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
