[Nagios-db-devel] nagios-db and nagios-2.04b

[Michael T. <mic...@mc...>]

Is everyone stuck on an earlier version? I haven't been able to get any
neb to compile without playing with the inserter.c file.

nagios-2.04b nebmods.c requires 4 entries for the neb_register_callback
function.  inserter.c only calls for three
in nebmods.c you'll find that the "int priority" is required on 
neb_register_callback I chose to look at this literally as a priority
state and changed the inserter.c to reflect this.

inserter.c now compiles, initializes, but doesn't write diddly to the
db.
My changes can be seen below. I need to know if my thinking was correct,
and why I wouldn't be seeing anything written to the db.

I'm willing to pitch in a helping hand where ever I can.
I know you guys are probably swamped with various projects.

Developers**** I want to use this in a 5000+ host, not service
environment. Can this implementation handle it?

Will this package continue to be developed?


neb_deregister_callback(NEBCALLBACK_TIMED_EVENT_DATA, loadconfig);
        neb_register_callback(NEBCALLBACK_HOST_STATUS_DATA, 0, 3,*****
processStatus);
        neb_register_callback(NEBCALLBACK_SERVICE_STATUS_DATA, 0, 4,****
processStatus);
        neb_register_callback(NEBCALLBACK_HOST_CHECK_DATA, 0, 2,****
processCheck);
        neb_register_callback(NEBCALLBACK_SERVICE_CHECK_DATA, 0, 5,*****
processCheck);


TIA

Yeah, I've got a patch waiting to apply from somebody else that makes 
this work with 2.04b, but as you can see, I haven't had the time to 
apply it. Nor have I had the time to upgrade my install of nagios, so 
the pain point hasn't been that high for me, personally.... not that 
that helps you. :)

I'll do the upgrade when I can, but in the meantime perhaps you should 
look through the archives of this list for a patch in the last few months.

As for whether this will be continued to be developed.... well, my 
company relies on it now, so I can say the answer is yes. But will it be 
developed quickly? History shows that the answer is probably no, if I'm 
going to stay in charge. So I'd be happy to let somebody else maintain 
this project, if they desire.

And as for the 5k host question.... the answer is yes, assuming you 
don't starve your database on hardware. :)

[Mike T. <mke...@ya...>]

Thanks for the response, I'll plug through the mailing
list. Is the patch your referring to for mysql or
postgresql? How do people submit to the project? This
looks like the best solution for us provided I can get
it working. That being said, I'd like to get together
a list of known working nagios 2x/nagios-db-XX
configurations. Also would be willing to submit an
install doc. 

Again thanks

[Nagios-db-devel] troubleshoot assistance

[Lindsay W. <lin...@ad...>]

Hi,

I'm having some problems getting Nagios-DB up and running properly after 
an upgrade of Nagios from 2.0b3 to 2.0b4.

So far as Nagios-DB is concerned, I'm starting from scratch with beta4. 
I've got the latest Nagios-DB CVS source, applied the 2.0b4 NEB 
registration patch, and manually edited the pgwrapper so that the 
PQconnect arguments are sure to make a successful connect. I can confirm 
that the module is connecting to the database OK and issuing commands.

My problem is:
When I start Nagios the logs don't report any errors but the Web GUI 
gives the typical error page when trying to view something like host 
details (gives generic configuration problem error). Nagios itself does 
not perform any checks at all. If I remove the module load config from 
nagios.cfg then everything works fine...so it seems related to the 
Nagios-DB NEB module load.

an `/etc/init.d/nagios stop` will not properly shutdown nagios and that 
needs to be manually killed before starting again, once again this is 
only if the NEB module is configured to load.

Logs seem fine:
Sep 25 15:43:23 whippet nagios: Nagios 2.0b4 starting... (PID=12576)
Sep 25 15:43:23 whippet nagios: LOG VERSION: 2.0

max, with 0 threads idle and 0 tasks outstanding
Sep 25 15:43:23 whippet nagios: Finished daemonizing... (New PID=12601)


I don't fully understand the interaction between the NEB modules and the 
Nagios core process so I've been messing around with this for quite a 
number of hours and have not made any progress, any assistance or tips 
would be appreciated.

I'm using:
postgres (PostgreSQL) 7.4.6.
Nagios 2.0b4
CVS Nagios-DB
Fedora Core release 3 (Heidelberg)

Cheers,
Lindsay
