Ubuntu Monitoring via PPA

[A.Cormack]

Hey All, its me again.

I'm trying to configure PPA in order to monitor my Ubuntu server. But once again I appear to be encountering a problem. Below is a run through of what I've done by following a guide at: http://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagi ... _Agent.pdf

I first did

Code: Select all

add-apt-repository ppa:nagiosinc/ppa

But received a system message saying the nessercary componenets were not avaliable and I should concider installing python-software-properties or software-properties-common. So I installed the python package first and tried again but it did not work, so i tried the software package and re-ran and it worked.

I then sudo apt-get update but received the following messages at the end

Code: Select all

W: failed to fetch http:ppa.launchpad.net/nagiosinc/ppa/ubuntu/dists/quantal/main/binary-amd64/packages 404 Not Found
W: failed to fetch http:ppa.launchpad.net/nagiosinc/ppa/ubuntu/dists/quantal/main/binary-i386/packages 404 Not Found
W: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

Which is why I believe I can not run

Code: Select all

apt-get install nagios-agent

as I get the error

Code: Select all

E: Unable to locate package nagios-agent

Welcome back

We are testing this on a fresh ubuntu vm as we speak. What version/arch of ubuntu are you using?

[A.Cormack]

Haha, Thanks.

Im running Ubuntu 12.10, via the "ubuntu-12.10-server-amd64.iso" downloaded directly from the Ubuntu website.

Is this a ubuntu server or a desktop 12.10?

[A.Cormack]

A server.

[A.Cormack]

I just went back to the old thread I had and Tony said: "It looks like nobody's updated it to support 12.10 yet (which doesn't actually require any substantial changes - just tell Launchpad to do it). "

[lmiltchev]

We will be testing the installation of the nagios linux agent on Ubuntu server 12.10. We will let you know if we are able to recreate the issue. Thank you!

[A.Cormack]

Ok once agian thanks for all your guys help. Its late here in the UK, so I'll check back tomorrow to see! Hopefully its not just me.

[abrist]

Good deal. Looks like there are some issues with 12.10 and the ppa due to quantal lacking support with the packages currently. We did test 12.04 server here and it worked like a charm. We will try to get things sorted out fro 12.10, but is may be a day or two.

[A.Cormack]

Ok, that's fair enough. Well if there's no progress by tomorrow, I'll just try and get a copy of 12.04. There's no major difference between the two version and I'm sure they'll both do what I want.
