Nagios
Introduction

o MRTG
• (Multi Router Traffic Grapher), is free software for monitoring and measuring the traffic load on network links. It
allows the user to see traffic load on a network over time in graphical form.
o RRDTool
• (Round-Robin Database Tool) aims to handle time series data such as network bandwidth, temperatures or CPU load.
The data is stored in a circular buffer based database, thus the system storage footprint remains constant over time.
o Nagios
• is a free and open source computer-software application that monitors systems, networks and infrastructure
o Ganglia
• is a scalable, distributed monitoring tool for high-performance computing systems, clusters and network
o Cacti
• is an open-source, web-based network monitoring and graphing tool designed as a front-end application for the open-
source, industry-standard data logging tool RRDtool

o Nagios, now known as Nagios Core, is a free and open source computer-software
application that monitors systems, networks and infrastructure. Nagios offers
monitoring and alerting services for servers, switches, applications and services. It
alerts users when things go wrong and alerts them a second time when the problem
has been resolved.

o NSCA
• is used for performing passive checks in Nagios
Remote Monitor
Ref: Nagios Core Addons

o NRPE, Nagios Remote Plugin Executor, is an
addon that allows you to execute plugins on
remote Linux/Unix hosts. This is useful if you
need to monitor local resources/attributes like
disk usage, CPU load, memory usage, etc. on a
remote host. Similiar functionality can be
accomplished by using the check_by_ssh plugin,
although it can impose a higher CPU load on
the monitoring machine - especially if you are
monitoring hundreds or thousands of hosts.
NRPE

o NSCA, Nagios Service Check Acceptor, is an
addon that allows you to send passive check
results from remote Linux/Unix hosts to the
Nagios Core daemon running on the
monitoring server. This is very useful in
distributed and redundant/failover monitoring
setups.
NSCA

o Step 1. Install
o remote:~ # yum install nagios-plugins-all
remote:~ # yum install nrpe
o Step 2. Configuration
o remote:~ # vi /etc/nagios/nrpe.cfg
allowed_hosts=<nagios_ip>
dont_blame_nrpe=1
command[check_disk]=/usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_disk $ARG1$
command[secure_check_disk]=/usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_disk -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$ -p $ARG3$
command[check_all_disk]=/usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_disk -w 20% -c 10% -e
o Step 3. Start Service
o remote:~ # systemctl start nrpe
remote:~ # systemctl enable nrpe
o Step 4. Setup firewall
o remote:~ # firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=5666/tcp --permanent
remote:~ # firewall-cmd --reload
Install NRPE on Remote

o Step 1. Install
o nagios:~ # yum install nagios-plugins-nrpe
o Step 2. Test
o nagios:~ # /usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_nrpe -H <remote_ip> -c check_disk -a '-w 20% -c 10% -p /'
o Step 3. Configure
o nagios:~ # vi /etc/nagios/conf.d/nodes.cfg
o Step 3. Restart Service
o nagios:~ # systemctl restart nagios
Install NRPE on Nagios

RRDTool On Nagios

o Synchronous Mode
o Bulk Mode
o Bulk Mode with NPCD
o Bulk Mode with npcdmod
o Gearman Mode
Mode
Ref: Modes

o The “synchronous mode” is the
simplest and easiest to set up. Nagios
will call the perl script
process_perfdata.pl for every service
and host, respectively, to process the
data. The synchronous mode will work
very good up to about 1,000 services in
a 5 minute interval.
Synchronous Mode

o In bulk mode Nagios writes the necessary data
to a temporary file. After expiration of a
defined time the file will be processed in one
piece and deleted afterwards.
o The number of calls of process_perfdata.pl will
be reduced to a fraction. Depending on time
and the amount of collected data there will be
much less system calls. Instead,
process_perfdata.pl will run longer.
o Note Using this mode you should keep an eye
on the runtime of process_perfdata.pl. While it
is running to process data nagios will not
execute any checks.
Bulk Mode

o Nagios again uses a temporary file to store the
data and executes a command after expiration
of a certain time. Instead of immediate
processing by process_perfdata.pl the file is
moved to a spool directory. As moving a file
inside the same filesystem nearly takes no time
nagios is able to execute crucial work
immediately.
o The NPCD daemon (Nagios Performance C
Daemon) will monitor the directory for new
files and will pass the names to
process_perfdata.pl. Processing of performance
data is decoupled completely from nagios.
NPCD itself is able to start multiple thread for
processing the data.
Bulk Mode with NPCD

o This scenario includes npcdmod.o, an
NEB-module. This module reduces the
configuration of the “Bulk Mode with
NPCD” to a mere two lines in
nagios.cfg
o This mode is similar to “Bulk Mode
with NPCD” and it is exactly the same
functionality and the same
performance.
Bulk Mode with npcdmod

o Since version 0.6.12 PNP4Nagios can be
driven as a gearman worker. This way
large Nagios environments are possible
using mod_gearman. Nagios and
PNP4Nagios can be run on different
machines.
