Introduction:

About Nagios (http://www.nagios.org)

Nagios is a host and service monitor designed to inform you of network problems before your clients, end-users or managers do. It has been designed to run under the Linux operating system, but works fine under most *NIX variants as well. The monitoring daemon runs intermittent checks on hosts and services you specify using external "plugins" which return status information to Nagios. When problems are encountered, the daemon can send notifications out to administrative contacts in a variety of different ways (email, instant message, SMS, etc.). Current status information, historical logs, and reports can all be accessed via a web browser.

About Centreon (http://www.centreon.com)

Centreon is a network, system, applicative supervision and monitoring tool, it is based upon the most effective Open Source monitoring engine: Nagios. Centreon provides a new frontend and new functionalities to Nagios.

Prerequisites that not covered in this guide:

- You will need some knowledge of basic Linux administration, in case you will need to do troubleshooting.

- You will need to be familiar with Nagios architecture, and know how to solve errors that comes from nagios config validation.

- You will need an MTA daemon installed & configured, so nagios will able to send notifications, good examples are sendmail, postfix, exim.

Notes before we begin:

- This guide is intended for Debian/Ubuntu based distributions. It was tested on Debian 5.0 64-bit, and Ubuntu 8.10/9.04 Server 64-bit

- Centreon version 2.1.x is required for this gude to work, version 2.0.x of Centreon won't work with this article.

- It's recommended to use a clean install of Debian/Ubuntu.

- All commands in this article must be run as root user, in Ubuntu you can become a root user by using command "sudo -s".

Install required Ubuntu/Debian packages:

Debian only:

# apt-get install sudo lsb-release

dos2unix, Converts DOS <-> Unix text files, alias tofromdos:

# apt-get install tofrodos

MTA (exim by default) and mail utilities:

# apt-get install mailx

Apache web server and PHP5:

# apt-get install apache2 php5 php-pear php5-mysql php5-ldap php5-snmp php5-gd

MySQL-Server:

# apt-get install mysql-server-5.0

You will be asked to specify a new password for the MySQL "root" user. Remember it, we will use it later.

RRDTool:

# apt-get install rrdtool librrds-perl

Required Perl modules:

# apt-get install libconfig-inifiles-perl libcrypt-des-perl libdigest-hmac-perl libdigest-sha1-perl libgd-gd2-perl

SNMP daemon:

# apt-get install snmp snmpd libnet-snmp-perl libsnmp-perl

Install Nagios 3 and NDOutils for MySQL:

Type:

# apt-get install nagios3 nagios-nrpe-plugin ndoutils-nagios3-mysql

When asked for "Configure database for ndoutils-mysql with dbconfig-common?", answer NO, Centreon installation script will deal with it.

Now let's move/backup the original Nagios configuration directory, as Centreon will use its own structure for Nagios configuration files:

# mv /etc/nagios3 /etc/nagios3.orig

# mkdir /etc/nagios3

# cp -Rt /etc/nagios3 /etc/nagios3.orig/nagios.cfg /etc/nagios3.orig/apache2.conf /etc/nagios3.orig/stylesheets/

# chown nagios:www-data /etc/nagios3

# chmod ug+w /etc/nagios3

Install optional packages (not required):

OpenSSH server (Every linux server must have it!):

# apt-get install ssh

PHPMyAdmin - web based Mysql console:

# apt-get install phpmyadmin

Install Centreon:

Note: Before beginning the installation make sure you have an internet connection!

Now download the latest Centreon distribution (by the time of writing latest version was 2.1.1):

# cd; wget http://download.centreon.com/centreon/centreon-2.1.1.tar.gz

Centreon installation script will update PEAR modules (if required). If you are behind proxy, use following command for PEAR proxy configuration:

# pear config-set http_proxy http://<my_proxy>:<port>/

Replace "<my_proxy>" with to your proxy address and "<port>" with your proxy port.

Next, type following commands (remember to replace the names to Centreon version you use):

# tar xzf centreon-2.1.1.tar.gz

# cd centreon-2.1.1

# ./install.sh -i

Let's follow the installation script questions:

Press "Enter" to read the Centreon License, then type "y" to accept it.

Continue the installation with the Centreon Web interface:

Open in web browser: "http://<yourserverip>/centreon/" replace "<yourserverip>" with your Centreon server ip address or hostname.

Follow Centreon Setup instructions:

- Press Start

- Check "I Accept" and press Next

- Make sure that selected "Nagios Version" is "3.x", then press Next

- On next screen, make sure that all components status is "OK", then press Next

- If all components are "OK", then press Next again

- Fill required DB info as follows, then press Next

· Root Password for MySQL: [MySQL root password which you entered during MySQL installation]

· Centreon Database Name: centreon

· Centreon Data Storage Database Name: centstorage

· Database Password: centreon

· Confirm it: centreon

· MySQL Client version (Password Haching Changes): >=4.1 - PASSWORD()

- Press Next in the screen of DataBase Verification

- Fill required Admin user info, then press next (make sure that a username is Admin)

- Check "No" in "LDAP Authentication" screen, then press Next

- Press Next again

- Press Next in "Creating Database" screen

- Press on "Click here to complete your install"

NDOUtils configuration (from command line):

In Centreon version 2.1 and newer, NDO database is configured as part of the Centreon installation. We don't need to configure manually. We only need to enable NDO, in "/usr/default/ndoutils".

Edit the "/usr/default/ndoutils" by typing:

# vi /etc/default/ndoutils

Change "ENABLE_NDOUTILS=0" to "ENABLE_NDOUTILS=1"

Finalize Centreon configuration:

Open in webrowser: "http://<yourserverip>/centreon/", replace "<yourserverip>" with your Centreon server ip address or hostname.

Go to: Configuration -> Nagios -> cgi (in sidebar), Press on "CGI.cfg" link

Change settings to some options, as writed below:

- Physical HTML Path: /usr/share/nagios3/htdocs

- URL HTML Path : /nagios3

- Nagios Process Check Command: /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nagios /var/cache/nagios3/status.dat 5 '/usr/sbin/nagios3'

Press Save

Go to: Configuration -> Nagios -> nagios.cfg (in sidebar), Press on "Nagios CFG 1" link, you should be in "Files" section of the configuration screen.

Make sure to set folowing configuration values:

- Log File : /var/log/nagios3/nagios.log

- Downtime File : /var/lib/nagios3/downtime.dat

- Comment File : /var/lib/nagios3/comment.dat

- Temp File : /var/cache/nagios3/nagios.tmp

- P1 File : /usr/lib/nagios3/p1.pl

- Lock File : /var/run/nagios3/nagios3.pid

- Object Cache File : /var/cache/nagios3/objects.cache

- Status File : /var/cache/nagios3/status.dat

- External Command File : /var/lib/nagios3/rw/nagios.cmd

Now Press on "Logs Options" tab to go to "Logs Options" section.

Make sure to set folowing configuration values:

- Log Archive Path : /var/log/nagios3/archives/

- State Retention File : /var/lib/nagios3/retention.dat

Press Save

Go to: Administration -> Options -> CentStorage (in sidebar)

Make sure to set folowing configuration values:

- Nagios current log file to parse: /var/log/nagios3/nagios.log

Press Save

Now let's apply our changes, go to: Configuration -> Nagios

Select as below:

- Generate Configuration Files

- Include Comments

- Run Nagios debug (-v)

- Move Export Files

- Restart Nagios

- Method: "External Command"

Press Export

This will restart Nagios & apply all changes you made in Web Interface.

You will do it every time you make changes, e.g. adding/modifying of hosts, commands, contacts, services...etc...

The installation of Centreon is completed.

Final fixes (very important):

Go to terminal console, then...

In Debian/Ubuntu the user "nagios" is set to "/bin/false" shell. Because of it "centcore" and "centstorage" daemons won't start. A reason for that is because those daemons use "su -c" command which requires a real shell, so the shell for "nagios" user must be set to "/bin/sh":

# usermod -s /bin/sh nagios

Apply permissions for Web interface to be able to send "External Commands", perform the following commands to change directory permissions and to make the changes permanent:

# invoke-rc.d nagios3 stop

# dpkg-statoverride --update --add nagios www-data 2710 /var/lib/nagios3/rw

# dpkg-statoverride --update --add nagios nagios 751 /var/lib/nagios3

Add htaccess user with password "P@ssw0rd" for nagios CGI:

# htpasswd -bc /etc/nagios3/htpasswd.users nagiosadmin P@ssw0rd

Allow SNMP readonly access:

# echo "rocommunity public" > /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf

If you want to allow SNMP access only for localhost then use this instead:

# echo "rocommunity public 127.0.0.1" > /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf

Now, restart the server

# sync;sync;init 6

That's it, after reboot, you will have a fully functional Nagios & Centreon environment.

Feel free to add comments/suggestions.

Hi there, look, I´ve followed your post and at the end, when the nagios reload was needed I received:

error in configuration file /usr/local/centreon/filesGeneration/nagiosCFG/1/nagiosCFG.DEBUG - Line 28 (Illegal value for log_rotation_method)

I found this solution and everything works as expected

http://forum.centreon.com/f33/line-28-illegal-value-for-log-rotation-method-t8883/

UPDATE `centreon`.`cfg_nagios` SET `log_rotation_method` = 'd' WHERE `cfg_nagios`.`nagios_id` =1 LIMIT 1 ;

Thanks for such a great tutorial!

Oct 17th 2009, by alex
Thanks for the feedback :)
Regarding the issue you had, this is known issue, and was fixed in Centreon 2.1.1. I recommend to upgrade to version 2.1.1 as the solution you found is temporary...and can return again.

P.S.
The bug was submitted by me with proposed solution ;)

Thanks for your good article
Is there any document about config centreon? for example adding new host ??because I could not config centreon correctly yet :(

Nov 29th 2009, by alex
Centreon is a web GUI for Nagios. You must learn how to configure Nagios, if you know how to configure Nagios, you won't have problem with Centreon.

Hi,

When i login in to the nagios frontend if i click any link i am getting the following error

Whoops!

Error: Could not read object configuration data!

Here are some things you should check in order to resolve this error:

Verify configuration options using the -v command-line option to check for errors.
Check the Nagios log file for messages relating to startup or status data errors.
Make sure you've compiled the main program and the CGIs to use the same object data storage options (i.e. default text file or template-based file).
Make sure you read the documentation on installing, configuring and running Nagios thoroughly before continuing. If all else fails, try sending a message to one of the mailing lists. More information can be found at http://www.nagios.org.

Looks like you have not followed the guide correctly. This message means that you have configuration errors in one of nagios config files. Please read the guide carefully. Also you should configure Nagios only from Centreon web interface and not directly edit the config files.

hai,

I did this setup 2 times exactly the same.. and..
after - Press on "Click here to complete your install"
2 times Connection failed, please contact your administrator
I was able to get this working through modifying directly in the database ( config section )
this happens i think because i have an @ in my passwords.
can some confirm this..
nice setup btw, i like it, im only missing nagvis..

# chown nagios:www-data /etc/nagios3
# chmod ug+w /etc/nagios3

is wrong also, just make a copy of the /etc/nagios3 for backup but leave everything in it.
when the setup is finished, add a host, generate the new nagios files, and now you can remove the "unmoddified files".
nice setup thanks.

Hi guys, hi Alex,

very nice howto, thanks for it, but i got one question, please:

# echo "rocommunity public 127.0.0.1" > /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf

i have no permission to execute this command. i tried to make those changes with vi manually.

rocommunity readwrite default public is that the right way?

sorry for double post

You don't want to allow write access, so it's not right way ...

Just put "rocommunity public 127.0.0.1" in /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf file (without quotas)

Hello Alex!

Great work! I installed everything without any problems.
But as someone stated above, I can login into the nagios frontend (http://localhost/nagios3) but if I click any link other than Home or Documnetation I'm getting the following error:

Whoops!

Error: Could not read object configuration data!

Here are some things you should check in order to resolve this error:

Verify configuration options using the -v command-line option to check for errors.
Check the Nagios log file for messages relating to startup or status data errors.
Make sure you've compiled the main program and the CGIs to use the same object data storage options (i.e. default text file or template-based file).
Make sure you read the documentation on installing, configuring and running Nagios thoroughly before continuing. If all else fails, try sending a message to one of the mailing lists. More information can be found at http://www.nagios.org.

What could be wrong?

I'm running Ubuntu server 9.10, Centreon 2.1.5, Nagios 3.0.6
Nagios Home:
http://localhost/nagios3
Example of link not working ()Host Detail under Monitoring section:
http://localhost/cgi-bin/nagios3/status.cgi?hostgroup=all&style=hostdetail

Thanks in advance!

hi, nice howto, i only added some extra's.
my setup ubuntu 9.10 server 64bit.
nagios 3.2.0 rebuild from lucid
ndoutils for PPA, Nagvis from PPA ( latest versions ) ( nagvis has 1 wrong dep php 5.3 , get the source, adjust the controle file and change php5.3 to php5.3 and rebuild it.
and i found 1 error. ( or its because i used nagios 3.2.0 for lucid )

Where is your Nagios image directory ?
default to [/usr/local/nagios/share/images/logos]: /usr/share/nagios/htdocs/images/logos
/usr/share/nagios3/htdocs/images/logos ( with the 3 after nagios )

This is nice. Very Very Nice. I got mine working on the first setup.

Apr 21st 2010, by Guest
Mine isnot working at all!
WHY? After generating and export all modification from centreon to nagios, there are errors like the following :

1st nag3.2.1/cent2.1.5 : It appears as though you do not have permission to view information for any of the hosts you requested...

If you believe this is an error, check the HTTP server authentication requirements for accessing this CGI
and check the authorization options in your CGI configuration file.

2nd nag3.0.6/cent2.1.5: Whoops!

Error: Could not read host and service status information!

The most common cause of this error message (especially for new users), is the fact that Nagios is not actually running. If Nagios is indeed not running, this is a normal error message. It simply indicates that the CGIs could not obtain the current status of hosts and services that are being monitored. If you've just installed things, make sure you read the documentation on starting Nagios.

Some other things you should check in order to resolve this error include:

1. Check the Nagios log file for messages relating to startup or status data errors.
2. Always verify configuration options using the -v command-line option before starting or restarting Nagios!

Make sure you read the documentation on installing, configuring and running Nagios thoroughly before continuing. If all else fails, try sending a message to one of the mailing lists. More information can be found at http://www.nagios.org.

Can somebody help me? ubuntu server 9.10

some say that it can be the NDO pb issue. is it true? If yes, what should i do to correct these problem?

Thanks in advance for your help... :)

P.S : nagios3 -v nagios.cfg or usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg are perfect. There is no error message neither nor warning messege.
But hosts created in centreon aren't UP at all, even if it's centreon interface.

Please, s.o.s, I'm a noob... :s

it seems like, your configuration paths pointing to /usr/local/nagios, but this article uses Nagios packages from repository, and all configuration files must be /etc/nagios3, bin files in /usr/sbin/. Did you follow the guide exactly as it written?

I sure did follow all instruction.
Actually I'm working on various servers differently. So I have the nag3.0.6/cent2.1.5 with /etc/nagios3, etc as you said. And this one i followed the instruction given in this blog. Since i've got various servers and so do nagios versions and the ways to install. :)

Now i'm redoing/undoing one of my server, the one with nag3.0.6/cent2.1.5. I'm now in nagios phase. Everything is ok til now and I've added a windows host to be remoted.

Do you want me to retry to reinstall centreon again? so that u'll tell me how to get it in the right way?

No, Nagios runs only on POSIX based systems.

It seems that your php.ini file is mis-configured to load modules that don't exist.

Hello,

I followed your guide and all appeared to work fine. However I added a host and am unable to see it. Im also unable to see the localhost. I used Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and installed Centreon 2.2.2. Any advice you can offer would be great.

Thanks
