similar to: Naginator and Puppet on different hosts

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.

Hello all, I am trying to write a script that will check logs for puppet errors to use in a nagios check. I am checking /var/log/messages (RHEL6) but when puppet runs on its 30 minute interval, nothing gets written to messages. I have also looked at /var/log/puppet/puppet.log but that does not seem to be consistent either: [root@gm10v nagios]# tail /var/log/puppet/puppet.log Wed May 02 14:27:47

We want to use Nagios to monitor out puppet server so we can be notified if it goes down. We are using Fusion Passenger and Apache on Red Hat. Any suggestion for what and how to monitor? -- Thanks, Allan Marcus 505-667-5666 Allan@lanl.gov -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

Hi All, I currently make use of Icinga (nagios fork) + Puppet for fully automated monitoring. It''s worked great up to this point. I''ve recently been asked to integrate fine grained notifications support into icinga. I''m not entirely sure puppet manifests are the right place to manage contacts, contact groups, and their use within host and service definitions for

Hi all, I''ve just merged in support for builtin Nagios types into the 0.24.x branch, and I''d like people to give them a once-over before I incorporate them into a release (based on a few (hopefully small) outstanding bugs in 0.24.1, I expect I''ll put out a 0.24.2 in the next week or so). The only thing I''d currently consider a gotcha right now is that

Hi, I''m new to Puppet so may be going about this completely the wrong way, or perhaps it is an selinux problem rather than a Puppet problem. I have a problem copying a file and changing the seltype. I don''t think it is Nagios specific. Code is something like: file { ''/usr/sbin/nrpe'': source =>

Hi Aravinda, Very nice initiative, thank you very much! As as small recommendation it would be nice to have a "nagios/icinga" mode, maybe through a "-n" parameter which will do the health check and output the status ina nagios/icinga compatible format. As such this tool could be directly used by nagios for monitoring. Best, M. > -------- Original Message -------- >

I have to rebuild a new Nagios box and thought this might be a good time to migrate away. I use snmp mostly for everything but with the fork Nagios endured I wonder about putting any more effort into the project. I probably should look at OpenNMS again, but the other options I think might work are Icinga (Should be trivial to migrate) or Zenoss or maybe even Zabbix? Anyone have experience in

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 <<! !>>

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 got this directory configuration: file { "${codebase_ng::repository_mount}/${sonatype_work_dir}": ensure => directory, owner => $nexus_user, group => $nexus_group, mode => 0755, recurse => false, backup => false, } Today I added some 100GB of artifacts

I have set up puppet on Ubuntu/Debian servers with no problem. I am trying to get puppet working in a RHEL environment. I have the client installed and the certificate is signed so I know the two are talking but for some reason I can not get puppet to push the file on to the client. What am I missing? OS - RHEL5.7 Installation Source - epel-testing repo Puppet server version - 2.6.6 puppetd

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

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 currently trying to create icinga module and the icinga-web and icinga-idoutils-libdbi-mysql from rpmforge store the initial sql file in version numbered directory(/usr/share/doc/icinga-web-1.7.2/~~~). So, I try to determine the version number from the yum info like as below, but that repository installed after my yum module gets work done. Is there any ways to fetching custom

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I''me using nagios builtin types and I''m very surprised that the parameter *name* is not available for type nagios_host ?!? This parameter is required to use inheritance (http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/objectinheritance.html) and I don''t understand why it is not included in all nagios types ? Maybe someone has

Hi all I have been pondering this for a while, but not yet seen a clean way to do it I have a few puppet classes (apache/ntp/mysql/bacula/nagios/etc) I would like to generate part of my bacula and nagios configs for each host based on which other classes that host belongs to (or to put it another way, I would like to export variables from classes which would be used by my bacula and nagios

On my network management server I have Name : nagios-plugins-nrpe Arch : x86_64 Version : 2.13 Release : 1.el6 Size : 38 k Repo : installed From repo : epel To my dismay I noticed that this doesn't seem to support IPv6: [ts at bombur ~]$ host galadriel.example.com galadriel.example.com has IPv6 address 2001:db8:f004:8::32 [ts at bombur ~]$

Hi, For several years, we have @work had a puppet environment where when we add a new host/node, some basic monitoring is fed through to a nagios server using virtual resources and an old nagios class which either someone here wrote themselves, or found on the internet at the time. We are trying to move away from the existing puppet environment for a number of reasons, and using this as an
