Assign Service to Host¶

A service should be grouped under a specify service group to ease the configuration tasks.

[Important] Prepare the following information before begin:

• host name - the host name of the host to be assigned
• service group - the group name of the service to be monitored

List of available services:

• DB2
• Third Party Service
• eCosway Application
• Jboss
• Server Resources

Assign DB2 service¶

Assumes that the target DB2 host has a nagios user and the user has the monitor related privileges assigned.

The currently available commands for DB2 service are:

• db2_connect_cmd - check the time taken to establish connection to DB2

You may need the following additional information:

• database name - the name of the database to be monitored
• warning threshold - the warning threshold of this service in seconds unit, e.g. 3 for seconds
• critical threshold - the critical threshold of this service in seconds unit, e.g. 5 for seconds

Steps¶

1. login to the nagios server with nagios user
2. edit the /usr/local/nagios/etc/ecosway/services/db2_services.cfg
   

   nagios$ vi /usr/local/nagios/etc/ecosway/services/db2_services.cfg
   

• Template:
  

  define service{
          use                     db2-service
          service_description     describe your service here
          host_name               host name
          check_command           db2_connect_cmd!database name!warning threshold!critical threshold
          }
  

• Example:
  

  define service{
          use                     db2-service
          service_description     DB2 Connect - MY_STORE database
          host_name               cwydb1
          check_command           db2_connect_cmd!my_store!3!5
          }
  

Assign Third Party Service¶

This service is using NRPE addon and check_http command. Therefore, you may refer to the NRPE for the configuration details.

I will assume that you have the following things configured on the remote host and got the NRPE up and running in the background:

• Remote Host: /usr/local/nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg
  

  ... skip 
  
  # UPS
  command[check_ups_sav]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_http -I onlinetools.ups.com -S -u /webservices/XAV -w 10 -c 12
  command[check_ups_rate]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_http -I onlinetools.ups.com -S -u /webservices/Rate -w 10 -c 12
  
  # Avalara
  command[check_avatax]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_http -I avatax.avalara.net -S -u / -w 10 -c 12 -e "HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden" 
  
  # Authorize.net
  command[check_authorize]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_http -I secure.authorize.net -S -u /gateway/transact.dll -w 10 -c 12
  
  ... skip
  

Steps¶

1. login to the nagios server with nagios user
2. edit /usr/local/nagios/etc/ecosway/services/ex_services.cfg
   

   nagios$ vi /usr/local/nagios/etc/ecosway/services/ex_services.cfg
   

• assume that you'd like to monitor Avatax; the check_avatax remote command would be used for this example.
• Template:
  

  define service{
          use                             ex-service
          host_name                       host name
          service_description             put your description here
          check_command                   check_nrpe!put the remote check command here
          }
  

• Example:
  

  define service{
          use                             ex-service
          host_name                       cwyapp1
          service_description             Avalara - Avatax
          check_command                   check_nrpe!check_avatax
          }
  

Assign eCosway Service¶

This services are configured to run on remote host. However, this services could configure to run on nagios server instead.

To monitor this, the NRPE addon and check_http commnd will be used. You could refer to the NRPE for the configuration details. Besides that, the following configuration must exist on the remote host:

• /usr/local/nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg
  

  ... skip
  
  command[check_dotcom]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_http -H 192.168.2.66 -I 127.0.0.1 -u /ecosway/mall_main.jsp -w 5 -c 7
  
  ... skip
  

Steps¶

1. login to the nagios server with nagios user
2. edit /usr/local/nagios/etc/ecosway/services/ecos_services.cfg
   

   nagios$ vi /usr/local/nagios/etc/ecosway/services/ecos_services.cfg
   

• Template:
  

  define service{
          use                             ecos-service
          host_name                       host name
          service_description             put the description here
          check_command                   check_nrpe!the remote check command
          }
  

• Example:
  

  define service{
          use                             ecos-service
          host_name                       cwyapp1
          service_description             Dot Com Mall
          check_command                   check_nrpe!check_dotcom
          }
