Installing Nagios on Solaris for Network and Server Monitoring

Nagios is a free, open source enterprise-class network and server monitoring system that can benefit your IT infrastructure. Bill Bradford describes how to install and set up Nagios on a Solaris 10 system. For this example Bill uses Solaris 10 update 6 running in 32-bit mode on a VMware virtual machine. Alternate versions of Solaris and Apache Web Server should work just as well.

Nagios::StatusLog(3pm)					User Contributed Perl Documentation				    Nagios::StatusLog(3pm)

NAME
Nagios::StatusLog, Nagios::(Service|Host|Program)::Status - Perl objects to represent the Nagios status file DESCRIPTION
Reads the Nagios status log and returns ::Status objects that can be used to get status information about a host. For Nagios version 2.x logs, pass in the Version => 2.0 parameter to new(). And similarly, pass in the Version => 3.0 parameter to new() for Nagios version 3.x logs. my $log = Nagios::StatusLog->new( Filename => "/var/opt/nagios/status.log", Version => 1.0 ); $localhost = $log->host( "localhost" ); print "status of localhost is now ",$localhost->status()," "; $log->update(); print "status of localhost is now ",$localhost->status()," "; # for Nagios v2.0 my $log = Nagios::StatusLog->new( Filename => "/var/cache/nagios2/status.dat", Version => 2.0 ); # for Nagios v3.0 my $log = Nagios::StatusLog->new( Filename => "/var/cache/nagios3/status.dat", Version => 3.0 ); METHODS
new() Create a new Nagios::StatusLog instance. The object will be initialized for you (using $self->update()). Nagios::StatusLog->new( "/var/opt/nagios/status.log" ); update() Updates the internal data structures from the logfile. $log->update(); service() Returns a Nagios::Service::Status object. Input arguments can be a host_name and description list, or a Nagios::Service object. my $svc_stat = $log->service( "localhost", "SSH" ); my $svc_stat = $log->service( $localhost_ssh_svc_object ); Nagios::Service::Status has the following accessor methods (For V1): host_name description status current_attempt state_type last_check next_check check_type checks_enabled accept_passive_service_checks event_handler_enabled last_state_change problem_has_been_acknowledged last_hard_state time_ok current_notification_number time_warning time_critical process_performance_data notifications_enabled latency scheduled_downtime_depth is_flapping plugin_output percent_state_change execution_time time_unknown failure_prediction_enabled last_notification obsess_over_service flap_detection_enabled list_services() Returns an array of all service descriptions in the status log.

This module contains 4 packages: Nagios::StatusLog, Nagios::Host::Status, Nagios::Service::Status, and Nagios::Program::Status. The latter 3 of them are mostly generated at compile-time in the BEGIN block. The accessor methods are real subroutines, not AUTOLOAD, so making a ton of calls to this module should be fairly quick. Also, update() is set up to only do what it says - updating from a fresh logfile should not invalidate your existing ::Status objects. AUTHOR
