Nagios Fusion integration with Multiple NagiosXI nodes ...

Post by vishfx »

Hi Nagios Team,

Owing to the AD users BUG ( https://support.nagios.com/forum/viewto ... 20#p242418 )
I couldn't get any way to make fusion add value in our case.
The whole purpose seems to be defeated due to this single bug, since Fusion could act as a single entry point for NagiosXI monitoring.

However,
Below are the list of steps using which I have used for Nagios Fusion integration with Multiple NagiosXI nodes :

NOTE: Assuming all NagiosXI are Fused.

User Account Creation steps:

In NagiosXI:
1. Create local read-only user (eg: fusionuser ) in NagiosXI

In Nagios Fusion:
1. Import/Create AD user (eg: ABCD) in Fusion
2. Set "Server User Mapping" as "fusionuser" - Question: How to automate this step for multiple ldap users in Fusion ?
3. Login to Fusion using LDAP user (eg: ABCD)
4. Set "Manage Automatic Logins" as fusionuser / <password> - Question: How to automate this step for multiple ldap users in Fusion ?

Fusion to NagiosXI Dashboard integration process :

In NagiosXI:
1. Create required NagiosXI Dashboards
2. Deploy NagiosXI Dashboard to fusionuser - Question: How to automate this step for multiple AD users in Fusion ?
3. Login as fusionuser into NagiosXI
4. Copy Dashboard hyperlinks - Question: How to automate this step for grabbing the hyperlinks ?

In Nagios Fusion:
1. Use the Dashboard Links and create Custom URL Dashlet or Fusion Custom Links Component

Kindly assist with the queries.

Feel free to advise any alteration in the steps to achieve better NagiosXI & Fusion integration.

Regards,
Vish.

I looked up the bug report and the developer has closed it and wrote:
Confirmed that XI 5.5 allows this to work now because using auth tokens doesn't care about the auth backend.
Are your XI servers all XI 5.5+? I'm going to lab this up and see if that's still the case and what options you have.

I'll also look into the other stuff as well, there's nothing existing that I'm aware of for doing this, if you don't hear from me by midday tomorrow, please post a reply in this thread so it pops up on our dashboard.

Ok, I am able to replicate this, I'll update the post shortly.

Actually, now I'm unable to replicate this, the first time I was able to but after logging out and closing the browser it started working.

Try logging out of both systems in the web interface, close the browser, and start these commands on both servers (and leave them running):

Code: Select all

tail -Fn0 /var/log/httpd/error_log /var/log/httpd/ssl_error_log
Then open the web browser and login to fusion, then click your username in the top right corner and make sure Enable automatic login is enabled and the AD credentials are proper.

Now click the Servers > Server Name to see if it works, what happens?

Now send me the full output from both tail commands so that I can see what they say.
