NDOUtils and Nagios 4x

[delboy1966]

I was about to install NDOUtils on my Nagios 4.2.1 server but in the README file it says this about the module:

ndomod-4x.o = NDOMOD module for Nagios 4.x (unstable)

Is this the case?
Has anyone experienced any issues with install NDOUtils on Nagios 4x?

Thanks
Tony

No, it's very stable now. That's just something I apparently missed updating in the README. I'll make sure that unstable qualifier gets removed.

Thanks for bringing it up!

Thanks for the reply.
I'll go and install it.

So I've install NDOUtils and installation was seamless and without any issues.
I can see some data in the database tables are being populated.

However when I tell Nagvis to use the ndomy_1 backend and change the relevant database details in the Nagvis config file all my map icons are blue with the message:

Problem (Backend: ndomy_1): The object (object name) does not exist

This is for hostgroups, servicegroups, hosts etc
Does it take time for the database to get all the information populated?

Am I missing something:

My ndo2db config is as follows:



#####################################################################
# NDOMOD CONFIG FILE

# Last Modified: 09-05-2007
#####################################################################


# INSTANCE NAME
# This option identifies the "name" associated with this particular
# instance of Nagios and is used to seperate data coming from multiple
# instances. Defaults to 'default' (without quotes).

instance_name=default



# OUTPUT TYPE
# This option determines what type of output sink the NDO NEB module
# should use for data output. Valid options include:
# file = standard text file
# tcpsocket = TCP socket
# unixsocket = UNIX domain socket (default)

#output_type=file
#output_type=tcpsocket
output_type=unixsocket



# OUTPUT
# This option determines the name and path of the file or UNIX domain
# socket to which output will be sent if the output type option specified
# above is "file" or "unixsocket", respectively. If the output type
# option is "tcpsocket", this option is used to specify the IP address
# of fully qualified domain name of the host that the module should
# connect to for sending output.

#output=/usr/local/nagios/var/ndo.dat
#output=127.0.0.1
output=/usr/local/nagios/var/ndo.sock



# TCP PORT
# This option determines what port the module will connect to in
# order to send output. This option is only valid if the output type
# option specified above is "tcpsocket".

tcp_port=5668



# ENCRYPTION
# This option determines if the module will use SSL to encrypt the
# network traffic between module and ndo2db daemon.
# Both sides have to enable this feature which depends on SSL Libraries
# like openssl or kerberos
# This option is only valid if the output type
# option specified above is "tcpsocket".
#
# A value of '1' will enable this feature

use_ssl=0



# OUTPUT BUFFER
# This option determines the size of the output buffer, which will help
# prevent data from getting lost if there is a temporary disconnect from
# the data sink. The number of items specified here is the number of
# lines (each of variable size) of output that will be buffered.

output_buffer_items=5000



# BUFFER FILE
# This option is used to specify a file which will be used to store the
# contents of buffered data which could not be sent to the NDO2DB daemon
# before Nagios shuts down. Prior to shutting down, the NDO NEB module
# will write all buffered data to this file for later processing. When
# Nagios (re)starts, the NDO NEB module will read the contents of this
# file and send it to the NDO2DB daemon for processing.

buffer_file=/usr/local/nagios/var/ndomod.tmp



# FILE ROTATION INTERVAL
# This option determines how often (in seconds) the output file is
# rotated by Nagios. File rotation is handled by Nagios by executing
# the command defined by the file_rotation_command option. This
# option has no effect if the output_type option is a socket.

file_rotation_interval=14400



# FILE ROTATION COMMAND
# This option specified the command (as defined in Nagios) that is
# used to rotate the output file at the interval specified by the
# file_rotation_interval option. This option has no effect if the
# output_type option is a socket.
#
# See the file 'misccommands.cfg' for an example command definition
# that you can use to rotate the log file.

#file_rotation_command=rotate_ndo_log



# FILE ROTATION TIMEOUT
# This option specified the maximum number of seconds that the file
# rotation command should be allowed to run before being prematurely
# terminated.

file_rotation_timeout=60



# RECONNECT INTERVAL
# This option determines how often (in seconds) that the NDO NEB
# module will attempt to re-connect to the output file or socket if
# a connection to it is lost.

reconnect_interval=15



# RECONNECT WARNING INTERVAL
# This option determines how often (in seconds) a warning message will
# be logged to the Nagios log file if a connection to the output file
# or socket cannot be re-established.

reconnect_warning_interval=15
#reconnect_warning_interval=900



# DATA PROCESSING OPTIONS
# These options determine what data the NDO NEB Module will process
#
acknowledgement_data=1
adaptive_contact_data=1
adaptive_host_data=1
adaptive_program_data=1
adaptive_service_data=1
aggregated_status_data=1
comment_data=1
contact_status_data=1

# CONFIG OUTPUT OPTION
# This option determines what types of configuration data the NDO
# NEB module will dump from Nagios. Values can be OR'ed together.
# Values:
# 0 = Don't dump any configuration information
# 1 = Dump only original config (from config files)
# 2 = Dump config only after retained information has been restored
# 3 = Dump both original and retained configuration

config_output_options=2

Hi
Thanks for the reply.
I have now managed to get this working.

Awesome, going to close this one up on that note!
