Umum halnya para sysadmin atau Network Administrator membutuhkan sebuah tool untuk memonitoring perangkat-perangkat yang telah di pasang baik di kantor ataupun dirumaha.Centreon EMS adalah salah satu tools untuk memonitoring perangkat jaringan tersebut yang berguna untuk holistic, business-aware IT monitorin.
dalam bahasai inggrisnya mereka mengatakan
semoga di mengerti apa yang di katakan.nah kali ini kita akan mencoba menginstall centreon EMS untuk memonitoring perangkat jaringan kita menggunakan docker.“Monitor a heterogeneous IT infrastructure environment by deploying an infrastructure monitoring suite and leverage other IT operations management (ITOM) tools to fill functionality gaps… This provides better value when compared to a collection of similarly priced domain-specific products, since multiple features are now part of one offering.”
Dockerized Centreon 2.5.2
This is NOT well-tested. Please report all issues/requirements to either of the emails at the bottom of this page.It works on two different installations but the result you see evolved while getting it to this stage..
Please report any problems!
Preparing the host
The configuration files and state data are stored on directories outside the container. We will mount external directories for all state that should not vanish when the container is regenerated:- /docker-store/centreon/nagios-etc
- /docker-store/centreon/nagios-var
- /docker-store/centreon/centreon-etc
- /docker-store/centreon/centreon-var
Building the image
First step you do with this repo (if you cloned it) is to build it. Note that dot at the end referencing the current directory. Once that is done you have an image that you can run and that is taggedcenteron
for easier reference below.docker build -t centreon .
If your prefer to pull directly from Dockerdocker pull vegasbrianc/docker-centreon
Running the container
Now that's the easy part, as long as you remember to connect the right volumes:docker run -i -t -p 8100:80 --name centreon \
-v /docker-store/centreon/nagios-etc:/usr/local/nagios/etc \
-v /docker-store/centreon/nagios-var:/usr/local/nagios/var \
-v /docker-store/centreon/centreon-var:/var/lib/centreon \
-v /docker-store/centreon/centreon-etc:/etc/centreon \
-v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro \
--privileged=true \
centreon /bin/bash
The 8100 is the host TCP port under which the Apache Webserver inside
the container will be available on the outside. Change as desired.The
/bin/bash
drops you in a shell in exactly the situation where the container
normally would execute /start.sh
. If you omit /bin/bash
, exactly that will be done
(as specified as the CMD statement in Dockerfile
). While running the container with bash
, try /start.sh &
to start the "normal" stuff and still be able to look inside
the container for logfiles etc.The need to run the container as a privileged container stems from the need to increase the
kernel.msgmnb
parameter.The Centreon daemon
centcore
will not start and end up
in a supervisord-FATAL state. That is expected, as the following setup
will need to create the configuration files first. Nevertheless, the web
interface works already.Setting up Centreon
Once the container is running, you can reach Centreon underhttp://host-server.example.com:8100/centreon/
Centreon will start the setup process. It is very opinionated and even requires you to hand over
your MySQL root user password. Here are some hints for what values are needed:- Monitoring Engine: nagios
- Nagios directory: /usr/local/nagios
- Nagiostats binary: /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagiostats
- Nagios image directory: /usr/local/nagios/share/images
- Embedded Perl initialisation file: /usr/local/nagios/share/p1.pl
- Broker Module: ndoutils
- Ndomod binary (ndomod.o): /usr/local/nagios/bin/ndomod.o
/start.sh
should now take care of that.Centreon contains defaults that end up in the generated Nagios configuration. Those defaults need to be changed. Log into the web frontend as
admin
and go to:Configuration -> Monitoring Engines -> `main.cfg` (left nav bar) -> `Nagios CFG 1`
Then change these values:Files tab:
- Status file: /usr/local/nagios/var/status.log
- Log file: /usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.log
- Temp File: /usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.tmp
- Lock File: /usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.lock
- Log Archive Path: /usr/local/nagios/var/archives/
- State Retention File: /usr/local/nagios/var/retention.dat
Configuration

-> Generate- Click
Export
to see if any errors pop up. If not: - Activate checkbox
Move Export Files
- Activate checkbox
Restart Monitoring Engine

centcore
a chance to start.Fixing MySQL permissions
Centreon sets itself up with MySQL access rights from the IP address that the installation is running from. Inside a container, that IP very likely changes on restart, so it needs to be fixed.Look for the centreon entry in table
mysql.user
that is limited to 172.17.xx.yy
and
change the host column to read 172.17.%
. %
obviously works too.
Do the same thing in the mysql.db
database.Don't forget to
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
before retrying.Troubleshooting
NODUtils
It logs to syslog. If you see the following message, you need to increate the kernel parameterkernel.msgmnb
:ndo2db: Warning: Retrying message send. This can occur because you have too few messages
allowed or too few total bytes allowed in message queues.
You are currently using 64 of 2002 messages and 65536 of 65536 bytes in the queue.
See README for kernel tuning options.
Increasing the value on the host seemed like a reasonable thing, like so:sysctl -w kernel.msgmnb=655360
65536 was too small in my case. Adding a zero did the trick and may be way too high.
This only works when running the container with --privileged=true
and
running sysctl -w
as above from inside the container.
Running it on the outside yields 16384 inside the container, no matter what you do.
Doesn't make sense? Yeah, doesn't. Sorry.Centreon not showing any services or hosts under 'Monitoring'
Check for errors from ndo2db in syslog. See above.TODO
- Cron-Jobs are not handled yet (see
/root/nagios/centreon-2.5.2/tmpl/install/*.cron
)
