mod-gearman nothing happening

Post by jkinning »

I followed this guide - https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... ios_XI.pdf and can see the queue information when I run gearman_top2 on my Nagios XI server. What I don't understand is does this get used only when needed? I can't see to get any hosts or service checks to funnel through mod-gearman as this queue appears to be idle? It seemed pretty straight forward but apparently I am missing something or not understanding this process.

I also have read this KB article - https://support.nagios.com/kb/article.php?id=484

Do you have a lot of service or host checks to funnel through? Do checks seem to working? After installing gearman the /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg you should see a line like:

Code: Select all

broker_module=/usr/lib64/mod_gearman2/mod_gearman2.o config=/etc/mod_gearman2/module.conf eventhandler=no
This along with successful checks would be positive signs that all is working.

I searched that config and found this.

# NDOUtils module
broker_module=/usr/local/nagios/bin/ndomod.o config_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/ndomod.cfg

Should I change it or should of it happened when I ran the ModGearmanInstall.sh --type=server

The script should of added the broker module to the nagios.cfg file but you can add it to the bottom of it manually.

Code: Select all

broker_module=/usr/lib64/mod_gearman2/mod_gearman2.o config=/etc/mod_gearman2/module.conf eventhandler=no
Then restart nagios by running the following as root so nagios will start to use that module.

Code: Select all

service nagios restart
Try that and post if you have anymore questions.

It should be set when you run the script with the code:

Code: Select all

if [ "$install_type" == "server" ]; then
        info " "
    /etc/init.d/gearmand start
        sed -i 's/\(^broker_module=.*mod_gearman.*\)/#\1/' $nagios_cfg
        echo -e "\n\nbroker_module=$lib_dir/mod_gearman2/mod_gearman2.o config=/etc/mod_gearman2/module.conf eventhandler=no" >> $nagios_cfg
        /etc/init.d/nagios restart
Was the script run when you were logged in as root?

Please run this command on your XI server and attach the resulting /tmp/xigearman.zip file.

Code: Select all

zip -r /tmp/xigearman.zip /etc/mod_gearman2 /var/log/mod_gearman2
Please run this command on your worker and attach the resulting /tmp/workergearman.zip file.

Code: Select all

zip -r /tmp/workergearman.zip /etc/mod_gearman2 /var/log/mod_gearman2
Also, please send the output of this command on the XI server:

Code: Select all

iptables -L

I am running mod-gearman on my XI server. Maybe I am not understanding the workers but isn't it possible to run mod-gearman on the XI server and not need an additional worker machine or do I need a worker machine? I am not starting to get confused.

Overall objective is to try and take some load of my main Nagios XI server to see if I can prevent out of bound messages I am getting from NSClient++ machines.

By default it will install the worker and the job server on the XI server.

To offload the processing you will need to spin up another server and only install the worker and the plugins on it and configure it.

Please attach your nagios.cfg and the output of:

Code: Select all

gearman_top2
