Michael also fixed up my syntax mistakes and improved some things in my module. + +Then, today, after noticing n2 was down, and no-one had noticed, thought maybe it was time to deploy xymon. Besides time spent on waiting for puppet, the actual effort now was about 15 to 30 minutes (but, I see some nodes haven't got their xymon::client applied by puppet yet). + +><i> BTW, we should consider use icinga (<A HREF="http://www.icinga.org/">http://www.icinga.org/</A>) which is +</I>><i> a +</I>><i> more friendle fork of nagios +</I> +I don't think we are currently big enough to warrant death-by-configuration. While xymon currently doesn't have multiple-inheritance, it is relatively flexible, and comes with quite a lot out-of-the-box (AFAIK, nagios still requires a bit of work for graphing all filesystems, network interface traffic, response times. While xymon requires some configuration for graphing network connections, number of specific processes, etc., it is very minimal). + +If you prefer Nagios, feel free to replace Xymon, if you can at least meet the current features we have: + +<A HREF="http://xymon.mageia.org/">http://xymon.mageia.org/</A> + +(Currently, there is no authentication configured. Authentication is often separated by access to the cgi-bin vs cgi-secure locations, but at present rely entirely on Apache access control. I will probably require LDAP authentication to sysadm group for /cgi-secure, but maybe this warrants discussion) + +However, I think we should rather spend time on ensuring we know what we *should* monitor. We only have on Xymon extension really packaged (devmon, for SNMP polling), but I will probably package some more (we use a few at work, but I haven't really bothered to package them yet). + +One that may be interesting is dbcheck.pl, a relatively generic database monitoring extension that supports at least Oracle, MySQL, and a few other proprietary databases. Adding support for Postgresql would be relatively easy, mainly a matter of knowing what the SQL queries should be. + +I have one for OpenLDAP replication and performance monitoring, but we don't have any LDAP replicas yet, so I might address that first. + +Regards, +Buchan +</PRE> + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="002968.html">[Mageia-sysadm] [RPM] cauldron core/release tagtool-0.12.3-2.mga1 +</A></li> + <LI>Next message: <A HREF="002996.html">[Mageia-sysadm] our new server, rabbit +</A></li> + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#2993">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#2993">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#2993">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#2993">[ author ]</a> + </LI> + </UL> + +<hr> +<a href="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-sysadm">More information about the Mageia-sysadm +mailing list</a><br> +</body></html> |
