Nagios Feature

[lafargeuser]

How can I achieve below requirement in XI
Automatic and User performed action for event generated in the Nagios (example: If any services went down on a system Nagios event should restart the service automatically or User performed)

·         Instruction area for each Events in the Nagios (Instruction text for event to get more details )

·         Drill down the Performance Usage to understand the exact issue.(example CPU Utilization Drill down to Process table to identify the exact process which was utilizing the CPU during the window.)

·         User access control on Nagios console for end user.

·         Event Correlation to suppress duplicate events and Auto acknowledge on Nagios.

A lot to address here. I'll try my best:

User access control on Nagios console for end user.

Event Correlation to suppress duplicate events and Auto acknowledge on Nagios.

There is no actual correlation engine (I've discussed this internally with staff and consider it to be perhaps a useful feature to put into fusion) but some notification suppression can be dealt with pretty simply by implementing host & service dependencies and parent relationships properly.

I apologize for that... posting customer links in the general forum is definitely useless. The information at that link is certainly something I can share though:

Here's one one you can do it. I have a host that I am monitoring via NRPE. I set up the following command on the remote box (client):

Code: Select all

command[check_top]=top -b -n 1

and restarted xinetd:

Code: Select all

service xinetd restart

I made sure it works from the command line on the Nagios XI server:

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H x.x.x.x -c check_top

I put the command in a bash shell script, called "top.sh" in the "libexec" directory:

Code: Select all

[root@testbox libexec]# pwd
/usr/local/nagios/libexec
[root@testbox libexec]# cat top.sh
#!/bin/bash

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H x.x.x.x -c check_top
exit 0

I added the command (script) to the "Actions" component:

Admin->Manage Components->Actions->Edit Settings

and clicked on "Apply Settings".

Now, when I click on my host under "Home->Host Detail", I can see the "Top" link under "Quick Actions":

When I click on it, I can see the top output:

Here, can I use Nagios Reactor ?

Reactor should work well if you're looking for something to react to certain events. Have a read through this: https://www.nagios.com/products/nagios- ... use-cases/
