CHAPTER 3 ■ MONITORING AND UPDATINGFigure 3-1. The Nagios tactical overview with only the basic configuration set upThe tactical overview shows an overview of hosts, services, and their states. For Nagios, hosts andservices can be in one of several states:• Pending means that it’s not done checking yet.• OK (shown in green) means that all is well.• There are several levels of not-OK states: yellow for Warning and red for Critical.You can set the detail of when these levels should be triggered in the config files. If you click aservice, you’ll be taken to a detailed page of information about that service (or host). There arenumerous other ways provided of looking at the information; click around a bit to try them.66Download at WoweBook.Com
CHAPTER 3 ■ MONITORING AND UPDATING■ Note To make the front page of the Nagios web interface more useful, you can set it to go straight to thetactical overview rather than to a home page. Edit /usr/share/nagios3/htdocs/index.html, and replacethis line:with this one:3-2. Adding Another Host to NagiosSo far, Nagios is monitoring the Nagios server machine itself and that one default gateway. Next, youneed to add a host, that is, another machine that you’re monitoring. The best way to do this is to create aconf.d/host-hostname.cfg file, named for the machine you want to monitor (here cepheus, so the file willbe conf.d/host-cepheus.cfg):define host{use generic-hosthost_name cepheusaddress 10.0.0.2}As you can see, this can be very basic; almost all the information is taken from the host template(see recipe 3-3 for more information about templates). Reload Nagios:/etc/init.d/nagios3 reloadIt will take maybe a minute to run the various checks before the data shows up on the web page, sobe patient.That’s your first very basic Nagios setup done. The server now checks itself and an external clientand will alert you to any problems.3-3. Using Templates in NagiosNagios provides templates as a way of saving yourself work. The previous recipe used one of these: take alook at the defaults defined for the localhost in conf.d/localhost_nagios2.cfg. The host definition andthe first service definition should look a bit like this:67Download at WoweBook.Com
