1. Install necessery nagios debian packages <\/b><\/p>\n
2. Edit \/etc\/nagios-plugins\/config\/nt.cfg <\/b><\/p>\n In the File substitute:<\/p>\n With:<\/p>\n 3. Modify nrpe.cfg to put in allowd hoss to connect to the Nagions nrpe server <\/b><\/p>\n vim \/etc\/nagios\/nrpe.cfg<\/p>\n Lookup inside for nagios’s configuration directive:<\/p>\n In order to allow more hosts to report to the nagios nrpe daemon, change the value to let’s say:<\/p>\n This config allows the three IPs 192.168.1.4-6 to be able to report for nrpe.<\/p>\n For the changes to nrpe server to take effect, it has to be restrarted.<\/p>\n Further on some configurations needs to be properly done on the nrpe agent Windows hosts in this case 192.168.1.4,192.168.1.5,192.168.1.6 <\/b><\/p>\n 4. Install the nsclient++ on all Windows hosts which CPU, Disk, Temperature and services has to be monitored <\/b><\/p>\n Download the agent from http:\/\/sourceforge.net\/projects\/nscplus<\/i> and launch the installer, click twice on it and follow the installation screens. Its necessery that during installation the agent has the NRPE <\/b> protocol enabled. After the installation is complete one needs to modify the NSC.ini<\/b> Another requirement is to instruct the nsclient++ angent to have access to the Linux installed nagios server again with adding it to the allowed_hosts <\/b> config variable:<\/p>\n In my case the Nagios runs on Debian Lenny (Squeeze) 6 and possess the IP address of 192.168.1.1 <\/b> 5. Create necessery configuration for the nagios Linux server to include all the Windows hosts which will be monitored <\/b><\/p>\n There is a window.cfg<\/b> template file located in \/usr\/share\/doc\/nagios3-common\/examples\/template-object\/windows.cfg <\/b> on Debian.<\/p>\n The file is a good start point for creating a conf file to be understand by nagios and used to periodically refresh information about the status of the Windows hosts.<\/p>\n Thus it’s a good idea to copy the file to nagios3 config directory:<\/p>\n A sample windows.cfg content, (which works for me fine) and monitor a couple of Windows nodes running MS-SQL service and IIS and makes sure the services are up and running are:<\/p>\n The above config, can easily be extended for more hosts, or if necessery easily setup to track more services in nagios web frontend. Another good idea is to launch on the Windows host the NSClient++ (system tray) <\/b>, e.g.:<\/p>\n Test Nagios configuration from the Linux host running nagios and nrpe daemons to check if the check_nt<\/b>, can succesfully authenticate and retrieve data generated from the nsclient++ on the Windows host:<\/p>\n If everything is okay and the remote Windows system 192.168.1.5 <\/i> has properly configured and running NSClient++ <\/b> the above command should return an output like:<\/p>\n In case of the command returns:<\/p>\n instead this means that probably there is some kind of problem with authentication or handshake of the Linux host’s nagios check_nt<\/b> to the Windows server’s running on 12489.<\/p>\n This is sometimes caused by misconfigured NSC.ini <\/b> file, however in other occasions this error is caused by misconfigured Windows Firewall or because the NSClient++ is not running with Administrator user.<\/p>\n By the way important note to make about Windows 2008r2 is that if NSClient++<\/b> is running there it’s absolutely required to Login with Windows Administrator and run the NSClient++ \/start <\/i>, if it’s run through the Run As Adminsitrator <\/b> with an admin privileged user the aforementioned error might appear, so be careful. 7. Create nagios web iface Apache configuration <\/b><\/p>\n nagios debian pachage is shipped with a config which is suitable to be set The \/etc\/apache2\/sites-available\/nagios <\/b> can easily be configured to work on Virtualhost, to do so the above copied file need to be wrapped inside a VirtualHost directive. For that put in the beginning of the file;<\/p>\n and in the end of the file:<\/p>\n 8. Restart nagios server and Apache for the new settings to take effect <\/b><\/p>\n If some custom configuration about tracking the Debian Linux nagios host running services needs to be made, its also helpful for one to check in \/etc\/nagios3\/conf.d<\/b><\/p>\n Well that’s mostly what I had to do to make the Nagios3 server to keep track of a small Windows network on Debian GNU\/Linux Squeeze 6<\/b>, hope this small article help.<\/p>\n Fonte: pc-freak.net<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 1.
