How to install nagios in rhel 6.3 / centos 6.3

Introduction

This guide is intended to provide you with simple instructions on how to install Nagios from source (code) on Fedora and have it monitoring your local machine inside of 20 minutes. No advanced installation options are discussed here - just the basics that will work for 95% of users who want to get started.

These instructions were written based on a standard RHEL 6.3 Linux distribution. 

What You'll End Up With

 

If you follow these instructions, here's what you'll end up with:

• Nagios and the plugins will be installed underneath /usr/local/nagios
• Nagios will be configured to monitor a few aspects of your local system (CPU load, disk usage, etc.)
• The Nagios web interface will be accessible at http://localhost/nagios/

Prerequisites

 

During portions of the installation you'll need to have root access to your machine.

Make sure you've installed the following packages on your Fedora installation before continuing.

• Apache
• PHP
• GCC compiler
• GD development libraries

You can use yum to install these packages by running the following commands (as root):

yum install httpd php

yum install gcc glibc glibc-common

yum install gd gd-devel 

gd-devel is not available in default package so download from here. 

While installing it throws dependency errors. 

Just install those dependency through yum after that install this gd-devel rpm
ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/centos/6.3/os/x86_64/Packages/gd-devel-2.0.35-10.el6.x86_64.rpm

1) Create Account Information

Become the root user.

su -l

Create a new nagios user account and give it a password.

/usr/sbin/useradd -m nagios

passwd nagios

Create a new nagcmd group for allowing external commands to be submitted through the web interface. Add both the nagios user and the apache user to the group.

/usr/sbin/groupadd nagcmd

/usr/sbin/usermod -a -G nagcmd nagios

/usr/sbin/usermod -a -G nagcmd apache

2) Download Nagios and the Plugins

Create a directory for storing the downloads.

mkdir ~/downloads

cd ~/downloads

Download the source code tarballs of both Nagios and the Nagios plugins (visit http://www.nagios.org/download/ for links to the latest versions).

3) Compile and Install Nagios

Extract the Nagios source code tarball.

cd ~/downloads

tar xzf nagios-3.2.3.tar.gz

cd nagios-3.2.3

Run the Nagios configure script, passing the name of the group you created earlier like so:

./configure --with-command-group=nagcmd

Compile the Nagios source code.

make all

Install binaries, init script, sample config files and set permissions on the external command directory.

make install

make install-init

make install-config

make install-commandmode

Don't start Nagios yet - there's still more that needs to be done...

4) Customize Configuration

Sample configuration files have now been installed in the /usr/local/nagios/etc directory. These sample files should work fine for getting started with Nagios. You'll need to make just one change before you proceed...

Edit the /usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/contacts.cfg config file with your favorite editor and change the email address associated with the nagiosadmin contact definition to the address you'd like to use for receiving alerts.

vi /usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/contacts.cfg

5) Configure the Web Interface

Install the Nagios web config file in the Apache conf.d directory.

make install-webconf

Create a nagiosadmin account for logging into the Nagios web interface. Remember the password you assign to this account - you'll need it later.

htpasswd -c /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users nagiosadmin

Restart Apache to make the new settings take effect.

service httpd restart

Note: Consider implementing the ehanced CGI security measures described here 

to ensure that your web authentication credentials are not compromised. 

[root@station1 ~]# htdigest -c /usr/local/nagios/etc/.digest_pw "Nagios Access" \ 

nagiosadmin

Monitoring Tools in rhel

Need to monitor Linux server performance? Try these built-in command 

top - Process Activity Command

 The top program provides a dynamic real-time view of a running system i.e. actual process activity. By default, it displays the most CPU-intensive tasks running on the server and updates the list every five seconds.

Commonly Used Hot Keys

The top command provides several useful hot keys:

Hot Key	Usage
t	Displays summary information off and on.
m	Displays memory information off and on.
A	Sorts the display by top consumers of various system resources. Useful for quick identification of performance-hungry tasks on a system.
f	Enters an interactive configuration screen for top. Helpful for setting up top for a specific task.
o	Enables you to interactively select the ordering within top.
r	Issues renice command.
k	Issues kill command.
z	Turn on or off color/mono

vmstat - System Activity, Hardware and System Information

The command vmstat reports information about processes, memory, paging, block IO, traps, and cpu activity.

# vmstat 3

Display Memory Utilization Slabinfo

# vmstat -m

Get Information About Active / Inactive Memory Pages

# vmstat -a

w - Find Out Who Is Logged on And What They Are Doing

[root@station1 ~]# w root
 11:05:46 up 38 min,  3 users,  load average: 0.04, 0.11, 0.13

Crondtab usage

What is a Crontab?

A cron is a utility that allows tasks to automatically run in the background of the system at regular intervals by use of the cron daemon. Crontab (CRON TABle) is a file which contains the schedule of cron entries to be run and at what times they are to be run. This can be quite useful. For example, you may have a personal temporary directory that you wish to be cleaned out once a day to keep your quota from being exceeded. This is where cron scheduling comes in to play. Not all systems allow for a cron schedule to be setup. You need to see your system administrator to see if it is available on your system.

How does it work?

The editor must be invoked using the -e switch. To create a cron schedule type:
crontab -e

Each cron job has at least 6 sections. Each section is separated by a single space, but the final section may have spaces within it. No spaces are allowed within Sections 1-5, only between them. Sections 1-5 are indicate when and how often you want the task (the sixth position) to be executed. All time are local times not GMT.

Here is how positions 1-5 are layed out:
1 Minute 0-59
2 Hour 0-23 (0 = midnight)
3 Day 1-31
4 Month 1-12
5 Weekday 0-6 (0 = Sunday)
An asterisk (*) is used to indicate that every instance (i.e. every hour, every weekday, etc.) of the particular time period will be used.
If you wish to use more than one instance of a particular time periods, then seperate the times by a comma. If you wish for continuous execution, the start and stop items are separated by a dash. For example, if you wanted to run your command at :05 and :35 past the hour, every hour, Monday through Friday, then your time stamp would look like this:
5,35 * * * 1-5 cmd
30 */1 * * * 1-5 cmd-- this means  at every 1 hours 30 min the process will execute
ll'y for days weeks and month u can apply like this by putting , between numbers.
Example- * * 1,30 1,6,12 1-5 cmd
The sixth position indicates which task will be run at the given time(s).
if you wanted to remove all of the files in you "temp" directory every morning at 4:45 AM, your command would look:
45 4 * * * rm /home/{username}/temp/*
(Where you insert your username where appropriate.)
Special Note: While system commands are normally located in the same directories with standard settings for almost all machines, it is best to put the full path of the directory to any commands, system or not. For example, it would be better to use /usr/bin/rm instead of just rm. This also applies to any scripts. If there are not full paths to system commands (or other local commands), then it is possible that the cronjob will error. It is always best to include full path names on all commands.
Only command lines, blank lines and comments may be place in a crontab file. Any other type of text will cause the crontab to not function properly.


Are there any toggle options to Crontab?
Yes, one has already been introduced. The -e option allows you to edit your cron file (or create a cron file does not exist). There are three toggle options to crontab:
-e Edit (or create) a crontab file
-l List the crontab file
-r Remove the crontab file.
Why do I keep getting an email each time my Cron job runs?
The email is crontab's way of notifing you that it has completed (or not) the job you requested it to run. After everything is running smoothly, you may want to disable this feature, or redirect the output to a log file instaed of an email.
If you wish to diasble the email (and not output to a log file) then, at the end of each of the cron job lines you wish to not be notified on, place the command:
>/dev/null 2>&1
This essential writes the email out to nowhere (a trash bin of sorts), and thus solves the problem. Your final cron job line will look like this:
45 4 * * * rm /home/{username}/temp/* >/dev/null 2>&1
If you wish to diasble the email (and output to a log file) then, at the end of each of the cron job lines you wish to not be notified on, place the command:
> {logfile path and name}
or
>> {logfile path and name}
Special Note: One > means replace the current log with a new one, while (two) >> means append the current output to the end of the current log.
This essential writes the email out to nowhere (a trash bin of sorts), and thus solves the problem. Your final cron job line will look like this:
45 4 * * * rm /home/{username}/temp/* > /home/{username}/cronlogs/clear_temp_dir.txt >/dev/null 2>&1

That's it?
As has been show, there is not really too much to learn in order to use crontab. It is a quite useful tool in automating your recurring tasks. Happy crontabbing!!!

Examples-

Scheduling a Job For a Specific Time

The basic usage of cron is to execute a job in a specific time as shown below. This will execute the Full backup shell script (full-backup) on 10th June 08:30 AM.

Please note that the time field uses 24 hours format. So, for 8 AM use 8, and for 8 PM use 20.

30 08 10 06 * /home/ranjith/full-backup

• 30 – 30th Minute
• 08 – 08 AM
• 10 – 10th Day
• 06 – 6th Month (June)
• * – Every day of the week
