How to monitor the Suse KVM via Nagios XI

[pratikmehta003]

Hi Team,

Do we have any documentation about How to monitor the Suse KVM via Nagios XI?

[ssax]

We don't currently have any official plugins for KVM/SUSE KVM at this time but I found these:

https://exchange.nagios.org/index.php?o ... chword=kvm

To monitor the OS/system metrics you can install an agent such as NCPA (and use the NCPA wizard):

https://www.nagios.org/ncpa/#downloads

Or you could setup SNMP and monitor those system metrics through SNMP with the Linux SNMP/SNMP/or SNMP Walk wizards. I don't know if KVM offers any SNMP OIDs:

I found this as well that could be helpful:

https://wiki.libvirt.org/page/Libvirt-snmp
https://gitlab.com/libvirt/libvirt-snmp

Let us know if you have any questions.

Thanks for the info,,,
Do we have any use case reported earlier for KVM monitoring and if anyone has done it already?

And any feature request is in place for this?

Unfortunately, I was unable to find a use case/guide for this but you should be able to test out the plugins I listed to see if they work against your SUSE KVM system, see here for more information:

https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... ios-XI.pdf

I also found this one that may work for you (it is meant to be run via an agent such as NCPA/NRPE):

https://github.com/sadsfae/nagios-plugi ... ck-libvirt


I do not see a feature request for this so I've created on on your behalf with a link back to this ticket:

FR: XI - Create a KVM wizard/plugin for monitoring KVM

Please keep in mind that the decision to implement the enhancement is at the discretion of our development team.

Let us know if you have any questions/issues, please post the full command with arguments and full output with any errors if you have issues.
