Apan Configurations

[Fredrik Wänglund]

I am currently working on an HOWTO section in the docs on Apans homepage.

Here's the short one (assuming tou have installed the files and defined the command):

1) Define a sevice in Nagios with apan as check_command and the plugin-name as first argument;
define service{
host_name                      server
service_description            Ping
...
check_command                  apan!ping!100.0,20%!500.0,60%
...
}

2) Create a RRD_file
rrdtool create /usr/local/nagios/rrd/server_Ping.rrd -s 60 DS:ping:GAUGE:300:0:U RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:1:50400 RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:60:43800

3) Define the serice in apan.cfg
server;Ping;/usr/local/nagios/rrd/server_ping.rrd;ping;ping:LINE2;Ping round-trip time;Secondsefine the serice in apan.cfg

4) Add a URL and icon to the service
define serviceextinfo{
host_name               server
service_description     Ping
notes_url               /nagios/cgi-bin/apan.cgi?host=server&service=Ping
icon_image              graph.png
...
}

I set up Orca as your normally would on a standalone box, and then 
defined an external url (via notes_url in extended information) per 
Orca'ed host. So while viewing everything via the Nagios gui, clicking 
the url associated with each host would whisk you away to the host's 
Orca graph.

Depending on when Apan comes out with a working howto, I might write a 
Orca+Nagios howto, or perhaps a smokeping+nagios howto.

Apan will be nice as it will achieve the same results as Orca with the 
nice rrdtool graphs, but there won't be a need to set up third party 
software.
