Just what's in the nagios doc on CGI.cfg. The doc is lacking about what it does, so I guess I'm a little curious what that config is about. - Sean Alderman Senior Engineer, UDit Systems Integration This message had been brought to you by Android Bionic. <div class="gmail_quote">On Sep 10, 2013 1:10 PM, "Frost, Mark {BIS}" <<a href="mailto:mark.frost1@pepsico.com">mark.frost1@pepsico.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"> <div lang="EN-US" link="blue" vlink="purple"> <div> Sean, Can you describe what you’re doing for Splunk integration with Nagios? I’ve used Splunk with Nagios in a couple different ways, but I’m not aware of any single standard for doing so. Originally, I just had Splunk run a scheduled search, which would trigger a script which sent a passive check result back to a Nagios service via NSCA. That way – having Nagios process passive check results from Splunk – was the only way I could see to do that. Recently, I played around a bit with writing scripts that made use of Splunk’s REST API so the checks could be run as active checks from Nagios. (I always prefer active checks). I set this up for only one check, but once I got it working it worked pretty well. As a side note, I’m still a little on the fence about whether or not I really want to have Nagios find problems through Splunk and then alert on them or have Splunk find an alert on them directly without using Nagios at all… Are you referring to another way of making Splunk and Nagios talk together?

I'm running Nagios Core (via EPEL) and Splunk 5.0.3 on OracleLinux 6.4. </div> When I edit cgi.cfg and enable splunk integration, then set the splunk URL to <a href="https://%3cmysplunkserver%3e:8000/en-US/app/search/flastimeline" target="_blank">https://<mysplunkserver>:8000/en-US/app/search/flastimeline</a>, I notice the nagios URLs look like: https://<mysplunkserver>:8000/en-US/app/flashtimeline?q=search%<a href="http://20test1.udayton.edu" target="_blank">20test1.udayton.edu</a>%20<nagios plugin check>. I have two questions... · Is there a way I can make nagios use the hostname only, not the FQDN? We use short names in splunk so we don't a mix of fqdn and short names since we use both forwarders and syslog as input. · What data is this query looking for, is it expected that I should have my nagios log in splunk? The <nagios plugin check> in the query doesn't seem useful to me, unless there's splunk data specifically tied to that check, and I'm hoping someone could provide an example. </div> <div> <div> <div> <div> Kind regards, </div> <div> -- <div> Sean M.
