As part of a student-project we've implemented the nagios-cfg from woody with a few adjustments and a script for adding passive hosts to a central in a distributed-monitoring environment.

We've not yet made the script for changing the names of hosts(tjener to tjener-moelv for instance) locally for easy identification in a distributed-monitoring environment, but it'll come. So do this manually for now.

If someone would care to test this package and mail me bugs and flaws, I would appreciate it. It will set things up with the Norwegian hostname-types.

Get the package here: http://hovedprosjekter.hig.no/v2005/data/Gr8_Nettverk/files/ncs-sarge.0.1-2.deb



hmm, that filename looks wrong. I dont think "sarge" should be included in the package name. Maybe it should be part of the version some time later, but for now I guess it should work with both sarge and sid. There should be dependencies to prevent it to be installed on a woody installation, if it wont work there.

I dont think I will included it on the CD until you fix that name. Others are of course free to include it, or tell me that I'm wrong.


Ok, I'm more than willing to change the name og the package for the CD, but for testing purposes it doesn't matter.

Before installing it on the main-server, you have to have nagios (nagios-text and nagios-common),nsca and libnetaddr-ip-perl installed, get both via apt-get if not allready installed.



That should be solved by the dependencies. So that you could only run
apt-get -f install
after you have done a dpkg -i ncs_something.deb

Should the name be changed to something that reflect that we call ourself debian-edu now ?


This will set up the nagios-config for your local skolelinux-network like in the old woody. The services which are preconfigured will come up, but I have to know which services that should be monitored so I can add these.

To get the distributed-monitoring to work you have to edit the submit_check_result_via_nsca script, on the distributed server (tjener on your local network) and type the address to the central-server, which also "has to" have this package installed. If this is done correctly you should now run the add-passive script on the central server to add hosts you would like to monitor. The hostnames you add have to be the same names which are set up locally.

I've tested this package myself on a pr01-system.



Did you detect anything else on a pr01-system ?


The pr01 works fine, haven't really gotten around to try much, but atleast KDE works =)

Also noticed that nagios doesn't come with pr01
