Mod_Gearman Worker Hostgroups

[CFT6Server]

I have defined a hostgroup to test the plugins and mod_gearman_worker.

1. I have added a host to a "test" hostgroup.
2. I have configured a specific worker to handle that hostgroup.
3. I perform a check from XI, and noticed that the check is running on the XI host instead.

Steps taken:

1. Went into HostGroup, created "test" and then added host to it.
2. edit the /etc/mod_gearman/mod_gearman_worker.conf on worker2. Restarted mod_gearman_worker.
3. enable debug and tail log on all worker nodes.
4. monitor gearman_top to confirm that the hostgroup is recognized.
5. Initiate a service check of the host => check performed via XI.

Ine added to /etc/mod_gearman/mod_gearman_worker.conf on woker 2

Code: Select all

hostgroup=test

Did I miss anything here?

What does the mod_gearman conf file look like on your XI server?

Code: Select all

cat /etc/mod_gearman/mod_gearman_worker.conf

If the XI server is set up to handle your test hostgroup, it may pull the checks from the jobs queue.

I don't see where that you specified the hostgroup in the neb conf:

Code: Select all

# sets a list of hostgroups which will go into seperate
# queues. Either specify a comma seperated list or use
# multiple lines.
#hostgroups=name1
#hostgroups=name2,name3

This is the conf file of worker 2 that's configured with the hostgroup.

worker.conf

On top of configuring the conf on the worker node, do I also need to configure the server node?

On the Nagios XI server, you need to specify the hostgroups:

Code: Select all

/etc/mod_gearman/mod_gearman_neb.conf

hostgroups=test

Then restart Nagios.

Thanks. That's what I was missing. So the worker conf needs the hostgroups as well as the server needs the hostgroups defined in the neb conf.
