Alignak checks package for Unix/Linux NRPE checked hosts/services=================================================================*Checks pack for monitoring Unix/Linux hosts with NRPE active checks*.. image:: https://badge.fury.io/py/alignak_checks_linux_nrpe.svg :target: https://badge.fury.io/py/alignak-checks-linux-nrpe :alt: Most recent PyPi version.. image:: https://img.shields.io/badge/IRC-%23alignak-1e72ff.svg?style=flat :target: http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=%23alignak :alt: Join the chat #alignak on freenode.net.. image:: https://img.shields.io/badge/License-AGPL%20v3-blue.svg :target: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/agpl-3.0 :alt: License AGPL v3Installation------------The installation of this checks pack will copy some configuration files in the Alignak default configuration directory (eg. */usr/local/etc/alignak*). 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-linux-nrpeFrom source files~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~To install the package from the source files::: git clone https://github.com/Alignak-monitoring-contrib/alignak-checks-linux-nrpe cd alignak-checks-nrpe 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_nrpe` Nagios plugin that must be installed on the Alignak server running your poller daemon.For Unix (FreeBSD), you can simply install the NRPE plugin::: # Simple NRPE pkg install nrpe # NRPE with SSL pkg install nrpe-sslFor Linux distros, install the Nagios ``check_nrpe`` plugin from your system repository::: # Install local NRPE plugin sudo apt-get install nagios-nrpe-plugin # Note: This may install all the Nagios stuff on your machine...After installation, the plugins are commonly installed in the */usr/local/libexec/nagios* directory.The */usr/local/etc/alignak/arbiter/packs/resource.d/nrpe.cfg* file defines a global macrothat contains the NRPE check plugin installation path. You must edit this file to update the default path that is defined to the alignak ``NAGIOSPLUGINSDIR`` (defined in alignak default configuration).:: #-- NRPE check plugin installation directory # Default is to use the Alignak plugins directory NRPEPLUGINSDIR=NAGIOSPLUGINSDIR #--**Note:** the default value for ``NAGIOSPLUGINSDIR`` is set as */usr/lib/nagios/plugins* which is the common installation directory used by the Nagios plugins.Prepare monitored hosts~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Some operations are necessary on the monitored hosts if NRPE remote access is not yet activated.:: # Install local NRPE server su - apt-get update apt-get install nagios-nrpe-server apt-get install nagios-plugins # Allow Alignak as a remote host vi /etc/nagios/nrpe.cfg => allowed_hosts = X.X.X.X # Restart NRPE daemon /etc/init.d/nagios-nrpe-server startTest remote access with the plugins files::: /usr/local/var/libexec/alignak/check_nrpe -H 127.0.0.1 -t 9 -u -c check_load**Note**: This configuration is the default Nagios NRPE daemon configuration. As such it does not allow to define arguments in the NRPE commands and, as of it, the warning / critical threshold are defined on the server side.Alignak configuration~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~You simply have to tag the concerned hosts with the template ``linux-nrpe``.:: define host{ use linux-nrpe host_name linux_nrpe address 127.0.0.1 }The main ``linux-nrpe`` template only declares the default NRPE commands configured on the server.You can easily adapt the configuration defined in the ``services.cfg`` and ``commands.cfg.parse`` files.Bugs, issues and contributing-----------------------------Contributions to this project are welcome and encouraged ... `issues in the project repository <https://github.com/alignak-monitoring-contrib/alignak-checks-linux-nrpe/issues>`_ are the common way to raise an information.
