I know this is a *BSD forum but yall have given Solaris a place so I figured
this would be a good place to post my recent pet project.

This is not a HOWTO, it is more of a guide.
Any comments corrections are welcome..

We run a Solaris environment at work with primarily Solaris 10
and a few Solaris 9 boxes that are hopefully going away soon..

Nagios is something I learned about from this community years ago.
I set it up on an OPenBSD box at my old job and it is still running today..

Ok.. On with the guide:

This was done in a full root Solaris 10 zone on both SPARC and x86 architecture.

Installation of Nagios 3.03

Download the following Source code from SourceForge or
their respective site:

Nagios -- nagios-3.03
Nagios Plugins -- nagios-plugins-1.4.12
http://www.nagios.org/download/

RRdTool -- rrdtool-1.2.9
http://oss.oetiker.ch/rrdtool/download.en.html

CgiLib
http://www.infodrom.org/projects/cgilib/download.php

PHP -- php-5.2.6
http://www.php.net/downloads.php

Lightweight CGI Library -- cgilib-0.5
http://www.infodrom.org/projects/cgilib/download.php

PNP4Nagios -- pnp-0.4.10
http://www.pnp4nagios.org/pnp/start

PNP4Nagios along with Rrdtool uses performance data and produces some very nice graphs.

Set Root path to:

/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/mysql/bin:/usr/sfw/bin:/usr/ccs/bin:/usr/ucb

Set configure runtime linking environment

# crle -u -l /usr/local/lib
# crle -u -l /usr/local/ssl/lib

Install the following Sunfreeware packages..

If pkg-get in not installed on your system then download it here:
http://www.bolthole.com/solaris/pkg-get.html

After installing pkg-get

# pkg-get -U

Sunfreeware packages

# pkg-get install autoconf-2.62 bison-2.3 coreutils-6.4 expat-2.0.1 \
flex-2.5.4a fontconfig-2.4.2 freetype-2.3.1 gcc-3.4.6 \
gd-2.0.35 gtk+-1.2.10 jpeg-6b libpng-1.2.29 libtool-1.5.24 \
libiconv-1.9.2 libintl-3.4.0 make-3.81 mysql-5.0.51 \
ncurses-5.6 openssl-0.9.8h pkgconfig-0.20 \
zlib-1.2.3 netsnmp-5.4.1.1 libxml2- 2.6.31

Add the nagios user and group

# groupadd -g 667 nagios
# useradd -d /usr/local/nagios -g nagios -u 666 -s /bin/false nagios

Configure nagios

# ./configure \
--prefix=/usr/local/nagios \
--enable-event-broker \
--with-gd-lib=/usr/local/lib \
--with-gd-inc=/usr/local/include \
--with-nagios-user=nagios \
--with-nagios-group=nagios \
--with-command-user=webservd \
--with-command-group=webservd \
--with-checkresult-dir=/usr/local/nagios/tmp/results \
--with-temp-dir=/usr/local/nagios/tmp \
--with-init-dir=/etc/init.d \
--with-lockfile=/usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.lock \
--with-cgiurl=/nagios/cgi-bin \
--with-htmurl=/nagios

if everything works

# make all
# make install
# make install-init
# make install-commandmode
# make install-config

Solaris 10 uses apache2

# cp /etc/apache2/httpd.conf-example /etc/apache2/httpd.conf

Add the following at the bottom of http.conf

ScriptAlias /nagios/cgi-bin /usr/local/nagios/sbin

<Directory "/usr/local/nagios/sbin">
Options ExecCGI
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
AuthName "Nagios Access"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users
Require valid-user
</Directory>

Alias /nagios /usr/local/nagios/share

<Directory "/usr/local/nagios/share">
Options None
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
AuthName "Nagios Access"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users
Require valid-user
</Directory>

Now check the httpd.conf

# /usr/apache2/bin/apachectl configtest
Syntax OK

Enable apache2 and check

# svcadm enable http

# svcs http
STATE STIME FMRI
online 12:10:19 svc:/network/http:apache2

Create the htpasswd.users file

# /usr/apache2/bin/htpasswd -c /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users <username>
# New password:
# Re-type new password:
Adding password for user <username>

Check Nagios

# /etc/init.d/nagios checkconfig
Running configuration check...Killed
CONFIG ERROR! Check your Nagios configuration.

If you get this error chances are you didn't run the
crle command to link the necessary libraries..
There should be
/lib:/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib:/usr/local/ssl/lib
in your crle output.

Read on

Lets check the nagios binaries
# ldd /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios
libm.so.2 => /lib/libm.so.2
libpthread.so.1 => /lib/libpthread.so.1
libltdl.so.3 => (file not found)
librt.so.1 => /lib/librt.so.1
libglib-2.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0
libc.so.1 => /lib/libc.so.1
libaio.so.1 => /lib/libaio.so.1
libmd.so.1 => /lib/libmd.so.1

Note the "file not found"

After we check again..(after setting our crle options)

# ldd /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios
libm.so.2 => /lib/libm.so.2
libpthread.so.1 => /lib/libpthread.so.1
libltdl.so.3 => /usr/local/lib/libltdl.so.3
librt.so.1 => /lib/librt.so.1
libc.so.1 => /lib/libc.so.1
libdl.so.1 => /usr/lib/libdl.so.1
libgcc_s.so.1 => /usr/local/lib/libgcc_s.so.1
libaio.so.1 => /lib/libaio.so.1
libmd.so.1 => /lib/libmd.so.1

Check nagios again.

# /etc/init.d/nagios checkconfig
Running configuration check... OK.

Start nagios

# /etc/init.d/nagios start
-n Starting nagios:
done.
# tail /usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.log

Oops Nagios isn't starting

We must add nagios to the webservd group

# usermod -G webservd nagios

Notice that webservd is the owner of the rw which is
used to run commands from the Web.
*That* is why nagios needs to be a member of the webservd group

# pwd

# ls -al

Good Nagios is started and apache2 is also started..
Now let's check to see if we can access the web gui.

Ok.. we can see the web after we get logged in but
we don't have any permissions.. yet .. :-)

Web Page Banner
It appears as though you do not have permission to view information for
any of the hosts you requested...
If you believe this is an error, check the HTTP server authentication
requirements for accessing this CGI
and check the authorization options in your CGI configuration file.

It tells us what to do..
Mod the cgi file..

# vi /usr/local/nagios/etc/cgi.cfg
and add <username> to every place nagiosadmin is located..

Then just refresh your browser..
Woot..

Now lets compile the plugins

After downloading the latest from Sourceforge

# wget http://internap.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/nagiosplug/nagios-plugins-1.4.12.tar.gz

We set up our configure (notice that mysql needs to be installed to compile)

# ./configure \
--prefix=/usr/local/nagios \
--with-nagios-user=nagios \
--with-nagios-group=nagios \
--with-cgiurl=/nagios/cgi-bin \
--with-openssl=/usr/local/ssl \
--with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config \
--with-snmpget-command=/usr/local/bin/snmpget \
--with-snmpgetnext-command=/usr/local/bin/snmpgetnext

# make
# make install

Check to see that are plugins are there:

# ls /usr/local/nagios/libexec
check_apt check_file_age check_load check_ntp_peer
check_rpc check_udp
check_breeze check_flexlm check_log check_ntp_time
check_sensors check_ups
check_by_ssh check_ftp check_mailq check_nwstat
check_simap check_users
check_clamd check_hpjd check_mrtg check_oracle
check_smtp check_wave
check_cluster check_http check_mrtgtraf check_overcr
check_snmp negate
check_dig check_ifoperstatus check_nagios check_pgsql
check_spop urlize
check_disk check_ifstatus check_nntp check_ping
check_ssh utils.pm
check_disk_smb check_imap check_nntps check_pop
check_ssmtp utils.sh
check_dns check_ircd check_nt check_procs
check_tcp
check_dummy check_jabber check_ntp check_real
check_time

Now lets compile PHP

Compile php (note: php will not compile in a sparse root zone)

# ./configure \
--prefix=/usr/local \
--with-apxs2=/usr/apache2/bin/apxs \
--with-openssl=/usr/local/ssl \
--with-gd=/usr/local \
--with-jpeg-dir=/usr/local \
--with-png-dir=/usr/local \
--with-freetype-dir=/usr/local \
--with-zlib=/usr/local \
--with-pear

Looks like everything configured ok..
# make
# make test (states that I may have found a bug in PHP)
# make install

Add to /etc/apache2/httpd.conf

LoadModule php5_module libexec/libphp5.so
DirectoryIndex index.html index.html.var index.php
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

Check apache2

# /usr/apache2/bin/apachectl configtest
[Sat Jun 21 20:12:06 2008] [warn] module php5_module is already loaded,
skipping
Syntax OK

Install rrdtool
I tried the sunfreeware package 1.3.0 but it was missing something
at the end could not find a path (which existed) so I went back to 1.2.9

Rrdtool 1.2.9(this version) uses cgilib-0.5.tar.gz

Note: compile cgilib-0.5 and copy the files or rrdtool 1.2.9 will not compile
properly.

Add to Makefile

CC=gcc

then

# make

Copy the necessary files to their respective location

# cp libcgi.a /usr/local/lib
# cp cgi.h /usr/local/include

Rrdtool 1.2.9

# ./configure
# make
# make install

Pnp4nagios

# ./configure \
--prefix=/usr/local/nagios \
--with-nagios-user=nagios \
--with-nagios-group=nagios \
--with-rrdtool=/usr/local/rrdtool-1.2.9/bin/rrdtool

Change the permissions if needed

# chown -R nagios:nagios /usr/local/nagios/var/rrd
# make all
# make install
# make install-init
# make-nstall-config

Now make changes to the nagios.cfg

Change
process_performance_data=0
to
process_performance_data=1

Uncomment
#host_perfdata_command=process-host-perfdata
#service_perfdata_command=process-service-perfdata

Change
#host_perfdata_file=/tmp/host-perfdata
#service_perfdata_file=/tmp/service-perfdata
to
host_perfdata_file=/usr/local/nagios/tmp/host-perfdata
service_perfdata_file=/usr/local/nagios/tmp/service-perfdata

Commands.cfg
Comment out

# 'process-host-perfdata' command definition
##define command{
## command_name process-host-perfdata
## command_line /usr/bin/printf "%b"
"$LASTHOSTCHECK$\t$HOSTNAME$\t$HOSTSTATE$\t$HOSTATT EMPT$\t$HOSTSTATETYPE$
\t$HOSTEXECUTIONTIME$\t$HOSTOUTPUT$\t$HOSTPERFDATA $\n" >>
/usr/local/nagios/var/host-perfdata.out
## }

# 'process-service-perfdata' command definition
##define command{
## command_name process-service-perfdata
## command_line /usr/bin/printf "%b"
"$LASTSERVICECHECK$\t$HOSTNAME$\t$SERVICEDESC$\t$SE RVICESTATE$\t$SERVICEA
TTEMPT$\t$SERVICESTATETYPE$\t$SERVICEEXECUTIONTIME $\t$SERVICELATENCY$\t$SERVICEOUTPUT$\t$SERVICEPERF DATA$\n"
>> >> /usr/l
ocal/nagios/var/service-perfdata.out
## }

Add

define command{
command_name process-host-perfdata
command_line /usr/local/nagios/libexec/process_perfdata.pl -d
HOSTPERFDATA
}

define command{
command_name process-service-perfdata
command_line /usr/local/nagios/libexec/process_perfdata.pl
}

Edit templates.cfg

Add to "generic-host" HOST Template
action_url /nagios/pnp/index.php?host=$HOSTNAME$

Add to "generic-servic" Sevice Template
action_url /nagios/pnp/index.php?host=$HOSTNAME$&srv=$SERVICEDESC$

In /usr/local/nagios/etc/pnp

# cp rra.cfg-sample rra.cfg
# cp process_perfdata.cfg-sample process_perfdata.cfg
# cp npcd.cfg-sample npcd.cfg

Change permissions on the nagios tmp directory
# chown -R nagios:nagios /usr/local/nagios/tmp

You now have a very basic setup of Nagios running on a Solaris 10
box.
The configuration file is locahost.cfg
Use the localhost.cfg as a starting point to make other
*.cfg files

Note:
Check_swap
check_local_procs
do not work out of the box..

Update: I have made few changes (edits based on comments)

Hi.. I have Nagios 3.0.3 installed with plugins on Solaris x86. The default localhost page comes up.

Within localhosts.cfg, when i added /usr and /var (they are seperate partitions), the page would not show this information.

Similarly, when I add other windows hosts in windows.cfg, I cannot get them to show up information.

I have installed Nagios in /nagios-3.0.3 and the plugins into /nagios-plugins.1.13.x.

When I ran ./configure for both, I had used --prefix=/nagios.3.0.3 and --prefix=/nagios-plugins.1.13.x during compilation.

As mentioned in your guide, using /usr/local/nagios as --prefix has significance besides using it as --prefix???

AND OTHER THING: Could be that solaris has firewall running on it?

Appreciate an early reply, regards,

Rahul

I have this working.. looks like --prefix is significant.. i recompiled plugins using --prefix=/nagios-3.0.3 and the remaining..

http://www.infodrom.org/projects/cgilib

You can find also find an archive copy on

http://people.ee.ethz.ch/~oetiker/webtools/rrdtool/pub/libs

The last tested version of cgilib is 0.5.

I am sorry I didn't check comments on this page.. I will in the future..
This looks like you have rdtool 1.3.0 because of the "pkgconfig"
error..
I remember seeing that error and running into the same compile issues
as you have..

Well I had a SPARC box sitting in a lab collecting dust, so I figured I'll try this out, and I needed a Nagios box there anyways. I've been using nagios for a few years, but never touched RRDTools or PNP4Nagios.

Nagios is an awesome product

Just a few things I'd like to add to your AWESOME guide.

In your ./configure for your plugins - you just need --with-mysql, don't add in the = sign + path. As you can see from the print out of your plugins, check_mysql isn't in there. Also you have a typo in that configure command, the last word should be 'snmpgetnext' instead of 'snmpgetnetxt'.

Fixed the typo - thx
MySql - I could never get the plugin to compile.. just never fixed the guide..

I had a lib missing, not the one you had (libgcc_s.so.1), even after the crle commands. I just created a sym link so that the lib would be in the folder. Might not be the best solution but it worked.

I tried symlinks at first (in a sparse root zone) but kept running into
issues..
Essentially, PHP made me go to a full root zone and crle did pretty
much solve all the issues..

I had a lot of trouble getting RRDTools to complie so I just installed the one on SunFreeware which was 1.2.19. Worked fine.

I also tried that route but got errors compiling pnp4nagios...
the cgilib is what got me in compiling rrdtool-1.2.9

I'm not a Solaris admin, and had a lot of problems with the pkg-get stuff. I ended up just downloading the packages from SunFreeware.

pkg-get installs in /usr/bin/ so it *has* to be installed in the global zone
it is just a tool to automate the download process nothing more..
I have also done the same thing when pkg-get doesn't work..

Note Here: pkg-get will also let update a package in place very
easily

Now I just need to figure how to actually use PNP4Nagios to my benefit... lol

It generates some nice graphs when you just want an overview..

Thanks again for writing this great Guide!

No Problem...
Thanks for all the input..!!

I am going to redo my installation with a few more features and
will post the next guide here..
