Nagios Plugin for Cacti (NPC) 2.0.4

[stevetuk31]

I am having the same issue as o51974.

I have read through all or most posts and haven't been able to find anything that would assist in resolving the problem. It would appear that most issues are down to inaccurate configuration. However, I believe my configuration to be accurate, or as per documentation.

My NPC page looks exactly the same as o51974, showing the nagios status information, plus I am getting information in the event log, which I guess would indicate NDOUtils is functioning as expected. I have also made sure, host and performance data is present in the DB.

I am hoping I haven’t missed anything obvious in the forum or documentation.

Any help would be much appreciated!

You need to use NDOUtils 1.4b7. There was a note here the other day about 1.4b8 changing something with SQL and a updated NPC coming out in 3-4 weeks to handle it. But you can use older version of NDOUtils and it will work. Thats what I did on my new box after having those NDO2DB errors.

Thanks erickbe. Sorted the problem.

Much appreciated.

This is perfect!! I have tested that NDOUtils 1.4b7 solves the problem of NO HOSTS/ SERVICES in both Centos 5.2 & 5.3.

Thank you VERY MUCH.

Hi,

Was curious if anyone else is having issues with the portlet configuration tab, as I am not able to change the refresh or display the number of rows. Both settings do not appear to be available for selection!

Thanks in advance

I was wondering if there was any way to use this plugin when my Nagios service is running on a different machine?

We have 4 cacti servers, and 2 nagios servers, querying about 500,000+ services, and 50,000 hosts, way too much for one server.

It would be nice to be able to view the nagios data in Cacti with this plugin. Is this possible? Perhaps via some NFS mounted volume or something so that the plugin can get at the nagios data?

Thanks!

[npc]

hello,
Same problem (cf o51974):
Successfully connected to data sink. ......, 5000 queued items to flush.
ndomod: Successfully flushed 5000 queued items to data sink.
cacti version=0.8.7d
cacti-Plugin Architecture=2.4
npc version=2.0.4
npc_hosts, npc_services are populated but graphs are empty.
I have spent lost of time to read this forum and i think it is a config_type problem.

config_type is 0 , parameter in settings have been tested 0 then 1

[deluxemongo]

hello,

i have got problems with the import of hots using the n2c funktion. cacti won't add the selected hosts.
is there anybody having the same problem or does anyone has a solution for this problem.

system:
SLES11
Cacti 087e
nagios 3.12
ndoutils 1.4b7
pluginaarch 087e
npc 204

[koaps]

Well, I finally got things working...

Missed the part about not creating a nagios database for ndoutils so wasn't sure why I wasn't seeing anything.

Changed to using cacti's database and things started working.

Though wondering why localhost doesn't show up in the hosts/services list, currently it's the only thing being monitored by nagios.

[nazark]

Hello,

I just installed fresh copy of cacti with NPC module, but I am unable to get hostgroup data from nagios.

npc tables are populated with nagios data

Hi, we have implemented a solution in order to allow the access to view hosts/services/hostgroups/hostservices in NPC only to the Nagios contacts of the corresponding hosts/services.

We have done changes in the following files of NPC:

models/NpcHosts.php
models/NpcServices.php
models/NpcHostgroupMembers.php
models/NpcServicegroupMembers.php

controllers/hosts.php -> function hosts()
controllers/services.php -> function services()
controllers/hostgroups.php -> function getHostgroups()
controllers/servicegroups.php -> function getServicegroups()

Requirements:
* Cacti with BuiltIn authentication method
* Same usernames in Cacti than those of the ALIAS tag in contacts.cfg of Nagios

Changes in models/NpcHosts.php:
* Add the line: $this->hasMany('NpcHostContacts as HostContact', array('local' => 'host_id', 'foreign' => 'host_id'));

Changes in models/NpcServices.php:
* Add the line: $this->hasOne('NpcServiceContacts as ServiceContact', array('local' => 'service_id', 'foreign' => 'service_id'));

Changes in models/NpcHostgroupMembers.php:
* $this->hasOne('NpcHosts as Hosts', array('local' => 'host_object_id', 'foreign' => 'host_object_id'));

Changes in models/NpcServicegroupMembers.php:
* $this->hasOne('NpcServices as Services', array('local' => 'service_object_id', 'foreign' => 'service_object_id'));

Changes in controllers / hosts.php, services.php, hostgroups.php and servicegroups.php:
* include_once("CACTI_PATH/include/config.php"); //for direct database connection to cacti DB
* new query to get the contact_object_id of the Cacti logged user
* modify the Doctrine query to join more required tables and include the new condition of the contact_object_id in the WHERE section of the DB query

Hi people,

I have just installed NPC on our existing Cacti setup it looks great however I have some issues...

I have no errors on the NPC tab, imports to the DB are working fab, by first Unix Socket, now TCP. and Nagios is not crashing great start...

However, in the NPC tab I cannot see any data in the fields, no hosts found no services etc..

I do get the green on Nagios, Notifications, Host Checks and Service Checks, but everything else is "no ..." etc...., same thing in the N2C, I get no hosts....

Now, in devices however, I have the drop down all populated with my nagios hosts, (proving once again I do have data in my tables, as I can see it from the cli also). They come up in the dropdown as default: Hostname etc.

But I cannot work out why nothing in the NPC tab is working...

Any help please, I have been at this all day!

Thanks in advance

[aaronnicoli]

Sorry for the bump guys, but I have some more information...

I thought I would install Centreon as a test to see if I can get the Nagios data into there, as it also uses the same ndo2db, so i went created second ndo configs added a new broker to nagios config and started a second ndo poller.

Restarted everything Nagios, httpd etc and same as NPC, I have all the data now being entered into both the Cacti - npc_ and Centreon SQL DB's, the conninfo table shows INITIAL connects and that the tables are populated...

However, same thing with Centreon as NPC, nothing shows up in the interface, no hosts or services or anything etc.

I am really surprised by this, it seems like I might have an NDO2DB problem rather than an NPC problem, is anyone still able to help or know of a contact to speak to about the issues I am having...?

Thanks again,

[ponwude]

Hi all, I have bin struggling with NPC and Cacti for 4 days now.

I followed all the instructions in http://trac2.assembla.com/npc/wiki/QuickStartGuide.

My Nagios looks ok and is monitoring the localhost. but i nothing shows up on the NPC side.

my setup is

Cacti 0.8.7e
Ubuntu 9.04
NPC 2.0.4
nagios 3.2.0
ndoutils 1.4b7 (i have tried with versions b8 and b9, no luck)

i have attached screenshots of my dashboard and nagios services page.

Please any help would be greatly appreciated. i honestly do not know where to start troubleshooting from.
