Nagios Support Forum

Hello,

there is a technical inquires of nagios xi 2014.

In no time, we are going to impliment Nagios XI on customer's system.

So, I have been testing about it.

I need to configure monitoring on Oracle servers using Oracle Wizards.

I downloaded the document from the following URL :
"http://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagi ... lation.pdf"
So, I have read this article about "Oracle plugin Installation".

In this Documet, it has instructed me to configure variables on
"ORACLE_HOME" and "LD_LIBRARY_PATH".

And we have to install proper rpm files.

In page 2, it needs to specify paths including version of oracle.

Is it possible to configure different version on oracle DB? We have
different version of Oracle Database.

Do we have to install these libraries depending on the version of Oracle
Database?

If we have a different version of the database for monitoring, what is
the best way to configure this?

Please answer me . Thank you.

In page 2, it needs to specify paths including version of oracle.

As the document tells you, it will dump the paths at the end of the install if it completed properly, this is because they will be different based on your system / arch.

You don't need to do any of this on the oracle DB, only the Nagios server, once again, as the document points out.

Database?

Everything should be handled by the script, all of that is done via the instant client which is what you are installing, and use to connect to the remote oracle DB. It should not matter.

You should be able to use the same installation as per the documentation, you should not need to modify anything the script does. It is possible, if you are using versions of oracle DB that are quite old, that the new instant client may not be able to connect to the listener service properly, but I have not seen this before.
