similar to: Builtin Nagios types

So I''m revisiting puppet''s management of nagios now that 0.25.1 is out and I want to say thanks for the updates to all the nagios types. However, there is one huge, gaping hole that''s been asked about before in 2 different threads but that''s never been addressed: object inheritance. For it to work, it requires the object being inherited from to have a

Hello ! I''m using a lot of nagios_ commands in my puppet manifests and I saw a problem when using ''undef'' in exported resources : Here is a simple example : define nagios::service::distributed ($ensure=present, $service_description, $host_name=false, $contact_groups=false) { nagios_service {$name: ensure => $ensure, use =>

I am using stored configs to manage my nagios host and services checks and I have run into a problem that I have been unable to solve. When the stored configs are purged from puppet the nagios server correctly removes them from the services and hosts file but does not notify the nagios service and instead throws an error. So the entries are still there and nagios still reports on them until

I''ve tried to achieve my overall goals with several different features of Puppet, but I''ve hit a bit of a wall here. I think it''s time for me to explain what I''m trying to accomplish: I want the enabling of a service in my manifests to configure the monitoring of that service by a nagios server, without needless repetition. Let me explain how my

Hi all, I''m working on setting up Puppet to write out my Nagios configs. A few weeks back I inserted a few dummy Nagios checks into my Puppet config, and the Nagios configs were written out properly. I''ve now added loads of Nagios host and service checks like this: @@nagios_service { "check_smtp_${hostname}": check_command =>

Hi List, I have noted a number of times, various comments on this list about Nagios, hence my questions. just been employed by an ISP and they want to upgrade their fairly extensive nagios monitoring. They are mostly an ubuntu lts shop, so 1st question What advantages does the RH/CentOS world have (if any?) over the ubuntu LTS world? They are talking about running the server on a vm, as I

Hello, Has anyone managed a successful installation of Nagios using the RPMForge packages on CentOS 5.5? It looks like it should have worked, I followed the guides for Fedora and CentOS here (with appropriate path adjustments): http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/quickstart-fedora.html http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Nagios The SELinux policies look fine (I tend to ignore instructions to

Hi folks, For the first time since I started playing with puppet I started down the road of using exported resources This was inspired by my reading all of the nagios related recipes that went something along the lines of class nagios { package {nagios: ensure=> latest } service {nagios : ensure => running , enable => true} Nagios_host <<! !>>

Hi, so I''m trying to use the built in nagios_host type and there appears to be one huge glaring hole - the lack of a hostgroups parameter. And before anyone asks why I can''t use the nagios_hostgroup type, if someone can tell me how I can collect members without having to manage the hostgroup members manually, that would be fantastic. There''s a servicegroups parameter

Hi, Since the below is a little long, I put my question at the top: how do I troubleshoot awful exported resources performance in puppet and is there anything I can tweak to get it to run under 10 minutes in larger environments? I have a fairly modest environment (118 nodes, but prod will be at least twice as large). I''m trying to move my distributed nagios setup to one based on

I''m very interested in the way that puppet appears to be able to generate nagios configurations though I can''t seem to find any documenation on how it works: http://reductivelabs.com/trac/naginator is clearly a placeholder page... Meanwhile the various pieces of info at links such as: http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/TypeReference#nagios-host are just teasing me.

We were using Naginator resources like nagios_host, etc. along with stored configurations and exported resources. Worked pretty well. However we have to separate the Puppet master and the Icinga (Nagios) server. They will be on different machines from now on. Are there any best practices for such a scenario? I already thought about some kind of ''rsync'' of the configuration from

Package: logcheck-database Version: 1.2.43a Followup-For: Bug #355364 sorry but the previous patch was wrong the rules has to match both nagios: and nagios2: (and NOT nagios[...]:) so the pattern is nagios[2]*: (instead of nagios\[[0-9]+\]:) -- Cyril Chaboisseau

I''m trying to generate (and manage) nagios configuration based on what classes have been included by nodes. I''ve seen the example at http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/exported_resources.html, and I''m doing that now. However, it has some problems: - puppet runs are very slow on the nagios node - when I want to change the service configuration in nagios, I have to wait
