Nagios Plugin for Cacti (NPC) 2.0.4

[sukanta]

same problem for me also..No host although there is host in MYSQL table npc_hosts.

For me issue was that pdo_mysql was not enable in php. After recompile PHP with --enable-pdo=mysqlnd --with-pdo-mysql=mysqlnd problem resolved!

Check for apache error log which will help you....

Everything seems to work, except no entries on NPC screen/tab under Nagios. The dashboard layout/menus are there, but no data.

Keep getting these 2 msgs in https error_log

[Fri Dec 02 14:12:47 2011] [error] [client x.x.x.x] PHP Notice: Undefined index: action in /var/www/html/cacti/plugins/npc/top_graph_header.php on line 95, referer: http://1.2.3.4/cacti/graph_view.php?act ... first=true

PHP Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Doctrine_Connection_Exception' with message 'Couldn't locate driver named mysql' in /var/www/html/cacti/plugins/npc/lib/Doctrine/Connection.php .....
Edit
OK, solved 2nd one by correctly activating pdo_mysql in /etc/php.d/pdo_mysql.ini for anyone else
End Edit

Anyone got the answer(s) to qn 1?

Feel free to ask for more info if reqd

... replying to myself to put a new qn...

1. prev settings still apply plus edit as mentioned.

2. remaining error msg has changed slightly to

Code: Select all

I'm no PHP programmer, but it looks like utilities.php is calling top_graph_header.php with an action 'action=view_tech' that it doesn't have a code section for ...
Am I right, is this a versioning issue between cacti & npc ???

NPC Needs and update. I have attempted to contact Billy, but have yet to receive a response. He works for Coviscint according to his contact details. He may have been restricted from communicating with this community. I'm not too sure yet.

TheWitness

[chrism01]

It would be great if you can contact him.
Integrating Cacti & Nagios into 1 interface makes perfect sense and I'm sure a lot of people would use it.
See the size of this mega-thread and the other threads.
However, it's a non-trivial tool and really needs some expert support either from himself or maybe as an officially supported plugin by Cacti (or maybe both ?).

Fingers crossed

Cheers
Chris

[TheWitness]

We've hooked up. The balls in The Cacti Groups court at the moment.

[chrism01]

Excellent

[chrism01]

Ok, I've blown my install away and done it over in order to document a (hopefully) clean / orderly install.
Took me a while but its all (mostly) working now.
I may publish my HOWTO eventually.

Anyway, I now get exactly 3 msgs

Code: Select all

whenever I click into the npc tab.
This is 100% reproducible, so I'm thinking it should help Cacti Groups/Divagater to fix it.

SW versions:
RHEL 5.0
Apache/2.2.3
cacti-0.8.7h
cacti-plugin-0.8.7h-PA-v3.0
cairo 1.6.4
nodutils 1.4b7

pixman 0.10.0
rrdtool 1.4.5
nagios 3.3.1

mysql 5.0.22

Feel free to ask for more info

Cheers

PS: I've seen the same qn re those 3 msgs posted elsewhere on the net, but no (good) answers; at least I know it's not just me ...

[yellowpaper]

Why do I get forwarded to amazon when I a m trying to download the plugin? weird =/
None of the links on that site returns a valid download.

http://trac.assembla.com/npc/wiki/NPCDownload

[chrism01]

@yellowpaper; yeah, homesite has had issues for a while; see fuzion's link http://www.mediafire.com/?iefyesb24ppsbwl

[Tristaneo2008]

Hi,

The plugin is working but not the N2C part. I can see my hostgroups, I see the progress bar BUT nothing is imported.

Hoping a solution

Hi all,
Is there anybody who managed to make NPC 2.0.4 work?
After many hours of google-ing and forums reading, etc I was able to arrive maybe in the same point with "Tristaneo2008" but
- my apache is staying between 50 - 200% CPU,
- still getting a lot of "Non-static method NpcServicesController::getServiceStatesByHost() should not be called statically"
- a lot of "PHP Notice: Undefined offset: 0 in .../cacti/plugins/npc/controllers/nagios.php on line 105," and line 111
- a lot of " Undefined index: action in ...cacti/plugins/npc/top_graph_header.php on line 95, referer:"...

So, should I bother make it work (and how?) or is it a dead cause?

Thanks for any help.
(mean while I'll continue ridding those previous pages, maybe I'll find something helpful)
