Nagios Plugin for Cacti (NPC) Released

[t3ch]

@Teecee: You have to build it in the sourcetree of nagios.
What gives:
ls ../include

Please forgive my ignorance. Linux is new to me. By sourcetree do you mean where nagios is install aka /usr/local/nagios? When I do a ls ../include it just brings me back to the prompt.

[Teecee]

I think I am confused about the wording in the readme. I already have nagios 2.0 up and running. I also already have cacti up and running. Do I need to recompile and install nagios with the ncp plugin in the nagios dirctory that I made by extracting the latest nagios build? I have been trying to add this plugin into my existing nagios.

[t3ch]

You can try this compiled version. Although from OpenSuse 10, it should work. Put it in the directory "modules" - create if not existent.
You should have: <somewhere>
|
nagios
/ \
plugins modules

Hope this helps...

I did that using your inserter. On the readme where it tells me to edit the inserter.c and add in my mysql stuff, wouldnt that not work with your inserter.0 since my password and username will be different? No hosts are showing up in my NPC tab.

[Teecee]

I got it working. I was trying to run the installer.c in the running nagios directory. I did not know that the source directory meant where I compiled nagios. All is working now. Thanks.

I seem to be having all kinds of library problems relating to mysql.

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?

Went to download the npc plugin, but the website link is not available. Could someone please post the tar.gz file if they have it?

Thanks

I am not sure if this is the newest or not, but here it is.

[wolvverine-pld]

here is patch for include headers : http://cvs.pld-linux.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb ... ders.patch
here is spec file (for PLD) : http://cvs.pld-linux.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb ... n-npc.spec

why homepage is currently unavailable? http://www.divagater.com/npc/

For anyone who is using Fruity RC1 to configure Nagios here is a small patch to add in the broker_module line under Main -> Other

Fairly straightforward copy the npc-fruity.patch into your fruity directory (eg. /var/www/html/fruity/) then run

Code: Select all

patch -p0 < npc-fruity.patch

You also need to alter the fruity mysql db. You can do this by hand from within mysql admin

Code: Select all

use database fruity;
alter table nagios_main add column broker_module varchar (255);

or

Code: Select all

mysql -p fruity < npc-fruity-patch.sql

Thanks

Hi,

Does anyone know why this website http://www.divagater.com/npc/ isn't running ?
Does there exist a mirror ?

[knobdy]

Has development of this plugin been abandoned perhaps?

[julpie]

Hi everyone,

I've just installed NPC plug-in for Nagios. It tooks me four days, but now I'm proud . Thank you for this great job.

However, there's two things which are not running.
1) serviceGroups.php and hostGroups.php are missing. Are these files in development or did I make somethink wrong (who said again? ) ?
2) In the documentation we can read: "console -> Devices -> <device>
~ After clicking to edit a device you will see a new field called <Nagios Host Mapping>. " For my localhost, I've just "None". Is that normal ?

Thank you for your help.

Hi all. I have been away from these forums for quite a while. I apologize that the site hosting NPC went down. Some one did post NPC to this forum with the following link:

http://forums.cacti.net/download.php?id=5127

That is still the latest release available. NPC has not been abandoned. My production environemnt relies heavily on Cacti and NPC. The little company I worked for was bought buy a very big comapny a few months ago. All my spare time has been involved with integrating our technologies and since NPC worked "good enough" I have not touched it. Thats the problem with 1 man projects

I am currently "albeit slowly" working on a big rewrite of NPC to use the ndo2db module written by Ethan Galstad. His module will support all Nagios events and will likely stay up to date with new Nagios features. I am also trying to integrate privilege seperation so hosts or services can be viewed only by people with the appropriate permissions.

I can't promise any time frame on this. If there are any PHP/MySQL folks that are interested in helping speed this along I would be glad to collaborate.
