Configuring Nagios Client : NRPE Plugin

-
                                                                           
We have discussed how to "Install Nagios Core on Amazon Linux Instance ". Please check the link for reference : http://linuxhotcoffee.blogspot.in/2016/03/installing-nagios-core-on-amazon-linux.html

My current Infrastructure details is given below : OS & Private IP

Monitoring Server : Amazon Linux Instance (10.10.1.100)
Client Server : Ubuntu (10.10.1.10)


Create User nagios and install below mentioned package

sudo useradd -m nagios
sudo apt-get install libssl-dev openssl xinetd build-essential


Now lets configure Monitoring server . Install NRPE on monitoring server.You can download the latest version of NRPE from Official Download page.Current latest version is NRPE 2.15 .Download the latest release using wget

cd ~
wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/nagios/nrpe-2.x/nrpe-2.15/nrpe-2.15.tar.gz
wget http://nagios-plugins.org/download/nagios-plugins-2.1.1.tar.gz
Extract the tar file

tar -xvzf  nrpe-2.15.tar.gz
tar xzf nagios-plugins-2.1.1.tar.gz
Change the directory to

 cd nagios-plugins-2.1.1/

 Compile and install Plugin

 ./configure --with-nagios-user=nagios --with-nagios-group=nagios --with-openssl
make
make install
Change the directory to

cd nrpe-2.15/

Compile and install NRPE

./configure --with-ssl=/usr/bin/openssl --with-ssl-lib=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
make install-plugin
make install-daemon
make install-daemon-config
make install-xinetd

Now modify the "only_from"  line in  /etc/xinetd.d/nrpe

vi /etc/xinetd.d/nrpe
only_from = 127.0.0.1 10.10.1.1000

Restart the xinetd service

service xinetd restart

Configuration on Nagios Monitor server is completed ,now we can move with configuration of Client Server

Install Nagios plugin and NRPE on Client Server

apt-get install nagios-plugins nagios-nrpe-server


Configure the Monitor Server ip on client nrpe.cfg file

vi /etc/nagios/nrpe.cfg

find allowed_hosts section in the file and add like the following

allowed_hosts=127.0.0.1,10.10.1.100


Restart then NRPE Service

service nagios-nrpe-server restart

Datastax Error : Cannot start node if snitch's data center (dc1) differs from previous data center (dc2)

-

This error occurs when the node try to start and see it has snitch information which differ from previous data center. In my case, i was using DseSimpleSnitch which name the datacenter based on workload type. Previously i had enabled solr in dse default configuration file ( /etc/default/dse ) and datasenter name was Solr. Now i tried to start the dse with graph enabled, which change the name to datacenter SearchGraph which is default workload type name. CassandraDaemon.java:698 - Cannot start node if snitch's data center (Solr) differs from previous data center (SearchGraph). Please fix the snitch configuration, decommission and rebootstrap this node or use the flag -Dcassandra.ignore_dc=true Solution : 1) In the last line of  cassandra-env.sh  set in the jvm opts as given below : JVM_OPTS="$JVM_OPTS -Dcassandra.ignore_dc=true" 2) If it starts successfully, execute: nodetool repair nodetool cleanup

Configure Nagios plugin " check_logfiles " for scanning log file

-
I was checking for a nagios plugin which could filter the specified log file which i had mentioned and notify me whenever a warning or error appeared in log. Finally i get in hand check_logfile created by Gerhard Lausser. Check_logfiles is used to scan the lines of a file for regular expressions. Install the plugin on client system :  $ wget https://labs.consol.de/assets/downloads/nagios/check_logfiles-3.8.0.2.tar.gz $ tar xvzf check_logfiles-3.8.0.2.tar.gz $ cd check_logfiles-3.8.0.2/ $ ./configure $ make $ make install check_logfiles executable file will get installed on location "/usr/local/nagios/libexec" Configure Check Pattern : $ nano  /etc/nagios-plugins/config/check_log.cfg @searches = (   {     tag => 'Error',     logfile => '/var/logs/error.log',     criticalpatterns => 'Error',   } ); Here i am filtering pattern "Error" from log file which i had mentioned in logfile parameter section C
