SV: Sitesummary, munin and nagios

Thanks,

That was a nice summary. Maybe it should be added to docs?

I tried to make a file called tjener:/etc/sitesummary/nagiosignore

For now it has only one entry;

ltspserver00.intern process - dhcpd

It is owned by root, but readable to all.

That, as I understand it, should make sitesummary to ignore the dhcpd service on ltspserver00? Its supposed to be created on main server (tjener) not ltspserver00?

But nothing happens. Still nagios complains about dhcpd on ltspserver00 not running (which is correct by the way, just want to get rid of the warning).

Are there any other way to control what entries sitesummary ads to /var/lib/sitesummare/nagios-generated.cfg?

It contain two steps, one is sitesummary gathering information and
storing it in /var/lib/sitesummary/entries/, and the next is generating
nagios setup and storing it in
/var/lib/sitesummary/nagios-generated.cfg. This file is activated by
using /etc/nagios3/sitesummary.cfg as the Nagios setup.

I'm not quite sure if such fine graded setup is easy to do, but
notifications can be adjusted in
/etc/nagios3/sitesummary-template-contacts.cfg.

This would be done by removing obsolete entries from
/var/lib/sitesummary/entries/. You can use
'/usr/lib/sitesummary/agesinceseen-summary -l' to find the entries that
did not report in recently.

Yes.

I suspect a good way is to make sure cfg_dir is active in
/etc/nagios3/sitesummary.cfg, and add the configuration in
/etc/nagios3/conf.d/. Or you can just create a new file and list it in
sitesummary.cfg with cfg_file.
