NagVis on Shinken 2.4

[bfowler]

Hello,

I'm using Shinken 2.4 on CentOS 7 but having trouble getting NagVis working. The livestatus module appears to be working but I can't get the /nagvis page to open. I followed the instructions in the Shinken Manual for NagVis and turned off selinux. Please advise.

Thanks,

Hi,

I know this post is quite old, but I had a lot of troubles installing NagVis on Shinken, so maybe this can help somebody .

You first need to install Livestatus and logstore-sqlite modules for Shinken:
shinken install livestatus
shinken install logstore-sqlite

Then, activate the Livestatus module in the broker file /etc/shinken/brokers/broker-master.cfg :
modules livestatus

In the Livestatus config file (/etc/shinken/modules/livestatus.cfg), activate the socket (uncomment the following line):
socket /usr/local/shinken/var/rw/live ; If a Unix socket is required

If it doesn't exist, create the folder /usr/local/shinken/var/rw

Restart Shinken broker:
service shinken restart

To install NagVis, dowload the last version here.

You will need some dependencies :
yum install httpd
yum install php
yum install gd
yum install rsync
yum install php-devel

You need to start httpd
service httpd start

Then, follow instructions in INSTALL file located in NagVis folder:

Unzip the folder where you want
tar xvzf nagvis-1.8*.tar.gz /tmp
cd /tmp/nagvis-1.8*

Make installer executable and run it
chmod +x install.sh
./install.sh


Here, information to enter during installation (you can change these values later in the /usr/local/nagvis/etc/nagvis.ini.php file):
Please enter the path to the nagios base directory [/usr/local/nagios]:/var/lib/shinken (shinken files location)
Please enter the path to NagVis base [/usr/local/nagvis]: Leave the default value
Do you want to use backend mklivestatus? [y]: y
Do you want to use backend ndo2db? [n]: n
Do you want to use backend ido2db? [n]: n
Please enter your MKLivestatus socket: "unix:/usr/local/shinken/var/rw/live"
Please enter the web path to NagVis [/nagvis]: Leave the default values for the following parameters
Please enter the name of the web-server user [apache]:
Please enter the name of the web-server group [apache]:
Create Apache config file [y]:

If needed, switch SELinux into permissive mode:
setenforce 0


Now, you can access to NagVis to this address: http://<frontend_ip>/nagvis/
Default user is admin/admin
