Icinga2 and NagVis integration

This forum was archived to /woltlab and is now in read-only mode.

    Hey all,


    I can't seem to find much documentation/information about setting up NagVis with Icinga2. I know it's possible, yet I do not know how to do it. I've found various other older threads about this but they are irrelevant now because most point to broken links and outdated documentation.


    Here's where I am at during the installation process:

    - I have everything on this system requirements page from NagVis, but am stuck on the installation of Livestatus.

    http://docs.nagvis.org/1.5/en_US/system_requirements.html


    I'm trying to follow this guide, but it only shows how to configure it for Nagios (not Icinga2) and I do not know how to "load livestatus.o into Icinga2".


    Could anybody help me out?


    Thanks!

    Wolfgang


    Yes, I've enabled the "livestatus" feature into Icinga2, but this does not generate a "socket file" as described by the guide that I linked before (or does it?).


    Here's the part of the guide that I am confused about:



    I assume that I'm not supposed to load it into Nagios, but rather Icinga2. How do you do this?

    From the second link you provided, I must specify the socket file that I mentioned in that file, so I cannot continue with that part until I generate it.

    livestatus is an icinga2 module.

    Simply do an icinga2 feature enable livestatus and restart icinga2.


    After that you have a socket below /var/run/icinga2/cmd, called "livestatus".

    That socket has to be configured in /usr/share/nagvis/etc/nagvis.ini, mine looks like:

    Code
    1. [backend_live_1]
    2. backendtype="mklivestatus"
    3. socket="unix:/var/run/icinga2/cmd/livestatus"

    sru


    Cool, thanks!


    I was unaware that the command generated the socket file.


    Installation Notes (perhaps this will help somebody else):

    Options that I chose while running ./install-sh -s icinga2


    - Specify the icinga2 base directory as /usr/share/icinga2

    - Set the NagVis base to /usr/share/nagvis

    - Confirmed use of backend mklivestatus

    - Set the NagVis web path to /nagvis

    - Set web-server user to apache

    - Set web-server group to apache

    - Confirmed creation of Apache config file


    I was then able to access the web interface at http://server-ip/nagvis


    Thanks to Wolfgang and sru for the help!


    Thread is now resolved.
