Adding Nagios Plug-ins To Sapphire Software

The prerequisite is that client-side tools of Nagios have been installed on the host running

7signal Sapphire software. The protocol being used is NRPE. There is no SSH support

concurrently.

Install NRPE daemon

Use online install with yum:

# yum install nrpe

Install toolset ‘Nagios plugins’

Use online install with yum:

# yum install nagios-plugins-nrpe

NOTE: the following installers shall open port tcp/5666

for Nagios traffic in the firewall settings.

Install Sapphire plugin

There folders named Nagios_support on both Carat and Sonar delivery disks. They contain

the following files

7signal-Nagios-plugin-<version-info>-for-Carat-installer.bin

7signal-Nagios-plugin-<version-info>-for-Loupe-installer.bin

7signal-Nagios-plugin-<version-info>-for-Sonar-installer.bin

The files are executable and totally self-contained. By running each of the file makes the

respective Sapphire Nagios plugin available. The process includes configuration file creation,

updates and firewall settings.

Silent install mode (option -s) uses 7signal defaults for all parameters. If this option is not

used, all parameters are inquired interactively with the default setting visible.

By default, the plugin installations end up in /opt/7signal/nagios folder. However, the

installation makes the plugins available and after this the process and operations are

completely transparent to the Carat user.

Verifying Nagios Installation

Complete and operational install is achieved if Nagios GUI shows

check_carat_server

check_sonar_server

check_loupe_server

as options for monitoring for the hosts running 7signal Sapphire software.
