Created page with " == Headline text == '''NAGIOS INDIRECT MAPPING OF HOSTS''' For Environments that have multiple servers and only one server or firewall is accessible directly i.e one server..."

New page

== Headline text ==
'''NAGIOS INDIRECT MAPPING OF HOSTS'''

For Environments that have multiple servers and only one server or firewall is accessible directly i.e one server is accessible and all others may be accessed through it internally . Nagios mapping may be done via Indirect Host and Service Checks using nrpe.

Indirect checks are useful for:
Monitoring "local" resources (such as disk usage, processer load, etc.) on remote hosts

Monitoring services and hosts behind firewalls

Obtaining more realistic results from checks of time-sensitive services between remote hosts (i.e. ping response times between two remote hosts)

Indirect service check Senario :

As in 2coms there is a backup server associated with the main server indirectly accessible via the mailserver

Access IP : zimbraserver.2coms.com/115.248.160.99

Mailserver Internal Ip : 192.168.1.3 ( primary server)

Backup server Ip :`192.168.1.5 (secondary server)

== Procedure Taken : ==

== on directly accessible ( primary ) server : ==

1. Access mail-server ( server already mapped as directly accesible )

2. Install check_nrpe plugin if not present

# yum install nagios-plugins-nrpe

3. now add entry in nrpe.cfg for each service you want to check on the secondary/passive server as shown below :

COMMANDS FOR MAIN SERVER

command[check_users]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_users -w 5 -c 10

command[check_load]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_load -w 15,10,5 -c 30,25,20

# following commands are for backup server 192.168.1.5

command[check_users2]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H 192.168.1.5 -c check_users

command[check_load2]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H 192.168.1.5 -c check_load

command[check_zimbra_lmtp2]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H 192.168.1.5 -c check_zimbra_lmtp

== on Secondary ( Backup ) server : ==

Install nrpe and nagios plugins :

# yum install nrpe nagios-plugins-all

edit nrpe.cfg as follows :

allowed_hosts=127.0.0.1,192.168.1.3

And also add plugin definition as :

command[check_users]=/usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_users -w 5 -c 10

command[check_load]=/usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_load -w 15,10,5 -c 30,25,20

command[check_hda1]=/usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_disk -w 7% -c 5% -p /dev/hda3

command[check_hda2]=/usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_disk -w 7% -c 5% -p /dev/hda1

command[check_hda3]=/usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_disk -w 10% -c 5% -p /dev/sda1

command[check_zombie_procs]=/usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_procs -w 5 -c 10 -s Z

command[check_cpu]=/usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_cpu.sh -w 60 -c 70

command[check_mem]=/usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_mem_avail -w 130 -c 150

command[check_clam]=/usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_clamd -H localhost

command[check_queue]=/usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_postfix_queue -w 300 -c 500

Restart nrpe on this server

Restart nrpe on Primary server

== On Nagios Server : ==

Add Host entry in /usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/linux-box.cfg with Access Ip :

Entries for Primary Server :

define host{
use linux-server
host_name zimbraserver.2coms.com
alias zimbraserver.2coms.com
address 182.71.172.155
hostgroups Tetra Clients ; Host groups
}

Entries for Secondary Server :

define host{
use linux-server
host_name backupserver.2coms.com
alias backupserver.2coms.com
address 182.71.172.155
hostgroups Tetra Clients ; Host groups
}

Note : address field is same for both host

add service definition in /usr/local/nagios/etc/service/backupserver.2coms.com.cfg for all services already defined in nrpe.cfg on primary host

eg :

define service{
use generic-service
host_name backupserver.2coms.com
service_description Current Users
check_command check_nrpe!check_users2
}

check nagios configuration
/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg

Reload nagios configuration
/etc/init.d/nagios reload
