Perform common tasks in Nagios related to downtime and notifications.
|
|
|
|
The Nagios module has two basic functions: scheduling downtime and
|
|
toggling alerts for services or hosts.
|
|
|
|
The following parameters are common to all *actions* in the nagios
|
|
module:
|
|
|
|
+---------------+----------+----------------------------------+------------------------------------------------------------------+
|
|
| parameter | required | default | comments |
|
|
+===============+==========+==================================+==================================================================+
|
|
| action | yes | | one of: 'downtime', 'enable_alerts'/'disable_alerts', or |
|
|
| | | | 'silence'/'unsilence' |
|
|
+---------------+----------+----------------------------------+------------------------------------------------------------------+
|
|
| host | yes | | host to operate on in nagios |
|
|
+---------------+----------+----------------------------------+------------------------------------------------------------------+
|
|
| cmdfile | no | /var/spool/nagios/cmd/nagios.cmd | path to the nagios *command file* (FIFO pipe) |
|
|
+---------------+----------+----------------------------------+------------------------------------------------------------------+
|
|
|
|
The following parameters may be used with the **downtime** action:
|
|
|
|
+---------------+----------+----------------------------------+------------------------------------------------------------------+
|
|
| parameter | required | default | comments |
|
|
+===============+==========+==================================+==================================================================+
|
|
| author | no | Ansible | author to leave downtime comments as |
|
|
+---------------+----------+----------------------------------+------------------------------------------------------------------+
|
|
| minutes | no | 30 | minutes to schedule downtime for |
|
|
+---------------+----------+----------------------------------+------------------------------------------------------------------+
|
|
| services | no | | what to manage downtime/alerts for. separate multiple services |
|
|
| | | | with commas. |
|
|
| | | | **service** is an alias for **services** |
|
|
+---------------+----------+----------------------------------+------------------------------------------------------------------+
|
|
|
|
The following parameter must be used with the **enable_alerts** and **disable_alerts** actions:
|
|
|
|
+---------------+----------+----------------------------------+------------------------------------------------------------------+
|
|
| parameter | required | default | comments |
|
|
+===============+==========+==================================+==================================================================+
|
|
| services | no | | what to manage downtime/alerts for. separate multiple services |
|
|
| | | | with commas. |
|
|
| | | | **service** is an alias for **services** |
|
|
+---------------+----------+----------------------------------+------------------------------------------------------------------+
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
The **silence** and **unsilence** actions have no additional
|
|
parameters that may be used with them.
|
|
|
|
|
|
All actions require the **host** parameter to be given explicitly. In
|
|
playbooks you can use the ``$inventory_hostname`` variable to refer to
|
|
the host the playbook is currently running on.
|
|
|
|
You can specify multiple services at once by separating them with
|
|
commas, .e.g., ``services=httpd,nfs,puppet``.
|
|
|
|
When specifying what service to handle there is a special service value,
|
|
**host**, which will handle alerts/downtime for the **host itself**,
|
|
e.g., ``service=host``. This keyword may *not* be given with other
|
|
services at the same time. *Handling alerts/downtime for a host does
|
|
not affect alerts/downtime for any of the services running on it.*
|
|
|
|
Examples from :doc:`playbooks`::

|
|

|
|
- hosts: webservers
|
|
user: root
|
|
tasks:
|
|
- name: set 30 minutes of apache downtime

|
|
delegate_to: nagios.example.com
|
|
|
|
- name: schedule an hour of HOST downtime
|
|
action: nagios action=downtime minutes=60 service=host host=$inventory_hostname
|
|
delegate_to: nagios.example.com
|
|
|
|
# Use the default of 30 minutes
|
|
# Schedule downtime for three services at once
|
|
- name: schedule downtime for a few services
|
|
action: nagios action=downtime services=frob,foobar,qeuz host=$inventory_hostname
|
|
delegate_to: nagios.example.com
|
|
|
|
- name: enable SMART disk alerts
|
|
action: nagios action=enable_alerts service=smart host=$inventory_hostname
|
|
delegate_to: nagios.example.com
|
|
|
|
# you can disable multiple at once
|
|
- name: disable httpd alerts
|
|
action: nagios action=disable_alerts service=httpd,nfs host=$inventory_hostname
|
|
delegate_to: nagios.example.com
|
|
|
|
# host alerts must be disabled as a seperate action
|
|
- name: disable HOST alerts
|
|
action: nagios action=disable_alerts service=host host=$inventory_hostname
|
|
delegate_to: nagios.example.com
|
|
|
|
- name: silence ALL alerts
|
|
action: nagios action=silence host=$inventory_hostname
|
|
delegate_to: nagios.example.com
|
|

**Troubleshooting Tips**
|
|
|
|
The nagios module may not operate for you out of the box. The most
|
|
likely problem is with your **cmdfile** permissions/paths. You will
|
|
receive this error if that is the case::
|
|
|
|
{"msg": "unable to write to nagios command file", "failed": true, "cmdfile": "/var/spool/nagios/cmd/nagios.cmd"}
|
|
|
|
Steps to correct this:
|
|
|
|
1. Ensure you are running the nagios module as a user who has
|
|
**write** permissions to the **cmdfile**.
|
|
|
|
2. Ensure you have **cmdfile** set correctly.
