Apache/2.2.15 (Red Hat) Server at 10.15.18.112 Port 80

Is this something that should be available with my Nagios version?

Thanks in advance.

Pete

Where do you have Nagios installed? On my system it is under /usr/local/nagios, so run the following command replacing that with whatever you have:

ls -l /usr/local/nagios/sbin/

and let's see your Nagios Apache config - mine is located at /etc/httpd/conf.d/nagios.conf but yours may differ.

Good afternoon,

Thanks for your reply - here's the file you asked for:

Code: Select all

ScriptAlias /nagios/cgi-bin "/usr/local/nagios/sbin"

<Directory "/usr/local/nagios/sbin">
#  SSLRequireSSL
   Options ExecCGI
   AllowOverride None
   Order allow,deny
   Allow from all
#  Order deny,allow
#  Deny from all
#  Allow from 127.0.0.1
   AuthName "Nagios Access"
   AuthType Basic
   AuthUserFile /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users
   Require valid-user
</Directory>

Alias /nagios "/usr/local/nagios/share"

<Directory "/usr/local/nagios/share">
#  SSLRequireSSL
   Options None
   AllowOverride None
   Order allow,deny
   Allow from all
#  Order deny,allow
#  Deny from all
#  Allow from 127.0.0.1
   AuthName "Nagios Access"
   AuthType Basic
   AuthUserFile /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users
   Require valid-user
</Directory>

and here's the output of the command:

Code: Select all

Can you also include the ls -l output from my last post?

[neworderfac33]

I just added it in! - no statusmap.cgi!

[neworderfac33]

I'm leaving for the day, so apologies id you post anything and i don't get back to you until tomorrow.
Thanks for your help!

For some reason it looks like the statusmap.cgi didn't get installed.
Do you still have the Nagios source directory on that system?
If so, there should be a log file in that folder that would give us a clue on why it didn't get installed.

[neworderfac33]

Good afternoon,

We just looked through the original tar file and it doesn't appear to contain statusmap.cgi - should it be there, or is the file something that is created dynamically during installation?

I also found this in the forum:
https://support.nagios.com/forum/viewto ... =7&t=29361

which suggests that I might need something called Boutell's GD Library in order to create the map.

Does this sound right?

Thanks

Pete

The original tar should have statusmap.c, which gets compiled into statusmap.cgi - do you see that? If you be in the "cgi" directory.

[neworderfac33]

Yes, I'm looking at the original .tar from where I installed and it DOES have statusmap.c in there.

Do I need to reinstall, or is there any way in which I can just extract statusmap and do something with it?

Failing this, a knowledgeable colleague of mine is proposing that we create a duplicate installation of Nagios in a virtual environment, and copy the statusmap.cgi from that into my live Nagios installation - is this a realistic alternative?

Thanks

Pete
