Auto-discovery error

[ticktockhouse]

Hello,

I've just installed Shinken, and I'm trying to import a host using auto-discovery.

I'm very new to Shinken, but quite experienced with Nagios.

I have a host (not on the same LAN) that I'm trying to add. I have added this host to $NMAPTARGETS$ in [tt]shinken/etc/resource.cfg[/tt]

I then run (as the documentation seems to suggest)

# bin/shinken-discovery -o etc/objects/discovery/ -c resource.cfg -r nmap

But I get an error:

[1374358332] Info :   Checked 0 businessimpactmodulations
ERROR : there is no matching runners selected!
Got no data!


LOOPLOOPLOOPLOOPLOOPLOOPLOOPLOOPLOOPLOOP 1

I then have to Ctrl-C to get out of this, upon which, I get:

Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "../bin/shinken-discovery", line 162, in <module>
  d.write_config()
 File "/usr/local/shinken/shinken/discovery/discoverymanager.py", line 582, in write_config
  still_duplicate_items = False

What am I doing wrong? I'm quite willing to believe I haven't configured something correctly, as Shinken is so new to me

Thanks

Load the etc/discovery.cfg file instead of the resource one

Thanks, that worked

I don't suppose there's any way to get discovery to write NRPE rules? From what I can see, it has inspected th host using NMAP, and written rules which will check externall-accessible services. Would it be possible to write templates for rules using check_nrpe, or even better, check-by-ssh, based on an NRPE port being available?

Many thanks

Discovery is mainly used for tagging hosts, not for generating commands. But you can got host tags that will use your commands, and if it find a nrpe port, it will tag the host (use) and so will use NRPE checks.

Look at some etc/packs/networks/services packs, they got discovery sample about port detection.
