Alignak - Poller module to boost NRPE checks
Project description
Alignak NRPE booster module
Installation
The installation of this module will copy some configuration files in the Alignak default configuration directory (eg. /usr/local/etc/alignak). The copied files are located in the default sub-directory used for the modules (eg. arbiter/modules).
From PyPI
To install the module from PyPI:
sudo pip install alignak-module-nrpe-booster
From source files
To install the module from the source files (for developing purpose):
git clone https://github.com/Alignak-monitoring-contrib/alignak-module-nrpe-booster cd alignak-module-nrpe-booster sudo pip install . -e
Note: using `sudo python setup.py install` will not correctly manage the package configuration files! The recommended way is really to use `pip`;)
Short description
This module allows Alignak Pollers to bypass the launch of the check_nrpe process. This allow to use NRPE checks without the need to install the Nagios NRPE plugin.
This module reads the check command and opens the connection by itself. It scales the use of NRPE for active monitoring of servers hosting NRPE agents.
Installation
Requirements
To use NRPE/SSL install pyOpenssl Python wrapper module with the OpenSSL library.
Configuration
Once installed, this module has its own configuration file in the /usr/local/etc/alignak/arbiter/modules directory. The default configuration file is mod-nrpe-booster.cfg. No configuration is necessary for this module.
Configure an Alignak poller to use this module:
edit your poller daemon configuration file
add the module_alias parameter value (nrpe_booster) to the modules parameter of the daemon
Tag the NRPE commands with the module_type parameter. This parameter must be the module_alias of the installed module:
define command { command_name check_nrpe command_line $USER1$/check_nrpe -H $HOSTADRESS$ -c $ARG1$ -a $ARG2$ module_type nrpe-booster }
