Description:
alignakchecksalignak 1.1.0
Checks pack for monitoring Alignak daemons with the Nagios monitoring check_tcp
Note: this check pack is only an example for checking Alignak daemons using the Nagios check_tcp command. Please feel free to comment or suggest improvements :)
Installation
The installation of this checks pack will copy some configuration files in the Alignak default configuration directory (eg. /usr/local/share/alignak/etc). The copied files are located in the default sub-directory used for the packs (eg. arbiter/packs).
From PyPI
To install the package from PyPI:
sudo pip install alignak-checks-alignak
From source files
To install the package from the source files:
git clone https://github.com/Alignak-monitoring-contrib/alignak-checks-alignak
cd alignak-checks-alignak
sudo pip install .
Note: using `sudo python setup.py install` will not correctly manage the package configuration files! The recommended way is really to use `pip`;)
Documentation
Configuration
This checks pack is using the check_http Nagios (or Monitoring) plugin that must be installed on the Alignak server running your poller daemon. You may install the common Nagios plugins or the alignak-checks-monitoring package (see the corresponding repo).
It is also checking information directly from the Algnak arbiter API endpoints thanks to an embedded script.
Alignak configuration
For a standard Alignak host, you simply have to tag the concerned host with the template alignak.:
# An host with all the Alignak daemons
define host{
use alignak
host_name my_alignak
address 127.0.0.1
}
For a specific configuration, set the ` _satellites` host variable with the list of your configured daemons:
# An host with some specific Alignak daemons
define host{
use alignak
host_name my_alignak
address 127.0.0.1
# Default satellites is one instance of each type
# Service generator variable:
# - $(type)
# - $(unique name)
# - $(port)

}
When using the alignak backend, use the setup.sh script provided in the json/elasticsearch directory to include all the package information into your backend
# Backend configuration
$ json/alignak/setup.sh -b http://127.0.0.1:5000 -u admin -p admin
Note that this command line is executed when installing the package from pip. If your backend is not set locally, you can specify its address thanks to the -b command line parameter.
