Analyse data from multiple nagios instances

[James Osbourn]

Have you added your web user to the Nagios group that you created?

Hello James and all,

I just installed check_mk and everything seem to go well with the installation, but when i try to login to the page via http i got the error msg bellow:

Configuration Error

nagiosadmin (None)     15:20 [http://unec-nms.unn.edu.ng/check_mk/images/mk_logo_small.gif] <http://mathias-kettner.de/>

________________________________
Your web server cannot create the directory /var/lib/check_mk/web/nagiosadmin, or cannot set the group to nagios or cannot set the permissions to 0770. Please make sure that:

 *   the base directory is writable by the web server.
 *   Both Nagios and the web server are in the group nagios.
Reason: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/var/lib/check_mk/web/nagiosadmin'
Any idea of how i can fix this permission problem?

Regards

I am not doing any analysis; I am just using the monitoring tools.  Someone else would have to comment on this feature.

Hello James,

Thank you for providing this, i will work on it. Nevertheless, i will also appreciate if anyone could suggest what tools i could use to achieve my goals...i.e exporting data from nagios and  analysing them on a central location to present graphical representation.

Thanks once again James.

Cheers

A brief overview is as follows, you will need to check each parts documentation for exact details for your environment.

Install a server with Nagios, or use one of your existing servers.  Install Check MK Multisite, there are some good instructions here http://mathias-kettner.de/checkmk_multisite_setup.html

You then need to install MK Live status on each of your Nagios servers for the multisite server to connect to them.  Update your Multisite config to know about the different sites and then have a play and see what you get.

Hello James,

Thanks a lot for responding, your solution is a very good place to start; though it may not analyze but for knowledge sake could you share the proceeds you followed to achieve this?

Regards

I have setup a Multisite MK server to pool all of my site Nagios servers into a single view.  I can see the status of all hosts/services from one location and acknowledge and schedule outages etc from this interface.  Any graphing can be viewed, although this is a connection to the graph pages on the individual site servers.  I am not sure if this will allow for analysis of the data as the specific state data is still stored on the site Nagios servers.

Dear all,

I have different nagios setup in multiple locations and they are independently working fine. However i need each of these nagios instances to send historical data of a particular host to a central server for analysis and graphical representations. Does anyone know a plugin or software i could use to achieve my goal?

Regards
