Nagios Plugin for Cacti (NPC) Released
Moderators: Developers, Moderators
Need help with starting nagios with the compiled inserter.o file.......Nagios starts fine and works but not with the module..

Where do I specify my mysql.sock in the inserter.c file to re- make it///
seems the NULL variable that's in inserter.c points to /var/run/mysqld.sock... my socket is /tmp/mysql.sock

THANKS
I figured it out////
Step 1) modified my inserter.c file again...replaced socket variable that was NULL to "/tmp/mysql.sock" which is the socket mysql runs // Copied the new inserter.c file to Nagios src....re-ran make to recreate inserter.o ...etc...U know the rest.
(!mysql_real_connect(&mysql,"localhost","***","***","cactidb",3306,"/tmp/mysql.sock",0)) {sprintf(error,"nagios-db: inserter failed to connect to db (%s), disabling module!", mysql_error(&mysql));
Step 2) went into mysql and had to change my password settings to use the old_password style ......i'm running mysql 4.1.15 but this still gave me an error.. log into mysql>>>
mysql> set password for root@localhost=old_password('***');
mysql> set password for root=old_password('***');
mysql> flush privileges;
*** NOTE> please use whatever user u enabled in your inserter.c file as your permissions to connect to your DB.
then restarted Nagios and it worked...\ Here is the output from my nagios.log>>>>>

Just curious about what could be done....
has anybody thought of reading the nagios perdata and parsing it?
it has the info about the hosts and services from nagios. reading it once every five minutes it should be possible to create some sort of interface for adding data into the cacti db.. possibly a long shot but it could be quite useful... sure it's easier the other side around (using cacti data in nagios) but the options to configrue nagios are way more than thos used in cacti...
any thoughts?
Ciao, Luca

I'm running Solaris 9 (sparc) with the latest patches, mysql 4.1.18 (i've tried 5.0.18 and it does the same thing. Is there any way to compile the object without needing -lmysqlclient or -lz? Can they be linked after the fact with ld? If so, how would I go about doing that?Code: Select all

Stinkybob, what was your issue? I'm getting the same error.
Me, I use Solaris 8 with sparc processor.
Thanks for all help !

Can anyone say if this plugin should work with the latest version of Nagios?
If so, can anyone describe the process of getting the plugin to see the upgrade? I only had a single host in the old version (which worked well with the plugin), the localhost. However, after the upgrade Nagios has that host configured again but the plugin still shows it as down, as it has since I began the upgrade process.

I am using it with Nagios 2.4 as of a few days ago. I have several hundred hosts.knobdy wrote:Can anyone say if this plugin should work with the latest version of Nagios?

I didn't need to make any changes for the plugin to work - but, I did have to recompile the inserter to work with the new nagios version.
Yeah, I had completely forgotten about the module.slander wrote:I didn't need to make any changes for the plugin to work - but, I did have to recompile the inserter to work with the new nagios version.
I don't recall if I had to create a "module" directory for nagios before - but I recompiled it with the event broker enabled and reinstalled and it didn't create it. I created it myelf and placed the recompiled inserter.c there - and added back the link. Still, no love.
One thing that also changed with the new version is that Nagios was installed in usr/share/nagios and now it's in /usr/local/nagios. I changed the pointer in NPC's configuration through the Cacti console - but it's asking for nagios.cmd (which I don't have)...??

For me, that line is /usr/local/nagios/var/rw
the nagios.cmd file is a pipe. I think it will create it itself.
One other thing - did you remember to change the database info in the inserter source code, since that is compiled in?
