All, I''m curious what monitoring solutions everyone is using and recommend, some of the ones I''ve been looking at recently: Nagios: Old stand-by, used quite a bit but doesn''t provide a cohesive solution (have to have add-ons for graphing, etc..) Zabbix: Currently using, decent but seems to be a bit resource intenstive Zenoss: Never used, no opinion yet Icinga: Never used, Nagios fork that I have no opinion on yet Shinkin: Never used, no opinion yet Centreon: Never used, no opinion yet There are (lots) more out there, recommendations from someone who has used the product would be great to hear. Obviously integration into puppet would be a great feature to have. :) Thanks, Kyle Sexton -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

We got a totally integrated solution made up with Puppet, Icinga and stored resources. When integrating a new host into Puppet, one just has to wait until it gets monitored in Icinga - no more work to do.

It has a bit of a learning curve but works great once you get over it. In terms of configuration I manage OpenNMS config itself in puppet but when it comes to configuring nodes for monitoring I use the automated service discovery capabilities of OpenNMS. Once you ''teach'' it about the services you''re running and how to discover them it''s just a case of triggering a service scan after a node is built. I do this via a REST call after the initial puppet run. OpenNMS will periodically re-scan my nodes and pick up any changes (or one can trigger a re-scan manually when/if needed). I tried many things before but OpenNMS works best for me so far. Cheers, Andrew.

Curious if Icinga has integrated graphing or if it''s an add-on since it''s based on Nagios. Overall you are pleased with the solution?

Re: AW: [Puppet Users] OT: Monitoring solutions
I use pnp4nagios with icinga, and use the graphite branch (some mods required). Otherwise the RRD setup works well too.

Yes, we are very satisfied with this solution. Icinga is based on Nagios (I think it''s a fork.) and has graphical capabilities. Just check out their homepage to see some examples (https://www.icinga.org/).

Yes, our Puppet master is running very long for collection the stored Nagios resources. We still can cope with this situation but it might get worse in the future which will then make us think about new hardware I guess.

Yes, PNP4Nagios is another feature we are using, too. Simply using the performance data created by the Nagios checks is a very good way of having long term monitoring of all boxes.

If you are thinking abou Nagios, Icinga, or Shinken, may I suggest you look at omdistro.org? They provide a single installable RPM/DEB (e.g. omd-0.54.rpm) which includes all three, plus 10 or so add-ins, all configured to work together, *plus* a nifty management tool that makes it super easy to set up multiple environments. We are using check_mk/multisite (included in OMD) which makes automatic configuration via Puppet a snap. Each node exports 2 or 3 file resources, which are then collected by the correct Nagios server, which in turn kicks off an inventory and rebuilding of the Nagios configuration. It is a thing of beauty.

For our clients we are using zabbix mostly, conveniently through the SaaS version my company makes (http://tribily.com, not interesting if you have more then 50 servers or so). We have some clients using New Relic as well, which is very nice if your core-business is running a website or webapp. Somewhere on my todo-list is investigating how much trouble it would be to write a puppet module that could register hosts in zabbix through their API. Should be possible, but I haven''t had even a second to look into it :) Anyhoo: like zabbix for it''s all in one solution: monitoring, trending, graphing and alerting. Know of zabbix installations doing 40K hosts, but they have a pretty advanced setup.
