Nagex

Nagex was my November 2011 project and is a modified version of the project called Nagdash. GNU General Public License - Version 3, 29 June 2007 http://www.gnu.org The prerequisites are a Linux box running MySQL, PHP, Nagios and a web server like Apache (LAMP). The only downside to Nagex is the fact that it relies on Nagios host and service state changes before it writes values to the MySQL database since it does not pull information directly from the CGI's. In order for data to populate, the event_handler needs to be executed which means hosts/services need to change states into soft or hard. A quick and easy way is to disconnect the network connection on your Nagios box and wait 15 minutes or whatever interval you have your host/service checks configured. If you can't do this because you're working in a production environment, then you can pre-populate the database by manually inserting data into the tables. My event handler shell script will update the data if it already exists instead of inserting new entries. Here is a great MySQL reference site: http://www.pantz.org/software/mysql/mysqlcommands.html Untar the project tar -xzvf nagex.tar.gz Create a web-accessible directory mkdir /var/www/nagex Directory placement Put nagex.php and images folder in /var/www/nagex Create the database mysql -u root -ppassword mysql> create database nagex; Create the database user mysql> use mysql; mysql> grant all privileges on nagex.* to nagex@'localhost' identified by 'secret'; mysql> flush privileges; mysql> exit Import the SQL schema dump mysql -u root -ppassword nagex < nagex_structure.sql Copy the event handlers mkdir /usr/local/nagios/libexec/eventhandlers cp ~/nagex/update-nagex /usr/local/nagios/libexec/eventhandlers/ cp ~/nagex/update-nagex-host /usr/local/nagios/libexec/eventhandlers/ Set permissions chown -R nagios:nagios /usr/local/nagios/libexec/eventhandlers chmod 755 /usr/local/nagios/libexec/eventhandlers/* Add commands into commands.cfg define command{ command_name update-nagex command_line /usr/local/nagios/libexec/eventhandlers/update-nagex $HOSTNAME$ "$HOSTALIAS$" "$SERVICEDISPLAYNAME$" $SERVICESTATE$ "$LONGDATETIME$" } # 'update-nagex-host' host update command deinition define command{ command_name update-nagex-host command_line /usr/local/nagios/libexec/eventhandlers/update-nagex-host $HOSTNAME$ "$HOSTALIAS$" $HOSTSTATE$ "$LONGDATETIME$" } Update service/host definitions with event_handler define service{ host_name somehost check_command check_nrpe!CheckServiceState -a service service_description Some Service max_check_attempts 4 event_handler update-nagex } define host{ use windows-server host_name EXCH1 alias Exchange Server address 100.10.111.222 event_handler update-nagex-host } Modify nagex.php Line 18, enter the password you've use to create the mysql user. $DBpassword = "secret"; Test out the web front end http://yourhost/nagex/nagex.php Having problems?
