Nagios building the MK Livestatus module for Nagios xi

highness · Post by **highness** » Tue Dec 16, 2014 1:40 pm

Looks like there are a few people trying to get MK Livestatus installed for Nagios xi folks (and having varying degrees of issues / success).

Is there ANY way that Nagios would build an RPM for us to get this working with xi?

I've tried several times, but for some reason am unable to get MK Livestatus 1.2.4p5 working with my 2014R1.5 version of xi.

As far as I know, this is not on a road map. I am not sure if it will ever happen, but I could be wrong.

I've tried several times, but for some reason am unable to get MK Livestatus 1.2.4p5 working with my 2014R1.5 version of xi.

What are the specific issues that you ran into? Can you show us an example of the error (problem)?

Not sure if you need this specific version, but as far as I am aware this works

Code: Select all

cd /tmp
wget http://mathias-kettner.com/download/mk-livestatus-1.2.4.tar.gz
tar xzf mk-livestatus-1.2.4.tar.gz
cd mk-livestatus-1.2.4
./configure --with-nagios4
make
make install

Then making sure you have the following in the in the nagios.cfg

Code: Select all

broker_module=/usr/local/lib/mk-livestatus/livestatus.o /var/lib/nagios/rw/live

Did all those steps you had listed (even removed the files and downloaded again from scratch).

I see this is the /usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.log:

[1418766765] Event broker module '/usr/local/nagios/bin/ndomod.o' initialized successfully.
[1418766765] Error: Module loading failed. Aborting.

To me, it looks like ndo is failing, not livestatus. Can you post your full nagios.cfg?

Run the following commands and show us the output:

Code: Select all

locate livestatus
grep broker_module /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg
grep live /var/log/messages | tail -20

looks like I'm going to have to shelve this until after the holidays... We're in peak mode now, so this'll have to wait.
