Configuring Nagios Graphs

[rkennedy]

Can you please post the apache configuration file then, that now has your nagios graph settings?

[nathanplatt]

I think this is where i've gone wrong, i have nothing in the apache2 folders for nagiosgraph. Should i re-install the whole thing again and see what it generates?

[nathanplatt]

Okay i've reinstalled in with the following;

  To complete the installation, do the following:

  * In the nagios configuration file (nagios.cfg),
    add these lines:

# process nagios performance data using nagiosgraph
process_performance_data=1
service_perfdata_file=/var/nagios/perfdata.log
service_perfdata_file_template=$LASTSERVICECHECK$||$HOSTNAME$||$SERVICEDESC$||$SERVICEOUTPUT$||$SERVICEPERFDATA$
service_perfdata_file_mode=a
service_perfdata_file_processing_interval=30
service_perfdata_file_processing_command=process-service-perfdata-for-nagiosgraph


  * In the nagios commands file (command.cfg),
    add these lines:

# command to process nagios performance data for nagiosgraph
define command {
  command_name process-service-perfdata-for-nagiosgraph
  command_line /usr/local/nagiosgraph/bin/insert.pl
}


  * Check the nagios configuration:

/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v /path/to/nagios.cfg

  * Restart nagios to start data collection:

/etc/init.d/nagios restart

  * Restart apache to enable display of graphs:

/etc/init.d/apache2 restart

  * To enable graph links and mouseovers, see README sections:
       Displaying Per-Service and Per-Host Graph Icons and Links
       Displaying Graphs in Nagios Mouseovers

Thinking that should be in site-avaliable or enabled I moved it and restarted with no luck, still getting access denied, so i returned it back to original home.

The contents of the file after fresh install;

[rkennedy]

For the record, did you update your apache settings accordingly?

Code: Select all

ScriptAlias /nagiosgraph/cgi-bin /usr/local/nagiosgraph/cgi-bin
<Directory "/usr/local/nagiosgraph/cgi-bin">
Options ExecCGI
AllowOverride None
#Order allow,deny
#Allow from all
Require all granted
</Directory>
Alias /nagiosgraph "/usr/local/nagiosgraph/share"
<Directory "/usr/local/nagiosgraph/share">
Options None
AllowOverride None
#Order allow,deny
#Allow from all
Require all granted
</Directory>

Did this make any difference?

As I said previously, you will need to update your apache configuration to reflect what's above. The 'Require all granted' is needed on Apache 2.4+. The Order allow,deny and Allow from all are commented out as they're used in 2.2-.

Okay so that worked a charm, i'm now able to access the nagiosgraph url.

All the squares are white, the only issue i'm seing now is when i run the test;

http://192.168.1.5/nagiosgraph/cgi-bin/show.cgi
No data in rrd directory /usr/local/nagiosgraph/var/rrd

Will that be caused by a mis-config in Nagios?

[nathanplatt]

Okay, great news! I have it running now, again thank you for all the help. I've noticed by default it only monitors Linux servers, when reading you need to modify the map file to add other items to it. When looking at monitoring Windows Servers, I've seen the following additions;

and push @s, [ fping,

       [ rta,     GAUGE, $2 ] ];

Looking at this i don't know how it will link back to the hosts, is there somewhere I can read a little more about this?

Thank you for all the help, i've managed to get it all configured now and polling data. I can't say i entirely understand the map file, but none the less its working.

Please close the case.

Ah, my guess it just had to reference the right file.

Glad to hear you were able to get this working!

Closing this out now, but feel free to make a new thread if you need any assistance in the future.
