Nagios Plugin Configuration
===========================
Configure Access to Nagios
--------------------------
The following should be set in **/etc/vitrage/vitrage.conf**, under [nagios] section:
+------------------+---------------------------------------------------------+-------------------------------+
| Name | Description | Default Value |
+==================+=========================================================+===============================+
| user | Nagios user | |
+------------------+---------------------------------------------------------+-------------------------------+
| password | Nagios password | |
+------------------+---------------------------------------------------------+-------------------------------+
| url | Nagios url for querying the data | |
+------------------+---------------------------------------------------------+-------------------------------+
| config_file | Nagios configuration file | /etc/vitrage/nagios_conf.yaml |
+------------------+---------------------------------------------------------+-------------------------------+
| changes_interval | Interval of checking changes in the configuration files | 30 seconds |
+------------------+---------------------------------------------------------+-------------------------------+
**Note:** To avoid issues with paging, it is recommended for the URL to be of
the form *http://<nagios site url>/cgi-bin/status.cgi*, which returns all the
nagios tests.
Nagios access configuration - example
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
When installing Nagios on devstack with IP 10.20.30.40, following
the instructions here_, this would be the correct configuration:
.. _here: https://github.com/openstack/vitrage/blob/master/doc/source/nagios-devstack-installation.rst
::
[nagios]
user = omdadmin
password = omd
url = http://10.20.30.40:54321/my_site/nagios/cgi-bin/status.cgi
config_file = /etc/vitrage/nagios_conf.yaml
Configure Nagios Host Mapping
-----------------------------
Nagios tests are defined in a table with columns: Host, Service, Status, Last
Check, etc.
A Nagios "host" is not necessarily a resource of type "nova.host". It can also
be an instance, switch, or other resource types. **nagios_conf.yaml** is used
to map each Nagios host to a Vitrage resource.
Format
++++++
::
nagios:
- nagios_host: <Host as appears in Nagios>
type: <resource type in Vitrage>
name: <resource name in Vitrage>
- nagios_host: <Host as appears in Nagios>
type: <resource type in Vitrage>
name: <resource name in Vitrage>
...
Note that for ease of use, there is support for wildcards in the "nagios_host"
value, and references to the actual value for a given wildcard match. See
**Example 2** below.
Example 1
+++++++++
The following example is for a system with two hosts. In nagios they are named
*compute-0, compute-1*, and in nova they are named *host-1, host-2*.
::
nagios:
- nagios_host: compute-0
type: nova.host
name: host1
- nagios_host: compute-1
type: nova.host
name: host2
Example 2
+++++++++
The following file will
- map all Nagios hosts named host-*<some_suffix>* or *<some_prefix>*-devstack
to resources of type nova.host with the same name.
- map all Nagios hosts named instance-*<some_suffix>* to nova.instance
resources.
Note how the *${nagios_host}* references the instantiation of the regex defined
in nagios_host.
::
nagios:
- nagios_host: host-(.*)
type: nova.host
name: ${nagios_host}
- nagios_host: (.*)-devstack
type: nova.host
name: ${nagios_host}
- nagios_host: instance-(.*)
type: nova.instance
name: ${nagios_host}
