Nagios setup: dashboard is 404 and notifications

Apps & App Center
#1

Hi. It seems that /nagios webpage is nonexistent as gives me 404 result.
And also I cannot find where in UCS to specify contact email for notifications, I had to go into each server in Computers and type my email there. Is this as per design?

#2

Regarding email notifications the person on IRC suggested to change mail/alias/root UCR and it worked.

Nagios it not installed by default. You could install it in the Univention Management Console from the “App Center”. See the documentation:

http://docs.software-univention.de/manual-4.1.html#Nagios:Installation

In my case 12 packages were installed on the master, and after that the dashboard is available at:

https://SERVERNAME-OR-IP/nagios/

Sorry I should have mentioned. It is Nagios monitoring server with nagios app installed. It does checks and sends notifications. Maybe something else I need to install?

In a fresh system not all nagios packages and dependencies are installed. This results in a missing dashboard.

Have you installed Nagios from the “App Center” or by executing “univentions-install univention-nagios-server”? – both should work and will automatically install all missing dependencies.

After that running a Nagios check manually will work i.e. check that no join script has to be executed

~# /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_univention_joinstatus
OK: system joined successfully

The dashbord itself is located at “/usr/lib/cgi-bin/nagios3” and the Apache config is “/etc/nagios3/apache2.conf”. For the 404 error you could check the output of “/var/log/apache2/error.log”

The server was installed before me by it exists in UCS management panel. Please see my results below:

~# /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_univention_joinstatus
OK: system joined successfully

~# univention-install univention-nagios-server

Update: I think that Apache does not know about /etc/nagios3/apache2.conf
user@nagios:/etc/apache2$ grep -i -r nagios *
user@nagios:/etc/apache2$

I have posted update question in my message above:

user@nagios:/etc/apache2$ grep -i -r nagios *
user@nagios:/etc/apache2$

I fixed it for myself by copying /etc/nagios3/apache2.conf file to /etc/apache2/sites-available/ but probably worth looking at why did it not work in the first place.

Thanks.

#9

For Apache there is “/etc/apache2/conf.d/nagios3.conf”, which is a symbolic link to the configuration file above. Sadly only “grep -iR nagios” with a capital “R” will find some results.

Glad to hear that you fixed it. Maybe a restart of apache would have also helped.

#10

maybe for some reason it failed to create this on my server that is why it did not work. Thanks for help.
