Amazon Web Services (AWS) Monitoring With Nagios

[kiranadiraju]

I'm exploring Check_AWS_EC2_instance_status plugin. I'm trying to run the following command to encrypt AWS credentials,

"ruby encrypt_credentials.rb -A XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX -S XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX -f ec2_credentials.cfg . I am getting the following error",

Error:- ** Encrypting AWS Credentials: access_key_id: ********************, secret_access_key: ****************************************
Error occured while encrypting AWS credentials: uninitialized constant Digest

Refer link: https://exchange.nagios.org/directory/P ... us/details.
Please help me to resolve the error.

you probably want to contact the author of the plugin because these guys at Nagios didn't write it. it would see if you can debug it further with a verbose option.

it also looks rather old, there might be a better working one that could be found here - https://exchange.nagios.org/index.php?o ... chword=aws

Thanks @tacolover101!

I would suggest trying other AWS plugins. My ruby is a bit too rusty to say why the encryption is failing. It looks like your Ruby environment is missing the Digest module, though. I would start there.

See if this one works for your environment:

Thanks @tacolover101

I will follow as per your suggestion. I hope my issue will be resolved as early as possible. It seems as per the plugins in ruby some dependencies are missing, so now I'll try in PHP.

Let us know if you encounter problems with the PHP based plugin!

Hello mcapra

How are you doing? Last time I was followed your inputs towards PHP based plugin for solving my issues/queries regarding AWS monitoring with Nagios XI. Still I'm getting errors in Nagios XI UI. As I was installed ec2 php based plugin directly through Nagios XI UI, after that plugin service configuration required right? at there I'm getting the same errors. So please guide me for proceeding further.

I have done the process like -> Admin- Manage Plugins- Uploaded PHP based plugin - Configure - commands - loaded with command line - services - service management config. And also I'm attaching you the screnshot which I have got error even when using ruby process also the same I'm getting now too.

Here I'm attaching you screenshots. Plz have a look.

It looks like your service definition is missing a host. Services cannot exist without a relationship with a host. Try assigning this service to your AWS host via the Core Config Manager.

Judging by your XI appearance, it might look something like this:

In addition of what @mcapra says to do, the check_ec2_instance plugin needs the AWS SDK for PHP installed on the XI server to function.
The link below are the instructions for downloading and installing the AWS SDK.
http://aws.amazon.com/sdkforphp/
Also, the plugin Requires SDK installed somewhere in the include path (/usr/share/php) and requires authentication keys to be set in SDK.
It expects to receive the instance id passed on the command line.
