Problem With Graphs in Pnp4nagios
 

Hi there --

I have installed the Pnp4nagios software onto our Nagios 2.6 system. The server is using the php 5.1.6 release along with the 1.2.27 release of the rrdtool. As part of the installation procedure, I created an entry in the

serviceextinfo.cfg file shown below:



The service description is a copy of the same line for the host in question within the services.cfg file. I ran the nagios -v nagios.cfg command to confirm there were no errors. There were several other checks associated with the host, but I did not include them in the serviceextinfo file.

I restarted Nagios, and waited for an hour for graphs and other information to be generated on-screen. So far there has not been any graphs generation appearing on the php page. I checked the hostname directory under the perfdata directory, and there are rrd and xml files being generated.

To verify that php is full operational, I installed the query.php, or Network Query, tool into the base directory of the Apache server, and I was able to see and use it without a problem. It appears there is a problem with php somewhere, but I am not sure where the problem lies.

Does anyone have an idea as to what other step(s) do I need to take? Thanks.

I have no idea...but you can give us more information.

Increase the pnp debug level (at file ngraph.ncfg;log_level 255) and restart nagios.
Look for error messages at log_file directive at same file, usually /var/log/nagios/ngraph.log.

Hi there --

I set the pnp log to debug, and restarted Nagios. Here are excerpts from the perfdata.log file:

I checked the above directory, and there is no check_nrpe.cfg file in that location.

Is there additional information needed at this time?

Yeah, now I can guess something.....

Try to setup a localhost machine to check if you get performance data and graphs for the local machine.
Try with a local checks, not remote checks with nrpe. Something like that:
and check_local_load is defined as
If you get graphs for this service, than the problem is with check_nrpe.

With PNP you can not use a check_command directly in services.cfg as .
You need to define a remote check command as:

and define check_load (in checkcommands.cfg or whatever) as:
'cause PNP uses the check_command name - in later is check_load (not check_nrpe) - to match a template file (in templates.dist).

I'm sorry, I will be back only monday morning.
I hope you figure out how to fix your PNP.

see'ya,

Hi there --

I haven't had success in getting pnp4nagios to work, and since I don't have time right now to continue trying to deploy it, I am going to drop
it from our server.

I may revisit deploying it at a later date. Thanks for the help anyway.

Best regards.

In your next attempt, I suggest you to subscribe to the list https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/...p4nagios-users which is the best place to get help about PNP4nagios.

best regards,

Hi @ all,
I've exactly the problem described in this thread, but i can not resolve this.
my check are configured whith nrpe ( see the example):


# 'check_nt_cpu'command definition
define command{
command_name check_nt_cpu
command_line $USER1$/check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -p 9666 -c nt_cpuload
}

the checks result is ok, but pnp don't show the graphic ( this is the error):

RRD Database/usr/local/nagios/share/perfdata/volsrv07/check_nt_disk.rrd not found.

this is the log:

for some check pnp running correctly and show the graphic (see below)

I see variuos Thread over Internet, and for me the problem is the template that pnp use to convert data contained in perfdata logs to the rrd .

Can you help me ????

Thx in advance
