Setting nagios location in map

nagios

I have Nagios installed and I'm working on getting the network map correct. The problem I have is that "Nagios" appears to be in the "internet" when it should be located on the MechNAS server.

enter image description here

What I want is Nagios Process to show up inside the local network. So it should show up at the same layer as MechNAS and development. Where exactly is that configured? I didnt see any place to set that up and it looks now like it's out there on it's own. Documentation and Googling didnt seem to turn up anything either.

This bugs the buhjeezuz out of me too.

According to the Nagios knowledge base, you can't:

When using one of the auto-layout modes of the statusmap or statuswrl CGIs you cannot hide the Nagios process icon, nor change its location. Its location is automatically determined, so that it is always at the "root" level of the map.

You might want to look into the Nagvis addon for more options for visualization. It is MUCH prettier then status map.

Send Nagios data to central monitoring server

Nagios does has a collector: NSCA. You set that up on the master server and define a ocsp_command on each of the slaves to send its service check results to the master.

This is a well-documented setup. See http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/distributed.html

Nagios no data returned from plugin, check_apt only

The problem I discovered was in the service description, although I think there is either a bug or an option in Nagios not being specified. The debug output showed the actual command line being run to NRPE

/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nrpe -H server.mechsoft-vps1.com -c check_mysqld -a

The problem here is that -a requires a parameter. The check however does not. Changing the service definition to add a parameter fixed the problem.

define service{
    use                             generic-service         
    host_name                       development
    service_description             APT
    check_command                   check_nrpe!check_apt!1
    }
