Visualize a complete Host- oder Servicegroup with one icon
*
Display the state of a Host dependent on the state of its services (“recognize services”)
*
Display only the real problems (“only_hard_states”)

Migration facile de Nagios 2.x vers Nagios 3.0
by camel
Le but de ce billet est de migrer un serveur Nagios depuis une version 2.x (installée à partir de RPM Fedora comme décrit dans cette procédure) vers une version 3.0 (installée depuis les sources). Pour une installation directe (sur un nouveau serveur), je vous conseille de lire ce billet.

Nagios est un outil de supervision libre, écrit par Ethan Galdstat. Après avoir participé à la traduction de la documentation de son ancêtre (Netsaint), j'ai continué à l'utiliser et à lui développer des extensions.

This Script is coded to install the latest Nagios-Version (CVS) and the Nagios Plugins 1.4.11 automatically!
It's meant to be a help for testing, searching bugs or simply to install Nagios and the Plugins without harking back to the Ubuntu-Package.
First the dependencies will be fixed, missing packages will be installed via apt. The next step is adding the
groups and user which are necessary for Nagios. After that the latest Nagios Tarball will be downloaded and
installed. If errors occur while the installation process you have to kill the script (Ctrl c) and fix it
manually. After that you can run the script again. Then the standard-user (named "nagios") for the Frontend
will be created and you will be asked to set a password for it.
Done, Nagios is installed. Now the plugins are going to be installed. Same procedure, downloading, configuring,
installing. I tried to meet all requirements, so that every plugin will be compiled, but i did'nt check it.
Have fun.

Using Nagios to Monitor Networks
by lecyborg
Nagios is a powerful, modular network monitoring system that can be used to monitor many network services like smtp, http and dns on remote hosts. It also has support for snmp to allow you to check things like processor loads on routers and servers. I couldn't begin to cover all of the things that nagios can do in this article, so I'll just cover the basics to get you up and running.
apricoti wiki / NagiosCheckEmailDelivery
by camel
(via)
The check_email_delivery plugin allows you to send an email message and then check that it was received. This is also called checking an email loop. This is accomplished through two additional plugins (included), called check_smtp_send and check_imap_receive. As of version 0.5, you can also use other plugins to do create the loop.
This project includes:
check_smtp_send - connects to an SMTP server and sends a message
check_imap_receive - connects to and searches an IMAP account for messages
check_email_delivery - sends email and verifies delivery using other plugins
You can use check_smtp_send and check_imap_receive independently, and you can use check_email_delivery to check that an email loop is working.

by camel
This plugin is written in python and does two things each time it runs : 1 - Sends an email containing an id to a specified address, and stores the id to a specified file. 2 - Checks a specified pop3 account to see if the previous message was received. Usage : --relay --popserver --popuser --poppassword --to --from --idfile

Nagios
by camel
& 2 others
Nagios[1] est un moniteur de supervision. Successeur de NetSaint, logiciel libre reconnu dans le monde de la supervision, utilisé par les plus grands opérateurs, il permet une supervision active et passive de serveurs, équipements réseaux, et surtout de services divers et variés.
Très puissant, mais utilisant des principes simples, il reste néanmoins complexe à mettre en œuvre dans un environnement de production.
Le but de cet article est de vous faire une introduction à Nagios, ses concepts, afin de voir comment il peut vous rendre service, de la même façon qu'il nous rend service en production depuis deux ans.
Des graphes dans Nagios avec PNP
by camel
PNP is not PerfParse (blague pour les geek codeurs en Lisp) est un module permettant à Nagios de stocker dans une base RRD et d’afficher via une interface Web des données provenant de vos plugins Nagios. Actuellement en version de développement (0.4.4 au moment de l’écriture de ce billet), PNP comble un manque important dans Nagios: la génération de graphiques personnalisés intégrés à l’interface Web.
