Plugin for Centreon and Rudder | ||
============================== | ||
|
||
This project is part of Rudder - IT automation and compliance made easy. | ||
See: http://rudder-project.org for more information. | ||
|
||
Mailing list, irc : https://www.rudder-project.org/site/community/mailing-lists/ | ||
|
||
Synposis | ||
-------- | ||
|
||
This plugin aims at providing Rudder integration with Centreon. It can automatically | ||
add hosts to Centreon when the corresponding node is set up for monitoring in Rudder. | ||
|
||
The nodes can also have monitoring templates applied using the appropriate generic methods | ||
in the technique editor. | ||
|
||
Installation | ||
------------ | ||
|
||
- Prerequisites : | ||
|
||
- Install a Centreon server https://download.centreon.com | ||
The server is not required to be running on the same host as the Rudder server. | ||
However, this plugin has to be installed and running on the Rudder server. | ||
|
||
- The Rudder server must have Python installed. | ||
|
||
- Generate the Rudder package : cd into the centreon directory, then make. The .rpkg package file | ||
will be generated in the current directory. | ||
|
||
- Install the package on the Rudder server : /opt/rudder/bin/rudderpkg install-file <plugin>.rpkg | ||
|
||
- Edit the configuration file /opt/rudder/etc/centreon.conf. This config file has to contain your Centreon | ||
server's webservice API URL, the credentials to access it, and the name of the Centreon poller used to | ||
monitor Rudder nodes (Central by default). You also need to provide the Rudder API URL, and a token to access | ||
it, which you can issue from the Rudder server webapp or CLI. | ||
|
||
Usage | ||
----- | ||
|
||
Now that the plugin is installed, you can check if it is working by adding new Rudder nodes. They will be added | ||
to you list of Centreon hosts (and removed on deletion of the Rudder node). | ||
|
||
Centreon comes with the possiblity to add monitoring templates to its hosts. You can create templates in | ||
Centreon or check for available ones. Once you know the name of a template suitable for a Rudder node/nodegroup, | ||
you can add it using the "Monitoring template" generic method from the technique editor. | ||
|
||
In order to configure the monitoring of the Rudder nodes, you can provide Centreon with parameters associated to its | ||
hosts. The "Monitoring parameter" generic method achieves this. | ||
