1. Purpose

The Blue Medora VMware vRealize Operations (vROps) Management Pack for Nagios User Guide describes the primary features of the Management Pack for Nagios, including dashboards, views, reports, alerts, and metrics that allow users to optimize the monitoring and management of Nagios resources from within vRealize Operations.

2. Introduction to the Management Pack

The Management Pack for Nagios is an embedded adapter for vRealize Operations (vROps) that monitors Nagios systems remotely. The Management Pack retrieves data regarding resources by connecting to each supported Nagios device.

This section includes the following topics:• How the Management Pack Collects Data• Data the Management Pack Collects• Inventory Tree (Traversal Spec)

2.1 How the Management Pack Collects Data

During each data collection cycle, the Management Pack opens a connection to the configured Nagios device and queries it to retrieve metrics regarding Nagios resources.

The collection interval for the adapter instance resource determines how often the Management Pack collects data. The default collection interval is five minutes.

The Management Pack supports Autodiscovery and manual discovery of resources. When you enable Autodiscovery for an adapter instance, the Management Pack creates resources in vRealize Operations and collects data after the main collection query runs. If a new resource belongs to a resource kind that does not exist in vROps, the Management Pack creates the resource kind.

2.2 Data the Management Pack Collects

The Management Pack can collect performance data, relationships, and events for the following Nagios resources:

1. Nagios Host2. Nagios Host Group3. Nagios Service Group4. Nagios System5. Nagios System Group


2.3 Inventory Tree (Traversal Spec)

The Inventory Tree (Traversal Spec) feature within vROps allows you to easily navigate your environment. The hierarchical structure implicitly shows relationships among resource kinds and enables quick drill-downs to root-cause issues.

In addition to internal relationships, the Management Pack also includes the following external relationships:• VMware Host -> Nagios Host• VMware VM -> Nagios Host• VMware VM -> Nagios System

Figure 1: Example Traversal Spec


3. Dashboards

Dashboards are the primary user interface that allow users to monitor Nagios resources from within vRealize Operations.

The following dashboards are available in the Management Pack:• Nagios Overview• Nagios System Status• Nagios Health Investigation• Nagios Service Group• Nagios Host Group• Nagios Host Workload Utilization

3.1 Nagios Overview

The Nagios Overview dashboard provides at-a-glance heatmaps depicting the overall health of your Nagios resources.

8. Analysis Badges

Using the predictive analytics capabilities of the vROps Analysis Badges through capacity definitions, the Management Pack populates capacity and utilization breakdowns for several Nagios resource kinds. Refer to section “12. Appendix III: Capacity Definitions” for the full list of resource kinds and capacity definitions.

Figure 11: Analysis Badge Example


9. Troubleshooting the Management Pack

Known troubleshooting information can help you diagnose and correct common problems with the Management Pack for Nagios.

This section includes the following topics:• Troubleshooting an Adapter Instance• Testing Connection Failures• Viewing System Log Files

9.1 Troubleshooting an Adapter Instance

Perform these general troubleshooting steps to diagnose and correct problems with an adapter instance:• Edit the adapter instance and click Test Connection to verify the connection to vROps. Refer to

section “9.2 Testing Connection Failures”.• View the collection status and collection state for the adapter instance resource on the Inventory

Explorer page in vROps.• Check the adapter and collector logs for errors. Refer to section “9.3 Viewing System Log Files”, for

details.

9.2 Testing Connection Failures

When clicking Test Connection in the Manage Solution window when adding an adapter instance, the following connection errors are possible.

9.2.1 Bad API Key

Unable to establish a valid connection to the target system. Unable to retrieve data from the API. Error requesting data from the API: [“Invalid API Key”]

9.2.2 Bad Host/Port

Unable to establish a valid connection to the target system. Unable to retrieve data from the API. Network is unreachable, or connection timed out. Ensure Host and Port are correct.

9.2.3 Illegal Host

Unable to establish a valid connection to the target system. ‘Host’ is invalid. Accepted Host formats are: [Host Name, Fully Qualified Domain Name, IPv4, IPv6]

9.2.4 Unable to Retrieve Data from the API

Problem: This error is possible when your server does not have SSL configured, but the adapter instance advanced setting SSL Configuration is set to ‘No Verify’ or ‘Verify’.

Cause: When the server settings and adapter instance settings do not match, API responses will return no information.

Solution: Log in to the Nagios XI web interface and verify that your server has SSL enabled.


9.3 Viewing System Log Files

You can view adapter errors in the adapter and collector log files. You can view the adapter and collector log files in the vROps user interface or in an external log viewer.

• The adapter log files are in the $VCOPS_BASE/user/log/adapters/NagiosAdapter/ folder.• The collector log files are in the $VCOPS_BASE/user/log/ folder.

The logging level is set to WARNING by default. To troubleshoot issues, set the logging level to INFO. To view detailed messages, including micro steps, queries, and returned results, set the logging level to DEBUG.

You can set the base log level for the collector via Administration ( ) > Support > Logs > Select COLLECTOR folder > Select Edit Properties icon ( ) > Edit Root logger level.

NOTE: If you set the logging level to DEBUG, log files can become large very quickly. Set the logging level to DEBUG only for short periods of time.

For complete information about viewing log files and modifying log levels, refer to the VMware vRealize Operations online help.
