Nagios Support Forum

Hello Team,

We have our servers in Azure and we do have Azure portal where we check the health status of those servers.
We wanted to monitor the Azure portal/services/health status from Nagios. Is that possible to monitor in Nagios XI? Please let us know if there is any plugin or any integration that can be used to achieve this.

Let me know if you need any information from my end.

Looking forward for your support.

Thanks in advance!!

Hi @kalyanpabolu,

There's a configuration wizard for monitoring VM's in Azure using NCPA. Just go to Configure > Start Monitoring Now and search for Azure to run the wizard.

For monitoring other aspects of Azure, there are a few community plugins available on the Nagios Exchange.

Thanks for your reply!!
We will check the options and get back to you.

Hi,

We will check the options and get back to you.

Sounds good. We'll keep this thread open.

Hello,

There seems to be some confusion here. I checked the Wizard and it is for monitoring VMs in Azure. We do not want to monitor the VMs. We want to monitor the Azure portal.

In other words, we want to monitor the services of Azure portal, health of Azure portal.
Let me know if you need any information for the same.

Hi @kalyanpabolu,

That's correct the configuration wizard is for monitoring VM's in Azure, it's not for monitoring Azure itself. To do this, there are some community plugins available on the Nagios Exchange at:

https://exchange.nagios.org/index.php?o ... word=Azure

For information on how to setup a community plugin, the following guide is helpful.

Let me know if one of those plugins would work for you.

Hello,

I could just find some reviews about check_azservicehealth.ps1 plugin but it needs powershell.
Can you suggest plugin from your end which should be good to monitor the Azure portal?

Thanks in advance!!

Hi @kalyanpabolu,

What operating system are currently running on Nagios XI. I think the best option here is the PowerShell plugin. Next to that, the following python plugin is another option but it depends on some older python packages that may not work your system.

Hello,

We have installed powershell and tried running this plugin, but getting below error. Could you please help me to check the same.


[root@HO1-NAGIOSXI libexec]# ./check_azservicehealth.ps1 -h
check_azservicehealth.ps1: Missing an argument for parameter 'TenantDomain'. Specify a parameter of type 'System.String' and try again.

Hi,

This particular plugin does not have that flag as a help option. It requires the following parameters.

TenantGUID ClientID ClientSecret TenantDomain

Try running it with those 4 arguments and let me know if you get results back.
